Flower Power

Floral Shorts £19.99 Forever 21 // Floral Shirt £15.99 Zara // Floral Cami £4 Primark 

Just a few florals as it's Spring. I wear floral prints a lot, usually when I want to make myself feel a bit pretty so throw in some flowers...if that even works.

Shirt Mania

Lilac Shirt £14 F&F at Tesco // White Floral shirt £25 Bank // Porcelain Print Shirt £39.99 Zara // Burgundy Floral Shirt £23.99 Ark // Beige and Black Floral Shirt £19.99 New Look // Aztec print Shirt £8 Primark 

I think I'm a little bit addicted to shirts. This is just a small selection out of my large collection of shirts. The first one I bought was the Porcelain Print White and Blue Shirt from Zara. I was reluctant at the time to spend £40 on shirt but now I am so glad I did. It's one of my most worn wardrobe items. One of the main reasons I love shirts is they are so easy to wear. I can pair a shirt with jeans, leggings, skirts, over a dress AND under a jumper. My shirt collection is getting so big they have to share hangers in my wardrobe.. oops! 

 My latest purchase is the White Floral Shirt from Bank. Paired with White jeans and sandals, perfect for summer!

A recent shopping spree took place after my Student Loan came in. Yes I know I'm supposed to spend it on boring things like food and rent but shopping is way more fun and because I study fashion It's part of my course anyway.. or at least I tell myself so. Trend research or something like that. Been looking for a white jacket for a while and not really found anything I loved but settled for this H&M piece which is fitted and comfortable. I personally think I could have been a lot worse with the spending, most of these things were relatively inexpensive. Went into Sainsbury's because I had seen some Gok Wan floral trousers advertised that I reaaaaally want but they only had size 14+ which being a size 8 isn't much use. Gutted. But picked up the red/coral top while I was there. Thought it would look cool with some white jeans. 

Ordered some RayBan wayfarer glasses (not sunglasses) on this spree as well. They were more necessary though because I can't see much without them. 

Spring Wishlist

Olivia Burton Watches Available at Asos and Topshop // Lipsy Embellished Cami Dress £55 Bank // Dogtooth Crop Top and Asymmetric Skirt both £14.99 Missguided // Nike Roshe Run £70 JD Sports

At the moment these are the few things I REALLY want. I've been after an Olivia Burton watch for a while but I already have two watches so don't know whether to splash out or not. If i get one I would get a white, coral or pale pink strap which would be nice to have over summer so now is the time to go for it I suppose. They're only about £70 and from Asos or Topshop you can get student discount, almost too much of a bargain to miss. The picture here doesn't do the embellished dress justice. In real life it is INCREDIBLE. As soon as I have either 1) booked a holiday somewhere hot or 2) been invited to a wedding (haha!) I am going to snap this up. I don't usually like Lipsy stuff at all but this is worth every penny of the £55. The Dogtooth Co-ord set is also a holiday kind of outfit. Again, I've been looking at Co-ord's for a while but haven't found one I really want yet until this. I can't make my mind up if £30 is a lot for the set, I guess not as you can wear each half separately as well with other garments. Finally, I'm looking at getting some funky trainers. Not for the gym as I already have some but some for general day wear. Waiting for payday before I get them though. All of this little lot would set me back £220 or there abouts, OUCH!!

My Beautiful Boy

I love this dog a ridiculous amount. He wakes me up most days and cuddles me every night. I literally could not live without him. We got him two years ago and he looked like this...

Since then he has made me laugh, cheered me up when i'm sad and sometimes been really annoying. He is the most affectionate dog I have ever come across and insists on hugs and cuddles 24/7. I could not live without him! He is like a huge teddy bear with fluffy, velvet soft fur and little tan eyebrows, mouth and paws. Anyone who is a dog lover will understand my love for him. Maybe one day I'll be a crazy dog lady with 10 puppies...

Trade Show

I don't know if I've mentioned it before but i study International Fashion Marketing at university which is mainly a business based degree but occasionally has interesting tasks such as this trade fair... We were assigned groups and given a retailer to focus our project on. My group was given All Saints. We then had to take this brand and create an innovative idea to expand the brand. We decided to create a sub brand called Little Saints which is clothing targeted at children. We had to design a range, give marketing ideas, decide on where would source the garments and all other aspects of creating and marketing the 'new' brand. It was so much fun and my group was really focussed and had great ideas! The final part of the assessment was to carry out a trade fair we we put forward all of our ideas with other extras such as decorations, business cards, goodie bags, music etc. It was a great day and interesting to see everyone else's ideas and work. The good news is.... We got a first! It was a success and our ideas were really appreciated! I wish every assessment was this much fun! Now to start revising for my exams :(

I have soo much hair and usually get compliments about how long and thick it is.. but I usually have no idea what to do with it to make it look nice. My new favourite is a little bun on the top of my head.. a cross between cool and ridiculous. The fluffy crop jumper returns once again. People probably think I don't own anything else but I promise I do, it just goes well with a lot of things. The white shirt is a linen/cotton material and although it creases REALLY easily it it's comfy and simple and such a bargain at £7.99! I wear disco leggings/pants a lot because I got bored of normal leggings that go baggy at the knees and think they make outfits look a bit different. American Apparel started the trend but at a whopping £35 a mere £4.99off eBay for practically the same product is a steal! My new FAVOURITE shoes are this pair of Topshop slip ons. Wanted some for a while and then my mum bought me a pair for my birthday. They killed my feet at first but now they are the comfiest things I own! They pretty much go with anything and the snakeskin effect makes them a bit nicer than just plain leather. For £20 (£18 with student discount) I think they are also ANOTHER bargain! Next time I will post about something other than my fluffy cropped jumper and boring black and white...
