I Graduated!

Tie Wrap Dress - ASOS Petite | Lace Up Heels - JustFab

I've graduated! Who knew that I ever would but now I've donned my hat and gown and didn't fall over whilst collecting my degree so I guess I'm an adult now.

Graduation was the most wonderful day, which I got to luckily spend with the five girls who dragged me kicking and screaming through university, my amazing parents who supported me every single step of the way and Charlie who has been my life line throughout the majority of 3rd year and I owe a lot too!

Congrats to all those bloggers around me who also graduated this year, and I am now very excited to leave education and enter the real world of work!

Inverted

Crop Top - ASOS | Midi Skirt - Topshop | Mules - Debenhams 

Another of my evening outfits from Venice, which feels about a million years ago as I prepare to graduate next week, scary D:

I don't usually go for skirts that aren't mini as I don't feel longer lengths compliment my height but I love this midi to pieces, not to mention that my ass looks damn good in them which is always a plus.  

Teamed with a crop top because I'm a typical girl and I was ready to eat a shed load of squid!

Mermaid

Tank Top - ASOS | Maxi Skirt - Topshop | Mules - Debenhams 

Another one of my evening outfit's from Venice. I picked up this maxi mermaid lace dream about a year ago of the bargain price of £9 down from £70 but always couldn't find the right place to where, because obviously it was waiting for it's grand debut in Venice! It was pretty for those warm evenings and made me feel rather swanky and dolled up. 

In other news, this week is degree classification week at my university and yesterday I found out I will be graduating with a 2:2 in Information Technology in Creative Industries from Lancaster University! I've had the best and the worst times at university, and have on numerous occasions wanted to jack it all in so to have actually made it, without any resits is the biggest achievement of my life. It may not be a 1st or a 2:1 but for me personally, it's all I could ever want. So excitingly I move on to my next path in life and start full time work mid August working in Marketing as I know hate computer science with all my heart. 

For anyone else receiving their degree results, best of luck!

Kimono Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit - Missguided | Sandals - ASOS

And I'm back from my jollies! This is the first of SIX Venice posts I've compiled, I had such a truly amazing time, Venice is for sure one of those most visit locations. It just has such a wonderful vibe, untouched by commercial stores and chains leaving beautiful scenery and architecture. I did not want to come home, but then I did have my graduation ball last at Blackpool Tower which was so brilliant and pretty emotional as I have to come to terms with the fact I am finally about to leave education! Cry.

But yeah, this is an outfit I wore on our last night in Venice, when we ate dinner by the water and then watched a Vivaldi recital which was truly wonderful. I love jumpsuits, they're so easy to wear and great in warm countries as this one has pretty thin material making it great for those warm Italian evenings!

Cream Stripes

Crop Jacket - H&M | Stripy Skirt - Ganni | Mules - Debenhams 

Another of my scheduled posts while I'm in Venice, although I'm pretty pale and have light hair, I still adore all light outfits and this is no exception. Wearing a jacket as a top is one of those things you are blessed with being able to do if you have no boobs, so thanks boobs for that. This Ganni was the steal of my life, should have been around £80 and I got it for a sweet, sweet tenner. Beautiful times. 

Traffic Light Orange

Tunic Top - ASOS White | Jeans - ASOS | Contrast Boots - Topshop 

Hey guys, I'm currently away in Venice so I scheduled this so I didn't desert my blog again. This orange tunic is one of my favourite buys from ASOS, from their high end range ASOS range and literally goes with so many things. I love pairing blonde hair with orange, it's a really interesting combination. & these boots are just insane. 

Hope you're having a good week x

Lavish Alice

Cape Blazer - Lavish Alice | Tee - ASOS | Petite Jeans - ASOS | Pointed Flats - ASOS | Sunglasses - H&M

It's finally the weekend and that means I'm jetting off to Venice tomorrow hurrah! Muchos excited, my suitcase is packed to burst hopefully the weather forecast we've been reading is wrong as it looks like we've got a few days stormy weather there if so!

This cape blazer from Lavish Alice is one of my favourite buys of all time, but is very tricky to wear in the right way. Simple looks work best with such an out there piece so I threw on a plain tee and jeans, with some jazzy pointed flats in metallic to break up all the monochrome. 

I will be scheduling a few posts while I am away, so you'll be seeing those in the coming week :)

Mismatched Suit

Blazer - H&M | Tee - New Look | Leather Trousers - New Look | Adidas - Schuh | Bag - Primark

Hey hey hey it's Saturday! Hope you guys have some lovely plans today, I'm celebrating with my uni housemates us all FINALLY finishing our degrees and being free little bird for a little while at least! Hurrah! Hopefully a chance to enjoy summer without any pressures, at least until I find out my degree mark and then I go cry in a bowl of Nutella.

I wore this outfit out with my friend to go out for a lunch a few days ago, were I discovered Bella Italia do gluten free pizza and my life changed forever! Heads up to those equally suffering the gluten free curse. I love making suits from pieces that aren't meant to match, like pair a black blazer with leather trousers so you have the contrast of materials. With a suit, I don't like to make the other aspects of the outfit too loud so I pulled a plain white tee and my forever faithful Adidas.

Have a sick weekend guys x 

Weave

Smock Top - New Look | Jeans - ASOS Petite | Headscarf - Vintage | Wedges - ASOS

Hey guys! Finally I have finished university and with that I hopefully return to blogging properly, although as my boyfriend likes to point out I say this everytime I post! But for reals, I am back for good.

My style has changed quite a bit over this year, moving towards more floaty 70's vibes but still sticking to my black and white thing. I re-discovered my love for headscarves and wrapping them round my head even if I do get strange looks in Lancaster. Teamed with my regular black skinny jeans and the most awkward pair of shoes ever to walk in, my clumpy weave wedges! A shoe that when my mum saw them, she just commented on how on Earth I walk in them. Will I ever learn, no.

Love, Elena
