Canal Stylin

Crotchet Top - New Look | Playsuit - ASOS | Fedora - Primark | Fringed Tote Bag - ASOS

Happy Thursday! Time for another Venice instalment, this was on an outfit I wore on our second day there and I am totally in love with it. Usually with this top I just wear it on its (risque I know) but I actually love it layered on top of this, which meant I was covered up slightly but still not over dressed. Paired with my dusky pink fedora, an absolute steal from Primark at a tenner and my trusty tote and I was ready for a day's exploring Venice!

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!

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

Red Fringing

Leather Dress - ASOS | Crotchet Top - New Look | Hat - New Look | Fringed Boots - Topshop

Hey guys, hope you're having a good week! I've been spending mine recovering from Parklife and preparing for Venice on Sunday! I forgot how much I hate planning outfits ahead so that's been fun, but it's in touching distance now so if anyone has any hints or tips of what to do and eat (gluten free options preferred aha!) please let me know :-)

My style has changed so much this year and I'm so much more into floaty clothes and have worn this crotchet top to death. So much so that I even caught it on my watch and ripped a massive hole in it! Uh oh, still doesn't stop me wearing it though... I paired it with a simple LBD to add a good contrast but kept the hippy vibes flowing with my favourite red fringed boots from Topshop.

I will be scheduling posts for while I'm away and forcing my boyfriend to actually do my outfit photos whilst in Venice so I will be returning will hopefully some lovely locations shoots for once!

H&M Concious Collection

Wrap Top - H&M Concious Collection | Jeans - ASOS | Sliders - Primark

Happy Thursday! It's been so nice up North today, shock horror! I shot this outfit last week when the weather was different, it's one of my favourite combos, wrap tops and jeans. Always a winner. Kind of feels like I'm wearing a dressing gown but is more socially acceptable than actually wearing said dressing gown. Sliders were my shoe of choice last summer and it looks like the same will happen again this summer. Sliders 4 eva. And that include the food version mmm.

Peace out x

Suede

Stripy Tee - ASOS | Suede Skirt - Glamorous @ ASOS | Snake Print Boots - ASOS | Turban

Hey dolls, is it just me who only starts to realise they have an obsession with ASOS when you type out that every item of clothing in this outfit is from there... 

I know I promised I was coming back properly to blogging during my easter break from university but life yet again took over, and juggling a job, hosting a radio show, revision and spending time with the those I love always takes priority and I don't want to churn out some god awful outfit posts just for the sake of it. 

The plan is to make a full return to full time blogging mid-May once I finish university fully, and can hopefully rope my boyfriend into becoming my photographer whether he likes it or not. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter, filled with love and joy. I've had a great past few weeks.

Keep checking my Instagram for regular outfits and pictures, & you can also tune into my Fashion Radio Show on W!ZARD RADIO every Saturday night between 7pm and 8pm!

Fred

Hat - Fred Perry | Duster Coat - ASOS | Top - H&M | Leather Trousers - New Look | Slip On's - Asos | Bag - Zara

I told you I was back for good! I've gone back to university this week so I using my many photographers to my advantage, in which I shot FIVE outfit's today for you guys. So look forward to those coming your way!

This is what I wore to university today, pretty chilled but I like to actually show what I wear rather than something I'd like to wear. This duster coat has appeared constantly on the blog and it is my baby, a bit too thin for winter but it's all about layering! My new favourite knitted item is my Fred Perry hat, which my lovely boyfriend bought my for Christmas and it is my first ever item from Fred Perry, hopefully the start of many more... 

As you can also see my hair is a lot more naturale now, and I bloody love it. This is truly the longest it's ever been so you guys are lucky to see it during my good hair stage of my life.

I've just finished shooting some outfit posts with UniDays, a guide of ways to wear your jeans without looking the same everyday! So this will be posted throughout the week and hopefully by UniDays too!

Mellow Monday #5

So another Monday has rolled its way round and it falls in the middle of London Fashion Week, an event I wish I was at but am going to try my damnedest to get there next year!

So what's keeping me happy this week?

- My baby sister started her degree at Glasgow School of Art. My sister is the biggest inspiration to me, constantly fighting everything life throws at her and I am so unbelievably proud to call her my sister. Remember me when you're receiving your Turner Prize!

- I reached 2000 page views yesterday, which may be a tiny number to most but its amazing to me! I'm so glad I decided to start a fashion blog, all my friends have been so supportive and I'm so excited to go back to university where I have many different photographers awaiting me!

- I passed* my resits and got back into 3rd year! I struggle with exams and do a very hard degree in Computer Science, so every year I end up doing resits. It doesn't bother me anymore, as everything in life is just a test to prove how strong you are and I've beaten this test again! 

- I started training at my new job this week, which I'm both scared and excited to begin as it means I can keep spending stupid amounts of money on clothes woo!

- Lastly, I am happy and I am healthy and I'm glad my summer dealt me a dud card because I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for the things that happen. I am stronger and better for everything that happened this summer and although it wasn't a fun time, I made it to the other side.

*passed is debatable but we'll keep that between us ;)

All That Glitters

Thin Gold Rings/Chunky Ring - Primark | Gold Watch - ASOS | Happy Necklace - ASOS | Stacked Necklace - ASOS | Diamond Chain Earring - Topshop

Jewellery is one of my favourite things in the world. Depending on how I feel, I either wear all silver or all gold. At the current present, I'm sticking with delicate, all gold pieces. I feel they are so much more effective than statement pieces when your outfit is quite bold but you want to able a bit of glitter to your look. 

I actually wear silver earrings in my ears but as I have 9 piercings in total, I can't change them everyday! So I usually change my bottom lobe piercing to jazz things up and this Diamond affair with its hanging chains is one of my top picks. 

Necklace wise, I don't really do them as I tend to wear a lot of pieces that don't suit a necklace but these two choices are very delicate yet funky. 

I rarely wear a watch but when I do, this my favourite. Minimalistic, but classic. Perfection.

I have a vast collection of rings, ranging from vintage to high street to gemstone pieces. As I want to keep things simple, I'm refraining from wearing my vintage pieces and just sticking to these simple thin rings, as I can wear them in some many different ways.

What jewellery are you wearing at the moment?
