The Tin Man









Grey Long Sleeved Tee - Noisy May @ ASOS | Silver Trousers - H&M | Platforms - ASOS 

So I have white hair guys! I finally gave in and purchased the Bleach London Bleach Kit and White Toner and oh my life that stuff is a dream. Totally made my hair the whitest its ever been and it doesn't even feel that bad, hallelujah! I'm so in love with my hair now, white hair is all I've wanted for so long, I sit on Instagram daily lusting over white haired babes and now, hopefully I am one now!

So to match my white/silvery locks, I pulled on my favourite all grey ensemble to compliment my hair, those trousers are so comfy yet so snazzy, defiantly fancy pants! I then topped off the whole look with my new platforms from ASOS, which I'm hoping are good lookalikes for the Stella McCarthney leather versions, which I will lust over and will sadly never own sigh. But these £13 babies will satisfy me for now.

How beautiful is this backdrop for this look, I think blue compliments grey and white perfectly so I spied the chance to use it today.

What do you think of my hair change guys, like or loathe?

Reaching Higher Heights





As you may know by now, I'm only a little student (5"2 to be exact) and regularly depend on platform shoes to help bring me up to everyone else's height (being called shortie soon becomes boring). But there's only so much a platform slip on can do before you call in the help of heels.

I don't do normal heels, they're too girly and altogether too uncomfortable so I decided to give heeled boots/platforms a go. The shoe boots were a bargain find on ASOS, now only £10! A perfect piece to bring a bit of texture into a monochrome look, and smarten up a pair of jeans too. The added appeal of a pointed tip and I was won over.

My other latest addition to my heeled footwear collection is the platform heels. I love a pair of all white shoes and these are the smarter version of the Van Slip On's I adore. Sadly, the only downfall of these shoes is due to their all white nature, they pick up dirt like no ones business, as shown in these photos.

I'm currently away on holiday but will reply to all comments on my return.

Mix & Match






Striped Tee - M&S | Leopard Print Skort - New Look | Duster Coat - ASOS | Platforms - ASOS | Bag - Zara | Sunglasses - Primark 

I regularly go to Instagram for inspiration and saw a few posts combining stripes and leopard so decided to give it a shot myself!

I love the mix of the busy leopard print with the calm stripes of my tee and then balancing it out with my grey duster coat. As the combo of patterns is the main focal point of this look, I decided to keep everything else very monochrome, pairing it with my favourite Baby Spice Platforms and my new baby, my doctor's bag from Zara.

I mentioned this bag in my Zara wishlist and just knew I'd never be able to resist its beauty, so practically ran to Zara Manchester and bagged the last one! And I was right, it's beautiful, it fits my laptop and it goes with everything. Investment piece? I think so.
