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!

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!

Fringe X Leather

White Shirt - Topshop | Fringe Leather Skirt - Topshop | Contrast Boots - Topshop | Sunglasses - ASOS

Wow, you know sometimes you don't realise that you might have a shopping problem when nearly every bit of your outfit is from Topshop... Yeah that. I love fringe this season, I own two very different fringe skirts which I adore and I am queen of not wearing colour and this is a perfect example of me doing that. 

Today, I submitted my last ever piece of coursework so I really really done with university education now! Unless I have managed to fail my exams again... But we shall see! So now I am preparing for Parklife this weekend and then Venice the weekend after :D so if anyone has any tips or top places to see in Venice please comment below

At the Bath House

Wide Leg Trousers - H&M | Jumper - Oh My Love by Topshop | Pumas - Schuh

The wide leg trouser trend is one I've wanted to dip my toe into for a while, but always felt they overpowered my tiny frame and made it look like I'd escaped from the circus... After trying various pieces with these black satin pair, I decided the best way to broach the trend was to stick to what I know best, monochrome by using black and white to set the trousers off. The trainers make the whole outfit look like a bit more chilled, but it could be easily paired with a pair of barely there heels for an evening look, I might need to get them shortened though...

In other news, for those who don't follow my Twitter page, this week I announced my new radio show which will be started next Saturday at 7pm on W!ZARD Radio, presenting a girls sleepover type show focusing on fashion, beauty and gossip. This came about due to my blog work so I can only thank the people who read my posts for supporting me, and hopefully a few of you might tune in, there's opportunity to win amazing prizes too! I am amazingly grateful for what this blog has brought me and the happiness it gives me.

Mini ASOS/Topshop Haul

Platforms, Rings, Grey Jumper, Camel Jumper - ASOS

Platformed Mules - Topshop

So I realised that I haven't done a haul in forever which is strange as I'm constantly buying even though I'm meant to be a poor poor student, thank Mary and Joseph for my job to keep my ASOS addiction going.

Here's a few pieces I picked up in the last week, as winter has well and truly hit us up in the North, I stocked up on some warm jumpers for those days where I have 9am classes and really can't handle putting thought into my outfits. The grey one was a random find on ASOS, made of bonded fabric for the body then a light cotton for the sleeves, giving the whole piece a really interesting and warm look! The other jumper is a classic roll neck in camel, as I love camel too much right now. My favourite pairing is camel on camel which I think looks so classic and simple.

With the mid-season sales hitting the stores, I couldn't resist purchasing two new pairs of platforms. Platforms are my favourite type of shoe, being only a tiny 5"2 girl. The weaved pair from ASOS are very similar to the Stella McCartney leather versions very popular this season. I wore these on Friday and wow, those platforms are heavy. But I adore them. The other pair are from Topshop, but this time they are muled loafers. I love mules, they don't hurt my feet and they look so different to any other shoe. I don't own any silver shoes, so its a nice change to my monochrome wardrobe.

Lastly, I stocked up on loads of new gold rings, that I can wear in so many different combinations. My favourite of the bunch being, the double pearl ring as its very easy to wear.

What do you think of my buys?

Ribbed Jumper - Oh My Love | High Waisted Jeans - New Look | Pointed Heels - ASOS

Hey guys, winter has well and truly hit the UK by storm today, which I see as a blessing as I can finally LAYER UP. Not that I don't love having bare legs and wearing my skirts all day long, there's nothing better than snuggling up in a million and one layers. This jumper was a Christmas sale buy from Topshop, I've never owned anything from Oh My Love before but I have to say, the zipped elbows and the ribbed knit, it certainly makes my top ten jumpers. 

Paired with my favourite jeans and the jazziest shoes I'll possibly ever own, this outfit is October ready! You may have also noticed, my hair is noticeably lighter/whiter/bigger as this weekend I gave in to my demons and attempted to achieve white hair goodness. A few purple shampoo treatments, and I should be there!

Shoes are a Girls Best Friend

Mule Loafers - Topshop | Leather Pointed Boots - ASOS | Black Boots - ASOS

Gola Trainers - ASOS | Croc Snakeskin Flatform - Topshop

So you must know by now that I really like shoes. Shiny, patent, boots, trainers, loafers. Basically I have a massive shoe addiction, which became really apparent when I had to choose which ones to take to uni! Not that stops me from making a shoe wishlist...

I mostly buy my shoes from ASOS (surprise) and Topshop and their footwear are on form this Autumn/Winter. I love any mule type shoe and these silver mule loafers are like my dream shoe combo, and what could be better than a shoe that doesn't rub your ankle?! As Winter is kicking in, I obviously need another pair of boots... These two are my top picks, pointed shoes are the best and so so flattering to any outfit, they elongate legs and everything. I love leather but there's something about the ponte material with the snakeskin tips that makes me really happy. Trainers are still super in and fit so well with the 90's normcore trend and these Gola ones are very similar to the Adidas Stan Smith's, but for only £20! Lastly, these Topshop flatforms are SO similar to the Stella MacCartney flatforms, but for a bargain £35, how can I refuse?!

What shoes are you feeling this A/W?

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?
