spring zest || nails-of-the-day

I'm not going to go into 'long time no see's or 'sorry, I've not blogged in a while!'. I clearly am terrible in frequent posting and unfortunately, I don't think my lazy teenage ways will change anytime soon... but the good news is spring and slight sunshine is starting to burst though the gloomy English evenings~ so here is a nice uplifting nail 'art' just to reflect the loveliness of spring which you can recreate with a handful of nail varnishes, a toothpick and steady hand.
Also, you may notice some changes to my blog. It is still a work in progress, but hopefully you like it. It feels like a new fresh canvas waiting to be splashed with a bunch of vibrant paints (aka. blog posts!).

retro green || outfit-of-the-day




dress/romwe   watch/korea   bracelet/miss selfridge   necklace/miss selfridge   jumper/topshop

basically a kind of reiteration of my last outfit post, it's more or less the same thing! the whole thing kind of looks odd... but lets just call it 'quirky' okay?! :D actually, looking back I wonder why on Earth I put this on but this dress has been a life saver, my all time favourite dress and such a transitional piece from summer to winter~

psychedelic pastels || outfit-of-the-day

here features my current favourite dress and shoes. the shoe are kind of 'creeper' style but I've not seen any quite like these, it's very love or hate (but I LOVE them to bits!) but they are so cute paired with (some of my many) socks! they add instant edgy-ness to an outfit. Also, there are quite a lot of studs here... I like studs a lot but like the ombre trend it's too popular, yet I can't help but gravitate towards them. oh and thanks to Sylvie for taking the photos (waaay better than my other photos taken with various DIY tripods I have to say!) and for the title of this blog as she has been pushing me to post this for so long but I just couldn't come up with a name. Haha!

Grunge Festival || outfit-of-the-day


necklace/miss selfrige/sale£2   demin shirt/primark/£10   skirt/h&m/sale£7






this is what I'd say I'd wear to a festival! The 'Boston' top was actually past down to me by my sister, I don't know why but I've always loved it (it was a change from her chavvy pants!) it reminded me of Peyton from One Tree Hill. & I wore a bunch of old bracelets I found from a well needed clean up of my room. I paired it with this skirt from H&M (that I found sprawled at the back of my wardrobe) I actually got for £2 with a £5 voucher! I don't own a skirt which isn't 'poofed' out so it's a change, I like how it doesn't really fit in with the whole outfit because it is quite formal looking. Also threw on a pair of very laddered sheer dotted tights.
So, basically most of this outfit is just made up of a bunch of old forgotten pieces of my wardrobe! I actually safety pinned the denim shirt on either side to give it texture, because to me festival fashion has a lot of different textures to it rather than just some boring flat outfit. & these boots *sigh* they are my go-to-shoes, I LIVE off these boots, as long as I have a pair of biker boots I will never need any other shoes ~ they are so comfy and stylish. I would happily be able to walk around in these for hours.

& also! new larger photos, I don't know if I like it more or less but.. we shall seeee!

blue skies and powdered primroses

necklace/£6.99/h&m


I hope you don't mind the new setting.. if you look through my other pictures they seemed very whited out and I felt the lighting here was better, so sorry that the background isn't as clean and blank. i apologize that i look extremely moody too! oh dear..


I am well and truly in love with this outfit! it's probably my ALL TIME favourite! I just love the almost neon pastely sky blue jumper in combination to the powder pink dress and finished off with a gold necklace. it's so.. topshop-y! hence why I am holding topshops magazine which matches the colour scheme of my outfit. hope you're enjoying your Easter holidays guys!
