rosy birthday || outfit-of-the-day








jumper/topshop    socks/topshop    skirt/chicwish    lipstick/beguiled/topshop

*cue cake, banners, balloons and a very bloated birthday girl* aaaah, good ol' b-daaays! This is what I wore for my birthday dinner. I got the loveliest socks from Hannah for my birthday present, these are my personal favourite. I just adore quirky socks! Who wouldn't want cute little smiley fruits on their feet?! I think they add such a quaint touch to an outfit. My mother gifted me this dainty amber-like necklace, it makes me feel a little bit more... proper, like I should be in Mad Men or something (or is it just me? ...probably!). Also, this skirt is also my favourite skirt ever~ I love the colour (red is my absolute favourite colour to wear) and the rose texture is just so pretty. The shape makes you want to wonder into a field of flowers and spin around for hours!

côte d'azur || outfit-of-the-day




jumper/primark    denim skirt/topshop/£30    socks/topshop/£3.50    flatforms/river island


Alas! The sun in Britain has started to return! 
A fresh change of weather calls for a fresh change in wardrobe does it not? I myself have become rather weary of the blacks. Socks are a great way to transition from winter. I cannot express my love of this pair and being an avid sock fan, I love socks in general! Let me tell you - standing in front of the sock section of topshop is my heaven! I really need some more neon pairs... I absolutely adore the colour of these ones (sylvie got them me as a birthday present ^^), since I love to clash colours. A recent purchase of mine is this denim skirt and without a doubt it is now a staple in my wardrobe which leans into the much brighter and sunny side of style 
note to self: must stop biting lips!

My Shoe Collection!

So these are all the shoes I wear on a daily basis! The two main things I look for in shoes is some extra height to accompany my teeny tiny height (those extra inches make every difference!) and a colour which is versatile and easy to wear. My shoe collection isn't extensive but it is just enough to fit every occasion (except sports ^^;;).

The Script || outfit-of-the-day




waterproof coat/primark     creepers/primark/£12     charlie simpson t-shirt     shorts/primark

Sylvie and I went to see The Script recently for her birthday!
I feel as though shorts and tights is a classic combination in terms of concert wear! It keeps you warm in the hideously shivering cold outdoors yet allows you to dance away to your hearts content indoors. I keep my house keys on a key ring which I loop on my belt loop - it ensures I don't lose them! I wore my creepers because they a) gave me an inch or so in extra height (well needed when you are so short and have a large busty women blocking your view) b) are comfy and c) are cheap and easily replaced if trampled upon by crazed fangirls. The waterproof coat it very handy in keeping me warm as well as having lots of pockets so I didn't need a heafy bag to carry around and it's also very lightweight so I can easily tie it around my waist. I also wore my beloved Charlie Simpson t-shirt, band t-shirt are always the obvious choice when it comes to gigs and concerts and it's okay to wear a t-shirt of another artist as long they don't clash (Justin Bieber tee at an Arctic Monkeys gig?). Overall, it is not the most glamorous outfit, but it isn't the most glamorous affair either. I feel like practically always comes first when it comes to enjoying great music!

spring zest || nails-of-the-day




miss sporty/popcorn/£1.99      miss sporty/blue bath/£1.99      natural collection/£1.89

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





shoes/35,000/Korea    socks/topshop/3 for £8    necklace/miss selfridge/£2    headband/ebay    backpack/68,000/Korea    jumper/topshop    dress/romwe/£25

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!
