london || PHOTO DIARY

A few of my friends (Sylvie, Nick, Charlie and Katie) and I hopped off into London for a short trip!

1. The first stop was Oxford Street and anyone who knows me knows I love socks so I always end up drooling in front of every Topshop sock display.

2. On the second day we decided to be all cultured and visit the Natural History Museum. I was craving waffles like a rabid rabbit so I got this awesome looking cookies'n'cream one as we waited outside in the freezing snow (look at the joy on Charlie and Nick's faces!).

'naaarrhhhgh' - that's supposed to be a whale noise...

3. Next, I needed my hit of BUBBLE TEA. Honestly, I cannot live with the stuff. I also get the rest of the gang to get just as obsessed.

4. My favourite spot of the whole trip was at Camden, probably just because of Rokit and the wonderful array of vintage clothing~ I ended up buying a really nice denim jacket for £30!

5. We walked over to Embankment Pier where you could see the London Eye, Big Ben and all that fun touristy stuffs and ended up heading to Trafalgar Square. 

I felt a bit like God sat on Nelson's Column and watching over this view *-*

6. Then off to meet the Queen... kinda! We ended up walking all the way to Buckingham Palace surprisingly!

7. Last stop was for some bubble tea (of course) across Piccadilly Circus and into China Town. 

I had an awesome three days with my friends. London is one of the iconic cities so it's good to walk around there and just to think you are living thousands of peoples dreams just being in the city. No doubt many of you have and will visit, you'll have to tell me about it! ^___~ 

rosy birthday || outfit-of-the-day

*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!

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

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!

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!).
