Hey hey!!

I am finally back, and how I have missed you all. This month has been completely mad with uni bits, and I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I last had the chance to post. *sad face*

I'm feeling uploading posts of what I've been doing within Uni too, just because it's actually pretty cool and exciting for me. (I made my first garment the other week eek!!!)

So, as you may have noticed, it is officially Autumn now, so aside from having a dress on that my mum would describe as a belt, I thought thigh boots and socks redeemed it. Shnuggly. Wearing multiple clothes, or what fashionista's call "layering" is the best for this weather. Not sure whether it is just me or what, but as I get the tube to uni, the difference in temperature between tube, outside and uni is disgusting. Without my trusty layering, I would probably pass out, like a menopause for the 19 year old, or something less disturbing.

Anyway, I am literally seeing thigh high boots everywhere at the moment?!! Maybe it's a Kylie Jenner inspo, but I hope not. But whatev, I semi-jumped onto that bandwagon. As I don't own any of my own, I found that my mum does.. which means I now do too. The joy's of having the same size feet! This dress is that classic velvet bodycon from AA, 3/4 years old, but it is perfect. I thought i'd make it more interesting by putting this sports bra thingy underneath, and layering with various textures, like knit, jersey and shiny stuff like the coat and shoes, because I'm wild like that. And what's the point of uploading a dress without alterations that everyone has seen a million times!

If you have read previous posts, you will notice how I often mention that my hair reflects the weather in pictures. It is so orange here! I am like a walking Autumnal flower. That, with a mixture of the artistic light behind me, all I can say is I'm basically Katnis Everdeen (girl on fire.. obviously). On that note, I am SO excited for the new Hunger Games film to come out, which I think is this Thursday?! If you haven't seen them yet, watch them. They are awesome. Did I just google 'Katnis gif' for 10 minutes? Oh I might have done... you are welcome.

(me x)

Anyway, got distracted, but my personal statement awaits which really is a bundle of sunshine to write, so I'm off!! *cries*

Goodbye lovely readers,

I will really try to keep posts more often!

See ya on the flip side.

Socially Acceptable Tracksuit

Trousers - Adidas Vintage

Jumper - Mum's Wardrobe

Belt - Vintage

Fedora - H&m

Socks - Topshop

Shoes - Superstar II by Adidas

Finally got round to shooting a new Ootd, life has been seriously hectic recently so you will have to excuse my very un-made up face. But here it is, the almost socially acceptable tracksuit outfit. Probably should have ironed these trousers before I put them on, but they're that weird fabric that constantly creases so there's never much point. I found these gems when I was in Bristol in February time last year with my friend at a vintage shop thing, they're 100% silk so they feel unreal to wear and they only cost me £15. My only problem with them is how wide they are around the hips, like hammer-time trousers.. not the most flattering. Normally I would wear these with some sort of cute crop top to balance out the Kim K bum they give me but seeing as Autumn is officially here, it's too cold for that nonsense.

Which brings me onto the strange occurrence with my hair, it seems to reflect the season.. and now that the leaves are orange-y.. I'm becoming even more ginger, very odd. Not that I mind, Ariel was always my favourite Disney Princess. On the subject of hair, however much I love this hat, it doesn't hold very well unless my hair is straight which is such a shame because I really love it, so if any of you curly girlies have tips for that, they are extremely welcome here. And no, bobbie pins don't work.

My new babies were my 19th birthday pres from my parents, and they are the best. (I'm 19 how old is that?!?) Not sure why I haven't ventured to Adidas Originals before, because they are super (get it) comfy and they come in my size!!!!!! Ye the excitement is real friends, adult shoe's finally fit me. I was considering getting the suede ones, but I felt after my boks' I didn't need two green suede trainers, seemed a little excessive even if green is the best colour. I've seen a few white versions of these around but I thought I would really go wild and get the black ones, which I lav.

I still can't believe how much support blogging has got me and it is honestly the best thing I have ever decided to do with my spare time. So I thank you all for reading it and sharing it etc etc it means a lot! That's the most emotion I can produce right now, but you are all just really gr8 and know that I love every one of you who visits.

BIG LOVES

Parisian Pardy

Bonjour mes petits amis!
I am back for ma weekly post, and its time for another travel post. As you may know, if you often read my blog and caught last weeks post I spent this past weekend in Paris! It was my first time there and I honestly have never been soooo speechless at how beautiful a city can be, and how sad I am to be home. But anyway, here's a little mash-up of some of my pictures, sights I saw, what I wore, places I visited etc..
Jouir!

Duster Kimono Thingy - Primark

Vest - TK Maxx

Leggins - Berska

Boots- La Moda

Sunglasses - eBay

The Pompidou Center, Louvre, Notre Dame et al

Jeans (Hand dyed) - Asos

Vest - H&m

Boots - La Moda

Bastille Food Markets

Some loved the attention of the camera..

Various Street 'entertainment'

And the best bit, the food..

To conclude, I am supremely fat since my return and really quite sad! But it has definitely been checked off my list of places to visit and I tried my first (and second and third) souffle so the bucket list is going well. The only person I kissed in front of the Eiffel Tower was my mum and my main romances were with the crazy recorder player in the Bastille market and a man who asked me to join in a Parisian dance.. but hey, you can't have everything!

Merci et au revoir!!

Baisers
