  • Shake it out | Florence + the Machine

    When Uni work, actual work, placement searching, interviews, NaNoWriMo and general life becomes a little too much, I take comfort in the fact that a song can really calm me down and cheer me up.

    ‘Shake it out’ is the second single from Florence + the Machine’s newest album, Ceremonials [which is amazing btw!] and I’ve had it on repeat when I’m feeling a little stressed out. Not only a great song but how beautiful is the music video?

    All the ethereal dresses, Venetian masks and classic chic interiors all scream ‘Florence + the Machine’ I love it!

    Wishlist Item | Printed t-shirts

    I’m such a sucker for a printed t-shirt. They’re so simple, they go with everything and when they’re as cool as these why not have 20 in your wardrobe?! These are some of my favourites from dELiAs, but there are a tonne more on the website. I’m seriously considering buying the Hogwarts and Zoolander ones, but that’s just me :)  

    P.S. This post is dedicated to my little sister, also a big fan of nerdy printed t-shirts ;)  Happy 12th Birthday!

  • Wishlist Item | Halloween edition

    As Halloween just around the corner, I’m sure many of you guys will be rooting through cupboards, raiding charity shops and hitting the high street for cheap costume pieces. But what if you could splash the cash and go all out chic for the holidays?

    Below are some go-to traditional Halloween outfit ideas, the difference is in the price tag…

    This witch costume is a mix between high street Adams and a punk rocker. The embroidery on the arms of the dress are so pretty, I chose minimal jewellery that fits with the spooky theme.

    Dressing like a Devil doesn’t mean dressing in latex, for this Devil costume I went for contrasting textures and, quite literally, eye-popping accessories that will look hot in hell.

    On the opposite side of the spectrum, I’ve chosen to channel my inner white swan for this high street Halloween costume. With an already , dress, the accessorises either needed to blend or stand out. As it’s Halloween they’re standing out and are completely over the top!
