    What I wore: Denim shirt [H&M], T-shirt [Primark], Jeggings [New Look], Boots [M&S], Necklace [Accessorize]
    – Hoisin noodles from Tesco – Pouring over Company magazine, with Jessie J on the cover – Looking longingly all of the festival fashion in it – Loving & living in my print New Look shirt – Sunday morning pancakes – Exam stress = comfort clothing, practically living in my vintage cardi from Camden – Revision ¬_¬ – Exams finish & the sandals come out! – Getting into the ‘Make Do & Mend’ spirit & sorting out clothes that are falling apart – Workwear purchases: blazer & pink top from New Look, long sleeved shirt from TK Maxx – Denim shirt from New Look – Sunshine & 27 degree heat means BBQs!! – 


    Ok so maybe not a week update and that outfit is about 2 weeks old but it’s been pretty hectic. I’ve been wrapping up Uni and heading to interviews and getting stressed over exams, which finished last Tuesday. I’ve technically finished 2nd year but am still on a last push for placement places, no luck yet =( so it’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be starting my final year at Uni come October (scary stuff). 
    In other news the UK seems to be in a May heatwave and since finishing exams it’s been nice to actually enjoy the sunshine for once. Plus getting away from blogging for a little bit has actually been nice, a bit of a mini holiday if you will. Now that I’m back I’ll hopefully be updating a little more regularly and the MTV Movie Awards are on next Sunday! Wahey! Also fingers crossed I’ll get a phone upgrade on Tuesday so I can finally get on Instagram and a decent phone to keep all my social network bits up to date :)
    Looking to possibly updating layouts and doing a decent blog clean up this Summer. I’m currently at 90 followers so anyone wanna bump me up to 100? Maybe a giveaway could be in store if I hit that?! ;)

    Keep on wishing…

    It’s been a relaxing weekend but it’ll definitely be back to work, revision and placement applications etc  in the morning!

  • Camden Calling

    What I wore: Military shirt & vest top [New Look], Leggings [Primark], Sneakers [Lonsdale], Rings [assorted from TopShop & H&M]
    Yesterday I headed to Camden with a friend of mine. I’d forgotten how long it had been since I last visited and it was really nice to spend a sunny afternoon trawling the market stalls, eating delicious Chinese food by the lock and fawning over pretty jewellery. 

    – Sunshine whilst eating lunch by Camden Lock – Some of the market stalls – Cool earrings, necklaces & rings made out of old computer chips – a kinda foreboding photo of the Horse Tunnel Market lol – Me & my friend Roushie, who I spent the day with – 

    I picked up some two rings by Dirty Dolly Jewellery for £6 and a vintage 80’s cardigan from the Horse Tunnel Market for £20. I very nearly got a pretty vintage dark green playsuit, which I was going to turn into a dress, but my haggling skills pretty much sucked and I didn’t have enough money for the price they were asking. Damn…lol

    All in all I had a pretty good day out, I definitely want to make a habit of heading down to Camden more often! Love it down there!
