Oh Girls they wanna have fun



I haven't worn jeans in ages & to be honest I need new ones as these are a little old & too big but they do for my day of uni work.

I love leopard print, could be one of my favourite prints...

I just wore my H&M blazer with this seen as it was a nice day & some plain black River Island pumps

Ruffles & Daisy Dukes


Not a very exciting or well photographed outfit but it is pretty simple & I'm sure you get the jist of it!

I don't know why I felt the need to pull silly faces either...

Could this be the start of something



As I mentioned last week I joined the gym & went today for my first workout. It was good, I really enjoyed it. I was a little apprehensive about it before I went but it was totally fine & now I feel really energized if a little sore!

Felt good doing something for me, I actually found it relaxing - weird.


I used to be a really big reader but have fallen put of that habit lately, I really want to get back into it so I went & bought myself three lovely new books. I've always wanted to read 'Pride & Prejudice' -Mr Darcy is a dream boat & 'Emma' simply because I loved the film & a book named after yourself is never a bad thing.


Plus the covers were pretty...


I, also, purchased myself a new handbag. It was only £12 in Tesco & is the perfect size for everyday use. Bargain. Might do a what's in my bag video. Thoughts?

You're like rock'n'roll & champagne all in one


I have been thinking of ways to wear my lovely new Dorothy Perkins shoes, pictured below, I think they would look nice with some leggings, a floaty top & a blazer - keeping everything really plain and simple allowing the shoes to be the stars of the show!

I took inspiration from the ever fashionable Olivia Palermo & think it could be a really pretty look.


I think some wet look leggings would add a bit of an edge to the look rather than just simple cotton leggings.




Any other ideas on how I can wear the shoes? x

Times they are a changing


I know I've said this before but I am back. I am feeling in a much more positive place & feel like I am making positive steps in my life (sounds cheesy ha)

Last week I joined the gym, just for fitness really & for something for myself so of course I had to go and get myself a tankini - I thought about a bikini but maybe when I'm a little more confident until then I got this lovely blue Marks & Spencers number which I feel has a little bit of a vintage inspired style. Cannot wait to get back into swimming.

I had planned on going today but I'm not feeling too great so I am putting it off until later tonight or tomorrow - excuses...





I also got these bad boys for the gym & classes. They weren't too expensive & will do the job. They have loads of classes, at the moment I am thinking legs, bums & tums, body combat & maybe some yoga. Any suggestions please let me know!

I have also decided that I have too many cosmetics, beauty products etc so I have put my trainers shoe box to use. This will now become the home of used up products. I started last night & am at a grand total of one! It is a start.


Finally, I would like to introduce you all to my new love...

purchase for me by my lovely mother from Dorothy Perkins. They are what can only be described as gorgeous. Very high but look amazing on & will know doubt see a lot of wear.




I've update my 50 facts page, if you fancy having a wee look-see.

Next post is going to be my latest fashion obsession for spring. Hope you're all well x

Welcome back


Long time no post, my apologies not really sure what happened life took over I guess & I had lost the blogging bug I suppose. Do you ever get the feeling that you've lost who you are/were, I felt like that for ages then suddenly I realised I shouldn't be changing who or what I am for someone else especially if it makes me unhappy. Basically, I am in a happy place right now which is never a bad thing!

Celebrity look of the week this week is Olivia Palermo.

I've always been a massive fan of Olivia's style - she is effortlessly chic & has amazing taste, she didn't come off amazingly well in The City but I'd swap being 'popular' for her wardrobe anyday, how shallow.


To me this look is very 70s inspired but with a contemporary twist. I love the fact that wide leg trousers are making a come back - good news for us with the bootays, teamed with some killer wedges or heels it is just a favourite look of mine.

I have also updated my 50 Facts page, I will do it more regularly. Promise!
