Cambridge Satchel






This is such a random post, before work today I was bored so I decided to pair a random outfit together and take some outfit photos in the garden. I love my new cambridge satchel I just throw it on with any outfit, if it actually goes obviously. I love this skirt but I bought it from Primark the other day and it was an 8, although it said on the coat hanger it was a 6, but I wasn't too sure about it anyway because it doesn't really suit me so I'm debating whether to take it back, although I really like the slit in it. And, I was looking through my drawers and came across this hat I bought like 2 year ago to go to London, so I decided to shove this on, along with my amaaaaaazing cut out boots! Oh, and please excuse my pale legs aha, they're so pale they look bright.

My lifes been so boring lately, consisting of work and college work, I can't wait to have time off and go to New York at the end of March. I haven't been able to spend any of my money either because i'm saving up for my spending money, I'm hoping to see so many landscapes and landmarks and take hundreds of photographs and shop, obviously! It's half past midnight, I better get to sleep.

Life through Instagram



Here's a couple of collages I managed to make within about 10 minutes from Instagram. I love Instagram so much, especially to be nosy with other people and celebrities. I literally take a picture of anything then immediately upload it! I ordered a tripod from Ebay about 4 days ago, but it came the other day and no one was in to receive the post:'(. I got it redelivered in time and I didn't get home in time so I really don't know when i'll actually get it. I'm so excited to be able to use it because i'll actually be able to post outfit looks everyday and upload on my blog a lot more.

Pink Jeans







I love these Pink palm print jeans from Motel, I got them for Christmas but i've only just had chance to wear them because I planned on wearing them rolled up with white low top converse, until I was going to miss the bus so I had to shove my cutout boots on. I definitely plan to wear these in the summer because they're such a nice summer print, paired with a crop top and rolled up with my converse. I'm so excited for summer, winter was good but i'm in definite need of sun now. I'm so excited to go to New York at the end of March, not that it will be sunny, because it's going to be freezing, but just for a holiday. I'm also going to Turkey in August too, ah i'm so excited!

Tropical














I love these Tropical print jeans so much but they're definitely not worth the price and the hassle. I got them in the Nastygal sale for £37 instead of something like £77, I was so happy because i'd had my eye on these for ages. I decided to buy them but I wanted them for Christmas day but it was 2 weeks away. I was thinking about getting express delivery, but then I just got normal because it was £25, the normal delivery was £9 (rip off!). I was also hoping I wouldn't get caught by customs, then I did! £17 pounds later I eventually got my jeans after about 4 weeks of waiting, also they're big too. Which I don't understand because I got W26, surely I can't be a W25! Anyway, I got bored today so I decided to take some outfit pictures.

The last picture was of my healthy dinner yesterday. I was so proud haha, I whipped this meal up within about 3 minutes! I've never tasted avocado before and I've seen some pictures on tumblr and it looks tasty, so i'd thought to give it a try. The mackerel was so tasty too.

Palms to the sky





Ah I can't stop wearing my disco pants, I love them but they're so bright! These boots paired with them just makes an amazing outfit, I wish I had a nice coat to pair with this to layer on for the cold weather. I woke up this morning feeling like E.T, looking rough so I decided to shove my hair up in a half up half down bun. Also I've decided to wear eyeliner now and again, I actually like it because it makes my eyes look bigger than they are and I love the liquid one. Oh, and also I joined the gym on Monday, I'm so happy because i've wanted to loose this Christmas weight and tone up for so long it's been getting me down! I'm glad i've joined now, 20 minutes running on the tredmill is definitely worth a good  body haha!

Tartan & Ombre





Haha, i'm so happy its snowing! I actually love the snow and I can't wait to go sledging tonight. Today I decided to wear my tartan jeans from Topshop, with my wellies because no way I was wearing anything which would have made my feet cold. I had college and I woke up late this morning so I had to shove this ugly coat on, i've had it for ages now I hate it but it keeps me warm. I'm so happy on Sunday I went out to buy a new camera! I came home with a new Nikon D3100, it's so big and professional I love it so much! Finally, I decided to dip dye my hair ombre last week because it's kind of popping in and out of fashion and i've seen some inspiration around tumblr so I decided to buy the Loreal Ombre hair dip dye kit! P.s, sorry if my hair looks really flat on some of these pictures I was absolutely freezing I could barely move.

OOTD


At new years I was so excited to wear my new motel dress what I got for Christmas, then I found out my friend had the same dress so I had to go out and buy something new because she was working all day so she couldn't change her outfit, nightmare! Nevermind, I found a skirt which I really liked so I decided to wear that with a black crop top. I really liked the outfit I wore while i was searching for something to wear, i'm in love with my new coat and more in love with my new boots! I also really want another coat from Topshop, its fur and ombre dip dye black and grey but I don't know if it's worth spending £89 on it?! Argh.
