Street life - Student life

Life's all a bit over the shop at the moment. I don't really know what's happening but I'm just making the most of trying to enjoy the nice bits of weather we're having and my last few weeks at The Cottage with Hannah. We've been yolo'n a bit and just enjoying things when we can.

Now, these trousers are a bit of a issue. It's a love hate relationship. I love the style and trackie-ness BUT, I wish they were high waisted. They would be so much more amazing and a much more prominent piece to my wardrobe. However, they are not. So I have to improvise and find myself taking them off after a few hours. I shall continue to persevere... Or maybe I'll just start looking for a high waisted pair to fully satisfy my needs. 

At the rate I'm going, I am literally going to turn orange. But I love this little top, I've been eyeing it up for weeks and the Easter Bunny (aka Mother & Father D) got it for me along with a hugeeeeee bunny (chocolate of course).

West End Girl

I need sectioning, it's official. Or I need my bank card confiscated, one of the two.  This week I have gone crazy, what with my last ever student loan and grant hitting my bank account and everywhere seeming to be jumping on that with discounts for students, its SO hard to resist.   Or not to resist in my case. 

A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do though and when River Island presents itself with a 20% off opportunity you have to seize life by the horns and frantically buy anything your little heart desires!!

To be fair I have been wanting a proper pair of high-waisted 80s style jeans for ages now. I keep mentally making outfits in my head revolving around them, until now! R.I's 'mom' jeans are da bomb! Sadly, theres no knee rips going on but, give it a few months and I'm sure I'll be reinventing these bad boys. For now, I'm off to the 80's.

Let the She Wolf see the Beach!

I think the last post, 100%, jinxed the weather. Deepest apologise. But wowah, Was it a chilly start to this morning! It's days like this, that beautiful backdrop we use for our posts, is a total female dog and the icy sting is certainly NOT your friend on a Monday morning. Just saying....

So it was a wrap up in my hug-a-mug beast kind of day today and embrace the sun attempting to escape the prison of clouds overhead. Looking back, I'm not sure how much of a fan I am of my shape in this look, I'm feeling a bit Kim K in the hip department, but I like to think that I am all Woman now. (This only satisfies my inner sadness until I reach tea and chocolate)

There's not much more to say at the moment other than I'm drinking tea, eating apple crumble and most certainly avoiding my Dissertation once again. However, I am also in deep thought of what to wear for my next post as there are still items unseen from Christmas! Sorry guys 

And Many thanks once again to Hannah Byrne for the photography!

Hey now, Rockstar (allstar) yeahh.

I've been slacking, I'm sorry. I really am.  Life is just one big jumble at the minute and I'm afraid that the blog has taken a backseat. I tend to find this my happy place and I am slowly coming back. 

This post was shot last week and I just haven't got around to uploading it. But I've been wanting a new pair of converse for ages, and these little lovelies are what my parents brought me back from DC back in October. They haven't had much wear as the weather's been a little crabby but, on this day. Hello, Sunshineee. It was time they made an appearance! 

I apologise for laid back, iffy look but, hey. I was in a casual mode.

Bonjour!!

Bonjour from across the pond!!

I type this to you in my boyfriends new home for a year in the South of France! Toulouse, to be exact.

We arrived on Wednesday to settle Fray in for his new adventure at Airbus and it has been a crazayy few days. However, we've got over the worst bit of having no tea for two days and no fridge so onwards and upwards now.

Finally we got chance to have a touristy moment yesterday afternoon and wondered around, with me of course spending a little, not much changes even when I leave the country clearly. Anyway, what better time to do a little outfit post..

Qui?

 

Outfit Details:

Sunglasses: Christian Lacroix, in Tk Maxx

Necklace: H&M

Bag: Aldo

Top: H&M

Kimono: Ebay (then DIY'ed, removed the sleeves)

Belt: Next

Skirt: Topshop

(excuse the bare-footedness, my flipflop's were not a friendly choice for wandering around)

Au revoir (for now)!

Throwback Thursday to the max!

So, my throw back is a true statement. Yesterday I delved back in time to the 1980s and attempted to rock it. This entailed a rather nice bargain beauty from Choice (company sister to Next)  and yay for bargains! 

I'm getting a little obsessed with matching two pieces and there are some fab ones out and about. This one was originally £50 for the jacket and £30 for the trousers, in total in Choice I paid £29.00!!!!!!!! 

So here it is a little funky 80s vibe (albeit before my birth... But the chiffon loveliness is totes gorge)
