Sunglasses


So I picked the gloomiest, least sunny day to shoot this - clever! 

Sunglasses are definitely an essential for summer and finding the right pair at the right price can sometimes be difficult. Personally, I struggle with two things with sunglasses: 1) finding a pair that stay on my head 2) keeping a pair and keeping them unbroken for more than one summer. 

Pink round sunglasses: Asos
Pink/ orange metal frame sunglasses: Topshop
Subtle cat eye sunglasses: Topshop

When looking for a pair of sunglasses, I usually hit the high street. Purely because they're reasonably priced but also because it means I won't cry if I lose them or break them (I usually do). Topshop are brilliant for sunglasses, they have a huge range of different styles, colours and shapes so I would definitely recommend their range this year. The pink/ orange metal pair, I purchased for £15 from Topshop. I like them because they're relatively subtle in terms of the translucent plastic frame and the thin metal sides. The only issue I have found with this pair of sunglasses is the fact that because of the 'awkward' colour, they can be difficult to match with an outfit- this is what I've discovered. They don't fit my head particularly well, they do have a tendency to slide around slightly however I think that may be and issue with relatively inexpensive sunglasses - a quality issue which you wouldn't experience with a designer pair. I have worn these a handful of times and I do think they're very sweet! 

The pink plastic Asos pair of sunglasses are great. I bought them last year for around £12, I can't quite remember and I still have them - indestructible haha!! Because they're round and quite bold I think they're the perfect pair of sunglasses for going to festivals or fairs etc because they are SO funky. They fit me really well and look really great with an all-pink or white outfit. I would highly recommend having a browse on Asos' website for sunglasses. 

The final pair of sunglassses that I wanted to share with you are also from Topshop. They were priced at £16. They are 100% my 'go to' pair of sunglasses because they match with everything and fit my pea-head really really well. The subtle cat eye means that they look super stylish but aren't too flamboyant which I love about them. Because of the colour, you can wear them with just about anything and the plastic frame, I find, means they feel a lot tighter and more secure on my head! The best thing about topshop's glasses, of course, is the fact you get agree sunglasses case with each pair you purchase - super handy! 

See you soon ! X

| Festival / Holiday Look No.1 | 20/06/17 |

HELLO HELLO! So this is going to be a little 'saga' of looks I've selected that I think would be super appropriate for your summer holidays, or equally just as good as a festival outfit. I am aiming to make them as realistic as possible, in the sense that each outfit is something that I would actually wear on holiday, and also so that each look is relatively affordable and could incorporate items you already have hidden in your wardrobe, alongside more trend-based pieces. Hopefully, this will be a success and may inspire you while planning your own holiday outfits. I don't know about you guys, but I find it ever so tedious trying to plan holiday outfits, so I feel like this would help me! Lastly, I am going away soon myself, so I am hoping to use these blog posts to document outfit ideas that I will be able to wear myself! ENJOY. - OUTFIT - Top:  Pretty Little Thing Skirt:  ASOS Sunglasses:  Spitfire Earrings:  ASOS Espadrilles:  ASOS...

| The Truth About Student Life | 20/02/18 |

M O R N I N G  I almost feel like I've forgotten how to write a blog post, so the format of this post might be a bit 'up in the air'. Therefore, before I delve into things, here's a quick disclaimer... On the 26th December, I uploaded a blog post surrounding the topic of social media, and the influence I feel it has on the mental health of its users. Since then, I have been absent from this blog, and largely absent from social media in general, because I feel as though I've had nothing worth saying recently. I would much rather only upload when I am bringing a little something useful to the internet that even if only one person found it interesting, it would at least have a purpose.  This leads swiftly on to the subject of this post. Student life, and the truth about how it feels to experience daily life as a young adult, studying at University. I promise to not sugar coat the finer details, and to accurately portray the common notions of being a student...

- Double Denim Double Trouble -

- OUTFIT - Sunglasses: Jeepers Peepers Choker: Asos, Reclaimed Vintage Vest Top: Topshop Denim Jacket: Asos Jeans: Asos Loafers: Asos What better time is there to blog than at 12:30am, with a (still) raging hangover from last night's antics and the looming thought of waking up to my siren-resembling iPhone alarm at 9am, to get up and ready for another studious week of university? Exactly, now is the perfect time. P.S I am fully aware 9am isn't early, but it is for me:):):) This little ensemble pretty adequately sums up my summer attire this year, as each of these items have been worn about 336+ times already and are continuing to do so through the coming colder months. Although, my trusty loafers are not particularly tights/socks friendly (or weather resistant) so I'm feeling these tapestry gems might have to take a back seat until spring. ... 12:58am - Eyes just about remaining open. Also forgot about my cup of tea, shit. I feel a...
