Twice In A Row

 Earrings- Topshop// Skirt, Shirt and Boots- New Look

That's right, guys, that's the second time I've dressed in an all Black & White ensemble in just a matter of a few days. I refuse to think that I'm monochrome crazy but I think it's time to fully accept that I definitely am. I picked up this lovely little striped shirt from the New Look sale for just £4 and have found it pretty hard to part with it. I'm looking forward to the Summer where I can team them up with more skirts and shorts and wave farewell to my deniers. Ta-rah to coating my little legs with those (that's if we get any sun).

What are your plans for the weekend?

Penny Lane

White Top- Zara// Dress- H&M// Shoes- ASOS

Following my recent move back to Cardiff from London, I am desperately trying to adjust back to a more simplistic lifestyle where my mornings don't start with pushing and shoving other commuters to get a seat on the tube to work. I'll be honest, I've always been someone who enjoys leaving their comfort zone and am not the biggest fan of the familiar. Although my three month internship in London is now over, I have every ambition to fully explore the lovely city of Cardiff and make the most of my time here. If you're from Cardiff or you know some haunts around the city that you can recommend, then please let me know. First things first: finding a job/career. Wish me luck.

Anyway, on to this little outfit of mine. I'd lusted over these beautiful Penny Lane shoes on ASOS for almost an hour before I decided to order them. Come on, a reduction from £45 to £13.50 AND free delivery, I'd be a fool not to, right? Although they're pretty comfortable to walk in, I have found myself almost taking a stumble a few times but I blame that on my inability to walk in heels than the design of the shoes itself. Of course I teamed the Penny Lanes with a black and white ensemble, I'm still obsessed.

Hope you're having a lovely week.

Bay

Shirt- Select// Trousers- H&M// Sandals- ASOS// Bag- Primark// Collar Chain- Everours//

How time flies! I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I opened the tiny brown envelope that contained my A level results. Scary! Well my younger brother did just that yesterday and I'm happy to say that he passed his exams with flying colours and will be going to uni from September. I'm over the moon for him, he's got one very proud sister :)
To celebrate we went for a family meal at Cosmos in Cardiff Bay. Such a delightful buffet that caters to everyone. I definitely recommend it to anyone who's visiting the Bay.
I've wanted a loose, shirt cropped top for ages and when I saw someone walking around River Island wearing one, I literally followed her around and asked her where she got it from. I couldn't resist. How amazing to think that this little beauty was only £8 from Select? Yep, you've guessed it, I marched out of River Island and dived straight into the first Select store to purchase this. Yay! 
The theme of the white trend is still very much so apparent for me, I'm afraid. I picked up this gorgeous, delicate Rosary bead-esque collar chain from Everours for just 50p. I do love a good bargain :)
Hope you like the outfit and you're enjoying what's left of the Summer. If you got your A Level results yesterday then I hope you got what you wanted/needed/deserved :) Best of luck to the next batch of freshers. Pour it up, pour it up.

PS. Sorry about my bra :(

Feline

Dress- H&M// Shoes- New Look// Collar tips- Everours // Blazer-Clothes Show (about 5 years ago) // Nails- W7 in shades 34 White and 31 Silver

Ahh white! As I'd already mentioned here, I am very much so a fan of the 'white' trend for this season. It's just too pretty and crisp (even my nails look all tippexy)! Today, I went to Tidworth to visit my lovely friend and her new born son. How adorable :) 
I bought this white dress in the H&M sale a few months ago for just £7 and love it's versatility. As I wanted to opt for a more casual look, I decided to chuck my blazer with the most beautiful lavender tone botanical print on top. After all, I still have this hideous cold but I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has wished me well. You're so sweet :)
If you follow me on instagram, you'll be pretty bored of the array of zoomed in photos that I post of collar details on my outfits haha. Yep, I have an obsession with collar tips/chains, statement necklaces, brooches, bowties etc. So when I saw these adorable cat collar tips on Everours, I knew I had to get them. Oh and did I mention that they were only £2? Amazing! Love a good bargain. Hope you like the way that I've styled them.

White

Crop Top- New Look// Shorts- River Island

Well, the weather has been absolutely delightful this week, hasn't it? I love how the sunshine immediately puts everyone in a good mood. Living in Britain for the majority of my life has meant that I always always mention the weather in my posts, sorry! Haha!
Like everyone else, I really love the 'all white' look. I'm a clumsy mess and I always manage to spill something on my clothes. How funny, I spilt some Blueberry slush puppy all over my shorts about an hour after taking these photos, at least it compliments my the embroidery, right? To perfect this look, I think it's important to keep the white as white as you possibly can get, this way the outfit gives the illusion of a crisp and fresh look- how perfect for the scorching sun.
There's still time to enter my giveaway here ! The sunglasses are so gorgeous and how perfect would they be for the lovely weather that we're having now? :) Good luck if you're entering.
Have a great week.
