What I Wore :






Top : Charity Shop / Debenhams
Jeans : Urban Outfitters
Boots : Vagabond

I imposed a no-spending ban on myself to try and save a bit of money while I'm still at uni. Then I went charity shopping and told myself that it didn't count because it's cheap. And then I totally relapsed and bought a pair of ASOS boots and the most beautiful leather jacket from Zara. Oops. Well, I tried.

This tee is from a charity shop and cost me all of £3. I love that its short sleeved yet still has a turtleneck, because turtlenecks should be worn all of the time IMO. Also, I'm literally obsessed with flares, they literally go with everything and give a totally different dimension to any outfit you'd usually pair with skinnies...

What I Wore :




Shirt : GAP
Jumper : Zara
Jeans & Boots : ASOS

The only white wall in my entire house has shite lighting. And as the world's most uncomfortable photo subject this leads to major stopping at my boyfriend. My bad.

I'm currently in the midst of writing my 10,000 word case study for uni, so I'm spending most of my time ignoring it and dressing up and going out for meals. Also my bad.

Travel : Brussels & Bruges













I feel like I'm on Myspace again, documenting my holidays. This is just a few of the maaany photos from Brussels and Bruges just my boyfriend and myself visited the weekend before Christmas, and so they mainly consist of Christmas markets, Christmas trees and an awfully strange Christmas nativity parade (red jacketed marching band). Belgium is such a beautiful country and I'm so happy we managed to squeeze in travelling to Bruges for the day, even if it was full of tourists (ourselves included)... 

My favourite places are as follows... The botanical gardens which featured in my first outfit post, with incredible turquoise statues lining the pathways. 

A little gem of a record shop that stocked everything you could ever imagine. We picked up a 'Petite Surprise' package of 7" lps for 2 euros - which was a little Christmas present to ourselves! 

Grand Place, the obvious tourist destination. Each evening, every half hour or so, orchestral music starts booming around the square while a spectacular light show lights up each magnificently grand building. Seriously breath taking. 

St Catherine's Christmas markets are also a must see - there's so many stalls to see and so much gluhwein to drink!

Four days was pretty much the perfect length of time for a 'weekend break', enough time to see all the sights, find a favourite café and actually have a break from real life! I'm off to Egypt tomorrow for an all-inclusive week of writing my dissertation and lying by the pool. I'm excited to escape the freezing English climate, although it means I need to try and remember how to dress for hot weather...
