What I Wore :












Shirt Dress : Monki
Necklace : Urban Outfitters
Boots : Vagabond

This dress is possibly my favourite dress I've ever bought. Not only is it created from a luxurious soft cotton that gives it a COS type feel, it's perfectly oversized to the point of 'oh don't mind me in this shirt of my boyfriend's I just happened to throw on this morning!' It's funny thinking about how my style has evolved since starting uni four years ago. I used to think that Levi denim shorts, tights and trainers would be my signature look for life. I also thought my Victoria Beckham inspired 'pob' was the be all and end all of haircuts. Oh how things change!

March Playlist :


Young Fathers - DEAD
When these guys won the Mecury award I wasn't too sure. I don't think I'd listened to them before then and was kind of miffed that FKA Twigs had missed out on it. Having said that, I'm now kicking myself, waiting for their new album to drop. This album from last year is a beaut, and every single song speaks for itself and isn't overshadowed by another. Keeping my fingers crossed they'll be announced on the Glastonbury line-up!


Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
I've been waitinggg for this album for what seems like forever and it certainly doesn't disappoint! It's a shame it leaked early and it's also a shame that it's not going to be released on vinyl, but I guess it doesn't matter when the album is soOo good.


Raury - Indigo Child
This guy is my Spotify find of the month. I've never heard him before scrolling through this week's New to Spotify... This six song album is just brilliant and 'God's Whisper' is the track you should all go listen to riiight now...


Rag'n'Bone Man - Wolves
I went a Rag'n'Bone Man gig last weekend at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. I've been to a lotttt of gigs in my time, but somehow that was the first at that venue and we ended up stood next to Bipolar Sunshine all night! The gig was bloody brilliant and I've got a lot of time for his soulful voice, so I've had this album on repeat since!

What have you lot been listening to over the last month?

What I Wore :










Jumper : Monki
Jeans : ASOS
Jewellery : Primark
Trainers : Adidas

So I'm off home for my final ever Easter holidays today - eek! I won't be posting as many outfits over the next couple of weeks, but I'll try and think of something to keep myself entertained!

Speaking of entertainment, I just bought myself a load of things to start embroidering. I decided that I definitely need a hobby to stop myself becoming bored and restless and doing f all with my life! I keep finding amazing embroiderers on Instagram and falling in love with the idea of creating a wall full of hoops with cool artwork inside. We'll see how that goes, and how long I can keep motivation up for...

What I Wore :









Shirt : Pop Boutique
Jeans : ASOS
Shoes : Vagabond
Jewellery : H&M

I forgot I had this shirt, until my housemate returned it to me the other day after having borrowed it for a party about two years ago. To be quite honest I think this is the first time I've even worn it myself... The collar is a bit too big for my liking, but that can be ignored in favour of the gingham print and the oversized fit! I also really like the western embroidery detail on the shoulders which I don't think I've noticed before.

It feels weird that it's nearly Easter and that in about 8 weeks time I will have handed in my last part of my final project and my time at university will be over. I still haven't figured out how I feel about that. Part of me is so excited to grow up and do things like travel and get a job that lets me buy things from ASOS on the regular, but another part of me is totally depressed that arguably the best four years of my life are over... Deep.

What I Wore :









Jumper : Primark
Top : Topshop
Riding Pants : American Apparel
Boots : Vagabond

I've literally had the busiest weekend of my life. Since friday, I've been to three gigs, eaten at four different cafes/restaurants and taken six train journeys. Not only have I been non-stop, I'm now even more skint than before. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can earn money whilst in bed watching Netflix, it'd be highly appreciated. To add to my money woes, I bought an Olympus 35mm camera for £2 from a charity shop the other day, and I've used up two rolls of film already. So yeah, that's gonna be at least a tenner to develop! It seems the more skint I am, the more money I spend. How that works, I have no idea... 

I've always loved disposable style photographs and the ease of point-and-shoot photography might encourage me to take photos more regularly. Depending on how well these two films develop, I might even feature a few on here!
