I took a break from revision today to have a walk round with my sister. This is the first time I've worn my denim cut-off shorts, and I have to say I like them a lot! I really want a light coloured pair too and I might customize them with studs. I don't own many t-shirts because to be honest, they don't really go with the clothes I wear. I found this batman one in Topshop about a year ago and its actually from a pajama set believe it or not! You can't tell though right?
I didn't think my Pretty Little Liars obsession could get any bigger, but over these past few days I've discovered that I can watch new episodes online. Its actually beginning to take over my life! I loooooove it. Plus I've been catching up on Jersey Shore, Hellcats and Kourtney & Kim Take New York... I just can't get enough.

I feel so summery today. I wore this outfit with black tights at college but I couldn't wait to take them off when I got home cos it was so warm :) Can't believe its only March.

Everything at the moment seems to be exams, revision and pressure to succeed. Its stressful! I don't really have a life at the moment with all the revising I seem to be doing, lets hope it pays off! In May/June I have three Maths exams, two Business & Economics, one German and one English. Plus I have eight pages of my German oral to learn by Monday.. nightmare!

I bought this skirt a few months ago from a vintage shop in Middlesbrough. I've been wanting to wear it for a while so I thought why not when the sun was out today. I love the pleated detail, the floral pattern and the midi length which has a perfect '70s vibe for SS11. I'm pretty excited to wear cute little socks this my loafers and brogues again soon, definetly one of my favourite looks.

What a gorgeous day it is today! I woke up with the sun shining brightly on my face and I just felt instantly happy. I love spring time.

Its been a busy week! I started my revision for my summer exams, I was one of the 'official Red Nose Day' girls at college and I took part (and got a date ha!) in our college version of Take Me Out. I thought of the idea to do a college Take Me Out a few weeks ago but I didn't think it would actually happen. My friends mainly orgainised it because I wanted to take part. It was hilarious!

Here's an outfit I wore a few days ago but didn't get the chance to blog it, so I thought I'd wear it again today. I only have a few things from my Mum's wardrobe but I love them all! This skirt is the perfect midi length for this season and I adore it, plus I've stolen my Mum's cardigan again, so cosy! I've just noticed how I wear my tan belt in almost every outfit post... ooops!

I was in town with my best friends Jodi and Rose on Tuesday for Cafe Club (we go into town every Tuesday after college and go for tea and cake in a different cafe) when i spotted my bowler hat! I was so excited you have no idea, I've been wanting one for months. And it was from this crappy little shop that sells gloves and socks and stuff, but I don't care! I love ittttt. Do you think it suits me? Lookbook here.

I'm gonna do some more revision and homework today. And I've got a few things to post that I've sold on eBay too.

Quick outfit post today! I wore this to college a few days ago and I've been outfit repeating today! I love how comfy these chinos are, my navy pair are really awkward to sit in but these are nice and stretchy :) My Mum occasionally lends me this cardigan, which i absolutely adore. Its so cosy and I love the cable knit pattern with the little flowers. I wish she'd just let me have it.

I've played tennis with my sister today and we had a really nice time. Its the first time I've played tennis this year and I can't wait for the season to start and begin playing matches again! Tennis is like my favourite hobby. I was talking to a girl in one of my classes about it yesterday and she refused to believe I played or was good at it. Because apparently I don't look 'sporty'! I was quite insulted haha!

I've got work to look forward to this weekend :| But at least I'll be earning money!

I've been finding it difficult to find time to blog lately, but I won't give up! :) I took these pictures yesterday but have only just got round to posting.

I adore this blouse. I love the colour, the ruffles, the length and I just feel like it kinda suits me. I never usually even go into Dorothy Perkins but when I was in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago the shop was so nice! So many peter pan colours and gorgeous SS11 clothing. Plus I can use my student card there for 10% off which is always a bonus. :)
I'm still yearning for my bowler hat. I found a perfect one ASOS but I'm kinda just scared it won't suit me and stuff. I suppose I could return it anyway. hmmm
This week I've been featured as a blogger on StyleClone which is a wonderful website about fashion and celebrities which also features blogger. I was so chuffed that the lovely girls did a feature on me, so I'd like to thank them a lot :) Check it out here! Also for more style tips check out StyleClone now!
I got my first modual exam results for maths and business & economics today, and I'm really happy with how I've done. I'm going to resit both exams again because I might as well try to improve my grades, what have I got to lose? I must start revising for my May/June exams soon also because I want good grades.

Apologies for a very image heavy post. My sister Lindsey and I went for a walk today as the weather was so gorgeous! And we ended up taking lots of photos. I know its only just March but everything felt so summery and I actually wasn't cold in the slightest with bare arms and legs! We've had these past couple of days off, because of a gas leak at college. I ain't complaining!

I've literally wanted this dress for aaaaages. I often search 'vintage dresses' on eBay and this one always comes up not in my size and really overpriced! A couple of weeks I found it one size too big, but its no problemo and for £35 which I thought was alright :) I know I seem to have a new favourite dress every week but this is defo my #1 hah! I haven't worn these cute little lace socks (which I also have in pink) since Summer '10! I think they can totally be worn this year toooo. And, and, and... my tan loafers came yesterday! So exciting! I'm really happy with them and they can be worn with like both dresses, and chino which is a bonus. Expect to see a lot of them in future posts.

My skin has been absolutely terrible this week. It actually could be mistaken for Braile... no exaggeration! So sorry for my delayed post. I hate having spots aaarghhh.

GUESS WHAT?! Got my V Festival Ticket this morning! Me and my best friend Mollie were so excited for them to come on sale at 9am and we were both trying desperately by phone and online to get some but it was quite ridiculous how we were placed in queues and didn't manage to get through before they sold out. So we ended up purchasing some on eBay. For £240 each instead of the orginal price £175. I know it sounds loads but for what they were going for on eBay, that was a really good deal. Its a weekend ticket and includes camping. Can't wait! :D I already have a few potential festival outfits but its an excuse to buy more clothes ;) Also, my Katy Perry tickets came on Tuesday! EEE, I'm going to see her in April AND... my Taylor Swift tickets arrived today, I'm going to see her at the end of this month! :D Excited would be the understatement of the century.
