Circles...

Shirt- Urban Outfitters

Skirt- American Apparel £38

Shoes- Topshop (Astrix) £40

Today I borrowed my housemates denim circle skirt from american apparel I was really impressed with it as it made me look tiny. It's a high waisted skirt and fans out so nips you in where your smallest. I really liked the shape and think that I will have to invest in one of my own. I wore it with a baggy shirt tucked in and some boots.

Bright Lights...

Jacket- Topshop £68

Vest- Asos £10

Jeans- Topshop £32

Boots- Topshop (Astrix) £40

A little splash of neon defiantly brightened up my otherwise dull outfit. I had a little meeting about my future today, hence the classy look. However I couldn't resist adding a splash of bright neon pink to brighten up my day. This structured jacket has been on my mind from the first time I saw it on the Topshop website. I love the hue and the fact that it looks luminous. It certainly makes me stand out whilst keeping the structure. I love the shape whilst it is not technically a fitted jacket it does have some structure to it. I have a bigger top half to my bottom half and I feeel that the jacket with the dropped arms makes my shoulders look more petite. Today I teamed it with some super skinny high waisted jeans and a plain black vest. I decided to let the jacket be the statement to my outfit so didn't add any jewelry. Afterall I was meeting someone for lunch so wanted to look a bit professional I think that it would look great with skirts and dresses for summer, especially in the sun the colour will be amazing.

Today I couldn't really be bothered I have had such a hectic rush around doing things for my ebay, MorganclarkMC. Working, getting on with some university work. So I just threw on an easy outfit of jeans and a vest. However I did feel a little guilty for defying my fashion morals so added a bit of parisian chic with some chanel ballet pumps. I'm not going to bore you all with anything more, tonight it's late and I am rather busy.

The best thing about today's outfit is you can buy it all as it is from the recent collections, this never usually happens. There is always something a little old so if you love it, quick get to the shops. So I am still relaxing and reviving in Northumbria, somehow I still have a very sore throat and tomorrow it is back to reality. I am quite excited to go back to Manchester, me and the big city have been apart for a whole week. I am not ashamed to say I miss the busy lifestyle and my comfortable bed. After a little luxury break with a spa date I feel like reality however much I love it may be biting hard. My outfit today is trying to channel a relaxed but quite mature vibe. For the past few days you will have noticed I have stepped away from my hippy vibe that I usually channel. It has been quite refreshing dressing a bit differently but I do miss my usual style. The jumper was bought by my mum, I love it. The shape is great, it's quite baggy and falls nice, I especially hate my arms and it covers them up. I also love the colours, I know it's boring but navy really suits me, I am quite pale so the navy brightens up the cream. The jeans are just my usual comfortable jeans. I used to be one of these girls that was all about leggings, then I realised like most that you could see my pants and unless you are having an off day they are simply not practical. Therefore I started buying more jeans and I have totally changed my tune, jeans are my new leggings. On my feet are my favourite boots of the moment they are featured heavily in my blog at the moment. I love the Astrix boots from Topshop, you can get them in Black, white and a grey marble. I got the black being practical but I love the marble ones and at £40 may soon treat myself to another pair. They are especially amazing for making you legs look long and therefore can double as a night and day boot.

Just thought I would have a little pose for you all. Happy Monday!

Tonight we opened my Grandad's Wine its a Bordeaux from 1997 so very old in wine terms. I was a bit upset as I would rather it be saved for a special occasion, but it's nice to drink it and remember him.  Love you Gramps.

Retreat...

After being ill all week I finally sucummed to the pressures of my parents trying to take me to the lodge in Northumbria, I know its a hard life. I've not been for ages but I had nothing better to do so I thought why not. It's on an estate attached to a snazzy hotel, therefor I made some effort with my outfit. Therefor I went for quite a tailored look with some black fitted short and a black blazer. I decided to break the black up with a chiffon camisole from Topshop. The camisole comes in a cropped style as well as the full length that I am wearing. It also comes in many colours from brights to pastels to prints. I dont usually do tailored as you can probably pick up from my posts my style is more indie and relaxed, but its nice to have a bit of a change up every so often.

I suddenly feel like this blog is becoming an ode to H&M, what can I say i'm living on a student budget and it certainly has student prices. Now don't knock it but today's trousers are an old purchase, you can however still get multiple styles from patterned to plain still in store. My trousers are the dalmatian spot ones priced at £9.99. What a bargain they were and they have although so cheap stood the test of time, especially for how often I wear them. I like my bold patterns and print, i don't like to just wear any plain thing so when I saw the trousers I thought maybe then I saw the price and I ran to the till. Like in my recent knitwear post I sing the praises for H&M, the Swedish are defiantly fashion giants and this mega brand is no exception. The best thing is those items that you find and suddenly your face lights up as you realise how cheap they are. At first I was pensive of the trouser the base colour is a creamy yellow with black dots, I had no clue what to team them with. I started out with plain tops and moved on to jumpers when I soon realised that they could be matched up with so many existing items in my closet. Not only tops but shoes as well, they seem to match boots, converse ballet pumps you name it and it will go, I even one hungover day paired the trousers with bright pink Nike blazers, I know shocking. Even more shocking that it created a decent combination. That's why for a mere £9.99 they are one of my favourite items in my closet and I am sure they will be for a while.

Please excuse what I look like, I have felt so ill all day and am currently channeling the looks of a frog considering my swollen glands. So today, considering I feel like death warmed up me and my Mum just went down to the local clothes shop and cafe. First of all we went to the cafe for coffee and cake, I had a scone with jam and cream. I don't know why I love scones so much considering that they are so boring but there is something about them, cherry scones are my personal favorite. After a treat we went to Pookie. I come from a small town where there is only a few shops, Pookie is a small boutique that sells a range of products from brands such as Villa, St Tropez and other small labels. It also occasionally stocks high priced designer products. Most of the stuff however is actually a decent price. Take my new top, photographed above, it was only £22 a bargain. The colour is a bright yellow so I thought it would be great for summer, its very vibrant and cheered me up. It's also quite versatile here I have it on with jeans but you could also get away with it as a very short dress, big knickers beneath. The shop is beautifully laid out, most of the products sold are for the more mature market, my mum absolutely loves it. I mostly go along for the immaculate decor and comfortable sofa, I somehow always manage to spend something there though.
