Sunshine...

I don't know where the past week has gone really! It's been a super busy week for me and we've had some beautiful weather!

I started the week in London with my mum, we were having a shopping trip ready for my trip to Florida. We went to the Kings Road which was amazing, we've never been before and I loved it. The Cath Kidston shop was amazing! The next day we were up and shopping by half past 8! We definitely meant business! So much so we were actually finished by midday but we had done amazingly well and I came home with three pairs of shoes, a dress for graduation and various summery items! They will definitely be featuring in some OOTD posts in the near feature!

Anyway we've had such beautiful sunshine the past week it has made me want to buy even more summer clothes so I've had a quick scout around and picked some of my favourites!

Vero Moda Printed Summer Dress.

Cream Heart Sleeveless Blouse

Elephant Playsuit

Stripe Jersey Dress

Let me know what you're lusting after for summer! I think there are some beautiful items in the shops at the moment and I can't wait for more sunshine to wear them all!

P.s. I've also got some bits and bobs on ebay if you fancy a look! :)

The Green Monster Movement...

So whilst stumbling (www.stumbleupon.com) around on the Internet the other day I found the Green Monster movement, interesting I thought, after reading the web page and many reviews on the Internet, this green monster smoothie sounds AMAZING!! Not only is it meant to improve your energy but is also meant to help improve your skin and hair health. Perfect!

I have just made one now after purchasing some flax seed at Julian Graves. For everyone in the UK, Julian Graves actually has a 50% off sale at the moment on EVERYTHING!! So my big bag of flax seed was only £2.49, bargain! So it's well worth having a look if you need any nuts or anything.

Anyway I can report that a smoothie made out of spinach is surprisingly nice. I did add some berries to it, as I like my smoothies sweet and with just a banana it wasn't sweet enough for me, but it is a lovely smoothie and if it helps improve my energy and skin then I can't really complain! So for all of you looking for a new health kick I can definitely recommend this!

Let me know if you have any more healthy options!

Resurfacing...

Hello again!

It's been a couple of weeks but I've had my dissertation hanging over my head, but I handed it in on Friday and I had the weekend off, so I thought it was about time I made another blog post. I've only got two more pieces of coursework and one exam and then I am totally finished with undergraduate education which at the moment is a pretty scary prospect.

I fully intend to start doing outfit posts over summer, I just need to purchase a tripod so I can actually take the photos myself without bothering family members. I'm also going to get my Etsy shop back up and running when I have time to craft again. I am really looking forward to summer at the moment.

I hope you like all of the clothes I've chosen, I think they are all very cute and summery, I especially love the gingham bikini, think I might have to make a purchase. I really love the polka dot peg leg trousers, but I really wish they were in another colour, I really loathe to wear black when it becomes sunnier, so it really puts me off buying them. I've got a £5 off £20 ASOS voucher at the moment (thank you diet coke!) so just deciding what I might like to purchase.

I'm also planning a foundation review in a bit, once I've had a week to test out my new Clinique Anti-Blemish foundation. Let me know if there's anything you want me to cover.

Hello all,

I hope Spring is treating you well? It's been glorious here the past few days, so in my breaks in between coursework writing and Dissertation woes I've put together a quick Polyvore of beautiful Spring clothes. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Pancake Day...

Hello hello,

Happy Pancake day!! This is honestly one of my favourite days of the year, I love pancakes so much!! I was fully anticipating having pancakes for breakfast, lunch and tea but unfortunately Uni wasn't working with me and they had no pancakes so I had to make so with salad!! I have however just had four pancakes for my tea! The traditional lemon and sugar and then some nutella! Yum! Here's a fab easy recipe for all of you who haven't yet made any - Delia Smith Recipe!

Is anyone giving up anything for Lent? I'm not actually religious but I do see Lent as a good excuse to give up some of my cravings! So for the third year in a row I'm going to give up chocolate. As much as I love chocolate I actually really do enjoy giving it up, it's nice to have a break from it! Let me know if your giving anything up.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've got two weeks until my Dissertation is due, as well as countless other pieces of coursework so I am a bit snowed under! I will be putting together some more outfits soon, and I fully intend to start doing outfits of the day once most of my work is finished for uni!

Happy Pancake Day.

Owl-ing Around...

Owl-ing Around by hideinpockets on Polyvore.com

This is my latest creation on Polyvore, I'm meant to be packing my bag for Uni tomorrow so of course I found something else to procrastinate with! I actually bought this dress the other day and I LOVE it, I haven't yet worn it but I think it can be dressed up in so many different ways.

I love the bag as well, although it is a bit more than I'd spend on an ordinary day bag, it's super cute. I think apart from the dress the ring is my favourite part of the outfit, it reminds me of a Golden Snitch? I don't know if that's just the Harry Potter fangirl part of me though!

I hope you like it! Have a good week!

Polyvore ponderings...

Nautical Topshop by hideinpockets on Polyvore.com

TopShop dress

Lace up pumps

Cream handbag

Engraved ring

Turquoise jewelry
$20 - topshop.com

I'm on a roll with blog posts today! So I have just found the wonders of Polyvore through another blog, I think I am about three years later than the rest of the world, but just incase anyone else hasn't found it. It's basically a website that lists clothes from thousands of brands/shops and you can put together different outfits from different websites/shops to see how clothes together. Basically an online lookbook! I love it!

I quickly put together a Topshop outfit, as you can probably guess I have a lot of affection for Topshop, I really like the outfit I put together though, I think it's really easy to wear and really cute. Unfortunately I have tried the dress on and it doesn't really suit me but I still think it's a really cute dress!

The only annoying thing I can foresee at the moment is that it only seems to have the prices in dollars but that might just be because I'm a beginner, I will try just to list clothing that is available on the UK site though!

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think.
