You’d think since we’re getting close to summer, I’d be wanting to add colour to my wardrobe but no. Im still sticking to black and white. These items are the next things on my shopping list. Might even treat myself if my internship gets off to a good start.

Why have you been AWOL i here you say? Well the only real answer to this question is uni work. Over the last term, i took on a Live Project at uni which is to organise Graduate Fashion Week for AUB. Lets just say its been a whirlwind of emotions and has taken up more of my personal time than once first thought. If you happen to be interested in what I’ve been up to, Click Here to view my uni blog which has all you need to know about what i have been doing (p.s. you don’t have to read it). Now that my life has calmed down a tad, I will be back to blogging as normal. I really hate it when uni life takes over.
To make this post a little more alluring, I’ve added a collection of moments from the past month.
From top to bottom – Abi’s Birthday Night out | Another from Abi’s Birthday | My report from my GFW Live Project | The portfolios at the Bournemouth Fashion Show | Me and my sister | Another of me and my sister | My interview outfit | My cousins absolutely beautiful and adorable baby girl who was born last week | Bournemouth 7’s no. 1 | Bournemouth 7’s outfit | Bournemouth 7’s no. 2 | Bournemouth 7’s no. 3

Dress – Missguided (similar) | Cardigan – Zara | Boots – Office (old) | Heels – Newlook |Bag – H&M (old)
Sometimes our lives get a little busy and you have to go out straight from work or uni, so i thought id begin doing a Day 2 Night posts on my blog to help those of you who really do have busy lives.
This dress i bought from Missguided a while ago and never really wear it. Its a very versatile piece all types of occasions. This dress is actually a shift style dress but because I’m tiny I have to sinch it with a belt otherwise i look like a sack.
Misguided don’t actually do this dress anymore but i have linked to one which is very similar and would work perfectly.
Day – To dress down the dress, I’ve added a black thin cardigan. You could equally wear a jacket if its a little nippy. I’ve finished the look off with a pair of black ankle boots. Again if its cold, chuck on a pair of tights but hopefully the weather will stay warm and they’ll be no need.
Night – To give a night out look, I firstly took off the cardigan and switched the boots for these beaut scrappy platform heels. I wish i could wear shoes like this all the time but the truth is, My feet aren’t ready for commitment like that just yet. Because of the pattern on the dress, You can keep the accessories very simple. If you have colour in your wardrobe, A pair of bright heels would look amazing and add a pop of colour to the outfit. I also added my simple black clutch bag, again a bright colour would equally as well.

Jeans – Topshop | Top – Missguided | Bag – Miss Selfridge | Boots – Office (old)
The weather may be being typical un decisive english weather but at least dreamy white jeans can brighten up your day, right?
When i was younger, i used to be so against white jeans. Mainly because they were ‘chavy’ at one point but trends change i suppose. I mean trainers used to be only a PE thing but now its an everyday thing. It’s like these jeans have been sent from heaven, they fit me so well that i just want to wear them all the time. Like if i want to feel good, this is the item i’ll wear. Happy happy that its summer and acceptable to wear them again.
I paired the jeans with this black fishnet crop top which is more of a night out piece but throw on a kimono and no one will know. Only downside to this top is, you either have to go braless or buy a really good stick on bra. Never thought id see the day id own anything fishnet again. Don’t know if any of you had these but i used to have these neon pink fishnet arm warmer things which were probably from claires. Lets just say I’m never going near neon pink fishnet again.
To finish the look off, I’ve added a pair of black boots which I’ve had for years and this black clutch. A bright clutch would work better as it would give the outfit a pop of colour but i own no colour. Note to self – Buy more colour!

Top – Primark | Jacket – Forver 21 | Jeans – Topshop | Boots – Zara |Sunglasses – Quay at Asos | Bag – eBay | Watch – Casio
We have been graced with beautiful weather recently and I’m loving it. Not having to wear a massive coat to keep warm is one of THE best things. Coats always slightly ruin an outfit I think. Haven’t yet escaped wearing black all the time but adding, Id like to say colour but beige isn’t really that colourful, a few key pieces that match give a more put together look. Not to mention adding a little excitement to an outfit. I’m in LOVE with this top from Primark. As weird as it may sound, i love showing off my collar bone. I think its quite sexy in way. I believe it was around £10 but don’t quote me on that. Bargain in my opinion. The key piece of the outfit, is this jacket/kimono thing. It has a trench coat look to it but its very light and perfect for this time of year. Im hoping to get lots of wear out of it as it will go with the majority of my wardrobe, mainly because everything is black. I need help. Forever 21 have some really cool pieces at the moment and for the best price, definitely check them out.

Top – Primark | Skirt – Topshop | Boots – Topshop
We all want to be a barbie girl in a barbie world right? Back in the day, i was a huge Barbie fan and when i saw this t shirt in primark i couldn’t really say no. I actually bought it to wear in bed, i do love an oversized t shirt to sleep in. I probably would wear it out of the house if i had the right occasion but for now its staying in my pyjama draw.
This tee is actually a size 16 or possibly an 18, i don’t know. But i actually really like the way it sits on the body. On a whim, i tried it on with this quilted leather effect skirt and actually thought it looked quite cool. Its girly and fun but a bit sexy at the same time. To finish off the look, i added my trusty heeled boots. If i was cool enough, i’d probably wear my nike air force 1’s but i just don’t think I’m at the coolness level just yet. Maybe one day.

I’ve wanted to add a bit of excitement to my blog for a while and i finally had the idea to do weekly round ups. Showing you the moments i’ve captured that week. Sometimes my life isn’t that exciting and i end up spending the whole week in bed so these won’t be every week.
I’ve recently been on my easter holidays which was such a nice break away from uni life. It was so nice to be cooked for and not having to do everything by yourself. Im not going to describe each and every moment but I’m going to attempt to list them in an interesting readable way?
My cousins baby shower | My cousins Chihuahua Timmy Jack | My cat Humbug | My sister and her sausage roll boobs |Quote which i thought was very me | Belated birthday cake my mum made (it was soo good) | Dessert i had at Pizza Express | Sister selfie | the usual bedroom mirror selfie | Another mirror selfie | Me being a goon | Another sister selfie | My dog

Top & Jeans – Topshop | Bag – eBay | Watch – Casio | Boots – Zara
Im not actually that keen on this outfit and wouldn’t usually post something i didn’t like but I’ve decided to post it as its a really simple easy to throw on outfit if you’re in a rush or need a quick outfit.
As you may know from my previous posts, I’m attempting to add some colour to my wardrobe as its very dull and boring. Anyways, I saw this top on a girl in Topshop fell in love with it and especially the way she styled it. This isn’t the way she wore it but i will post an outfit soon similar to hers. This top is perfect for this time of year as its quite thin and can be worn with a light jacket. I’ve tucked it into my not so black, black Joni jeans.
These boots have got to be my favourite piece in this outfit. They were on the pricy side but they are the most beautiful boots and perfect for summer. If you know me, i live in heeled boots so finding a summer alternative has made me very happy. I haven’t actually worn them much as they’re real suede so saving them for the sunny summer days.
