Who knew that Scotland could be this sunny?

Hi m'lovelies

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous recently in Scotland and to be honest I've not seen much of it. Today I finally managed to drag myself away from my dissertation (or rather my dissertation procrastination) in order to rummage through Aberdeen's vintage shops while soaking up as much sun as possible. Its officially two weeks today until the hand in, which is pretty bloody frightening BUT I'm starting to see the finish line. HOORAY!

Other than writing my dissertation I've not really been doing much with my life. I did get a haircut recently though which was a HUGE change for me. I've literally had the same haircut for about 6 years (at least), which is insane. I was worried that I wouldn't suit shorter hair and I was literally waiting to burst out into tears when the hairdresser cut it all of in a pony.. but surprisingly it felt amazing.  I can't tell you how annoyed I am for not doing it a long time ago and I now believe in the power of a new hair style to totally cheer you up. It's easier to manage and my hair now looks 100x thicker and healthier. If you're considering going for the chop, do it - midi/short styles are bang on trend right now and I can guarantee that you won't look back!

Basic 70s Boho OOTD

 Hi m'lovelies 

Firstly I want to thank everyone for the amazing response over my last post! It took me a really long time to get right, and I was a tad nervous about posting it, but I'm so glad I did. I've had so much positive feedback, and it motivates me to continue with similar kinds of posts in the future. Today though, here I am again with ANOTHER all black outfit post (shock). I swear I have been wearing a lot more colour recently, but I wasn't feelin' it today so...

 

I nipped into town for some light shopping and lunch as well as a long overdue eye test. It was such a beautiful day, and the sun was out - therefore I got to wear my sunglasses for the first time this year. I was quite skeptical as to whether or not it was ‘warm’ enough to wear a dress without tights... but I braved the Scottish weather, and it was actually the perfect temperature!

 Coat : Zara : £49.99 | Sunglasses : H&M : £4.99 

Last semester, I got the chance to do a piece of coursework which involved creating a capsule collection for S/S15, which basically meant that I got to do a lot of drooling over the 70s gear forecasted for Spring/Summer. Flares, Bohemian, A-lines, V-Necks.. you name it, I love it! Since then, I've been investing in my 70s inspired wardrobe for the season, and I feel like this outfit incorporates it all! 

Dress : Zara TRF : £25.99 | Boots : Public Desire : £39.99 | Bag : H&M : £29.99

As soon as I saw this dress, I absolutely fell in love with it and £25.99, you can't go wrong! I wore it with a Topshop crochet skirt underneath, which again adds to the 70s vibe. These over-the-knee boots have definitely been one of my favourite buys in a while, as I searched for a pair in my size for ages. I finally found them on Public Desire, and they were much cheaper than on the high street, bonus!

 Hii m'lovelies!

Its been a good two weeks since my last post, and I've been busy coming up with a lot of new and hopefully exciting ideas for you all! I'll be posting much more in the next few weeks, and I'm also going to be featured on Scotcampus's 'Today I'm Wearing' section from the 28th of this month, so watch out for that! This post involves another item that I purchased from my recent shopping trip to Primark. At only £8 this Paisely print kimono is gorgeous and perfect to chuck on when its warm yet still a bit windy, which it often is in Scotland at this time of year! I took a walk in the countryside with one of my best friends and her dog Diego, who kept being cheeky and photo bombing... good thing he's cute as a button.

I'm wearing a white chiffon dress which I purchased a few years ago from Topshop, and then a white lace crop top, also from Topshop! I think the top just adds more dimensions to the outfit and gives it a more 70's feel. 

Kimono : Primark : £8 | Dress (worth underneath) : Topshop | Top : Topshop | Arm Cuff : Primark

Collar Necklace : Topshop | Tube Necklace : Primark 

 

I'm an absolute sucker for silver jewellery so I decided to jazz the outfit up with a choker which was only £8 in the Topshop sale! I then added a smaller necklace and an Arm Cuff, both from Primark. The sunglasses worn here are one of my favourite pairs because I love over sized sunnies and I think the yellow half rim really makes them stand out! 

Bag : Zara : £19.99 | Sunglasses : H&M | Bracelets : Primark | Trainers : Nike Air Force 1 : £67.00

I bought the 'Stressed but Well Dressed' clutch in London from Zara in March, and its literally been my go to bag ever since. I think this outfit is pretty 'girlie' - so I finally chucked on a pair of trainers to make it more casual.

 Hiii m'lovelies

I have officially been on holiday for a month now, and it has absolutely flown in! I'd love to say that I've done lots of exciting things in that time... but unless you count watching Netflix in bed with pizza or obsessing over boy band members then...  yeah, its been pretty average. I'm currently internship and job hunting ATM though which is going reasonably well, I hope! 

There is nothing I like more than a successful, stress free shopping trip and recently I done just that. Being on a budget as a poor student, I headed straight to the beautiful bargain bonanza ( I am so cool) that is Primark. I must say; Primark is usually a hit or a miss for me, but they definitely have some gorgeous stuff in at the moment. I found so many items that will no doubt be highlighted in my next few posts. A few of my favourite pieces are shown below.

This season I am loving anything and everything printed. Paisley, tribal, Aztec, florals: you name it. I love this outfit as it makes me feel summery, which is often difficult when you love black as much as me! My bag is a definite favourite of mine as I love the tassels and I LOVE how over-sized it is. It fits absolutely everything in it therefore its perfect for summer day trips/days out.

Skirt : Primark : £10.00 | Bag : Primark : £13.00  | Top : H&M : £9.99 | Sunglasses : ASOS : £12.00

 I then chucked on this gorgeous Kimono from Primark as it got a tad colder which added a bit of colour to the mix. I think I look a bit hippy-ish in this, but who doesn't love a bit of hippyness once in a while?! (so. many. made. up. words)

 Kimono : Primark : £10.00

  Planet Choker Necklace : Ebay : £2.50 | Shoes : New Look : £24.99
