 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

Student Loans, What would we do without them?!

Being a poor temporarily unemployed student, my summer wardrobe wasn't looking too promising after London.. until my favourite day of the month, SAAS day. Although it felt like a long time coming, I managed to finally pick up a few bargains. I'd had my eye on a pair of chunky, gladiator style sandals for a while and had seen a few online, but resisted because I hate buying shoes off of the internet due to my annoying in between sized feet. I then stumbled upon these babies from New Look for only £24.99, which were even cheaper with my student discount.. boom!

 Shoes : New Look | Bag : Dr Marten

Our course then held a car boot sale to raise money for our Fashion Show and the supported charity, Mrs Murray's Cats and Dogs home. I spotted this gorgeous Kimono, never worn with the tag on it, all for a lovely £3, another Bargain!

Pound drinks? It's good to be back!

After an amazing eight weeks in London, I'm finally back at Uni in the deen! I had an absolutely amazing time, and I genuinely didn't want to leave, however I have missed Aberdeen, my flatmates and of course, cheap drinks! This has meant that the majority of my time back has been spent going out... oops.

Top : Topshop | Skirt : Topshop | Boots : River Island

Other than that, most of my time is again filled with Uni. As part of second semester, our year are organising and hosting the University's annual Fashion Show. This year the theme is Northern Lights, which will incorporate all things Aberdonian in order to raise money for Mrs Murray's Cats and Dogs Home. Our team is in charge of the models, styling and the sourcing of garments, so we've been pretty busy with all of the organisation as well as doing fun things while fundraising money for the charity!

The event on the 30th of May will involve a showcase of current high street trends as well as some fab live entertainment. If anyone is interested in coming I would absoloutely love you forever, and if so, contact me and I'll sort you out with tickets.

As well as the fashion show, I'm currently flat hunting for next year of uni.. which will be my last (WHAAAT). Not gonna lie, I hate trying to find a flat - Especially in Aberdeen due to the lack of them and how expensive they are. I'm excited though to hopefully get something nice after living in halls for the past year, cause as much as I've loved it - it will good to have somewhere more homely!

After the show, I'll be moving home to Falkirk for up to two months - which will give me a lot of time to focus on blogging and other fun stuff like road trips and traveling (hopefully). My goal this summer is to spend more time outdoors and be more active, instead of spending the majority of my time inside, hungover and on the internet (I'll try....). I've been trying to do so already by making the most of Aberdeen as its been getting warmer.. because why live near a beach if you're not going to visit it?

I'll be posting a lot throughout the next month with the progress of the show as I'm really enjoying being involved in all of the creative aspects of organising it, so watch out for that!

Until next time,

MARCH?!

 So this weekend we decided to go to another part of the city that we hadn't been to before: Kensington. This trip obviously included a visit to Harrods, which was emotional to say the least. I hadn't been before but I love department stores, so I was excited. The difficult part was definitely the cosmetics hall, but I was good and treated myself to a Macaroon instead from the food hall.  

Jumper : Forever 21 | Skirt : Topshop | Bag : Zara | Boots : River Island

March definitely means that I'm allowed to start introducing more summery colours into my everyday wear as well as less layers. Without getting too carried away though as its still pretty cold, I compromised with the cropped baby blue jumper from Forever 21 - which is great for the in between weather as its extremely cosy.

Denim Jacket : Vintage Levi | Hat : Forever 21

I then popped on my favourite denim jacket and beanie to dress it down a little. The jacket is vintage Levi, and it was only £30, which is definitely a bargain in comparison to the ones from Urban Outfitters. My favourite part of this OOTD is definitely the bag. My flatmate Chloe got it and I couldn't resist snapping it up. 'Stressed' on one side and 'Well Dressed' on the other - Love.

Sunglasses : Camden Market | Necklace : Topshop

With accessories I added my favourite collar necklace which I got in the Topshop sale and my tortoise shell sunnies from Camden Market. The rest of the weekend we kept it pretty quiet, taking a trip to Selfridges on Sunday - Making it a weekend of department stores and drooling over designer bags which sadly none of us can afford as of yet. I also have a week off this week so its going to be good to catch up with uni coursework and plenty episodes of the hills.
