back to blogging

Denim Jacket: Topshop, Top and Skirt: H&M, Shoes: River Island

I keep taking breaks from blogging as I set up my life. Sorry about that, now I'm home I'm going to get back into the swing of it all again - moving around is super stressful. I'm pretty much settled back at home now, all moved out of uni for the very last time which is really sad. Lots of my friends have jobs and seem to be getting on with their lives, so I'm hoping my turn will come soon.

I went and visited a friend who has just started her dream job in London last weekend. She lives literally five minuets from Oxford Street so we basically just shopped the whole time I was there. I picked up this awesome oversized denim jacket in Topshop. I've been after one for a while as I don't really have any jackety things that are summer appropriate.

I threw on this summery outfit to run a few errands today. It was super comfy and the sandals. THE SANDALS. best things ever. I usually hate wearing sandals and just stick to converse in the summer, but these River Island ones are so structured they feel basically like proper shoes. I absolutely love them. 

Also, yes my hair is different. I got an ombre/dip dye/whatever you want to call it. It was a few months ago now, but I'll do a before and after sometime soon. 

Pattern Shorts

Jumper: Ark, T-shirt: Topshop, Shorts: River Island

Those of you who know me know my obsession with patterned shorts. I have about a thousand pairs and wear them to death. This pair is relatively new and I love them. I would usually wear them in the evening but I have so little clothes at the moment I'm trying to dress things like this down. 

I wore this outfit to uni the other day - I much prefer the look with the jumper (it has super cute elbow patches which you can't see in the photo) but it was too hot. I really struggled with what top to wear - a plain black one seemed too dressy. Looking back I'm not a huge fan of the outfit but that's comes with experimenting. 

I'm aware you can't see my shoes in the pictures - I wore my now very battered and holey converse. I want to nab a new pair soon but they've changed the label to a really gross one so I'm a bit unsure about what to do! I love the old 'All Star' logo. I'm tempted to buy a pair of black vans with a white stripe but I hate the trainer look. I'm in a right shoe pickle at the moment! 

Lazy Days

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins, Shirt: River Island, Shorts: Levi's at Urban Outfitters

So I'm pretty much adjusted to my new house by now. My days have consisted of unpacking, tidying and unearthing giant spiders that seemed to have taken hold of the house whilst it was empty over the summer. Other than that there's not much to do as term hasn't started yet. I've started on my course reading, which is something! 

I promised I'd show off my leather jacket once I was comfortable in it, and I love it now. I don't know how I survived without it - no wonder I used to look scruffy all the time. It's been pretty warm over the last few days but it's been really useful to just throw over whatever I'm wearing when the sun goes in. 

I should have some pretty exciting news coming up concerning a little event called London Fashion Week so keep your eyes peeled for that. Leave a comment and let me know your ideal LFW look, I think I might need a little inspiration...
