New house!


Top and skirt: Urban Outfitters, Tights: Marks and Spencer, Shoes: Converse

So I've just moved into my student house for my third and final year of university *sob*. It's surprisingly hard to take pictures of myself in my room as it's quite small, but I'll try and make it work! Term doesn't start for another few weeks and my other housemates don't move in until then, so it's just me and another girl for the time being. 

I had to run a few errands today as, silly girl I am, I forgot to bring pillows. I got to use my bicycle though for the first time in three months which was just lovely. My bike is one of the things I miss most when I'm at home - I live at the top of a big hill so cycling is impossible when I'm in Oxford. It was super hot today so I changed from black tights to nude before I left the house, though I shouldn't have worn any it was so hot. Hopefully it will stay like this for a while, it would be nice to have a second summer whilst I'm at uni!

Wishlist

Left: Top: Topshop, Skirt: Miss Selfridge, Dress: Topshop, Skirt: New Look, Necklace: Miss Selfridge

I saw the dress (centre) when I was shopping in Bristol, but they only had it in petite, sadly. I'm not sure if its trying too hard to be pretty, but I think it's really cute. It's a bit more dressy than my usual outfits, I couldn't exactly wear converse with it! But it would be nice to own something a bit more smart for going out in. Usually I sport shorts and converse on nights out, I'm going to try and class it up a bit more come September, maybe even bring out my long forgotten heels.

I like shiny things; hence the embellished crop top and skirt. I'm always hankering after sequin skirts, this one is gorgeous. I really want a plain black crop top, but I like this more dressy alternative. I really don't need another tartan skirt, but its basically autumn now and tartan is a staple! This necklace is just so adorable, very different from my usual jewelry (either very long necklaces, or nothing) and it would add a touch of spring loveliness come winter.
