Back to uni on a very grey Manchester day | tried to brighten up said grey day with some neon | got the cutest new shoes (BooHoo.com) | painted my nails | took a selfie to show how much Colour B4 has worn off and I’m ginger again(!) | #ootd BooHoo trousers, Topshop embellished t-shirt, eBay coat | watched Blue Valentine | #ootd American Apparel navy polo neck and Cheap Monday jeans | navy creepers and cute studded socks (Primark) | watched Despicable Me | got a papercut on my lip :'( | went to the cutest Alice In Wonderland themed cafe | ate very overpriced pancakes there | turned over my calender – February pugs are so cute! | wore some ASOS band rings watched Death Proof | got a nose bleed 🙁 | wore my eBay bargain Ralph jumper | saw a cute t-shirt in Urban Outfitters | painted my nails again.
I’m obsessed with this Motel dress! I love versatile pieces, and this dress can be dressed up or down so easily, and can be layered up for winter or worn with a straw hat and sandals during the (hopefully) hot summer.
The monochrome stripes are bang on trend for this season and the approaching spring/summer, and any monochrome print looks great with a colour pop in your accessories or shoes. Here I paired it with neon yellow, a trend from last summer which I still love, however, it looks equally great paired with thick tights, boots, some faux fur and a wintery oxblood or with metallic or holographic accessories for a night out.
I went all out with the monochrome here by wearing the Motel dress with my Nasty Gal Moto jacket which I got on sale for a bargain $35 (around £22)! The winter sun has allowed me to also wear my new D&G sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop which I love – they’re a great shape without being so big that they overtake your face. Sunglasses Shop have tons of other great designer sunglasses, click through to check them out.
I’m wearing a size XS, but I think I would have preferred a S so it was a little more oversized and don’t forget to use the 15% discount code in my sidebar, happy shopping 🙂
Despite my looming exams (first one is tomorrow, wish me luck!!) I’ve still found a million ways to distract myself, one of them of course being taking photos of everything I do for Instagram. Last week, Monday-Sunday consisted of:
Amazing ASOS rings | new Infrareds from my boyfriend | #ootd (Topshop skirt, American Apparel blouse, Primark coat, Romwe shoes) | cute Marc By Marc Jacobs bracelet I won on eBay | amazing £8 shoes from New Look | jewellery and perfume section of my shelves | #nails (Models Own Gold Rush and Soda Pop Pink) | a photo of me | delicious lunch | more amazing ASOS rings | Harry Potter mug which is around 10 years old | my wall full of revision notes | #ootd (Romwe jacket, Primark jumper, Sparkle & Fade blouse, Cheap Monday jeans, Jordan 4s, The Quiet Riot bag) | my Jordans | new Totem Styler from Enrapture* (blog post soon) | pretty dresses from MeeMee* (blog post here) and Motel* (blog post soon) | another Marc By Marc Jacobs braclet I won on eBay | hot chocolate with cream and chocolate orange sprinkles | the collar detail of my Sister Jane dress from MeeMee | Krispy Kreme doughnuts

Hello everyone, hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! I’ve been wearing this amazing fluffy jumper from Mina UK to death since I received it, it’s definitely one of the most comfortable things I own and I love the print too. The other day I paired it with my trusty faux leather pleated skirt from Primark and new favourite chunky Topshop ankle boots, but it also looks great with black skinny jeans or tucked into Levis shorts. I also wore some super cute studded socks which I got in Primark, and of course when I went out I threw on some thick tights too.

Today was spent visiting family before Christmas and eating way too much! I wore my new Ralph Lauren cable knit jumper, a Christmas present from my lovely boyfriend, and my favourite American Apparel tartan print chiffon skirt which I actually got for about £10 on Secret Sales! I also wore my new Topshop Adonis boots which I got for less than half price on Next2Nowt.com and of course Primark Super Cosy tights.
