Hey Everyone! After settling back at sixth form, I came to notice the 'choker' craze going on. I suddenly saw so many girls wearing the same elasticated black choker around their necks. Despite the choker looking great on these girls, I wasn't particularly drawn to this 'edgy' look for me, therefore I was determined to find the perfect 'girly' choker. So I was having a casual browse around the jewellery stands in Topshop and such a pretty pearly cream flower choker with red/orange gem detail caught my eye... Initially, I thought they may clash with my hair, however I couldn't resist! It has definitely been my September stable and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more. Cream Flower and Filigree Choker - Topshop £12.50 I love it! Speak soon, Alex x

Hey everyone! So last week I stayed in a lovely small little town called Southwold in the county of Suffolk. My friend's family always rent out a different house whenever they go, and I had the honor of staying with them for 5 days! Because the weather was so lovely and sunny (yes, I got sun burnt...) I thought I'd share with you my 5 summer outfits! Outfit Number 1 - Travel Jumpsuit - Misselfridge £34 I never imagined myself in a jumpsuit, however after seeing this beautiful number in the sale in Misselfridge a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist. I thought it would be perfect for summer due to the loose fit around the leg keeping me nice and cool. The denim is very soft and light making it very comfy, hence why I wore it on the first and last day when I spent 3 hours on the train. I feel the V neckline teamed with the ankle grazer style and pretty pattern makes the jumpsuit very casual, although with a pair of wedges it could easily be dressed up! I wore this ju...

As soon as the jelly craze hit the high street, I knew I couldn't resist buying these adorable baby pink Juju's and feeling about 5 again. Initially, I was drawn towards the baby blue heeled Juju's in Topshop, however I felt the exclusive Office maxi low pink ones were more practical and cute. I bought them in June knowing that I was going to get a lot of wear out of them over summer, and I certainly have so far. They are the perfect mix between flip-flops and sandals and I even like to wear them with Topshop frilled socks when it's a little cooler. I plan on wearing these beauties on my travels as they are just so comfortable and can jazz up any outfit! Exclusive Maxi Low Juju Jellies - Office £20 Speak soon, Alex x

Hey everyone! So on this fine summer's day, I thought I'd share with you my love for my Topshop Mom jeans. I was very skeptical of Mom jeans at first, but after seeing this beautiful floral pair I just had to have them. I bought them a couple of months ago with the intention of wearing them on sunny days when it's just a little too cold for shorts, but a little too hot for thicker skinny jeans. I figured these were perfect summer jeans, hence the ankle grazer style and the not-so-fitted Mom-jean-style leg. The rips at the knees add a bit more edge to the pretty floral pattern whilst keeping my knees nice and cool! Yet I feel the more fitted high-waste of these jeans around my hips makes these jeans a lot more flattering! I love to wear these jeans with cropped tops (I am absolutely loving the high-neck crop tops they are selling in Miss Selfridge at the moment!), sandals, converse, and adding a pair of funky sunglasses and a cute little belt to finish the look. Mom...

As technology continues to take over our world, I'm beginning to think; is it all really worth it? I don't feel technology is built for people like me. I came to this realisation the other week, when I had a slight accident with my iPhone 5s - by accident, I mean phone sliding out of my pocket and into the loo accident. As soon as I heard that sickening 'clunk' and 'splash' into the depths of the toilet, I knew it could only be one thing - my beautiful golden iPhone 5s. I wasn't insured. I tried leaving it in rice. I tried getting it fixed. It was no use. I was so disappointed - not because I'd lost all of my contacts, but because in my eyes, it's the best phone you can get, and I'd only had it 8 months! The only way of getting my precious iPhone back was to pay another £630 for a new one... But then I thought 'At the end of the day, it's just a phone.' - people managed to survive in the sixties without mobiles, and the sixties lo...

The season of Summer has approached, and I really have come to experience the many 'perks' of being ginger. Firstly, the freckles. I was rather satisfied with the amount of freckles I had in the Autumn/Winter seasons; just a few scattered around my nose that were not too prominent or overbearing. Then Spring arrived. I noticed a few more 'spring' to my forehead, but I could deal with this; nothing too drastic... Now Summer has hit me and BOOM. The little devils are everywhere. I feel like my whole face has turned into an army of freckles. They all just need to join together now so my face is all one colour. You never know, it may turn into a 'yes I'm tanned' sort of look... but I doubt that. ;) Yeah it's all good saying you can cover it up with foundation, but finding a perfect match for pale skin is impossible!! This brings me on to fake tanning - something gingers can NEVER do. Let's face it, it just looks stupid. Fair enough using some gradual...

Hey everyone! So it's that time of year where we're all stressing about exams, and I'll tell you now that A levels may possibly be the death of me. From doing my GCSE's last year, I swear my motivation to do anything has gone down hill. I'll try to revise for half an hour and before I know it, I'll be watching a video on YouTube, or I'll want to watch something on TV, or I'll suddenly have the urge to eat. It's shocking! Even now, when I should be revising, I'm writing a blog post! Please don't say I'm the only one who does this... Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that we shouldn't stress about exams, because they are not the be all and end all. A grade on a piece of paper does not show how great a person you are. I think it's so sad that our generation are left to feel that if they don't get good grades then they are going to fail in life. Yeah, grades can open doors and get you into university, but...
