Hey everyone! January is almost over (which I can't quite believe...) and I figured I ought to write something a little more upbeat after my previous depressing driving post... so the chilly weather prompted me to talk about (and show you) a few winter favourites in my wardrobe at the minute (excuse the posey piccies)... Dr. Martens -  Schuh Coat -  Topshop Scarf -  Topshop Skirt - Primark Gloves -  New Look Bag -  Next My ultimate winter favourite so far has to be my beautiful pastel pink Dr. Martens... I have searched for a pair of these boots to be in my size for SO long! I searched and searched and searched and was just having no luck; my size was continually 'out of stock'. Anyhow, me being me on Christmas day, browsed through the many sales online, and to my surprise, found one pair, in my size in the SALE on the Schuh website! I couldn't quite believe my luck and ordered them immediately. I LOVE THEM! Don't get me wron...

There's a test that most of us take in life which is completely different to going into a hall full of lined up individual desks and chairs. It's a test where you're not clenching that plastic wallet full of pens just in case one decides to run out as the hands on the clock tick down that final menacing minute. It's a test where you can't flick back through a paper to make sure you've answered every question. A test where you can't look back and scribble out a mistake. It's a test where everything around you affects your success, and ultimately whether you pass or fail. Of course, I am talking about the dreaded driving test. I've thought about writing a blog post about this for a while now, but after failing my test for the THIRD time, I figured there wasn't a more appropriate opportunity. I am not a negative person. However, learning to drive can be a life ruiner. Not only does it gobble up time and money, but failing the test is demoralizin...

Hey everyone! We're half way through December and guess what? It's Christmas soon!! Am I the only one who feels this year has just flown? Anyway, since turning the big 18, I've been out a fair bit getting myself into the Christmas spirit! So I guess I thought I'd share with you one of my 'going out for cocktails' outfits... Faux Fur Boxy Gilet - Topshop  £65 Long Sleeved Turtle Neck - New Look £15 Leather Shorts - Zara  £20  Stone Contrast Faux Fur Bar Top Bag - New Look  £19.99 Necklace - A Mystery... This beautiful fur gilet is perfect for keeping me cosy and toasty in this freezing December weather! I bought it last year in petites as I preferred the more cropped fit. I couldn't resist buying this adorable little fur bag to match the cream fur; it's surprisingly spacious too! Teamed with black leather shorts and a pastel turtle neck, I feel it's a good cute yet edgy combo (ahah!). I thought this pretty pearly necklace...

Hey everyone! So last weekend it was my 18th birthday (woop woop!), so I wanted to wear something sassy. Browsing through the Topshop website, a beautiful black jumpsuit caught my eye. I wasn't sure I'd pull it off, but I was too in love with it to not buy it... So it arrived, and I LOVED it! I love the elegance of the gathered sleeves and the v-neck line (it did seem quite low, but hey ho, you only turn 18 once!). I like how it isn't fitted, yet still singes in the waste with a cute detachable 'seatbelt' style belt (as I told my friends). Jumpsuit - Topshop £40 As you can imagine, I had to wear something to make my white chest look a bit less bare, so I decided  to pair my jumpsuit with a stunning multi-coloured rhinestone choker and a simplistic, delicate triple row gold necklace. My older sister was generous enough to let me borrow her beautiful Topshop black heeled sandals too!  Nails - No7 Stay Perfect Shade - Lovely Fuschia  Sq...

Hey everyone! So the other week I was scrolling through the Missguided website and found this beauty... What can I say? It's got the faux fur lining, the silky suede fabric, and the pastel pink colour. It had my name written all over it, so of course, I had to buy it. As soon as I opened the package when it arrived, I snuggled myself into the super soft fabric and genuinely felt like a teddy bear. I've already had so many compliments on this beautiful jacket and I've only worn it twice! I can already tell it's going to be my Autumn/Winter staple. I was initially supposed to be looking for a practical coat for Winter, but given the option between practical or pastel? It's a no brainer ;) Let's just hope it doesn't rain! Pink Faux Shearling Coat - Missguided £49.99   Jumper - Topshop Jeans - Zara Skirt - Missguided £9.99 Shoes - Primark £12 Speak soon! Alex x

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...
