Sunshine on my window...

Finally the sun has decided to shine! Feeling really positive and happy today - who wouldn't with this sunshine?! Even if I am stuck inside revising! It's nice being able to wear summery clothes and not have people look at me like I'm crazy because it's cold!  So I've made the most of it (despite only walking across the road to go to the library all day!) with my outfit:

The hoody is Paul's Boutique, River Island high waisted jeans and a t-shirt that I cropped from Primark:

I took the first two photos of my reflection in the mirror, I like the grainy effect the dust makes...

Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts! xx

Festival Fashion

I'm keeping my spirits high, by rather than dwelling on this horrid weather, I'm going to be optimistic and think ahead to the summer! Summer is my favourite time of year for many reasons - one being the festival fashion trends! I love the bright colours and the fun, hippy styles. Whilst procrastinating (again) I just came across this picture on Harpers Bazaar website, and had to share!!

I love the vintage print, and being the country bumpkin that I am, I adore a girly outfit finished with wellies!! This outfit was spotted at Glastonbury 2011. I wonder what festival fashion trends this summer will bring us...


Another look that I am loving this year is the "American Girl" style. Asos has whole variety of shoes, clothes and accessories already brought together in their 2012 Trends section. Crop tops and pastel colours are my fave!

Can't wait to post my own take on this trend once I've finished my exams!!

rain, rain, go away.

On a horrible rainy day like today, I love nothing more than to stay inside as much as possible with some naughty snacks.

When I got home from seeing to the horses today, I immediately made a very extravagant, delicious hot chocolate...

Clipper Organic Chocolate Drink, a huge handful of Mini Marshmallows, topped with Whipped Cream and about 1/4 of a Wispa bar, grated . YUM.

I would love to be crafty today and make some bunting...but I have to leave anything fun like that until after exams (only 3 weeks until they are over!) Here is some that I made for my friend last year though:

Sorry for the bad quality - these photographs are off my phone.

I'm feeling very sorry for my horses today, in this weather. One of them is in her stable, and the other two have a field shelter though, so at least they don't have to be standing outside in the rain. I feel even more sorry for the wild ponies on the common though!!

Let's hope the sun decides to come out tomorrow :)

Revision? ....maybe later...

I know I really should be revising, especially with less than three weeks until exams - but I just quickly had to post this beautiful photograph of Marilyn Monroe that I came across whilst procrastinating...

I think she always looked her best at her most natural, caught off-guard.

Beautiful!

And now I must must MUST resist watching the two box-sets of her movies that are sat on the shelves right behind me, and carry on attempting to revise!!

Love these...

Re-worked, vintage crop-tops by F As In Frank:



Can't go wrong with some up-cycled fashion...yes please! Once exams are over I will have to make myself one of these :)

This is the kind of motivation I need...

work....work....work....play?!

Trying to find some motivation to get me through the exam period...I always struggle with revision, and this year I seem more distracted than ever!

I seem to be spending more time planning what I'll be doing after exams than actually preparing for the exams themselves! Can't wait to get making lots of clothes and accessories to sell!! I've also been very distracted getting ready for a carboot that I'm hoping to sell at this Saturday. I will have to resist from spending more money than I make...

I'll show you any treasures that I do find though :)
