slap me.

What an awful blogger i have been! Not sure third year allows time for blogging to be honest. Think it's just going to get more sporadic than ever before. I like this little mantra that i stole from weheartit but none of it is true to me because i live such a ridiculously scatty life. Here's some other stuff that has been inspiring me recently:

Ps. I'm styling & modelling in a shoot for Oxfam next week so will post the photo's from that asap!

Happy No Year!

I know it is totes cliche and all that but i'm hoping a new year really will be a fresh start for moi. The end of last year was quite dreadful but i'll not get into all that as it is far too depressing and now is a time to look to the future. I've not blogged for so long i am appalled with myself! Life has really taken over in the last few weeks. My skills at anything other than working, sleeping, partying, have really gone out the window. But it's back to university in three days so it is time to seriously catch up and knuckle down. No more burning the candle at both ends. I'm kind of writing this just to make myself believe it, good enough? Haven't really taken many photo's over the festive period but here are a few to keep y'all amused.

disco time.

Wearing: Topshop blouse, Ragged Priest customised Levi's, H&M bandeau, random shoes, vintage jewellery.

So we had a mini photo sesh before we went out the other night and this is the result. It was so good to get out of the flat and drink cocktails and dance like idiots. I know all i ever say is how stressed i am but i am seriously freaking out about life! I think i need to gain some perspective maybs?

What are the thoughts on the shorts? In June i tried some v similar ones in Topshop but chose the standard american flag ones instead and i have regretted it ever since. I searched Topshops across the country but to no avail. So when i spotted these in Manchester the other week i snapped them up in an instant. I'm pretty sure they'll be constantly attatched to my body for the forseeable future.

Peace out lovers!

sports luxe.

Wearing: Vintage top & vest, Topshop shorts, boot from random cheap shop in Manchester, Topshop coat & vintage jewellery.

I never really got into the sports luxe thing when it was 'on-trend' but i'm really appreciating these shorts right now. They've been hanging around in the back of my cupboard for a while now and i felt now was the right time to whip them out. I think that if it was socially acceptable i would go everywhere in sweatpants and these are kind of the fashion equivelant? I got the boots in some random shop but they're just like the Toppers ones i have been lusting after for a long time at a snip of the price! I'm so short i just love a shoe that is casual enough for day time but still gives you abit of a lift.

I know i blogged ages ago about the new Forever 21 store in Birmingham but it has finally opened! Has anyone been? It's only about an hour from here on the train so i will defs be checking it out when i have some spare time. I'm off to London this weekend with the girls so i will finally get to debut the purchases i made in Manchester last week. Very exciting.

William, William it was really nothing.

Cackle!

So i was trying to be a witch, but my friends descrbied me as 'you in a pointy hat'. I sprayed the ends of my hair black though which led to a frezy of dip dying in this last week, i'm just too excitable.

I went to Manchester and Liverpool yesterday, that's right - both in one day.

Equating in 6 hours spent on trains, how joyous. I was totally exhausted by the end of it, but managed to pick up a few new purchases along the way. Will post when i leave the flat to go somewhere other than the library.

CATS!

Erin's 23rd birthday celebrations: afternoon tea party & cats night out. We were absolutely dedicated to the cause, meowing 'til the early hours. I thoroughly enjoyed my turn as a white and black cat anyway, although the talc in my hair proved extremely difficult to remove. MEOW!
