A Bad Attempt at Summer

I've been away recently at a festival, and also on a British beach holiday with my mother.

As much as i love summer, most of the things i own are in varying shades of navy, grey and black. No one told me these weren't summery colours ~crying~

Today I've been wearing what is possibly THE most summery thing i think I've ever worn yay

I would like to note 2 things:
1) don't worry, my arms are actually the same length - i don't know what happened here.
2) STILL DON'T WORRY. IT IS -moderately- SUMMERIER UNDERNEATH THE JUMPER (yes i am aware everyone owns this H&M jumper in different colours, but i didn't realise this when i bought it over a year ago okay. RIP my sense of style.

Personally, i feel like this is a great achievement.

Festivals

Tomorrow morning i'm off to T in the Park in Scotland.
I've been all stocked up on rain coats and ponchos, wellies and thermals but the weather is scorching so now i'm having a bit of a mare.

These are a couple of some of the outfits im considering taking.

im not wearing/taking any jewellery as i am notorious for breaking/losing it.

I really need to stop procrastinating and start actual packing.

I'll also be taking the bandanna from my previous post, and also a flower headband - because trying to be indie is so cool obvs -

So Serge

Just a quick post;

For my birthday, my 3 homegals bought me:

Oliver Proudlock's Serge De Nimes London jumper

i really should wear this necklace less

 BANDANNA

 And also a bandanna in my favourite colour (they also bought themselves similar ones) for us to rock at T IN THE PARK on thursday.

very excited.

Wednesday 3rd July, 2013

My 17th Birthday!

Clearly the most important day of the year. All these fireworks going off tomorrow in America are a day late.

Had a brilliant day; lunch with my mum, then the rest of the day/night with friends. Here was my outfit:










The dress was actually bought years ago from Debenhams. God knows why my 13 year old self wanted it, but now I'm glad I bought it.

I wear this necklace too much.

This jacket is so gross its fab.

I think I wear it almost everyday.

Its too big.

Its faded.

Love it.







Now I'm 17 teen. I'm officially a Learner Driver.

Wish me luck and everyone keep off the roads.








Happy July xoxo

Unemployment

I went around my local shopping centre handing out CVs the other day
(I regret to admit only one store actually accepted - but let's not get to caught up with numbers)

So, I am waiting to hear to see if they have a job going for me.

But for the occasion, I tried to dress relatively 'smart' - bear in mind that, to me, dressing smartly is anything other than pajamas.

Top - Topshop
Necklace - Urban Outfitters

Leggings - American Apparel

-Its hard to see in this photo, but these are the nylon leggings bought in a previous post-

I also decided to
BRING BACK THE CENTRE PARTING

Also sporting the Parklife Festival wristband, and my Great Auntie's gold bangle.

Anyway, it's my birthday in a few days, I've broken up for summer, completed a year of college, and hopefully have some success on the job front so wish me luck.

Plum

The post I was originally meant to make for today was about my favourite make-up item:

My Maybelline Super Stay 10hr Tint Gloss

the '10 hr' is a bit of a joke, as if you're planning on eating, drinking or breathing (which, i don't know about the rest of you but, i do a lot) then you'd likely have to reapply it a few times throughout the day.

But the colour is gorgeous, and i especially love it in the evening, so if you don't retouching it across your day/night then its worth it.

I've also owned it since before I dyed my hair blonde, and I think the colour suits pretty much any hair colour by the looks of it.

American Apparel

I've been absolutely in love with these nylon leggings for months now, so thought it was about time I bought a pair.

I bought them yesterday from American Apparel (one of my all time favourite shops)

Today, I've put them together with my grey high neck top from Urban Outfitters, and my -newly fixed- cross necklace from Cow, of which you can get a better look at here:

~Why must i always wear grey and black
~I suppose we should just be thankful there isn't more blue.
