FIERCE

New in.

This pretty badass piece from Fashionology.

I absolutely love all their stuff. So simple but with a very distinct look. I just want it all!

So imagine my delight when a little package arrived in my hands from a gorgeous boy...

He couldn't have got me anything better really as it fits in perfectly with all my other jewellery. 

It hasn't come off my neck since.

Also apparently shark's teeth have special magical properties like healing and strength. 

How groovy is that?! Not just a pretty face then.

SANTA BARBARA

Minimal perfection. 

Laid-back chic at its best. 

The most gorgeous editorial I've seen in a while. Just making me dream (as per) of summer and the beach.

MONDAY MOTIVATION #4

A bit of wisdom from Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.

It's a quote that has been attributed to many a powerful lady over the centuries but it was Ulrich who actually said it. 

How annoying must that be for her?! To not get the credit she deserves. 

But they do say copying is the sincerest form of flattery. So I guess she's got to feel pretty chuffed that so many people wanted to have said it.

But anyway. Here's to girl power. I'm done with embracing failure.

Let's rebel.

Thanks to my lovely housemate for the modelling!

SATURDAY HANGS

This is what my Saturday looks like.

It's rainy and horrid...still...and England is not embracing summer at all. 

So realistically this is all you can do in this weather. 

Wear comfy socks & baggy shirts, drink tea and read magazines. And relax.

Pretty lush really. 

All items of clothing 'borrowed' from my mum (socks) and dad (shirt). Thanks guys!

THE PERFECT STORM

THE most incredible editorial by the wonder that is Amanda Shadforth aka OracleFox.

Beachy perfection. The hair. The swimmers. The bod. Just amazing. 

Making me want to run away to the seaside right away. 

Although in this country right now it probably wouldn't look anything like this! Nor would I look like that but a girl can dream right?!

ALMOST THE WEEKEND #3

This is all I want to be doing right now.

That water. Mmm.

And singing this epic anthem at the top of my voice is making me feel way better about the fact that I'm stuck in my room in rainy England revising for my exam in the morning.

This ones a proper gem.

MONDAY MOTIVATION #3

It's the start of exam week...!!!!!

Not excited about what is to come but luckily there's always a quote that will provide a few words of encouragement for this sunny Monday evening.

Thanks Samuel Beckett for the reminder that it's ok to fail...just maybe not in uni exams...oh well!

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

A SEMI TURBAN

My Liberty scarf.

I just can't get enough of it. And now that I've massively over worn it round my neck, I'm putting it round my head.

The lovely ladies in the Liberty scarf hall showed me various ways to style my scarf but this was defo my fav. 

The colours look really lush against my dark hair & its the perfect solution to a greasy hair day or just to brighten up a simple outfit.

Simply fold your scarf into a long rectangle, place on your neck, twist twice above your forehead and then bring it back round and tie in a knot against your neck.

If my explanation doesn't make sense at all just head over to the Liberty website where they have handy videos. Much easier.

ALMOST THE WEEKEND #2

Almost the weekend...thank goodness!

Although the weekend for me doesn't really exist at the moment because exams are getting ever closer.

This song by Klingande is perfect. Just perfect. 

The best road trip song as demonstrated in their awesome video and also just to kick back to, take a break from revision & imagine that I'm driving a V W Campervan down the West Coast of America.

Bliss.

Oh and also, so much sexy sax!! Love it.
