No outfit post today, as I'm back to study, so instead here are my favourite bras. When it comes to underwear I can't stand anything stiff or constricting (I'd buy men's boxers if they fit me) so lightweight lace and silk bras are a favourite of mine. These two are particularly beautiful, perfect fo…

The Birds and the BeesThe Birds and the Bees

Yesterday was gloriously sunny, and seemed like the perfect occasion to wear my big straw hat. It's actually been in my wardrobe for years, but has been neglected over the past while. I wore this to Not Saying Boo, in the Bernard Shaw and on to the afterparty (minus the hat, of course), both of whic…

HairHair

After my makeup post a little while ago, I started getting questions about my hair, and thought this would be the best way of answering them. So this is what I use:- Redken Extreme shampoo: I use this if my hair's feeling particularly weak. - Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor: This stuff is grea…

The shoot was based on brights, and also features fantastic bloggers such as Anouska and Becky, as well as model Vogue. Unfortunately I o…

Peekaboo.Peekaboo.

Today I wanted something sheer, with lots of different layers to it, that would be a little more complex than normal layering, and this is what I ended up with. This is actually a black version of the Primark dress I posted about here, put with a sheer chiffon shirt, a longline bra, and lace cycle s…

Cats in SinksCats in Sinks

My bathroom, with it's Easter colours, was perfect. I can't help but think of Cats In Sinks.This neon t-shirt, along with a few other little goodi…

As lovely as it was, unfortunately someone attempted (and failed) to break into our house while we were gone.Robbers, if you follow me, I am so on to you. Aran sweater - knitted by my lovely Grandmother Playsuit (under…

It's RainingIt's Raining

So here I am, cooped up inside while it's all wet and humid outside. There's not much else to do on days like these but try to get some study done. I can't help but be bothered by something else recently too - when does inspiration cross the boundary into plagiarism? Is it ok for bloggers to steal w…

I've wanted to do double denim for a while, but could never bring myself to like the denim shirt/jacket and jeans look, so I guess this is my compromise. It's also somewhat 1940s inspired. Excuse me for looking so tired, I didn't sleep until roughly 7.30am this morning for no obvious reason. No fun.…

Collegiate.Collegiate.

I almost didn't buy this sweatshirt as I had my mind set on a grey marl version from Topshop, but when I found them to be sold out I settled on this, and I've come to realise that I absolutely adore this shade of blue. I'm also glad this one's thin enough to be able to tuck into things. I've also ta…

Minnie.Minnie.

I've had this dress for years, and never stopped loving it - the way it flows, the little sleeves, the ruffle detail, the print, colours and material. It works in summer and in winter too - my perfect dress. The big tulle bow was in no way inspired by Minnie Mouse, but it occurred to me now that it …

Sunday Catch-UpSunday Catch-Up

  - Happy Sunday everyone. I'm not doing too bad at blogging regularly again, though I'll have to start studying for my exams on Monday so we'll see if I can keep it up. - I strongly considered dropping out of college, but I think the best thing to do is just finish the degree. It does feel like a w…

Simple structure.Simple structure.

This kind of outfit is one of my favourites - it's very minimal, with no accessories (ok, I'd probably throw on my watch because I can't function without it) and a small unexpected touch, in this case the drop armhole. Overall the effect is slouchy, but the chinos stop it from becoming sloppy. I def…
