This outfit is a mix of items that I recently bought in the sales. I should probably wear my hair up when I wear this jacket because it has such gorgeous detailing around the neck. I realised I was missing a good white shirt, and this one from Next is made out of amazing material that hangs so nicely, I had to get it. I bought the jeans in Spain for €8 which is incredible. I really wanted a black and white striped pair but I've seen way too many girls in them, so the red adds some much needed colour to my wardrobe.

These were taken near the beach so there was a high chance my hat was going to fly into the water behind me, hence me holding it so much. I wanted a coat exactly like this last winter but couldn't find on anywhere, when I saw this in Mango it was like they'd designed exactly what I wanted in my head! Thought I'd keep my glasses on for these photos since they matched the look quite well. Also how good is my new iPhone back?! I changed the glass so now I have an orange phone - fabulous.

Army jackets have been seen around everywhere lately, but I didn't want to spend loads on one from the likes of Zara, so when I saw this one on its own in a random little boutique while on holiday I had to have it. Decided to wear it a bit differently than the normal rock chick way so I went with pink! I adore these shoes but haven't wore them near enough since its always rainy here. I also won this Free People cuff from Tina's blog, so pleased!

These were taken just before I left for Spain. When I saw these shoes on ASOS for £16 I couldn't resist - bargain! Since it was still quite warm I paired them with clashing shorts and my new H&M jumper. I can't believe I've not worn these sunglasses on the blog before either, they're huge and basically look like i'm trying to be John Lennon, but I love them. Hope everyone's having a good week!

11 questions asked by Tasha:


1.Who is your favourite designer? I love Acne, Isabel Marant and Rag & Bone
2. Why did you start to write a fashion blog? I adore dressing up, and my friend and I used to say how all our great outfits go to waste because no-one sees them! When i joined university they suggested we start blogs, and that's when I realised I had an outlet.
3. Who are your favourite fashion bloggers? I love so many! But my favourites are 5 inch and up, Fashion Vibe and Late Afternoon.
4. What is your dream job? I'd love to be a fashion buyer. Since i've just graduated i'm hoping i can get into it as soon as possible!

6. Your favourite book? The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (go read it now!)
7. How old are you? 21
8. Lipstick or gloss? This is hard since I always forget to put on either! But probably lipstick since the times I do put on gloss its windy.
9. The most beautiful place you have ever visited? Probably has to be when I holidayed in Comino, a tiny island off Malta that has 1 hotel and takes about 2 hours to walk around the whole island. I've never seen water so blue! Although I did get stung by a jelly fish - swings and roundabouts. 
10. Your fashion role model? I love Olivia Palermo and Kate Bosworth, and the Olsen twins laid back look. 
11. Describe your perfect day. Gosh I really don't know.. probably a fun day out with my boyfriend, a lovely dinner and then cocktails with my girls. Oh and shopping has to be in there somewhere.
