Denim Skirt and Orange Shirt.





Crop Top - Present (ASOS)
Skirt - Primark 
Belt - Vintage
Converse - Ebay 


Sorry these pictures are so dark, I tried to lighten them a tad but there is only so much photoshop can do with a bad picture. Safe to say I am starting to miss my camera. My camera was a pile of poop but at least it worked and my pictures were half decent. I'm thinking of getting a decent DSLR and actually spending a bit of money on it but endlessly browsing the internet is giving me a headache. Camera lingo is not my forte. 

On a brighter note, I'd like to admit my love for Thursdays. I love Thursdays because I have no classes and can enjoy the luxury of a lie in and today was no exception. I woke up naturally and enjoyed a cup of tea whilst people watching out of my balcony. I then headed off with my friend to a small market near me to pick up some fresh fruit and veg - and of course I couldn't live in France and not buy a baguette too. I've been to the market pretty much every week since getting here as it is ten times cheaper than the supermarkets and ten times nicer. One of the guys on the stall has even started giving me free parsley every time I go too.

This outfit is actually from a few days ago as I'm a little behind with my posting (sorry). This lovely little crop top was one of the first in my ever growing collection and I'm surprised it is still as good as new considering how much I bloody wore it. The denim skirt was a favourite for me this summer so I don't know why it has taken so long for it to get its 15 minutes of fame on my 'ere blog. Admittedly it is from Primark, which I do try to avoid for obvious reasons, but I knew it would be a perfect transitional piece from summer to autumn. I can't wait to pair it with jumpers and knee high socks. 

I will try to keep this blog more updated and my posts less sporadic. Hopefully by Christmas I will have a lovely new camera but until then my Iphone and photoshop will have to do. Hope you are all having a fab Thursday just like I am. 



If you listen to this song when you wake up your day is guaranteed to be good.

Dressing Like A Boy.






Levi's Vest - Vintage
T-Shirt - Ebay
Shirt - Vintage
Belt - Vintage
Jeans - Topshop
Doc Martins - Ebay

Yes I know I am wearing the same vest again, but it's one of those items that I have rediscovered and just cannot get enough of. This is what I wore when I was traveling down to Canterbury so they're a few days old (sorry). The weather looked pretty dismal up north so I thought layering was the best way to go. It was not. I had to ditch the Levi's vest before I ran out the door. However, whilst I was in Canterbury me and my boyfriend got caught in a torrential downpour on our walk back to his place. Safe to say we got soaked. I was wearing my Docs which much to my dismay got absolutely sodden. They're stuffed with newspaper at the moment the poor buggers. 

Currently I'm in the lovely Devon but tomorrow I embark on yet another 8 hour journey back to Canterbury. Dis ere is a tru friend. This is the furthest south I have ever been and I'm having a smashing time hanging out and exploring this corner of the country. I have scouted many a charity shop and scored many a bargain so I'll be sure to share those with you when I am back home. We found a charity shop that was everything for a £1, literally everything. I was like a child in a sweet shop. 


Childhood relived.

Jurassic Park.





Top - Primark
Skirt - Topshop
Belt - Vintage
Shoes (Creepers) - Ebay
Bag - Converse (Present)

So I actually wore this outfit on Monday when I traipsed around Leeds with my younger brother as he had a teacher training day. We needed to pick him up some new clothes as the boy is growing so damned fast I'm getting hand-me-downs from him! Wasn't a hugely successful shopping trip on my behalf but I did buy a delicious bath bomb and soap from Lush (oh how I love that place). 

When I was a kid I had two main historical interests: ancient Egypt and dinosaurs. Literally would spend all day reading books about dinosaurs and what not. Having said that, I remember hiding myself behind an arm chair at my neighbours house when we were watching Jurassic Park on video for the first time so I never actually saw the full film until years later. Nevertheless, Jurassic Park 1, 2 and 3 are now firm favourites. 

Anyway, point being, this top is awesome. I have worn this top to death and I only bought about 6 months ago. I will literally force it to go with everything, as you can see by my pairing it with a floral skirt. I got this skirt in the Topshop sale for a tenner or so but have only worn it on nights out as it has two slits up each side which you can't really see in the photos but nevermind. I thought that pairing it with a T-shirt and creepers (which you also can't see - bad photography skills) would tone the skirt down and make it a much more casual item. I want to start wearing this skirt casually a lot more so watch this space. 

Just want to say a huge thank you to anyone that's reading this blog and commenting/following. It's really rad, and you're rad. So thanks for being rad, haha. Do leave links to your blogs so I can check them out too and leave a cheeky comment! 




Because I think this song and video are fab.

Crazy Cat Lady.





Top - Primark
Skirt - Charity Shop in NZ
Belt - Vintage
Denim Jacket - Hand me down

Hello there! So I thought I'd just dive straight into this whole blogging lark with an outfit that I wore to town the other day. It was quite a muggy day so finding this denim jacket in my wardrobe was perfect. I've had this denim number for years and was my sister's before mine so it ain't doing too badly, bless. I paired it with my favorite go-to skirt which I picked up in a charity shop when I was in New Zealand last summer. The skirt was originally a weird calf length that I promptly chopped down. I left the edge raw and just sewed a straight stitch a quarter inch away from the edge just to stop it fraying all the way up my arse. The belt was an absolute steal at only £2 from a vintage shop in Leeds which is now sadly closed down. Anyway, lets just take a moment to appreciate this T-shirt... cos it is freaking awesome. It is, admittedly, from Primark which I do try my best to avoid but I just couldn't leave the shop without this top, especially as my friend said she'd buy it as part of my birthday present. It's also got a cat on it. And who doesn't love cats? 

Right, enough of a ramble. Hope I post on here again and it doesn't all go to pot like my last blog. Ha!

Here's something to tickle your ears:



Because 'oh intentions'.
