Pretty in Pink

Jacket-Matalan, Top & Sunglasses & Bag-Primark, Jeans-Miss Selfridge, 
Shoes-Clarks, Lipstick-MAC (Shade Snob)

Summer is here in England but unfortunately the sun hasn't arrived with it. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration but for us English folk there is no jacket-free time of the year. Im always on the hunt for a nice summer jacket, so when I spotted this pink Audrey Hepburn style jacket on sale in Matalan, I didn't hesitate & bought it. I'm also loving monochrome with a slight splash of colour recently & what better colour to incorporate into Summer than pale pink. 

I went for simple black jeans turned up with some black patent pumps- I was off for a wander around town & wanted to maximise comfort so opted for flats.  I then paired that with the Matalan Jacket, a monochrome stripy tee & a small black bag with slight gold detailing. The accessories are minimal as I didn't want to overpower the stripes, similar to the makeup with just a pale pink lip to compliment the jacket. 

Hope you enjoyed this post, make sure to comment below if you did!

Where Have I Been?

BAD BLOGGER ALERT!! Okay, I should probably explain where on earth I have been since last year. I have no excuse as to why I have been an absent blogger, except I have simply been too busy. I have recently finished four subjects at AS level and at last I have completed all coursework and exams (praise the lord)! I've wanted to get back into the swing of blogging for a while now but I didn't know whether I should explain my absence or simply create a new post. Well now you know, I have not fallen off the face of the earth but fallen under piles and piles of college work. Nonetheless I am back with a new blog name and ready to blog!

This post is quickly becoming the world's most boring blog post, so to brighten things up a bit I'm going to let you in on whats happened in my life these past months. On the 12th November 2013 my boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary, then 6 days later experienced the best night of our lives together when we saw Arctic Monkeys perform in Sheffield on their AM tour. We were standing only five rows back so obviously got pushed around a lot, but it was all part of the experience and I can't wait to do it all again at Leeds fest later this year. Alex Turner please marry me. A few days after Christmas, I visited my favourite place on earth-London with my dad and it was amazing. My bank balance was definitely damaged over those few days. In the midst of hectic college work my friends and I did manage the time to party into the new year and then continue to party throughout 2014 (there are perks of a student life).

At the beginning of April this year I visited London with my mum and once again my bank balance took a pounding. We went to Portobello Market, Camden Market, Ripley's Believe it Or Not and genuinely every time I go I become more and more determined to move there. More recently my mum decided she wanted to buy a new house (which we get the keys for tomorrow eek) so to go with the new house we bought a little puppy and named him Phil. He is honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen and I can not explain how much I love him. Finally, I celebrated my 17th birthday on the 19th May and was very spoilt by my friends and family, a 'What I Got For My Birthday' post is soon to come.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and forgive me for being so absent. Look out for lots of new posts in the near future as I have lots of exciting ideas!
