A new beginning!

I've deleted my old posts because they're so old now I didn't feel they were up to a standard I'd like! So call this a fresh beginning around 5 months after I abandoned this thing.
Sorry about that - the abandoning this blog for 5 months, I mean! I actually feel very guilty about that seeing as how there are so many looks up on lookbook now that I've been unable to talk about on here!
Shame, but nevertheless I've decided to fix it and start blogging again.
Largely, actually, because I've finished college for the year now so I'll have more free time rather than worrying about revision.

So here it is, a round up of my latest lookbook looks!
Jumper: New Look
Dress: Topshop
Bag: Primark
T-Bars: Peacocks

I was actually ridiculously surprised by the feedback this received! I was contacted by a French Fashion magazine asking if they could use it in a streetstyle moodboard!
I have such a love for collars at the moment, I do not own enough clothes with collars on them. I might invest in some more when I have the money.
I'm also in love with coral/salmon shades at the moment as you can tell from my nails. That's a shade called Peach Melba by Barry M and I am absolutely obsessed by Barry M nail polish. I swear it just doesn't chip. I've been trying to find a lipstick in a similar shade and failing, but realised I own a cream blusher in the right colour so I've been using that until I find the right lipstick!


Jumper - Borrowed from my Gran
Shirt - Topshop
Trousers - Topshop
Brogues - Primark

Ignore the socks! I have a lack of sensible socks to wear with things like this, it's something I really ought to buy more of.
As I said before, I have such a love of collars and coral at the moment and managed to find a way to combine both here! (Or Topshop found a way to combine it for me, but the sentiment remains.)



Breton top - River Island
Pink Jeans - A gift from my Gran (but I think they were primark)
Headscarf - Accessorize
Sunglasses - Primark (£2!)

I've been wanting a pair of pink jeans for so long, and then yesterday my gran bought me a pair as a gift after she heard I was planning on pulling out bleach and pink dye on a pair of blue jeans in my frustration at being unable to afford any at the moment! She really is quite lovely!
Turns out they're actually capris, but I'm so short they fit as full length jeans - although rolled up here because... well because I could, really. Because rolled up jeans and brogues are a good look in my opinion!

    I think I'm lucky in that it's naturally thick if I'm honest! I just use a mousse while it's damp then let it dry naturally. No other styling than that! :)

    You upload the images somewhere and put the html code in the image description. So like
    < img src=' [image url] '/>
    (without the spaces obviously, but it won't let me write it here without them!
