I'm a little bit shy, a bit strange and a little bit manic.



Religion 'Thelma' jacket / leopard print top; h&m / skirt; topshop / vectra shoes; topshop / jewellery; various.


Firstly, HOW pleased am I that the new Blink 182 album leaked?! Hi 13 year old fan girl inside me going crazy for Travis. And Mark. And Tom. Could never choose! 

I bought this Religion jacket off ASOS last week and I fell in love with the arms of it. I love fitted arms on jackets, and this one has shoulder pads too which I feel balance out my pear shape - we'll ignore the fact my boyfriend said that it looks like a bin bag!

I don't have loads to say today as all I've been doing really is working. I'm so envious of everyone who got to be in London for Fashion Week but I've been enjoying looking at all the shows - it makes me sad though because I will never be able to afford such beautiful things! I'm also obsessing over the new Topshop Unique pieces, although the main pieces I wanted (not that I could afford them!) have sold out now such as the stunning dalmatian print shirt. I've got dalmatian print crazy recently with my shoes here, and I've bought these dalmatian print shoes and a dalmatian print skirt made by Charlene. 

I can never remember what I've said on my blog, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating. Over summer I've had a huge reading list as I was changing my course at Keele University from Media with Film Studies to English with Film Studies. This was a huge move for me because I've always loved media, all aspects, and always wanted to work in the media. I also never studied English at A-Level and have (or had, now, I hope!) a bare minimum knowledge in the subject. However, after working this summer I found that I had a bit of a flair for visual merchandising and making displays. I have always admired shop windows, staring at the outfits put together in stores but never really knowing who did it and certainly not realising that people actually did that as a career! So, long story short, I've cancelled the English switch and I'm sticking with Media and Film because after looking online that course seems more suitable. I'd love to start over and study an advertising course but I've already quit uni once so can't afford to restart for a third time! I'm on the hunt for some work experience now and hopefully I'll get to where I want to. In the mean time, any advice would be amazing! 

Sorry to ramble! I hope you're all enjoying the weekend and if you're one of the lucky few going into their first year at uni - you're going to have the best year ever! I wish I was going into my first year again! Good luck!

  4. You look lovely, I love the outfit, especially the jacket!!
    I'd give you advice, if I knew any! Apparently the first year doesn't really add to the course anyway, and it's just to get everybody up to the same boat, that's all I know! xx
