If there's any justice in heaven, then God won't let me in.

sequin print top; ashish for topshop / leather pleated skirt; h&m / necklace; asos / rings; gifts ebay blah blah blah


Oh haiiii skirt that every blogger, their cute pug/kitten and their mum has! I bought the primark one before it exploded on the blogosphere too but hated the elasticated waistband so when I saw this one in H&M I had to pick it up, swear it was only £15/£20 as well so an absolute barg. It's scandalously short though, I've worn it on a few nights out and I've had to wear lace shorts under it - I always wonder if I do flash someone and I'm wearing my lace shorts, do you reckon they'd just think I was wearing massive pants?! I'd be so embarrassed if they did.

When I saw the Topshop New Gen tshirts I knew I had to get one, but I couldn't narrow it down so I ended up with this Ashish one and the Mary Katrantzou one as well. I keep trying to plan outfits with my Mary Katrantzou floral one but I'm finding it hard to not just play it safe with a black body con skirt, I wish I was as cool as Charlene so I could wear it with classed prints!

I went to the #LDNLUNCH event on Saturday and had such a good time meeting other bloggers there! I travelled up with Vicky whose blog you MUST avoid if you don't want to spend all your money on pretty jewellery! She was great company and hopefully we'll go to some more events together in the future :)! I met lots of the other girls too who were all lovely, I've definitely found some new daily reads from it! I will link them all once Sophie and Eloise post all of the links up - massive thank you to them for sorting it all out for us!

P.S. I have coined the term 'outfit blogger' for myself. I know nothing about fashion.

my smiling face that's on my head is on a silver plate.


I hate my hands.

animal drop tunic; topshop / aviator; topshop / belt; topshop / flatforms; asos / necklace; h&m / rings; eBay and gifts.


Got this dress/tunic with my friends topshop discount this week and I LOVE it. The colours are so hideous and clashy but amazing. I love this drop hem thing, I used to struggle so much to find it and only had a couple of pieces with it so I'm glad to see a few bits about with it now. I need to buy a new leather jacket, I have...6/7 but two have massive holes in and I just don't like my others. So tempted by this bad boy. I also really like this, I bet it vomits on the blogosphere (ha) in a week or so.

I absolutely HATE my hands in this picture and the nails are disgusting, I don't know what the hell made me do a french manicure, it looks grotesque - I'm sorry, it won't happen again guys! My rings make up for it though don't they? ;)

I don't have much else to say to be honest, had a shit week so I'm off for Mojitos! I hope your week has been much better - I'll be cheerful next time, I promise.

if we all don't take cover we're all gonna fall back in love, again.




cobweb top; topshop / bralet; topshop / leather aviator; topshop / cobalt blue midi skirt; forever21 / glitter 'litas'; eBay / jewellery; same as always


Ok ok, so I didn't really wear these shoes out, but how else would I ever get to show you these beauties? They are so ridiculously high I have no idea if I'll ever wear them because I can't walk in them - any tips for stupidly high heels?! They're currently sitting pretty on my chest of drawers. I found them on eBay for £30, absolute bargain!

I found this midi in Forever21 for I dunno, like £16 I think? I never thought I'd wear a midi but after the encouragement I got for my topshop leopard midi I had to give this a go. I don't think it's the most flattering on my thunder thighs, but I love that it's layered and goes shorter in the middle. If I had any money I'd definitely be purchasing a skirt like this one here. A brand which has really caught my eye recently is Reverse - they have so many gorgeous pieces and now I'm expanding my hemlines, or rather, elongating them (word?!), I really fancy getting one of their dresses, this one and this one has really caught my eye. I've spent far too much money though since the stunning Audrey over at Frassy introduced me to Nelly. I bought these, these, these and this, and come pay day these beauties will be mine too - kicking myself for not including them in my order, because I hate paying postage so I know I'll end up spending another 75Euro so I get the free delivery! (I'll probably get this!)

This is also my entry into the LG 6 Motion Give us a Spin Competition via etcLlymlrs! When I saw the picture on the right I thought the skirt embodied the movement the competition called for so I had to enter - with the gorgeous blue colour it really reminded me of water too. Fingers crossed!

Today I'm spending my day watching Season 4 of Breaking Bad, followed by Marcel Carne's 'Le Quai Des Brumes', Truffaut's 'Les Quatre Cents Coups' and Jean-Jacques Beineix's 'Diva'. I'm SO not as sophisticated as that makes me sound.


P.S. Just found these dresses from inlovewithfashion - NEED! I could dress it down with a chunky black jumper during the day too. Hurry up pay day!

and we just want to sleep.





'glamorous' lace dress; meemee.com / cream fur coat; miss selfridge / studded belt; topshop / curved cross earrings; topshop / flatforms; asks / rings; ebay/gifts.


This little outfit is what I wore on Wednesday when I saw my absolute favourite band, Brand New, for the second time in a week. I saw them in Manchester last week and I saw them at the O2 in Birmingham on Wednesday and it was just incredible. I was up in the balcony so I got to see everything and I was just so mesmerised and happy to be there, and just massively appreciative of the band - I'm all gushy about them now! I've loved them for almost a decade now and I pretty much listen to them exclusively (note the majority of my post titles...!) I'm absolutely terrified they're going to announce that they're over at the end of this tour (tonight I think) because they didn't play any new songs and they haven't had a new album for three years. I think I've seen them 6/7 times now, they are just incredible live. I think I've typed too much about this...

On to the primary (and only) focus of this blog, my outfit. This gorgeous dress is by one of the many brands at MeeMee.com. I was introduced to this website by El (click for her tumblr which has some of her incredible styling on!) and it wasn't long before I'd put in an order. They stock loads of different brands, tonnes which I'd never heard of before, and are soon going to have Mink Pink on there (an absolute favourite of mine), they just started stocking Finders Keepers and I really love this playsuit by Motel. Do not go on this website if you're poor like me! Anyway, I really love the shape of this dress, and because of the fully lace top half you can wear it a few different ways and make the dress completely unique. I've tried it with a nude bralet and a black bralet (like I've worn here) but you could put a strapless bra with it like the team at MeeMee styled it, or I think you could play with some colour like a gorgeous deep purple, plum or crimson bra/bralet (braletbraletbralet) As always, I teamed it with my trusty studded belt - my primark ones I've had for years are starting to fall apart so I had to invest in this little number; at £22 it was a lot steeper than my £1 efforts!

I also have a little story about this coat! I saw it on the 'last chance to buy' rail around the time a lot of coats had gone in the sale in the Arcadia group; it hadn't been marked down from £89, but I made out to the assistant that I'd seen it on the website reduced so she'd check the price for me and yay! It was £59! Plus I had a 25% off deal (read; a very kind friend who works there!) so I ended up paying less than half the original price! I love it so much, although I've found it quite hard to wear; I feel like I can only wear it with all black, any suggestions?

I've become obsessed with 90210, so the rest of my day will entail me finishing off season 4 - I hadn't ever seen it until a couple of weeks ago; the lovely and beautiful Alix has been enjoying my 'vintage 90210' tweets - NICK CANNON IS IN HER HOTEL ROOM?! and OH. MY. GAY. are probably favourites ;)

just realised how much I've written about meemee; genuinely not a sponsored post, they just have a lot of great items and great customer service too!

we have neither the plans nor disguises



coat; forever21 / shirt; vintage / leggings; eBay / flatforms; asos / necklace; h&m / earrings; topshop/ lipstick; estee lauder plum couture.

need to acknowledge the state of my hands; I'm not self harming, it's my kitten! stop with the formspringzzz


Hii! I'm a bad blogger aren't I? I swear that's all I ever type in my posts. I had some personal stuff I had to sort out which is why I've been absent of late, plus, I just find I don't have time when I'm at uni. I'm always hungover or napping, sorry! I am SO grateful to have hit 550 followers already though, that's more than one new subscriber every day this year! So thank you for following and sticking with my sporadic ways :)! (are smiley faces blog appropriate? probably not...)

So, I got this coat in Forever21 a fair few weeks ago. I saw it was a small and tried it on, but it was huge. I fell in love with the oversized sort of 90s look about it though (I've had a lot of This is England comments...) and it wasn't until I'd been wearing it for a fortnight that I realised it was a mans coat; oops. If anything though, it's taught me to shop in mens section more often; this was only £12.99 in the sale! I adore my flatforms which I got with a 25% discount code on ASOS; can't stop wearing them! They're just like the Office ones I've been lusting after since I saw the beautiful Charlene wearing hers, but I couldn't afford the hefty price tag, so I'm dead pleased ASOS answered my wishes for a pair; in suede too, my favourite material.

OH HAIIII DISCO PANTS! Not really lolz. Everyone's going mad for them, and although I do like them, I don't know where the sudden hype has come from? They've been around for literally about ten years. I've had these eBay versions for probably a year now (still available via LetsParty, I also have the burgundy and lilac (!) ) but I never wear them as I tend to only wear tights and skirts, but I do really like these with my flatforms. I've worn this outfit three times this week; that's gross isn't it? But it's just so easy to throw on. I actually have three pairs of leggings on here and two long sleeved tops under that shirt, so it's surprisingly cosy. I can see myself teaming more longer tops with leggings from now on - but don't worry; I will NOT be sporting that leggings as trousers look any time soon. Anyway, I'm boring myself. Hope everyones uni results are going well! I get mine a week today, nervous! Oh and if you're a real person and work; HEY WEEKEND :D!

when I arrive, I won't know anyone.



tiger print top; missguided / bodycon skit; topshop / glittery slippers; topshop / fashionology twig cross necklace / 100$ bill nails; eBay / lipstick; lord&berry in Vogue; Black Red.


Hadn't planned on blogging, but I'm doing ANYTHING to avoid revision. I got this top about two weeks ago; I haven't really ordered with missguided, I often find their clothes are a bit tacky and there's too much bodycon for a chubster like me, so I've always been put off. I don't know what made me go on there but there's quite a few nice bits on there at the moment, and this top was only a tenner! And I really love it, I love the print and the shape; I ordered s/m for anyone wanting a size guide, I reckon m/l could be a dress on anyone my sort of height (5'3 I think?) I also got some leopard print leggings (ME?!) and some wet look ones since my old ones are in tatters. The quality isn't too bad, the stitching is coming away on the hem of this top but nothing my sewing machine can't fix!

Had good and bad times with Mr Postman this week; the good was, my Brand New tickets came! I'm seeing them twice, I've seen them four times now, and they are just incredible. I can't wait for February! Anybody else going? The bad post was my huge amazon order! I ordered 18 books with my birthday money, some I've wanted for ages, some for uni, some for fun (damnyouautocorrect and the hangover cookbook ha!) and the stupid idiot at Yodel has listed it as delivered 10 days ago, and left in 'Porch' - I DON'T HAVE A BLOODY PORCH! I'm so annoyed because I know it'll take ages to sort out, I hate Yodel, they're customer service is terrible. Don't use them ladies!

My poor kitten has been chewing her tail so much (she chases it like a dog the silly thing) that it's got all infected, yuk! I had to put a cone on her head and she absolutely hated it - see here. She was so grumpy, she had it on for three hours then I couldn't bare it any more. I'll probably try again tomorrow so I can put some more cream on her, I feel so cruel though! She's also turning grey and chocolatey brown now - she was black and white! How weird is that?

I've had a huge Flickr clear out this evening (which made me realise that my flickr registers the date that I take the photos off my camera as the date I've taken them? So now I look like I have weird little fashion shows on my own. I don't. I wore this last Thursday if anyone was wondering.) Flickr was trying to make me pay, so I ended up deleting a load of images, and then realised they wouldn't show on here any more if I'd deleted them; doh! So I had to delete some posts. I now have only 25 posts, what on earth?! I know I didn't have much more, but still, am I that sporadic a blogger? Must. Try. Harder. I've even got another post lined up for the end of the week wearing....A MIDI DRESS?! I dunno what's happening to me. Look at me, rambling purely so I don't have to revise for my exam in erm, 36 hours. If any of you have exams, good luck!

dream in japanese




vest top; h&m / shorts; topshop / cardigan; staple / necklace; topshop / studded hobo bag; maison du posh / hilda shoes; miista


Say 'hello' to my beautiful new bag! If you follow me on twitter, you're probably bored of hearing about it, but I absolutely adore it. I spied it with my sister in Selfridges a few days ago, and I thought I'd have a little look, but never dreamed that I'd leave the shop with it! I should have photographed them really, but basically, it was missing 4 studs (which you absolutely can't tell) so instead of being £695, it was massively reduced! I decided that because I fell so, so in love with it, and I've never felt such buttery soft leather, I should buy it with some of my 21st birthday money, and I'm so glad that I did! Aside from the miserable sales assistant (why do they assume that everyone is poor? I am poor, but please don't insult me you horrible cow!) who I really hope doesn't get ANY commission ever.

The shorts are new too; I picked them up in Topshop the same day while I was at the Trafford centre after having them on my wish list for a while. I rarely wear shorts, especially not ones this short, and I know they're really not flattering AT all on my shape, but I just love the pattern. They have some ruffles over the pockets too, and these are the FIRST shorts to ever fit my waist properly - they're usually far too low cut or too big if they fit my bum! Such a pain.

And lastly, these beautiful shoes, which fit like a glove and are of AMAZING quality cost me guess how much? £1. ONE ENGLISH POUND. How you're asking? Because the crazy people at Miista decided to do a sale whereby people tweet about the shoe they want to be cheaper, and based on their Klout score, they knock a percentage off! The sale ends on Friday so hurry up and get tweeting while you can! My flatmate and I are after these gorgeous wedges after seeing them on the Topshop website - so feel free to tweet for us ;)

I also have to acknowledge that I've hit over 500 GFC readers! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate every single face that pops up on there and your comments make my day :) I can't believe my blog is barely a year old, I feel like it has come so far for such a crap, sporadic blogger like myself. Must. Try. Harder. Thank you to all of you, old readers and new, for taking the time to read my blog :)

and I've never felt so alive in the whole of my life




fluffy knitted cape; staple / cobalt blue t-shirt; forever21 / studded slippers; topshop / arrow necklace and studded bracelet; forever 21 / 'gothic' bracelet; pilgrim / citrine earrings; fashionology / rings; various
Please excuse the flash - it's too dark to get natural light.

Firstly; WOW. Thank you so much for all of the lovely comments on my last post. I'm actually a really rubbish blogger when it comes to commenting, I get a bit embarrassed about what to say (how daft!) But I've recently started to leave them when I visit a blog because, as a blogger, I know how nice it is to receive comments and a bit of recognition for the efforts we all put into a blog post. I'm hoping to keep up my commenting sprees - plus, I've found so many gorgeous bloggers with enviable wardrobes through my commenting sprees! And it may have helped me get slightly closer to my 500 follower aim for Christmas New Year!

These are a few new buys again, another piece of cobalt blue! This is a dead basic t-shirt from Forever21, but it's such good quality! It's that really gorgeous silky jersey which feels so much more expensive than it was - wish I'd bought a black and white one now! I paired it with my new necklace to add a bit more interest - another piece I can't stop wearing. I usually only wear real silver because I get so annoyed when costume jewellery tarnishes, but I had to make an exception for this beauty (and my bracelets in this post!) My favourite part of this outfit has to be my new cardigan! It's by Staple and I've wanted it for absolutely ages. When I was given my birthday money, and it had been reduced, I just knew I had to get it. I've already had 6 compliments on it and I've only worn it out twice - and once was just to get petrol! I can see this being worn to death.

I adore these earrings which are rough pieces of Citrine and, if like me you love knowing the meanings of crystals, is associated with the mind and psychic powers. I have lots of different crystal jewellery and I honestly do feel that they work - I've worn my health crystal throughout this past semester and not been ill once! And we all know how sickly I was last year...! I'm rarely seen wearing matching earrings, in my other ear I have a feather and a bird skull necklace. These were all gifts over my birthday from my best friends and flatmates. I can't stop wearing them and I'm amazed that they chose them as they are absolutely perfect for me, and I'm notoriously difficult to buy for! I also got €100 in vouchers for Fashionology for my birthday so now I'm spoilt for choice! I'm thinking of buying these, this and this, although I might wait until their new designs which will no doubt arrive in the spring!

I've babbled again haven't I? This really will be my last post until after Christmas, so I hope you all get exactly what you want and eat loads and loads like I will be! Thank you again to all of my new followers for helping me to reach my target, I really appreciate it. If you do any Christmassy posts with wish lists or what you get, post them in the comments because I'd love to see! Merry Christmas :)!

sing me to sleep




blue blazer; forever21 / Morrissey t-shirt; my boyfriend's / velvet skirt; topshop / creepers; miss selfridge / spike necklace; asos / studded bracelet; forever21 / cuff; pilgrim / rings; eBay/fashionology/gifted

I've finally finished uni for Christmas, so hopefully I'll have a bit more time for blogging. This term has been really difficult, especially when I've had my kitten distracting me! My flatmate and I decided to go to Birmingham as a little goodbye trip before we went home for the holidays and I finally got to go to Forever21! I spent far too much of my birthday money on a few things you'll no doubt be seeing on here soon. I know this is dead boring but I was so surprised by the customer service too! I was struggling to reach something and a really nice lady came over and helped me, and she continued to help and ask if I needed anything the whole time I was in the store - which was ages! I find that good customer service in high street shops a rarity, which is always really off putting when you want to spend your hard earned cash and there's a miserable cow being bitchy, but this girl really put so much effort into being dead lovely and I really appreciated it. I even rang up and told the manager how good she was! I swear I'm actually meant to be middle aged.

Can you believe it - I'm wearing a colour that isn't a berry tone! I love cobalt blue! It's one of those shades that I think suits every skin tone, and it fits perfectly into my predominantly black wardrobe. I find it dead difficult choosing blazers because the fit has to be just right, and I love this fitted but at the same time loosely cut style - does that even make sense?

I love this t-shirt too, it has a picture of Morrissey getting his hair cut on it - my boyfriend goes mad because I keep stealing it! I got these creepers ages ago in the Miss Selfridge sale for about £20 I think. I haven't worn them much because I thought they made my feet look dead big, but I really like them with this outfit. They're really comfy too, so maybe they'll get a few more outings in the future!

If I don't blog before Christmas, have a lovely day! We're going out for our Christmas dinner again this year which I love, we get all dressed up and don't have to worry about washing up! I hope they do Champagne sorbet like last year - it's so good! I'm getting so fat this winter, but I keep saying it's because I need the extra insulation...!

- I had aimed to get 500 blog followers by Christmas day...that isn't happening! Maybe I'll extend it to New Year just in time for my blogiversary! Though that's still ambitious!

Drinking champagne from a paper cup.





brown faux fur double breasted coat; topshop / dalmation print shoes; topshop / rings; fashionology and eBay.

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago but I completely forgot to post them! This is another one of my new fur coats. It went in the sale for £68, and I actually only ended up paying £18 for it because I had an exchange and also signed up for an Outfit credit card just so I could get the £20% off! I really love it. It's completely different to my black fur so I felt like I could justify it - this one has a real vintage 'car coat' feel about it! And it's brown...although that's pretty axiomatic!

I've included some extra pictures in today's post because, HOW strange are they? I love how they turned out but it was completely unintentional. When I imported them they just ended up like this, I really panicked that I'd broken something! I recently came across Dan Mountford's work with double exposures (I know these pictures aren't the same thing!) and I absolutely love them. I'm doing a photography module again next semester so I hope that I can do something inspired by him.

It was my 21st birthday yesterday! I got thoroughly spoilt and I've still got presents from my family to come! I might have to be really self indulgent and dedicate a whole post to birthday shenanigans! For those of you who don't know, I am a twin, but my beautiful sister (we're non-identical, I'm aware that comes across massively arrogant for those who don't know us!) lives in Surrey at Uni so I couldn't spend the day, as I always have, with her. I also had loads of work due in so, apart from the evening (another day, another blog...) it just felt like any other day. This weekend will be our real birthday, Rosie is coming to my house on Friday and we're spending the evening at something called Winterfest - it's effectively Keele Univeristy's winter ball but a lot messier! Then Saturday we'll be visiting family - and she's being spoilt rotten! I can't wait to see her face when she get's her presents :) Wow, I think this is possibly THE most self indulgent post (the irony) of my entire blog - which evidently, turns 1 soon!

I'm absolutely shattered now, so I'm going to watch The Shining (I'm terrified already) with my flatmates and gorge on Eton Mess! Hope everyone's uni assessments are going ok - it'll be Christmas soon!

P.S. Did I really put 'shenanigans' in my blog? Dear lord.

we'll spin around the planets like a satellite.






lace blazer; river island (old) / floral skater skirt; topshop / black long sleeved top; my flatmate's / studded belt; primark / studded vectra slippers; topshop / nails; models own juicy joules

I’m going back to my 2,000 word essay now, boo! It’s about femininity in film and I wish the word count was 5,000, I have far too much to say! Hope you’ve all had a lovely lazy Sunday!

Just give up the ghost and let it be. Just give up the ghost and let it be.


Just give up the ghost and let it be.


Just give up the ghost and let it be.


textured faux fur coat; topshop / shirt; vintage / cross necklace; primark / vault glitter shoes; topshop / nails; avon matte red and matte blue.


I wore this some time last week, but seeing as I'm such a sporadic blogger, I never got around to posting it. My mum bought me (and my twin sister!) this coat when we went shopping recently! It's my Christmas present so don't go thinking I'm spoilt, but it felt really nice to try something on without even thinking for a second that it could be mine, and being spoilt on the spot! Finally, a winter I won't freeze through!

I got this shirt a while ago but I forgot all about it, I really love it. It's huge on me but I love the oversized, iliterallyjustthrewthison look it has. The shoes just add a little bit of sparkle a dull winter calls for! This sounds well silly I know but this outfit makes me feel like I'm a dead rich Hollywood film star - note the red lips ha! I think this will be one of my most worn combinations this winter. I rarely wear the same combination more than once but I really like this and I can definitely see me wearing this at least once a week to uni!

It's my 21st well soon, help me find a dress, please?!

P.S. Don't blame me if this makes your heart melt!

Sorry these images lack continuity in lighting etc, we messed up the settings on the camera and I am too tired to edit them properly!

HELLO! So sorry it's been forevs, I've been shattered since freshers, it absolutely ruined me. Three years doing it and I should know better - had to leave my first lecture to throw up I was so hungover, I was so embarassed. The worst bit? It was this image that induced it in my Gender in Cinema module, so horrible! Anyway, vomiting aside, I'm loving being back at uni but I completely forgot how hectic it was! So no doubt my blogging will be sporadic as ever, apologies in advance!

I love this skirt, I bought it a few days ago and then the beautiful Lily posted an outfit including hers. I love how she wore hers with a jumper over it and I will definitely be trying it soon for uni! One of my favourite things about blogging is seeing how many different ways people wear the same piece!

I'm a little bit obsessed with leather at the moment, I bought this gorgeous dress from Missguided the other day and can't wait to wear it. I think I could wear this in the day with the cardigan I've got on in these pictures, because it's so big (I double sized up! I love massive cardigans at the moment) it would dress it down a bit. I also bought a bodycon black leather dress from h&m the other day. I have no idea why because it looks like fetish wear, but then Maria tweeted me saying I could wear it with a jumper over the top, a look I've since tried and LOVE, and I'll be so cosy in the winter!

Anyway, I should be getting to bed really because I've got a 9-5 day tomorrow (who said Media was a doss course? Holla!) and then I'm giving blood later, I can't wait to give blood as I've wanted to for so long but whenever I've gone to the drop in centre there's always a huge wait. I managed to get an appointment this time and I'm going to register to donate bone marrow soon too. You never know who your close to that may need these things, and as I suffer with bad kidneys, you never really know what's around the corner so I hope this brings me a bit of good karma, cos God knows I need it!

I hope you're all well and you enjoyed your freshers and are settling into uni well! I found that a lot of people left me formspring messages about starting uni and if you want me to help you with anything like, how to get your messy/loud flatmate to sort it out, feel free to contact me there and I'll do my best to help!

gypsies, tramps and thieves.








cardigan; topshop / studded flats; topshop / baggy black vest; h&m / snake print skirt; mutinous daze / jewellery; various

Charlene O'Rourke from Strutt is one of my favourite blogs. I've been reading it for about two years now and she's one of those bloggers whose wardrobe you just need and adore. She has such an amazing refined style, and this mixed with her talent for making beautiful items of clothing results in perfect pieces that will fit into everyones wardrobe easily. I bought this snake print skirt from her around a week ago and received it the next day! I put it on straight away and I just loved it. It's the perfect shape and I love the sheer material. I've worn a black bodycon skirt under it here, and I can't wait to team it with my lace trimmed cycle shorts.

I've since bought a dalmatian print skirt from Charlene's Etsy page and unfortunately for you, it has now sold out! However, she has a lovely polka dot version and a sheer one too which I think would look gorgeous layered over burgundy. They're priced at a well-worth-it £20 and are really good quality and so well made. I know these skirts will be a staple in my wardrobe for a few years yet! I can't wait for her to add new stock to the page - although Mr Lloyds TSB would prefer it if she didn't!

I'm moving into my new flat today so I'll have to leave it there, I hope you have a lovely day and I'll blog as soon as freshers week is over!
