On The Go

At long last, I'm back. This super easy look was my outfit of choice for a quick trip to London. Heeled ankle boots that are comfy? Hell yes. Put it with skinny jeans, and white shirt (this River Island offering has sheer sleeve panels) and a navy coat, and I'm there. 

This past month has been hectic, to say the very least. My camera is still out of action, so my iPhone is my new best friend. Waiting for packages from the other side of the world sucks, man. I can't wait till I get this new camera part! I've just finished a huge school project that I've been working on since September though, so that's one less thing to think about. These next few months are going to be so, so important for me. I'm about to respond to my university offers and then it's revision, revision, revision. 

Anyone sensing a theme here? I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! 

Great Photos, Beauty and Writing #5

Great Photos, Beauty and Writing #5 by rubysterland on Polyvore

Great Photos- Shy Girl Loud Voice- Is It Spring Yet? I've been on the hunt for new blogs recently, and Kacie's style caught my eye straight away. I'm definitely partial to her mentality of 'If I want to wear it, I'll wear it'. I can't wait for the time when it's actually warm enough to wear gorgeous, floaty outfits like this. 

Great Beauty- Bon Vivants- The TMI Tag. Here's another discovery- Jessica's YouTube channel, Bon Vivants. I've spent a good while scrolling through her videos and have decided that I love her channel. Watch her TMI Tag video to get to know her a little better. (I can't wait for a chance to pull out that chat-up line...)

Great Writing- Scarphelia- Blogging vs. Real Life. This week's final discovery, thanks to a retweet on twitter. I identified with blogger Scarphelia's most recent post so much. Of course, our blogs only show certain parts of our characters and lives, and that's not something we should feel bad or apologetic about. We all need to keep a little bit of ourselves from the Internet, and props to you for speaking your mind so eloquently, Scarlett. 

Leave me links in the comments of any of your new blog discoveries! I look forward to your recommendations x

LFW AW14- People Watching & The Sartorialist

Last Sunday I spent the day in London with my cousin and fellow blogger Jodie. We started the day at Somerset House and managed to kill a good few hours people watching. I met the lovely Jen from A Little Bird Told Me, and spotted Gemma from What's In Her Wardrobe from afar. The highlight of my day has to have been meeting Scot Schuman, a street photographer and creator of The Sartorialist, a blog which is constantly inspiring what I wear. 

So here are a few snapshots from my morning- look out for a few pictures from the Topshop Unique show too, they're on their way! I'm still pinching myself and I can't say it enough- if you have a spare day and train tickets are ridiculously priced, then get your butt down to London! We had no plans for the day but just ambled around making it up as we went along, and I can't believe all the people I saw and even got the chance to have conversations with. 

Happy Monday, Everyone! 

Winter Winds

 

Silly me for thinking it was warm enough to roll up my jeans and were loafers.

Here's a 'what I'm wearing most days' kind of outfit to go with my last post- a 'how I'm painting my face on everyday' kind of thing, although I think I did phrase it slightly more eloquently last time. What can I say, I feel like school is burning me out slightly right now? Deadlines are looming so thank heavens next week is half term. Time to blitz through my ever-growing 'to-do' list.

Any twitter followers might know that I broke my one and only camera lens last weekend, and this is the only post that I had prepared. *applause* Until it's fixed I'm going to need to get all creative and improvise- oh how I love being kept on my toes... I have a few possible solutions with the worse-case scenario costing me £200, but let's not dwell on that because it brings a tear to my eye (and my bank account).

With that, I hope that your week has been slightly cheerier than mine (although that wouldn't be difficult), and I hope tomorrow is a great start to the week!
