Friday Pinterest Favourites // 17.10.2014

Pinterest has become my new little obsession and I cannot stop pinning everything and anything!  So to support this unhealthy new hobby, I thought I'd put it to good use and get a post out every Friday! :-) Here are some Pins that caught my eye this week:

Encore FM

My favourite thing to do recently is try new things and keep busy, as well as settling into my new house and starting my second year at University, I recorded a radio show with an old friend of mine, Rob Welland for his station Encore FM.

I loved the whole process, I didn't even cringe very much listening back to myself when the show was aired! 
So if you're into music and fancy listening to something funky occasionally, give Encore FM a like on Facebook or a follow on Twitter to keep up with shows and latest guests :-)

If you want to listen to one of Rob's previous shows for OneMediaRadio, you can do that here on Soundcloud :-)

What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

Wish List: New Home!

Every time this time of year comes around, it reminds me even more how time flies! The school run chaos near my home also reminds me how grateful I am about living away from London during term time.

Moving was the scariest, most exciting experience of my life and I am glad it wasn't as difficult as I originally anticipated.

New furniture is my favourite part about moving so after discovering the coolest home range at H&M I just had to create a Polyvore set and a blog post to share my excitement!

A/W 14 Outfit Inspiration

Fall Outfit Inspo by lauren-patricia-wiseman

jumper: Topshop / skirt: Whistles / shoes: Chinese Laundry / bag: Chloé / watch: Olivia Burton  / necklace: Fendi

With each passing day here in London, the clouds get darker and the sun appears less. Personally, I prefer Spring/Summer - what there is of it anyway - because I don't have to think about being too cold.

Autumn/Winter however is fast approaching and as much as it makes me feel better, my moaning will not stop that. My issue is mostly that I am never able to find any clothes that I find a) suitable or b) WARM.

This time around however, there seems to be more fluffy coats and knitted garments than ever before and with the midi skirt trend, I may be in with a chance this year!

So, after spending considerably less time this year looking online for some inspiration I threw together a Polyvore outfit using items that have been redesigned for A/W.

Enjoy!

Winchester

It is now less than a month until I move into my house with my university housemates in Winchester and I could not be more ready or excited!   With everything happening in my personal life, this really hasn't come at a more perfect time!   The town itself is full of beautiful achitechture and unbeknown to me (until 30 seconds ago when I researched it!) Winchester Cathedral was built in 1079 and let me tell you, it is a sight to behold. I visited the Winchester Christmas Market back in December and just happened to stroll in. By the time I came out, my adventure apetite was full and I was dizzy with the beauty of it!  

(source: My Instagram)   So after the excitement (and realisation) bit me on the bum that move in day was fast approaching my Mum and I went into overdrive looking at bed spreads, mirrors and furniture.   And social media only encourages my ideas! Pinterest has become my go-to best friend for stunning attic room (YES I HAVE AN ATTIC ROOM!!!!) inspiration and my new House board is the cosiest I've seen yet!.  

  And I do plan to go OTT with fairy lights, blankets and cushions!  

Do you reccommend any other sites I can use for inspiration?   ♥  

Got the blues?

I cannot explain the solace that I get from writing on this blog!

 

So whilst dreaming of my holiday fast approaching (6 days- ahhh!), looking for sun-appropriate clothes is no longer a chore.

 

I am beginning to try (and fall in love with) bralets and strappy tops so my theme for this post is only going to aid that.

 

This beautiful bralet from boohoo takes a whole different approach to florals, using the elegant spaced-out print makes it easier to look at and not too busy. Paired with a staple pair of white jeans from Topshop, you can't go wrong!

 

I picked up on the blue and used this to accessorise with this amazing Forever 21 beaded bib necklace. Which works well with the gold Nasty Gal bangle set and the gold midi rings from shopbop.com.

 

The sweet Jigsaw clutch is a simple addition when in comparison with my all-time-favourite shoes from Missguided that I WILL be buying tonight!

 

What is your favourite colour theme this season?

My Sorry Explanation

 

Soooo it's been a bit too long since I've blogged ANYTHING - sorry :(   Truth is, I've had a particularly outrageously hectic few months and it's been overwhelming at times so to even think about a blog post idea was far-fetched.   I do, however, want to keep you up to date. When I begun this blog, I honestly thought I'd be mocked by my friends, truth is, I have never had so much support and compliments for something I have done and coming from people I love that is the best feeling.   On the subject of support, it would be unfair to say that I haven't entirely relied on it heavily in my blogging absence. It would be fair to say however, that I have had enough drama in the past 3 months to last me a lifetime.   BUT I don't wish to moan and it could certainly be worse (if it were not for the support) so I want to dedicate this entire blog to my friends, family and those of you I have not met but are interested in my writing anyway!   So thank you for your patience, and I owe it to you to make my blogging a regular appearance in your lives!   (One day you'll be sick of me!)   :)  

Colour Trend Alert: Lime Green and Neon Yellow

Colour Trend: Lime Green and Neon Yellow

 

And once again spring has sprung and we're all left with the winter essential oversized dull knit cardigans that take up a horrifying amount of space in our wardrobes. The promise of warm weather, however, has us all racing to the mid-season sales of our teeny tiny bikinis and thin crop tops! (Oh the excitement!)

My most recent crush is new neons and lime greens splashed upon most of the walls in my most popular high street stores.

Above are a few of my favourite items from this trend.

What colours are you excited to wear this Spring/Summer?
