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?

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?
