What is it about trying to take a few blog photographs that is so difficult? Well for one there is lighting and the realization that your outfit is either too basic or horrifically unflattering. Then amongst a range of other technical issues there is the large problem that is the general public.
I could try and disguise our mishaps in order to appear professional, however that's not the kind of girls we are so I will admit that en-route to our location, we recieved a multitude of heckles from passing vans. I mean really, yes we have a camera, we are in fact taking photographs, that is generally the use for which people purchase a camera?
Anyway... rant over with, I decided to go with a summery outfit despite still including the staple black and grey. I'm really into layering necklaces at the moment and so I stacked this Zara one over a vintage, handmade shark tooth necklace which my great grandad brought back from Africa.
The sunglasses make me look like a fly or possibly an 80's police officer but I felt that they went well with the outfit. Let us know what your frustrations are when creating blog content!

Dress: Handmade, Boots: Matalan? Shirt: New look, Necklace: Miss Selfridge, Bag: Cynthia Rowley, Watch: Ali express, Bralet: H&M
I have never been good at sewing, maybe it's because I always attempt something ridiculously complicated *throwback to the 3D structured telephone bag which now lies half stitched in my wardrobe* However, I had been looking for a casual summer dress for hot days so I decided to attack a Primark maxi skirt with a pair of nail scissors and ended up with this dress which I knotted at the back. Whilst my sewing is very amateur I feel like the rough edges work well over this caged back bralet from H&M and give the look a grunge feel.
The Miss Selfridge chain collar was overdue for a rotation in the cycle of statement necklaces adds bit of drama. I tied a shirt round my waist because you never know what the weather will do!
Finally I resurrected these extremely battered boots from Matalan which have practically no soles left and plenty of holes but they are the comfiest shoes I own so worth looking rocking the whole homeless-chic look for.
I have seen a lot of blogger bucket lists of action packed summers, yet in all honestly my greatest achievement has been mastering the Sims 2 open for business expansion pack and finishing The killing series four in 48 hours... I love doing nothing :)
Hope you're enjoying a relaxed summer x
The January sales are drawing to a close which means its time to snap up those last few bargains! I managed to get these gorgeous Topshop boots for just £15 reduced from £75! A girl can never have too many pairs of ankle boots right?
The weather is still freezing cold and this faux-fur lined coat from River Island has been a real wardrobe staple over winter, the only downside being that white fur is difficult to maintain when you are a makeup lover. This grunge feel tee shirt is from Truly Madly Deeply at Urban Outfitters and I love the design with the triangles and evil eye. I chose my Topshop acid wash Joni jeans today as they are so comfy, I can understand why these are one of Topshop's most popular styles. Finally my outfit wouldn't be complete without my vintage leather backpack (excuse the hair, it doesn't fair well in strong winds!)Hope your all well and keep wrapped up this Febuary :)

Jacket: Vintage and customised, Jumpsuit: Topshop, Boots : Monki, Necklace: H&M
Hi everyone, Early signs of spring are starting to show but it's still freezing here in Manchester! I recently bought this petite black jumpsuit from Topshop, it's a very easy outfit staple that can be worn causally or dressed up for a night out with accessories. I bought this denim jacket from Oxfam and then studded the front using spikes i purchased off eBay to give it a more unique and authentic feel. I feel like this outfit is kind of 80's with the jumpsuit which I quite like! Hope your all having a good year so far - Grace xx
