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!

Summer is here again and that means a renewed obsession with Lana del rey and all of her Lolita fueled palm tree inspiration once again translates into our wardrobes. I paired this vintage palm tree inspired shirt with leather look runner shorts to add a bit of contrast as even in summer there has to be some form of leather look item in most outfits.
My white collar necklace is from Topshop and goes with pretty much everything, a piece I'm loving at the moment.
My over sized cat-eye sunglasses are from forever 21 and match the vintage 50's feel of the shirt. Finally I slipped on my Topshop croc effect skate shoes with no socks! If any of you own these skate shoes you will know that this was a brave move, however I did end up borrowing a pair of Charlotte's socks to walk home in...
Also as a side note I am wearing a few wefts of my new clip in extensions from Luxury for princess which I bought mainly to add volume to my hair. I am so impressed with the softness and quality of the extensions and would really recommend them to anyone considering buying some!

It's that time of year when Uni fever sets in, everyone starts to panic about where their future will take them and as a result, me and Charlotte have been on a series of mini road trips around the UK. We are both considering studying media communications and so fingers crossed that results day doesn't hold any nasty surprises... To keep it casual and comfy for the journey to Leeds, I opted for the basics of a white V neck tee and my blue Leigh jeans from Topshop.
Controversially, this outfit contains only minimal amounts of black. This is the extent of my commitment to the Summer season we usually just stay inside and watch films. 'The Shining' is our latest obsession... Have you read the conspiracy theories? Let's just say that we may well have spent too much time pondering on these strange coincidences over the last couple of days.
Also on the topic of comfort I realised last minute that it would be impossible to walk around all day in the mini torture chambers that are the Topshop skate shoes. Whilst I love the look of them I made the sensible choice to switch to my trusted Aphrodite boots before we set off.
Hope you're enjoying the British summer and please excuse the eyeliner swatch and fly-aways from my top knot. I have curly baby hairs that won't quit!

Summer seems to have finally arrived and that calls for a BBQ. Charlotte and I had a really good night and intended to take photos of the food to post, however it looked a bit burnt and rather unappealing, although it still tasted great!
I made the most of the heat with this grunge inspired outfit as I was desperate to wear my new shorts. I did try wearing them without the cycling shorts and lets just say, they brought about unwanted attention, ahem.
I was really jealous of Charlotte's bronze smokey eye and winged liner which was on point I must say, the heat always makes me really lazy when it comes to makeup so I find myself reaching for bright lipsticks more often. Last night I decided to dig out MAC Pink Nouveau after seeing Desi Perkins makeup tutorial.
Hope you're all loving the heat!

The long awaited Easter holidays have finally arrived, although they are apparently supposed to be consumed by endless hours of revision. However, me and Charlotte have been relaxing, and cramming in as many films as is humanely possible into this much needed break whilst still attempting to stay on top of our studies.
I bought these white Joni jeans with my birthday money a couple of weeks ago, they remind me of Lana del Rey video in combination with these over sized cat eye sunglasses from forever 21.
I paired them with a basic Topshop cropped tee because its nearly impossible to go wrong with black and white. The Topshop skate shoes... so beautiful and yet so painful! Both me and Charlotte bought a pair of these shoes and ended up carrying them in our hand as we walked in threadbare socks down the road like some 80's nostalgic film scene. However I remain optimistic as I want to believe that these are being broken in, my feet no longer bleed after 20 minutes of wear if that's anything to go by...
Hope your all enjoying the holidays xx

Where has the sun gone?!? As soon as it arrived it's gone again. Anyway I'll shut up about the weather - very British of me! I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm not a neat person by any means and this extends to my wardrobe. While digging for a t-shirt to wear for the gym I stumbled upon an old favourite of mine I'd completely forgot about. I'm an open lover of cats but I think this crop top is a different take on it; more like a piercing panther than a domestic kitten. I like the length as well, boxy but not unflattering and not too short. Unfortunately the material creases like crazy!
I featured these joggers in our haul over on YouTube and I wasn't even sure on them at first but I HAVE WORN THEM NONE STOP. They're flattering and so comfortable - like pyjamas! I'm obsessed with anything with a moon on so I had to grab this necklace when Shop Dixi were having 50% off. Loving these House of Holland-esque sunglasses as well, only a fiver!
Hope you're all okay!
