Girl Crush - Freja Beha Erichsen











Magazine covers, runway shows, campaigns, editorials, you name it, I'm pretty sure Freja has done it all. She has even had designers naming items in their collections after her. She really is a favourite in the fashion industry, probably because of that gorgeous bone structure, perfect features and general effortless cool. She can make anything look good without even trying. Oh and I also love her tattoos!

Hair Inspiration









I'm getting my hair cut this week and I really fancy a change! I've seen a lot of photos on tumblr and in magazines of girls with really chic long and blunt bobs and I absolutely love the style but I'm just not sure I'll be able to pull it off! I had short hair a good few years ago and after waiting for my hair to grow and saying I'd 'never cut it short ever again' I'm beginning to change my mind and have gradually been trimming it down. Another reason I love these shorter hairstyles is because two of my favourite bloggers, ErikaBowes and PrettySickly have similar styles and both look so amazing. 
What do you guys think, should I go for it?

OOTD 2.






Shirt:  TKMaxx     Jeans:  Primark     Bag:  New Look     Shoes: Dr Martens    
Necklace:  Mum's     Lipstick:  Revlon 'Black Cherry' (lightly applied)

Today's outfit was pretty simple but I actually really like it! I've had this shirt for a while now and I love the deep burgundy colour, especially for autumn/winter. My jeans are new from Primark and are the 'super high waist skinny jeans', this is the first time I've worn them and so far I love them. I think I may do a full review of them on here soon so please let me know if you'd like to see that!

OOTD 1.








Top:  Topshop     Jeans:  Topshop     Jacket: Primark     Bag:  New Look     Shoes: Office
Rings: New Look & H&M     Lipstick:  Beauty UK 'Plumalicious' 

So today I had my induction for the college course I will finally be starting next week! After doing a year at sixth form studying A levels I decided it just wasn't for me, my AS grades were actually pretty good but the subjects I had chosen just weren't interesting me enough. The only subject I really enjoyed was art as it allowed me to express my creativity in a variety of different ways, one of those ways being through photography which is the course I am now taking! I have always loved photography, my aspiration is to go onto university to study fashion photography as I love the fashion industry and it would be a dream to work with such inspiring and interesting people. I will keep you guys updated with what I'm up to on my course and hopefully share some of my work with you soon! 
My outfit today was pretty simple as I just wanted to be comfortable. I really love these boyfriend style ripped jeans from Topshop and have been wearing them to death recently! I feel like I need to get some more wardrobe staples for the upcoming colder months, what are your favourite autumn/winter essentials?

Also I know the quality of these photos isn't brilliant as they were taken on my iphone (ironic as i've just told you i'm studying photography) but hopefully I will find a good set up and be able to take photos on my slr soon!

WISHLIST - Knits

  Top (L-R)  Zara, H&M, H&M          Bottom (L-R)  Zara, Asos, Asos

I've come across so many different knits that I absolutely love this year! What has mainly caught my eye is all of the interesting textures and fabrics such as the beautiful fluffy knit from Asos. I am definitely going to have to invest in some new knitwear soon so I can keep cosy in style as it's already beginning to get super chilly here in England!

New Watch - Michael Kors Dupe





Rose Gold Watch - Ebay £10.99

So I have been lusting after the renowned Michael Kors watches for some time now but sadly do not have the spare cash to fork out a couple of hundred pounds for a watch. After scouring the internet for a cheaper alternative I came across this on good old ebay, an exact copy/fake of the real deal and for only £10.99 with free postage! 
I was slightly doubtful about how good the quality of the item would be as it was from Hong Kong but surprisingly it is excellent! It came packaged in a plain black gift box and along with the watch you also receive a free necklace! (which I probably won't wear as it's not my style but still!) I did have to adjust the sizing as the watch is unisex but it was easy enough to take out the links myself which also saved me the money of getting it professionally altered. 
Overall I am so so pleased with everything about this item, it arrived a couple of weeks after I had purchased it so the delivery was pretty quick too. I would definitely recommend checking out this seller if you're interested in Michael Kors watches but like me are on a budget, as well as rose gold it is also available in gold, silver and mixed metal too!

Tumblr Inspiration










 All images from Tumblr 

So I haven't posted in a very long time...but i'm back! I'm not sure what happened really but a lot has been going on and changing in my life and I guess I just didn't make enough time for blogging! Hopefully I can get back into it now and post regularly as I will have more free time on my hands only being in college 3 days a week. 

Anyway, my style and inspiration has changed/evolved quite a lot recently so I thought an inspiration post would be a good way to ease myself back in. All these images are ones I have reblogged from various blogs, some of my absolute favourites being PrettySickly, ErikaBowes and 10000kisses

As you can tell I have been loving monochrome, I think it is such a classic and chic combination which can be made more interesting with different textures such as leather and fur. I will always love wearing black, I guess it's like they say...black is the new black.
