Cath Kidston - Autumn Collection

I don't know any girl who doesn't like Cath Kidston and I feel that the new Autumn Collection is as perfect as ever.

(British Birds bag, £68.00. British Birds umbrella, £30.00. Blue Floral dress, £95.00. Red Bow Front dress, £95.00)

I love all of these pieces, especially the blue floral dress and the black British Birds bag. I really want these items and I am thinking about how I can manage to afford them!
Ho hum! I need money and/or a job! See more of the collection at the Cath Kidston website.

Summer Brollies.

It appears that summer has left the UK and that we have now been plunged into an early Autumn/Winter in terms of weather. I don't mind colder weather but I absolutely detest rain, I find it utterly annoying. Currently it is constantly raining and I feel like a drowned rat on a daily basis, which is tremendous fun. I am lucky enough though to have a lovely summer umbrella in which I feel everyone should have.

 My mum gave me this Monet umbrella which is lovely, she has one aswell but a different design, and I love it. People always look at it because its so lovely and I feel it slightly cheers me up in this weather.
So here are some other lovely umbrellas which are available at the minute, they are all from Brollies Galore.

I am off into the rain soon to meet Adam from work and go to the cinema to see Bridesmaids which I hear is hilarious, which I hope it is! I will be sure to take my Monet umbrella in the hope it can cheer me up!

However, this morning (when the weather was less worse) I decided to walk to Shields Road to have a look at the charity shops and I can tell you I was not impressed with the weather even when I had my trusty brolly!

 (Brolly, Monet. Top, G21, Scarf H&M. Face, not impressed)

Hope everyone is having fun and keeping dry! xx

Rucksack Tuesday.

Following the vintage theme from the bicycles, I have decided to explore the rucksacks which would go perfectly with them! Rucksacks seem to be making a comeback and I completely understand why as they seem so handy and useful!

However as I am a penniless student, I am going to show a wide range of prices; the cheaper prices for me and the more expensive for people who can actually afford life! :)

I've actually been loving this cheap rucksack for a while now! So when I can justify it (yes, I know it's not a lot) I will buy it! xx

Shopping Spree!

Here are just some of my goodies from yesterday! We have some gorgeous earrings as well as new Russian Dolls keyholders from Dorothy Perkins, Purple notebook from Paperchase which was only £2 (so I got two :) lol) and my new Casette iPhone case. Good haul, no? Also I'm blogging from my phone, told y'all I would try! xx

I must apologise...

...for completely neglecting my blog and my tumblr! Boy, do I suck right now. I've just been out more than in recently and so haven't had the oppurtunity mostly. I tried blogging on my phone but got annoyed at the typing, so again I apologise. I should really just stick it out. I have take a few photos from this week, not enough and I really need to move my camera app to the main page so that I will take more photos.

Never the less, have some photos :)

Can I just say, Mulberry you have let me down. Good and proper son. I mean, highlighter pink?! Righto. Gosh.

 

Outfit#1

These little black dresses, from H&M, are my main wardrobe staple...like EVER. I totally recommend everyone getting some as they are completely versatile. and so easy to work with!

(Mac, Primark. Salmon top, Kookai. Scarf, Cannot remember! Black dress,H&M.)

Last week was the busiest week ever! I started back at Uni and instead of easing us in gently I was in every day at 9. Oh the joys! So, coffee was definitely the top of the agenda!

(Coffee, a bit gross. Filofax&notebooks, Paperchase)

Outfit #2

This was taken while I ws waiting for a friend in Mango, I have bought too much stuff today and feel guilty already! However, I did purchase some lovely placement pants from Zara and New Look, as well as some other goodies! I will take some photos and upload tomorrow....hopefully. Again, I'm rocking the simple H&M dress. Yeah, I have like 5 of them...

(Black dress, H&M. Grey top, Kookai. Bag, French Connection. Detailed blazer, Idol for New Look. Scarf, Peacocks. Shoes, Primark.)

Overall a very successful shopping trip! A lot of bargains but lovely day! Now to do a large amount of paperwork in prepartion for placement and all of mty deadlines after! Oh the joys of uni :) xx

Countdown.

As I keep hearing everywhere we are nearing closer and close to Christmas, hell I even heard my first Christmas song on the radio yesterday. It greatly upset me as I do not like Christmas songs and well there is no way I want to rush past the 37 days (Yes, only 37 days!) till Christmas. If you are starting to shop I feel you should check out this site Not On The High Street. Apart from the fact they sell super nice stuff they are also slightly like Etsy in that it is made up of small, individual shops which of course appeals to me!

This is a major hint to everyone who is struggling to get me a present, as some people have said this, I suggest you go to this site! I love nearly all of it! xx

Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours." -Robert Byrne

It's that time of year again! The time where you travel to work/uni and other places in the dark spend the day there and then return home in the dark! Seeing light is a rare occurance and if you're like me, standing outside in the freezing cold just to see some light is not high on my priorities list.
I do love being able to wear millions of layers and walking around looking like the michelin man because you're allowed in Winter. No-one likes to be cold and well I'm spparently cold-blooded anyway so wrapping up even in the summer months is a thing for me. I would love to be able to hibernate like bears, to just forget the world, to be peaceful and warm. Oh what a life.

I actually want ALL these clothes! Oh bye bye student loan! Saying this I have sooooo many bills coming out soon I think I better wait and see! Mind you, I really want the boots and midi-dress. Hmmmm, decisions!
Just a quick note. I'm in love. Like for real. It's amazing. Please let me introduce you....

 I NEEEEEED THESE IN MAH LIFE! Both are from Asos! The ones on the left are called Angel and on the right are Amelia! I need them so much! Plus Amelia is in the sale for only £18 now so I feel I should take them before anyone else does! xx
