Geometric Jewellery 

There's a large part of me that never left my little emo / punk stage that I went through in my youth and I think my obsession with the jewellery here is just the.. sophisticated evolution of that phase, if you will, the nod of recognition to my younger, khol-eyed self. 

The little studs are from H&M and I love the way they tip their hat to the trend without being full on dangerous.

The luuuurvly dangling ones on the left are from Topshop. Slightly more... eyecatching / statement making than I'd normally go for, but I love pearls, I love gold and I love the triangle style that a lot of jewellery has taken on recently - so these are clearly the earrings for me.

The black and gold diamond shaped ones are also from Topshop and, again, they're a little more eye-catching than I normally go for but I love how bold they are with a fair amount of classiness and sophistication thrown in, so in the shopping bag they went!

What's your favourite jewellery trend at the moment?

Quick snap of my jewellery storage idea for my university room. I tried to keep everything on my bamboo calendar but it was too heavy for the hooks and kept falling off! >:(

So I stole an idea from one of my flatmates and bought 20 sticky hooks for £1, and they work BRILLIANTLY!
Perfect for necklaces and bracelets, though I still have my earring on the calendar :)

Farewell Summer!

Sadly it seems that summer, at least for the UK, is now over. With thunderstorms and constant showers now a constant on the weather forecast, it's time to update our wardrobes with some lovely items to keep us snug this Autumn.

I've fallen in love with big, chunky knit cardigans that are lovely and warm, but also look cool and casual just thrown on over a pair of jeans and a vest top. These are a few of my favourites.

I love the pattern on this cardigan, almost a little bit tribal. 

£34.99 - New Look

 This one looks so warm and comfortable, and I love the rich burgundy colour.

£27.99 - New Look

 Again, the mustard colour works for me over a pair of light jeans, and the buckle fasteners add a little unusual detail.

£22.99 - New Look

And finally, possibly my favourite. A neutral grey with warmer tones thrown in, this casual piece is perfect for throwing on when the wind starts biting!

£40.00 - River Island

ELF Goodies :)

As the title suggests, a lovely haul from ELF is on the cards today :)

And as usual, another skip-load of pictures, but I wanted to show you a general and quick-ish overview of the things I bought, and then review them on here as I try them out, with more in depth information and about them and possibly more pictures (but not as many as this!)

I'm so excited to try this stippling brush out!

This wasn't broken, by the way, I dug my nail into it to see how much was actually in it, and to be honest, there really wasn't much! But for £1.50 you really can't complain :)


A bit of dodgy nail colour, it's gone all white and discoloured at the bottom, but this is the only product I had a problem with in the whole haul :)

Top - Bottom: Barely Bitten, Ripe Rose, Pouty Petal

The blush, with swatch on top, and swatch with brush below

The Matte Mauve on top with Punk Funk below. The 2 outer colours in MM are so neutral they didn't show up properly :( so I left the little applicator that I used to apply the colour on my arm so you could see it.



So yeah, hope it's not too much, give me a shout if it you'd like a change :)

Florals and Other Spring Prints

I think there's something about floral prints that is so refreshing for spring ... even though in the UK the weather seems to have missed the notice to warm up :(

anyhoo, I love the latest thing from New Look in their "Garden Party" seasonal trend thingy...





So pretty :)

Tees = Love

Ok, so I probably should have grown out of the stage where I still love printed t-shirts, but you know what?

I haven't. At all.

I still love a cute t-shirt, and here are some of my favourites, that if I would snap up if I had the money...



So, yeah, printed tees. Love them, or are they for kids?
You tell me :)

the things you can do with something clean and simple...
I'm loving white shirts right now, just because you can do so much with them. Throw on a blazer and some trainers and you're good to go for school, but cinch in the waist with a gorgeous black belt, add some heels and some statement jewelry, and BAM! ready to head out for the night!
I'd like to point out this is my first time using polyvore.com so ignore any prices and brands, it's the general look I'm aiming for!
