High summer on film.

Here is Topshop's 'high summer' collection on film. Loving some of the latest pieces that have hit down in stores and online recently. Must get my hands on some of that swimwear with the seaside digital prints! Amazing!!

Manchester.

So we celebrated mine, Mike's and Arnie's birthdays in Manchester this weekend... and what a fab weekend it was! We went out along Deansgate Locks and had a blast! Was really nice catching up with everyone and basically getting majorly pissed up! Finally, I was able to wear my coral fringe maxi dress from Aqua Couture that I brought yonks ago! YAY! Even though the tremendously long fringe skirt was a pain in the ass, it was definitely worth it... all in the name of fashion and all that malarkey! Peach/pink/nude/coral wide strap platform shoes were from Topshop (recently brought in another colour as well seen as they're so comfy!) Spent the entire day feeling as if I'm in a coma which isn't so good... also back at work tomorrow which doubly isn't good!!!

Mimosa mini shorts.

I'm absolutely in love with these beauties - the mimosa mini short available at French Connection online. Desperate to snatch up a pair in yellow! Completely on trend for the summer, yellow is best for making you look super tanned plus they're so sparkly! Beautiful!

Today's outfit.

I am literally obsessed with tie dye at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, you can never be wearing to much of it because it is so beautiful and summery to look at. I'm so tired of having all these pretty things and not being able to wear them... So I braved the cold wind and rain in order to look like this. Tie dye cover up is actually beachwear from Topshop, burnout t-shirt and acid wash skinny jeans are vintage River Island, lace up military boots are All Saints, silver peace necklace is Thomas Sabo and an assortment of other beautiful jewellery from Gucci, Links of London, Tiffany & Co, Pandora and some vintage pieces from Barbados. I am in LOVE with this cover up... cannot wait to wear it to the beach but for now with skinny's and a tee will have to suffice!!!

Birthday outfit.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!!! Here I am about to head into Birmingham with my friend Vicke to go and have a birthday splurge! Not only was it student loan pay week and my birthday, it was also pay day so I treated myself to lots of beautiful things! This was my birthday outfit... I ordered the dress last week from Topshop.com so I was really glad that it arrived in time for my birthday. Tie dye midi dress and black buckle shoes are both Topshop, my very vintage ye olde leather biker is River Island and my silver peace necklace is Thomas Sabo - it is actually there just blends! I've had a fabulous day and have been very spoilt but my gosh does 22 feel slightly fogey-ish!

Stylogasm.

Just found this of me in a feature 'The Best in Street Style at LFW AW12/13' on website Stylogasm. Here I am gracing the grounds of Somerset House in Aldwych at London Fashion Week in head to toe Topshop. Had such a fantastic time working the event, getting photographed and getting my hands on some free goodies like a Mulberry shopper! Totes awesome darling!!!

Purchases.

So my final student loan entered my bank account today and while I'm supposed to be saving for the big move to London in July, I couldn't quite resist a splurge in Toppers!!! I don't know which item is my fave!? BORED of all this wind and rain and doom and gloom so, decided to inject some lovely pastels and neons with some splashes of tie dye and prints into my wardrobe - perfect for spring/summer... even though "apparently", Britain is going to experience the coldest May in over 400 years. I say, wear hot pants and crop tops whatever the weather!

Yesterdays outfit.

So yesterday I went to Sk:n in Solihull in Birmingham for a Glycolic Acid peel. What an experience it was! I have been left with a red face that I have been assured will have settled by Friday! I was most worried about looking red last night as I went to see JLS with my younger sister... I was definitely the more excited one of us! So yeah, here was my outfit that I wore yesterday. I went for a utility look teaming khaki trousers with a leather biker and some chunky heels. Leather biker is vintage River Island (8 years old and still going strong!), khaki drop crotch trousers and black buckle shoes with chunky heel are Topshop, oversized white marl vest is H&M, sterling silver bangle, ring and heart dog tag necklace with ball chain are all Tiffany & Co. and silk leather diamond watch is vintage Gucci. (PS excuse my horrendous yellow toes... desperately need to sort that polish out!)

Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp.

I desperately long for this beautiful Longchamp bag designed by Mary Katrantzou in her fabulous signature digital print which was inspired by oriental lanterns and orchids. Available from Selfridges for £125.00... an absolute steal of you ask me!!!

FOAM.

Me and my little (big) sister Lily.

Wonderland April/May issue.

What a lovely surprise I had this evening when I returned home from a crappy, long day at work to find a package on my bed. So happy that it was April/Mays issue of Wonderland... Even more amazing than the last issue! I literally couldn't wait to read. Dakota Fanning is the latest star to have graced the cover and pages of the magazine, of which she was modelling mostly Chanel (major jel!). Absolutely in love! I suggest those of you who don't already own a copy, should definitely invest and soon!!!
