For my birthday, I received a generous £30 voucher from my friends (thanks guys)! I was pondering how to spend it for about a month, thinking I should probably buy something for my impending ye...
On Saturday, the boy and I headed into town to have a look around the vintage shops. Digbeth in Birmingham is filled with hidden gems, and on our trip we discovered a shop we had never seen before - ...
Ive been experimenting with a new photo location today! Naturally, Im far too scared to actually take outfit photos in a public place - it takes me so long to actually compose a shot using ...
You may remember last year, I posted about decorating my room in university halls. Well, now Ive moved out and into a house, into a room double the size and half the price! Ive been busy decorating i...
In the past week Ive moved back to uni (along with at least 2 suitcases of clothes), and turned 20! I feel so old... no longer can I have a lie-in with the excuse that Im a teenager!I had a bit ...
After noticing that lots of other bloggers use a 50mm lens, I thought Id quite like to jump on the bandwagon, so earlier this week I ordered one to go with my new camera. It arrived th...
It sounds silly, but since buying myself a new camera, I feel so much more motivated to blog! You may have noticed that Ive been rather absent from the blogosphere over the summer - working...
... or at least, thats what I try to tell myself every time I fall in love with a new coat and just have to have it! Luckily my coat buying habit mostly takes place in charity shops, so I can feel a ...

After my recent blog post entitled Green Guilt, I have been trying my best to look out for ethical and sustainable clothing companies when shopping for clothes. I first heard of People Tree as a resu...

Im always talking about how amazing charity shops are, and forever blogging about my recent finds - but I often fail to mention that with nearly every purchase there is always a bit of extra wor...
I know that in my last blog post I mentioned that I feel guilty buying brand new items of clothing, but I just couldnt resist purchasing this charming mod-style dress last week at a designe...
I bought this dress after seeing the white version on Cait’s blog (hers being perfectly matched with a wonderful hand-made sailor collar from her collection, Wayward Daughter). I loved the shape of t...
I have finally finished exams and Im back home - which can only mean one thing: lots of time for blogging! Unfortunately my blog always gets a bit neglected at this time of year (as does a lot of the...
I dont know about you, but whilst I can appreciate the need for fashion publications such as Vogue, I often feel as though there should be more creative and DIY magazines on the market. I though...
Ive now finished the aforementioned nightmare of an exam - only 5 more to go! When I got back from the exam hall I decided to have an afternoon off revision, and treated myself to all sorts of n...
