Sunny Day!







Top (dress!) - Topshop - £42
Belt - Charity Shop
Skirt - H&M - £3
Socks - Max Mara @ TkMaxx - £5.99
Bag - Achica @ Tkmaxx - £38
Boots - River Island

    With the desperation of needing a bit of retail therapy with my head full of coursework, I took to the shops to have a look through the sales. It was a good start (or bad) in H&M, and I ended up coming out with a new denim dress, two tops and this skirt, which was definitely worth it at three pounds! The top is actually a dress I've been wanting for awhile from Topshop, but I thought by pairing it with the contrastingly simple and plain skirt, it would pass for being suitable as day wear. I can't wait to wear it next weekend when I go out, because it's just such a comfy dress, with the bonus that I love the design. The laptop case is actually my school bag, which it Achica...I know, I hadn't heard of it either until last week! It was originally two hundred pounds, but good ol' TkMaxx had it in the sale for under forty so I replaced my old holey brown one for it. 
...And I must admit, I feel a lot less stressed about school after having a successful and theraputic shopping day! What do you guys to do 'de-stress'?

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend,

Hello Again, October Already?!

   Ah, it's been nearly a month since I've last blogged. I really do miss it, but A levels are made of tougher stuff than GCSE's, so I've been working a lot more, and then spending spare time with friends and, oh yeah, more work! I'm going to try making more time for blogging though because I do enjoy it...I'd forgotten how much! 
   I also had some time this week for a bit of retail therapy - I thought I'd make use of the sweet sunny weather from this week. I ended up buying bits of jewellery from Forever 21 and Claires which is a change from my usual clothing addiction, including some festive earrings, ready for the Winter, and a rabbit ring, which was traditionally named Peter.

      All in all, a good weekend! Now I'm going to top it off with a cup of tea and catch up on X Factor. I must admit I'm a little bit in love with Frankie Cocozza and I adore Jade's voice! Who are your favourites?

P.S! I have finally written another article for my other blog, which you can go on by clicking here, and it would mean a lot if you read it and gave me some feedback. Have a sweet week!
