Changes








 Top - New Look. Jeans - Topshop. Shoes - H&M - Shot on an iPhone 6 (hence the not amazing quality!)
For my whole life I have lived in the countryside. I live in a tiny village that has a pub, a church and an equestrian centre, and that's about it - it doesn't even have a village shop! It's tiny, and a ten minute drive from the nearest town. I've lived in this village all my life (and by all I mean literally, all - I was born in my house!) so I've always relied on cars to transport me, always used to seeing a never ending view of green fields outside my bedroom window and the roads being bumpy, windy and quiet. However in a week and a half, everything will change - I'm moving to Uni! 
One of my criteria when researching Uni's was that it had to be a university near a city, preferably London. However I also wanted a feel of a campus uni, and Queen Mary University ticked all of those boxes. I'm going to be using buses and trains to get around, I'm going to have a concrete jungle out of my window and I'm going to have the constant hustle and bustle of London through my windows, and I can't wait. It will be a change, I mean I am so so scared for uni for multiple reasons but I am finally moving to a city! My tag line for my blog has been  'forever dreaming of New York' for so long and although I'm not moving to New York, London is definitely a close second! 
So appreciate the luscious green background whilst you can, because who knows when I'll shoot blog photos once I am uni, I just need to be-friend a photographer...
Hope you Wednesday is shining, I'm off for two nights of celebrating and saying goodbye to friends!

All Black



Top - New Look. Jeans - Topshop. Scarf - Zara.
All week I've been lazy and loving life. Waking up gone 10, meeting friends for coffee or dinner and watching Gilmore Girls until my heart's content, it's been bliss. In the back of my head I knew I had these blog photo's that I could edit and blog about but I was so caught up in doing nothing that I've only just decided to blog about them. Considering I'm only at home for an hour between shopping and going to the cinema in which I need to change my outfit, re-do my make-up and have dinner, it's not so smart of me, but hey-ho!
It's no secret to anyone that knows me how much I love black. I just cannot seem to steer away from it and this outfit is no exception. I have basically been living in these jeans the past week as they are so so comfy and I really love how they look in an outfit, I think the rips give them a bit of an edge but the high-waist gives them the flattering effect. This scarf is another staple of mine for winter, I saw it near the beginning of September in Zara and knew if I didn't get it then I would regret it. It's so big, so warm, and just so perfect. I like the fact it is still a tartan scarf but fits in with the main colour scheme of my wardrobe - Black and White. Right I better go and have dinner so I can meet some friends at the cinema, I hope if your on half term like I am your making the most of it!

Now Watching // Gilmore Girls!

The Basis of my Autumn/ Winter Wardrobe























 So, You know in my last post I was going on about how good life is? Well it seems to be that I kind of jinxed it and it turns out, life isn't so great. But, I'll get over it and as Ella told me 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.' A very cheesy quote but it completely makes sense and that's what I'm trying to do. And in doing that, I went internet shopping!
I haven't been properly shopping or internet shopping in a long long time it feels like and although I haven't actually felt the need too (mainly because I've been stuck in my school suit) when you look down one page on Asos, you can't help but look down another ten. And so I come to you with what was going to be a wishlist but just turned into a couple of things, I show you what I would really really like to start off/ carry on my Autumn/ Winter wardrobe. 

Stripes, because I don't think I will ever fall out of love with them.
Denim A-line skirt because so simple yet so throwback to the nineties.
Plain Black Tee because once again so simple but effective.
Dark floral skirt because with a black knit, statement necklace and black knee high socks the outfit would never get old! 

Now Reading // Finalizing the articles for the first issue of Ink (My school magazine in which I am the editor of!)

Knee Socks



 Jumper and Necklaces - Berksha. Dress - Topshop. Socks - Forever 21. Shoes - New Look. Hat - H&M.
 Once again I feel like I owe a massive apology for not blogging once yet in October (Think it may actually be my longest period without blogging ever) But then I think, no I don't. Life has been so hectic, but so good. My last year of school is turning out better than ever, ignoring the piles and piles of work, stress about UCAS and life's random curve balls it throws into the mix, life's good. Plus, I passed my driving test on Tuesday so now have a certain element of freedom so I can get out of this village without relying on my mum which feels pretty great. I broke up for half term yesterday and the autumnal feels are in full swing; I'm spending my first day snuggled up in bed,  blogging, catching up on shows and ordering Rookie Yearbook 3. If I care to repeat myself again, Life's good.
It upsets me that this is my first Autumn outfit of the year but you know it's autumn when the knee-high socks come out, don't you? This is such a classic autumnal type of outfit for me and one I don't think I will ever get over. Throwing a jumper over a summer dress is the perfect transition from seasons and one that I think I'll be doing the rest of my life!
Right, well I better go and watch The Vampire Diaries then, will hopefully actually see you soon!
