Hey, it's been a year..

Outfit: Coat - Zara / Top - Zara / Jeans - Asos / Boots - Asos / Bag - Zara

Hi strangers,

It's been a while..

365 days to be exact.

So what better time to start.

I finally feel inspired again and I'm so excited to share with you guys all the changes in my style and all the new things that I'm trying.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet as I will have endless posts to speak to you guys.

So here is to Saturday's very casual outfit and one thing that clearly won't ever change, which is the amount of black I wear. 

I hope you are all well!

Lots of love,

Shay

Hello everyone,

fianlly got a new outfit for you guys! I had this one waiting to be edited for so long now and I finally got around to it. It's been a mad couple of weeks, but everything seems to fall into place again, which is good! 

Enough of the small talk, let's talk outfit! Now here's the deal when it comes to cold weather it's a bit more tricky to look put together as you can't just wear a cute little crop top and a pair of jeans and go. I mean don't get me wrong some people can take the cold very well and if you're one of them then lucky you! For most of us however that is not the case. That does not mean that you can't bring out that fashionista in you with a couple more layers on..here's a few tips I make sure I do to still look nice:

1. One thing I always have to take care of with sweaters, knits and tops in general is making sure that they don't basically eat me and that they're not ridiculously long as I'm quite short. Oversized is always a good idea, but you don't want to overdo it!

2. I also like to pair my oversized huge knits with something more flattering around the bottom like I have done in this outfit! That just allows the pieces to compliment each other and your outfit will probably make more sense.

3. When you wear a huge jumper it's the perfect chance for you to layer underneath as it won't really show through. I sometimes wear 4 layers depending on how thin my knit is, I know that sounds insane, but a girl has got to pull emergency strings sometimes! Your layers underneath don't have to be crazy, crop tops are very practical in these situations as they're not baggy or anything. Now if you cannot take the cold at all uniqlo sells some heat tech bodies, which are amazing and you can layer on top of those as well!

4. Finally just remember that winter knits can be just as flattering as your summer outfits as long as your work with what you've got!

Btw this is probably one of my most loved jumpers ever. It's so so warm, but really chic at the same time. It's also just very easy to wear as you don't have to wear anything else with it in terms of jewellery and stuff it just speaks for itself.

How do you guys keep warm? Let me know,

There are a couple of things that I love about Janurary, besides the freezing cold weather and my increased need for lip balm my favourite thing (sarcasm) has to be the beautifully dark mornings, which as we all know can result in a late start to our already short day and although I make it sound horrible it's out of this mornings late start that this outfit was born.

Being late anyway, I don't know what possessed my barely awake self to see my ankle boots through half open eyes and then tell my brain that it would be a good idea to wear them..still don't understand.

I think it's safe to say that I took the expression getting dressed in the dark quite literally but hey, from what I can see now it kinda works for me.

Three piece rule

outfit: Jumper - Zara / Jeans - really old / Shoes - my mums from Vagabond

There's something about the combination of grey and dark lips that I just can't resist.

Especially when it's this amazing grey Jumper that my mum bought me for Christmas, she honestly never fails to amaze me and neither does Zara - I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to own almost everything from there.

Also can I just point out that the shoes in my last outfit and these shoes are both my mums.. She just owns all these nice boots and she can only wear one pair at a time soo I might as well steal them here and there.. Hahaa

Anyways I'm going to have a lot of fun with this Jumper I can sense it, but for now I'll leave you with the most comfortable way of wearing it, my personal three piece rule.

Oh boy the weather was really warm today, which is a good thing however it was a bit to stuffy and humid.. 

On this morning it didn't look like it would be this warm, but we ended up burning under the sun at our break! hahaa

Anyways I'm soo happy my shoes didn't hurt my feet today at all!

Also I've been obsessed with 'hart of dixie', I've finished the first season! It's soo GOOD!!

It doesn't help that I love Rachel Bilson either!

Have you guys seen it? and do you like it?

Oh my what a day it's been!

I went to see a Uni today with my entire year group. It was in Brighton so we went by coach and I decided to wear my new shoes, which I by the way love! 

However, they started really hurting my feet and gave me blisters and I was in pain for the whole day!!!

Then on the way back our bus that broke down so we had to wait for 2 hrs in the middle of a motorway for another coach to come and pick us up!

I'm sooo ridiculously exhausted it's unbelievable.

The only plus side is that I really like the Uni and the place even though it did not actually offer what I want to do.

Also sorry for the low quality of my pictures, but by the time I got home it was starting to get dark and I was actually too tired to take any more, but there will be more outfits to come as usual!

Glad that I could show you my new shoes! I love them soo much! Hope that I can find a way of wearing them without being in soo much pain!

Let me know what you think,

Ohh what annoying weather we have at the moment! It's soo irritating!

I just wanna be able to wear pretty colours and enjoy the sun!

Apart from that let me introduce you to my new bag!

I love it so much and it's soo comfortable to wear.

The patterns on it are really nice too.

Let me know what you think!

Let's talk trends

I'm really digging this whole black and white trend at the moment!

I find it very attractive and clean. It just speaks a lot of class cause you can't go wrong with both, black and white!

On its own or together I just can't get enough of it.

For me personally, I like to keep a balance of both in my outfits.

Also I love the white suits that are everywhere at the moment! SO MUCH CLASS!

As for the picture of the skirt I posted, I love love love it! I might just have to make myself one because I don't know where it's from!

Do let me know how you like to wear your blacks and whites!

Anyways tomorrow I'm going to a photography exhibition and I'm hopefully going to take some outfit pictures then if all goes well.

Ohh and I'm planning to get a hot pink lipstick soon cause I would really like to have one.

Any suggestions?

Had such a nice weekend,

Friday I went to 'Tate at night' with my friends and family to watch my final piece that I made at the project with CSM on the catwalk. 

It was an amazing feeling to watch your own piece on a catwalk even though the catwalk wasn't that big.. hahaa

I've got some pictures of my piece that I can post at some point.

Anyways, afterwards my friends and I were really hungry and seeing as we were in central London we wanted to hang around there a bit more. After walking into the completely wrong direction we finally managed to find our way and a very kind women directed us - if you happen to read this, THANKS MAN! 

I have to say though my feet was killing meeee! hahaa

Today we've got some family over so that's quite sweet and then tomorrow I'm back to sixth form for another month. Can't wait for our summer holidays to finally start!!

Have you guys got any plans for summer?

Hello strangers,

it's been a while! 

I could present you loads of excuses right now, but I guess the main one was that I just didn't find outfits worthy enough and I couldn't bring myself onto taking the pictures.

I think as a blogger you will always be veryyy picky with what you want to put up because at the end of the day you want peoples judgement about your stuff.

Either way I'm back now with new outfit ideas and no more coursework left to do! hahaa

This outfit is one of my most effortlessly cool outfits ever. It's just soo loud, but at the same time soo calm. I love it a lot and it's crazy because when I first brought it I was quite scared to wear it because I didn't know what peoples reactions would be!

Anyways,

that's it from me for now let me know what you think of it!

It's good to be back,

Shay

P.S I really need a haircut! Awww

clear like a mirror

 

 

 

 

 

outfit: Tee - H&M men/jeans - C&A/leather jacket - H&M/socks - primark/sunglasses - zara/ankle boots - H&M

 

What can I say I'm a bit ashamed of my poor update, but here I am once again with beautiful weather and glasses as clear as a mirror.

 

The weather is so nice compare to what we had a couple of weeks ago!

 

I had these socks for really long now, but I never got to wear them because they just wouldn't match with anything so I'm really happy that I finally got to wear them.. hahaa

 

Also you can hardly see in the pictures, but my hair has grown soo much and it's only been roughly a month since I got my haircut! It's such a dilemma! hahaa

 

Does your hair grow that fast as well?
