I love making a bag different by adding a scarf to the straps, does anyone else do that? 

My flatmate and myself did a brutal clear out of our wardrobes and i stole this off of her before she threw it out. Florence and Fred at Tesco have some really nice items, supermarkets are defiantly increasing from the plain £2.50 tee's to Gok Wan! 

This scarf reminds me of the British colours, so thought i should maybe incorporate the colours into some outfits as the Jubilee weekend starts tomorrow.. excited!

I hit the West End when i was home a few days back, and i love the vintage stores and charity shops there, Vintage Guru on Byers Road is defiantly one of the best. I got this scarf there as well as a few other items i'll show later :)

Isn't exam season just awful? I've been swamped with coursework and exams recently and I never really thought a baby pink and hot pink leopard print onesie was socially acceptable, especially on a blog.. (i've not left it in the last few days.) So my apologies for a severe lack of blogging!

This outfit is a throw on, run out, grab food and coffee, run back outfit so very basic with a blazer just thrown over to smarten it up. Its amazing how much a blazer can smarten something up, I left my black blazer in the library the other week and have been lost without it!

This week my flatmate and myself made white chocolate and blueberry scones.. they tasted as good as they sound, trust me!

• 225g self raising flour
  
  
  55g butter
  
  
  25g caster sugar
  
  
  150ml milk
  
  
  200g white chocolate (broken into pieces)
  
  
  3 handfuls of blueberries
  
  
  1 egg, beaten
  
  
  
  
  Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  
  
  Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter
  
  
  Stir in the sugar and then add in chocolate pieces and blueberries.
  
  
  Add in the milk and kneed into a soft dough.
  
  
  Turn on to a floured work surface and peel apart the dough into just 
  
  
  short of palm shape sizes (should make about 7) and place on baking sheet. (probably best to use cutter to get a good shape, but we never so could work either way.)
  
  
  Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg. Bake for 12-15
  
  
   minutes until well risen and golden.
  
  
  Enjoy :)
  
  
  
  
  Hope for those who have exam season that its going ok!

Dress- H&M

Trench- H&M (old)

Bag- H&M (old)

Boots- Office

I love H&M and its pretty obvious since pretty much everything im wearing here is from there, although their sizing is really dodgy, does anyone else get this?

I love the colour of this dress and the bows just cuten it up so much. My flatmate wants me to wear spikes and studs with it (shows the difference between our styles.)

So today I had a hand in date and a presentation and now im free for a a day till i need to start studying, so this is what i wore to Yo Sushi for lunch followed by shopping, i love my days off especially when they end in a night out. 

Hope your weeks going well :)

Bag- Accessorize

Wedges- Office

Rose Ring- gift

Red Ring- vintage

I love shoes and I love sparkle so its my perfect match, both with the wedges and top with the fake sequin detail. Sparkle always helps to brighten any day, if I could I would have a separate wardrobe for sequined skirt, shorts, blazers.. list = endless which would consequently mean that bank statements = endless too.

Anyway only a quick post today because I muust get on with work which is taking longer than expected (im blaming the distraction of anything that moves, changes channel, sells clothes or comfy and with a blanket.)

Easter weekend and Friday tomorrow! Double whammy in one go, enjoy :)

Bag- River Island

This shirt is practically knee length on me so trying to tuck it into my trousers created some serious issues and made it look like I had big grannies on which is never really good. 

This scarf has been through a few generations of my family and I love wearing it for a family feel. (My mum still doesnt know i stole it from her wardrobe.)

Sat in a beer garden today after uni with G&T's, ciders and cocktails which ultimately ended up with vodkas, shots and a sore head.. coursemates always get the better of you. 

Quick post today because right now I should be on a bus going to the library.. study plans never pan out do they?

Was in such a rush today to get to uni for a lecture I thought was at 3 but it was at 12 (my flatmate laughed as I ran around, my hair soaking in a turban and dressing gown getting everything together.)

If I ever go for the sport lux trend its mainly when im in a rush or want to wear something comfy, this is why I secretly love it. Im not part of the very small tribe who can pull of trackies and wedgies, although I wish I was.. life would be so much comfier! So I often stick with converse and sporty looking sunnies and a baggy t-shirt and thats as far as I go.

Anyone been watching Mary Portas Bottom Line? I love her, she is a 

genius when it comes to re-establishing and re-branding the highstreet and high street stores. Love her or hate her you have to give her credit for finding a gap in the market and seizing it. However, she does terrify me.

It was so sunny so my flatmate and myself decided to hit the beach and go for ice tea and cake. Then Scotland being Scotland and Scottish people being Scottish people and get too excited over the glimpse of the sun and blue skies, we bought ice cream and then the grey clouds came out. Oh well, least the sun was there for a bit.

I think i've expressed my love for Urban Outfitters in previous posts but I seriously do love it. This skirt is one of my favourite ones atm and its already starting to get bobbles on the side where my bag sits..

Looove my glasses, I got them at London Fashion Weekend after the Thursday show. I call them my cat glasses cause of the tips (is that sad?) Never really taken to Jaeger and find it a more executive style but I love these and I got another top that paint splattered (my bank balance is still recovering.)

One of my uni reports was handed in today and its St Paddy's day tomorrow (Im not Irish but love the whole atmosphere of it!) Anyone got anything nice planned for St Paddy's day?
