stay away from the jellies

Casio watch and vintage camera

Okay so I'm sorry I haven't posted for ages but I've got to start revising for my end of year exams and all that, and I've been given another huge art project to be doing. The project's title is 'FUSION' and to be honest I can't think of a single idea of what to do (the liquid photos above are all I've got). PLEASE PLEASE if anyone has any ideas, comment below? I'll love you forever and be your best friend. 
Anyway, these few days I haven't really done anything of interest, so I have no idea what to blog about and I've decided to talk about some styles that have been cropping up for summer.

1) JELLY SHOES
One tiny part of me thinks these are really cool and I should buy a pair, but then I check myself and push that thought out of my mind, because really? Jelly shoes? Who thought it would be a good idea to bring these back into fashion.. Especially the transparent, glittery ones. I don't want to be really extreme, but crocs spring to mind shortly after I think about these shoes.. We all had a pair when we were about 5 and they were awesome then, but not any more. Especially with socks, not that I don't like those frilly socks everyone's wearing at the moment, but with these shoes? No. I think they can look pretty occasionally, but not in pink or purple and not on me or anyone else except maybe Grimes, who seems to be able to pull them off perfectly.

 2) HOLOGRAPHIC CLOTHING
Although you can go wrong with holographic occasionally, a simple t-shirt, purse, skirt or even shoes, worn while keeping the rest of your outfit relatively plain can really work. I love this pattern, and I have a holographic purse which I carry everything in at the moment from Urban Outfitters (£5) which is so pretty. I think its a cool pattern to be wearing this summer and is quite easy to pull off too.

 3) DUNGAREES
It's quite easy to look very childish in dungarees, but can be avoided depending on what shoes and top you pair them with. For example, a long sleeved black top and black boots can look sick.. I quite like the dungaree-look but I haven't yet ventured out to buy some, because I'm waiting for the perfect ones to appear. All in all, I'm in favor of dungarees, but completely against them if they're long legged. (They always manage to look disgusting).

stealing my mum's clothes

I was bored on the weekend, so I got out a box of my mum's old clothes from her 'rebel teen years' (as she claims) and looked through it to see if there was anything I could salvage. I found one thing: a wool-mix L'Anarchie t-shirt which goes with practically ALL my favourite outfits! I can roll the sleeves up so it looks like a short sleeved top on hot days and roll them down for winter and it's just the type of thing I've been looking for.. #perfectfind

my birthday and new clothes

So it was my birthday a few days ago, which was perfect- I went to get chinese food with some friends and then we went home and watched scary movies and ate ice cream. My friend got me this amazing book called: Style Feed, The World's Top Fashion Blogs and it's basically a list of style blogs saying what they post about, how they started, what's so great about them, and what makes a blog unique and popular. I learned a lot about the fashion industry from it and all the pictures in it are so pretty, so that's just a reccomendation for anyone who wants to know a bit more about blogging..

The green tea was also amazing- new favourite drink

One of my other awesome presents was this pair of Liberty/Nike shoes which I've been wanting since forever but never had the money to buy them (as usual). They're so beautiful and comfortable and I can't stop wearing them ahh they're just perfect.

They suit almost all my favourite casual outfits, with jeans and shorts and skirts and okay I'm going to stop raving about these shoes now because I think you get the idea.

On a recent shopping trip I also found some beautiful things.. I normally don't shop at Primark at all, but I went in there and found one of the things that's been on my wishlist for a long time: a hawaiian shirt that actually fits me! It was from the mens' section but whateverrr. Then I got this black bomber jacket from a vintage store in Camden which I'm officially in love with because I can wear it in summer, as it's very thin material. Also, in Urban Outfitters, my favourite shop, I got this pretty, holographic purse which holds my phone and all my cards and stuff for only £5. So all in all I'm very happy this week.



Sorry if my posts become less frequent but school started today and that means exams soon and that means stress and extra work and eughh no I don't want to think about it.

If anyone has any revision tips or whatever then PLEASE comment below so I might be in with a tiny chance of getting through this term... Thanks for reading xxx
