When the light has all gone.

I am absolutely in love with this slouchy roll neck jumper it is perfect for any ocasion I can definitely see me dressing it up for meals out and wearing it with loungewear. Recently I have been rediscovering all my basic pieces that are completely versatile, I have found that by wearing one of these pieces with anything else in my wardrobe makes me look so much more put together. I have worn these jeans endlessly since I got them last year, yep even more than my plain jeans. If you live somewhere colder wear tights underneath for extra warmth.

I am high on believing...

Sometimes simple outfits are the best outfits, cue a dress and some shoes. I am officially living in Oxford now already to start lectures next week at Oxford Brookes but for now I am experiencing freshers week. Which is all kinds of fun and crazy not to mention the nights out... During the day I have been enrolling for my course buying little bits I forgot to buy last weekend when I arrived to comfort is key, this dress fits the bill perfectly. It also makes me feel like an off duty model at New York Fashion Week... Just me okay.

Kate Moss x Topshop


"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" - Kate Moss

So many people disagree with this, and I can see why, it fuels eating disorder communities, e.g. the #ana tag on Tumblr which I have scrolled though a few too many times.  I also get the feeling that it can be taken in a positive way, meaning that you should do what feels best for you and if that is being slim and healthy then do that. For me this quote is really, I love food as past blog posts have shown, but I am also very proud of how far I have come with my body, I used to be the stick thin model type and I loved it. Over the last year I couldn't keep up the exercise that I could at school so over the course of April I have been becoming more active and I am really proud of the results so for me nothing really does taste as good as skinny feels, but for others nothing tastes as good as body confidence feels. What Kate Moss said was specific to her and her body type.



 Kate Moss is one of my favourite models, even if she is controversial at times. So naturally I could not wait to see her new collection for Topshop. And I found the perfect little sundress as I was flicking though the website, and luckily for me it was in my local shop. I cannot wait to wear this during the summer months for years to come.




I thought for the first wear I would style it really simply by itself with some tan brogues from Clarks with frilly socks also from Topshop. What could be better on a spring day?

Oh just look at the detailing on the bottom of the dress!



A change of perspective is all it takes to begin the day with a positive outlook, there have been times over the last few weeks when I have just wanted to quit what I am doing right now. But why would I give up what I have worked for over the last 2 years because I feel like I cannot do this on one day of the week or in the small hours of the morning. So I guess I should learn from the next 2 and a half weeks of exams that you need to work for want you want to do in life.

My mind is always on you...

Day 16

The Writing Bit... (Continued form yesterday)
I feel like I should tell you more about her before I relay the story of scandal and power that followed.
"Bonjour. Je m'appelle Fleur" on the rare occasion she needed to introduce herself that was how. Tall, pale and a regal elegance that only those with the best education France could offer had. But despite all this she was closed off from the society she dreamed of living in, imprisoned by expectations and wealth.

The Fashion Bit...
Due to a minor issue with an item of clothing at about midday I changed in to a knock-off Pink Floyd tee and set about doing some college work. Shocking I know but it had to be done at some point!
