The sun is shining...

So the sun is shining and I'm not totally hating it yet! Which lets be honest is a first, normally as soon as any warmer weather comes by I want it gone straight away and a blizzard to appear in its place, but I'm managing to deal with nice weather at the moment but as soon as the heat waves start I'll be full on moaning!


I'm sorry this isn't an amazing outfit post but its far to warm to wear my usual layers and accessories, though I do still think its a really pretty look. This dress/tunic if from matalan and recently I've hardly had it off my back! Which I know probably sounds really gross but its just one of my favourite pieces at the moment, I think I'll have to buy another one before summertime officially hits because I can see this getting me through the warmer months. I have shown it on my blog before but it deserves many more photos, and you will most likely see it a lot more in future posts anyway!


My leggings are also from Matalan and these are some of the best ones I've owned there more thickened than other brands I've owned which is great because I hate it when I bend my knees and you can see skin through or worse the pattern of my pants through! These shoes are new and from peacocks and whats even better my feet actually fit in them! I normally have to get my shoes from Evans because I have really wide feet, but thankfully these fit pretty well as my favourite pair of shoes are literally dying right now. My sunglasses were from primark last year if I remember correctly, there just for fun really I have a few pairs of primark "RayBan's" which I wear in public. And finally I don't think I really had any make up on because I wanted the suns rays to make me pretty, which obviously doesn't work!


If you've read posts on my blog or watched any of my YouTube videos you will know that I had an interview for Leeds College of Art and I found out a few days ago that I didn't in the end get a place of course to start off with I was utterly gutted! But now I'd like to think that I was lucky enough to even be offered an interview and I do have a place at another uni anyway, so its not so bad. If you have me on twitter I did mope about being turned down for a while but I promise I'm fine now. Also I'm sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I feel I should, I've just been struggling to get things down in words, hopefully I'll be able to spit my works out much better from now on.

And Lastly on Wednesday it was my blogs first birthday I cannot believe I've been running this little thing for a year now! And I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who followers me, whether it be on google,twitter or bloglovin it just means a lot!

Dressing room dilemas.

I did a little changing room picture while out today just because I felt like it really. And as a matter of fact I didn't actually buy either of these items in the end. Both of these pieces are from peacocks who have got 20% student discount off at the moment so its well worth looking at there new stock some of it is just utterly lovely.

The reason behind me trying on the peter pan collared dress was its similar to the extremely popular ones on asos, just at £16 pounds the price tag isn't so bad. I am normally a size 20 on top and size 18 on my bottoms (but it completely varies from shop to shop!) So the majority of the time I buy my dresses in a size 20 to fit my top nicely and smoothly skim over everything else but considering the fabric and style of this and that they only had an 18 in stock at my local peacocks I thought I'd try it and the dress did in fact fit nicely. Though I'm never keen on dresses made out of this stretch fabric because it doesn't always let the skin breath and can be quite clingy even if you do buy the garment in your actual size.

Next are the trousers in the top image on the hanger they looked really nice and a comfortable alternative to proper trousers there a type of fitted sweater pant fabric with lovely pleats on the waistband and surrounding the pockets as well as the peg leg/roll up detail on the bottom. When I put them on I just knew that they looked hideous I think if they just sorted out the joining off each leg out they would be much better. I have a photo of the detailing closer up but the pleats and the fabric have made it look like horrible bunching up on the crotch which obviously nobody wants to walk around with! Though I think the idea of these trousers is great smart but with major comfort but peacocks just need to fit them a little better (possibly on someone of slight plus size to ensure they look better).I have to admit I do tend to window shop in peacocks an awful lot but I don't seem to buy anything much from there (other than the rare pair of shoes or thick tights). There is a pair or peep toe flats in a tan brown colour that actually fit my wide feet which I'm un-subtly lusting over. They will become my summer shoe staple, they have to.

So what do you think of my little review of clothes in store, do you think I should do more regular posts like this? I'd love to know your thoughts.
