smart little something


pleated top, Primark
nude bloomer style shorts, ASOS
black blazer, Topshop
belt, Primark
heeled brogues, Primark
owl necklace, eBay
peacock earrings, Venus Trading

This is definetly one of my smarter outfits. I kinda love wearing preppy/officey clothes and blazers are my faveeee. When I bought this top there wasn't any left in my size so I got a size 14 hah, which means I can also wear it with leggings! So I'm not complaining.
I've been working lots over the past few days, which had lead me to doing a lot of internet shopping! I just tell myself I 'deserve' some new clothes when really... I don't need anymore, its just an excuse.
Hope you're all enjoying half term!

oh the summer days

lace socks, Dorothy Perkins
rings, gifts
pearl bracelets, Primark
denim brogues, Topshop
nail polish, Barry M in turquoise

Happy days! I only have one more exam to go so school's out for the moment! Exciting stuff. It feels amazing not to be revising 24/7. My exams went quite well but no doubt I'll be disappointed on results day! Its been weird today, because I'm usually a really busy person and today I actually had time to relax. So I'm off college for 3 weeks now, which is good news for my readers as I'll have loads more time to post:)
I bought this dress from Primark last year in the midst of the cut-out trend. I really like cut-out back items and wish I had more to be honest! I feel very summery today, but I guess I can since its almost June:)
My blog has been going under a lot of construction lately but I think I'm done moving and changing things around for the moment. Its really difficult to get things exactly how you want them.
I'm excited to show you guys a few vintage things I've bought off Etsy lately, keep reading!

Just wearing a simple white dress today. A look that I feel never goes out of fashion. Incase you haven't noticed, socks and brogues is like my signature look hahah, I love these white socks from Primark, they're just like what I use to have in primary school!

blue shirt and leather skirt

 

blue shirt, New Look
brown faux leather skirt, River Island
time piece necklace, eBay
black tights, Primark
tan loafers, eBay
bag, vintage

Sorry for not posting for a while, I tried posting a few days ago but Blogger was down and my post seemed to delete its self! Ahh well. I bought this skirt a few months ago and I love it. I can totally see why people would hate it, but I love the length and the pleats. I want to experiment with these colours together, I kinda think they clash in a good way. My new timepiece necklace came a few days ago and I'm so happy with it! Would you believe me if I told you it was only 99p?! I lost my other one somehow, but I like my new one better so its all good.
I've had lots of time off work this week (for a change!) because my AS exams start tomorrow at college so I've spent a lot of time revising. I've got two Maths exams and a Business & Economics one this week. I guess I'm not really that worried about these, since I've put loads of hours of revision in for months now. But we'll see..
I'm made a new blog header yesterday, what do you think? I'm not sure if its a bit bright and not me? hmm. I've also gone for italic writing today now this suits me.
Love Monica,xxxx

stripes and denim
























blue striped top, H&M
denim gilet, Topshop
navy chinos, Zara
tan belt, Zara
heart necklace, Primark
bag, vintage
tan loafers, eBay

Hey! These pictures were taken yesterday after i finished college. I never used to think I was much of a 'trousers person' but I actually own about 5 pairs of chinos in all different colours, I love them. I haven't worn my denim gilet since like last year so I thought it was about time it made an appearance.
I've been shopping in York today with my friend Ryan:) I love York for shopping, its so adorable. I got stopped in the street by this girl and she asked if she could take my photo cos I have good 'street style' haha! We went for lunch in this super popular cafe called Betty's which always has like a mile long queue outside, it was lovely! I got a few things but I still haven't found my perfect aztec print cardigan that I've been searching for, for what seems like months now!
I straightened my hair for the first time in about two months yesterday. I don't really like it straight and I really don't want to damage it and get split ends again! I prefer to keep it curly and natural.
Anyways, I'm off to play tennis with my dad now!
Thanks for reading, please follow me on Twitter!
