raindrops on my sunglasses

I was planning on posting yesterday but I was in a major rush and ended up not having time! Between college and work lately, I'm finding it quite difficult keep up the blogging but I'm determind not to give up on it!
I feel very summery in this outfit. There was actually a few spots of rain when I was out taking photos though, but it was nice and quite ironic having raindrops on my sunglasses. I've had a bit of an obsession with crop tops lately and I have a few more to show you guys!
I bought a vintage aztec cardigan a few weeks ago from the lovely Courtney who has a vintage shop 'Tandem Northwest' on Etsy. After I bought the cardigan we contacted each other and she did a feature and mini-interview about me on her blog!  Exciting stuff. Check it out here!
I've been thinking a lot lately about getting my hair cut, not short-short but just a little trim so that it doesn't get out of hand. But the thing is, I literally haven't had anything off my length since February last year, so the thought scares me a little! And also, theres also I problem with my blonde ends. If I get it cut should I re-ombre my hair? Hmmm, whatta dilemma! Any thoughts?

Hello lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been back at college for the start of Year 13 this week, so I've been a bit busier! The weather today has been dreadful, but its come out bright and sunny this afternoon so I thought I'd fit a quick blog post in before I go to work. From tonight, I'm at work 11 nights in a row.. waaaah.
I've had this midi skirt a while but I haven't really had anything to wear it with, but when I bought this crochet top a couple of weeks ago, I thought it'd be perffff. Also I found these adorable sandals in Primark which are exactly what I'd been wanting for long time! I can definetly see myself wearing them a lot with my straw hat this summer!
I thought I'd experiment with a 'dull' nail varnish this week, and I actually quite like it! Okay, brown isn't very summery but its a nice change:) Also! I'm wearing my hair with a side parting today cos I felt like it.
Love Monica,xxx

wake me up when september ends


short sleeved jumper, Primark
lilac lace skirt, Topshop
tan skinny belt, Primark
headband, Topshop
timepiece pendant necklace, eBay
rings, Primark and Next
bracelets, Primark
nails, Barry M in Berry

This is actually one of my favourite outfits, I paired it with little white socks and tan brogues today which aren't pictured. I love this cute little sweater, but it really hard to wear! Like other than this skirt, I don't have anything else that goes with it so I haven't had much wear out of it, to be honest! You may have noticed how I always wear little bracelets round my fingers when I wear rings, the truth is... getting rings stuck on my fingers is like my BIGGEST phobia! So I always buy rings a size too big.
I went to Flamingo Land (a theme park and zoo) with my friends Mollie and India yesterday. It was great because there was no queues or anything! I love rollercoasters! I'm such an adrenaline junkie! Today I've just been for lunch with my friends Jodi and Rose and we had a lovely catch up:)
Only a few days left before I have to go back to college for the start of A2. I really like college but I'm seriously loving this time off. Too badddd.
Love Monica,xxx

khaki grunge



cropped batman tee, Topshop
pleated skirt, ARK
khaki parka, Topshop
tan belt, Primark
socks, my sister's
tan brouges, Primark

Just a little something I've been wearing today. I flung my parka coat on as I was going outt the door as it started to rain, but I think it adds a 'grungey' look to my outfit. I love how oversized it is, I think its a size 14 and from the tall section, but it was in the sale a few months ago at Toppers and I couldn't resist! Socks'n'brogues is kinda my signature look haha, I should really change this as I'm becoming very predictable! Also, check me out with no jewellery on! I feel a bit naked without it.
I've been playing a few sets of tennis today, I really needed that exercise! I feel like I've become a lot lazier lately but I'm determind not to be.

Just a quick post today! This is my new aztec cardigan which I'm very excited. So perfect for summer days! I'm having a lovely week off college, lots of shopping! eee. So theres a few things to cross off my wishlist which I'm sure I'll be showing you soon.
I'm having a bit of an obsession with animal jewellery at the moment. Felt like a bit of a jungle when I wore peacock feather earring, a swallow ring, an owl necklace and my elephant brooch! I love it, and I plan on purchasing lots more!
Pretty Little Liars is back in America next week so hopefully it won't be long before its back in England, if not I'm sure I'll be able to find it on the internet. Exciting stuffff.

give me coral

lace socks, Dorothy Perkins
denim brogues, Topshop
bracelets, Primark
pearl ring, Primark

I have my final AS exam tomorrow, English Language. I should be revising, but I thought of my spare time this evening as an opportunity to blog! I bought this dress a few months ago because I knew it'd be perfff for summer! I love the bright coral colour and I like how it buttons up to the top :) Low-cut things really don't suit me!
I've just been working this past week, nothing exciting! I'm hopefully going shopping on Wednesday though, which I'm buzzing about.
Love Monica,xxxx
