I posted this outfit a good while back as one of my first outfit posts but I've been wearing it a lot recently so I thought I'd repost and revamp :) I've had this bag about 2 years now but I love how it can never go out of fashion, such a classic piece! I bought these socks a couple of days ago from Primark and I couldn't wait to wear them, they're just so cuuuute. I love how 'chanel' this outfit is, although its all from the high street! I love dressing smart :)

I bought some gorgeous vintage boots also on Friday which I shall be sharing in my next post, so look out:)

Missing my sister as she's gone on holiday with her friend, waah.

Oh also, Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary to my Mum and Dad today! :))))

Love Monica,xxx

This dress arrived only a few days ago from eBay, and I couldn't wait to blog about it! I looove the scalloped peter pan collar and the polka dots! Also I love wearing red. Its always been my favourite colour and I feel nice in it. Sorry about my expressions on some of the photos haha!

I'm working lots this week, but I'll try sneak in a blog post when I can! I was tresspassin' in some fields today when I took these photos, and I nettled my legs, ouchiee!

I've had this playsuit for a while now, and I only recently rediscovered it in my wardrobe. I think its a timeless piece and it'll be in fashion pretty much every summer. I love the fruity print and I've got so much wear outta these sunglasses.

I've been to a vintage fair today and bought a really nice midi dress which I'm excited to share!

Oh and thanks for following, I got my 200 follower a couple of days ago! WOOO :)

Floral dresses are a great love of mine. I guess I can be quite picky because the pattern and style has to be perfect but when I saw this Topshop one last year I fell in love. I love the pastel colours and the cutout back, I knew I just had to have it! I paired it with my straw hat which I think it goes well with.

Last week at college, then its SUMMER! Some summer it'll be though because I'll be working day and night!

Thanks for all your lovely comments on here and via chictopia and lookbook! Much appriciated :)

Loving socks and sandals this summer, another rule I enjoy breaking. Can't get enough of these sandals lately, so glad I bought them, and Primark! Can you believe it?! I purchased this shirt last year before the whole buttoned blouses and shirt trend started (JUST SAYIN) and I got all creative and sowed some studs on to give it a bit of an edge. I haven't worn it for ages because most of the studs fell off when I rediscovered it in my wardrobe so I redid it a few days ago. Since I'm the least arty person you'll probably ever meet, I thought it was quite good for me!

These shots were taken by my sister Lindsey, with my new Sony a230 which I bought from my best friend Jodi's boyfriend about a month ago. I'm really happy with the camera and its great not to have to use my phone. (Sony Ericsson Satio)

Hello hello. Just a little outfit I wore a couple of days ago. And I only just had chance to take pictures before the thundering and lightening and terrential rain started. Oh the English weather. I've been playing a tennis match today but unfortunately it got rained off. I was winning though!

This outfit is a little 'last year' for me, simply because I wore the denim jacket and floral shorts a lot last summer, but I paired it with the turquoise shirt for a bit of rule breaking. 'Blue and green should never be seen, without a colour imbetween.'

New timetable starts at college next week which will be a refreshing change. Can't get over the fact that on Friday week A I have the whole day off eeeeee.

I placed a massive order on Romwe a few days ago so I'm mega excited for my purchases to arrive! Its my first time shopping on there after seeing lots of my favourite bloggers mentioning the site, so I have high hopes!

Also excuse the last photo, I got a little carried away editing that'en.

Love Monica,xxx
