Its the last day off summer, and I knew I had to feature this little playsuit in my summer posts. Also, practically everything I'm wearing is from primark, bargain outfit. I returned to my old favourite photo location today to snap some photos. Its my little haven, I could just sit there for hours.

 Back to school tomorrow, I guess I'm looking forward to seeing people but this summer has absolutely flown by!

 Anyways back to the outfit! Something I've got a lot of wear out of this summer, I wore it a lot at V Fest. Below are a couple of pictures of my gorgeous friends and I, just to remind me what I great time we had :)

Also, Happy Birthday to my Mum!

Here's a few snaps of my vintage dress. I bought it off eBay a few months ago and I was a little devasted when it arrived because its a size 14 and its an unflattering midi length. But with a little tweaking, I've managed to make into the style and length I desired! I can't get enough of these vintage boots. I'm wearing with everything at the moment. I saw that H&M have got some similar ones coming out for the autumn.

Its crazy that I go back to college next week, this summer has gone super fast! I went to a Fashion Buying Event in Leeds with my auntie a few days ago. It was a lot of fun looking through rails and rails of clothes, and choosing fashion suitable for SS12. Definetly something I can see myself doing when I'm older!

Had an absolutely amazing weekend at V Festival in Staffordshire. Loved every second of it! I saw Eminem, Rihanna, Artic Monkeys, The Script, Ellie Goulding, Example, Tinie Tempah and Jessie J, just to name a few! It was so fun and I cannot wait to go to another festival next year! Too bad Glasto is cancelled because of the Olympics!

This was one of my 'festival outfits' so I thought I might as well post it! I love festival fashion and aztec was definetly a huge trend this year. I got these shorts on eBay after they were sold out in Topshop! I'd been wanting a chanel t-shirt for a good while, and found this oversized one on Romwe.com! Its great than I can wear it with leggings or tuck it in to shorts.

AS Results day went fairly well. I got a B in Maths :) then Cs in Business and English. I feel like I could have done a lot better, but I've got another year to improve and resit before uni!

Not sure how well you can tell from these pictures, but I've reombred my hair. I used a Loreal Highlighting kit and I'm really happy with the results, considering how scared I get to dye my hair haha!

Please make sure to hype me on lookbook here!

And follow me on twitter here!

I've been meaning to post this for a while but haven't had the time! This is a little something I wore on saturday when meeting my friend Shona in town. I bought the kimono jacket from TK Maxx last week for... wait for it... £3! Can ya believe it?! In the sale, whatta find! I've been wanting one for ages and have even been bidding on one on eBay around the £50 mark! Also, I think the kimono jacket goes perfectly with these shorts, for a nice blue-green mix. I've had these shorts months not knowing what to wear them with!

I don't know how well you can see on the last picture, but I painted my nails in an aztec pattern and I was really pleased with the results! (you can see a better photo here!) I just kinda made it up as I went along.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR V FEST! I leave Friday morning and come back on Monday. Anyone else going to the Weston Park one? I'm gonna be chillin' among the likes of Eminem and Rihanna hehehe. Gotta get all my festival outfits sorteddddd.

Also its my AS level results day tomorrow. I'm kinda excited to get them just cos I'm impatient and I wanna know now, but I'm also scared. hmmmm

I titled this post 'free fallin' because I seriously can't stop listening to John Mayer... bit in love.

Here's a little something I wore yesterday to go shopping in York. I swapped my tan loafers for my heeled sandals when taking these pictures though, I was too scared of falling over on the cobbled streets in heels! I bought the shirt last week and I'm so glad I did. I've been wanting one for a while but I have been avoiding paying £35ish in Topshop for something quite simple. I found this in the sale at Republic for £10, great buy.

Alas! A new addition to my hat collection. Purchased this one yesterday from H&M and I was wearing it as soon as I came out the shop. Loving this burgundy colour at the moment, I also bought a dress and some shorts the same shade haha!

Also, sorry for not posting in a week or so, I've literally had no time because I've been working day and night! Need to see my friends this week, if I ever get a day off that is. I'm starting writing again for StyleClone soon, so look out.

I'm going to Leeds tomorrow for a bit more shopping (!) and because my sister Lindsey is flying home from Paris! Well jealous that she's been shopping in Paris today!

Its a lovely evening, and I have tennis coaching tonight so I better get ready!

Love Monica,xxxxxx

I've gotten so much wear out of this dress its unreal, its my faveeee. I wear it all the time! I love the colour and the pleated style, just yum! Also with the aztec cardigan, I literally never take it off, so cosy yet coool. I bought these boots last week from a vintage store and I'm so glad I did. They're a size too big, but that doesnt matter to me!

I've been working loaaads recently, and tonight is my only night off this week. I'm playing tennis with my friend Beth and then I've got coaching later. I need an evening to just chill and sunbathe in my garden!

My Romwe order arrived yesterday so I've got a few little gems to share with you! Including my chanel t-shirt which I'm a bit in love with. Its quite strange how excited I get over clothes :/

Still missing my sister as she's on holiday. <3

Love Monica,xxx
