I attending a vintage fair in York last weekend with my good friend Hayley. I picked up this oversized denim jacket among other things, which I'm sure I'll be featuring on my blog soon enough. I've paired the jacket with a simple t-shirt for a grunge combination.

urban aztec

castaway crop top, Republic
aztec skirt, Urban Outfitters
burgundy hat, H&M
cross necklace, ebay
patent chelsea boots, my mum's

These photos were taken last week in the beaming sunshine. I'm currently sat in bed on my laptop and its absolutely pouring down outside. April showers? Torrential rain!
I bought the skirt a few months ago from UO in London. Seriously wanting to go back, there isn't an Urban Outfitters anywhere near where I live! I think the skirt is great for different seasons, dressed up with a blouse, or dressed down with a t-shirt. 
Life is taken up by studying lately, I'm working hard to get my grades for university. These are the most important months of my life academically, which is pretty scary.

wild one

cross embellished kimono jacket. Alabama Vintage
BAD crop top, Republic
leopard print pleated skirt, ebay
white lace socks, Primark
aztec bag, vintage
sunflower head garland, Primark
cross necklace, ebay
boots, Jeffrey Campbell Litas


I was very inspired by nature when putting together this outfit. I went for wildlife vibes with the leopard print skirt and floral head garland. Its was so sunny when taking these photos so I apologise for the bad quality. However, the sun meant it was warm enough for bringing out the bare legs. 
Hopefully going down to see the tennis at Wimbledon this summer with my sister. That's certainly something I'm looking forward too.

the shades of grey

grey batman tee, Topshop
lilac lace skirt, Topshop
khaki parka coat, Topshop
cross necklace, Ebay
spotty tights, Primark
aztec bag, vintage
patent crocodile skin chelsea boots, my mum's
nails, Barry M in Pure Turquoise

I love shooting in this location. The sun was shining, birds were tweeting and it was a beautiful day. 
As for the outfit; its kinda something I just threw together. I like cropped tops a lot and this batman one is something I've had for a couple of years. Don't tell anybody but its actually meant to be a pj top haha. I've never worn it as one though! 
Primark don't sell my beloved spotty tights anymore, which had much smaller dots than these. Spotty tights were totes my signature look last year. I'm getting back into them now its getting a little warmer!
Happy Easter to all my followers! Sorry to be a downer on life, but I hate chocolate so not Easter eggs for me hehe. 
Love Monica, xxxx

your kiss is cosmic




galaxy print skirt, Romwe
cut-out blouse with studded collar, eBay
collar necklace, Primark
boots, Jeffrey Campbell Litas

After spying this skirt a few times on the blogging scene, I decided to purchase. I squealed a little when it came in the post, as it was so perfect! Christopher Kane's designs have inspired me a lot and I'm genuinely obsessed with anything about the universe. I'm a self-confessed Brian Cox fan girl. 
If you're not already familiar, I suggest you check out Ella Tino's website. They have a great mix of on-trend clothing and shoes, I'm dying over their dipped hems and stylish creepers! They have a competition running where you have the chance of bagging a whole outfit, clothing, shoes and accessories!

spring forward

floral midi dress, Asos
sunglasses, Primark
black cardigan, vintage
white lace socks, Dorothy Perkins
heeled sandals, Primark


Hello April. Contrary to what I may have said in Autumn, I think Spring is my favourite season. I enjoy having the opportunity to wear sandals, floaty dresses and sunglasses.
There's something about this dress that drew me in, instantly. Its something I ordered earlier in the week and I had to put it on as soon as it arrived. I've ended up wearing it a couple of times this week, including when I modelled in a local fashion show on Monday. 
Easter break for me, means working a lot, revising a lot and hanging out with my friends. 
If you haven't met the cutie in the last photo before, this is my sister, Lindsey :) She's helped me with photos today.
Love Monica xx
