Monsoon goes.. cute?!

Fusion Areetha Dress - £65I'm not going to lie - I've always associated Monsoon with expensive floral maxi-dresses and dresses to wear to a wedding.  However, I've just discovered their Monsoon Fusion line which is super cute and is making me lose the willpower on my cost-cutting run up to London Fashion Weekend.  I also love the way the stylist has mixed all the pieces in different ways to make it all interchangeable.  Check out the...

Teen Vogue Forever

I'm 20 in April which means I will no longer be a teen and will officially be a 'grown-up'!  Because of this I have come to the conclusion that my collection of Teen Vogue must draw to a close before I become more overrun with magazines than I already do.  Teen Vogue was my first toe-dip into fashion and realising that it was what I wanted to do. My first issue was November 2006 which I read cover to cover in my express music class (we...

RIP My Favourite Starbucks

This is my favourite Starbucks in my hometown of Leicester, five minutes away from university.  I love it because I can sit in the big windows and blog, or sit downstairs with friends and gossip and just relax.  My very first Starbucks was here - I had a tall mango and passionfruit juice drink (yummy) and fell in love with the place.  However I think most of all I'll miss the staff as they always seem to be happy and you can actually...

Playsuits revisited.

Summer of 2010 I pretty much lived in my  H! By Henry Holland purple playsuit.  I loved that I could run around Weymouth comfortably, fashionable and most importantly without revealing my modesty.  I bought a River Island playsuit from.. ASOS in December and instantly fell in love with it again when I wore it to see Ghost and to eat amazing Chinese food from Chinatown.  Imagine how excited I am to discover that ASOS now have more...

Sequins and Bow-ties - Brad Goreski has got his own show!

I got addicted to The Rachel Zoe project at the start of December and immediately fell in love with her assistant turned style director Brad Goreski.  His nerdy preppy style is amazing (I love a good bow-tie) and makes me want a gay best friend just like him! Whenever he cries I end up in tears like when he realised he was going to the Oscars with Anne Hathaway.  After leaving Rachel Zoe behind to go solo in the styling world he picked...

"I need to go to IKEA"

Illness has taken me down once again and as usual I've found myself another little project aside from my uni work to take my mind off of my sore throat and back ache.  I adore the my bedroom - the red carpet against the white walls, the black and white posters and my ever so helpful magazine rack but lately something else has been bothering me - clutter!   My room is so cluttered with... stuff that it's becoming embarrassing when people...
