Ketchup and Mustard

Top: H&M

Skirt: Swap with Jasmine

Boots: Vintage

Necklace: Etsy

I'm going to put together a post with my Berlin photographs but I have so much to share from that city that I want to wait til I have real time to dedicate to it. All you need to know for now is, I am love with Berlin. 

I moved back to Leeds on Saturday and it's good to be back. I'm sharing my house with two of my best friends including my wonderful photographer, Mel, and Laura, who is soon starting her own blog. I'm still in the process of unpacking my room and it kind of looks like a bomb hit it at the moment. Luckily I have more storage space this year but I still own far too many clothes. 

I got this skirt from the swap I did with Jasmine. Mustard is one of my favourite colours at the moment and is perfect for autumn. It felt good to be wearing boots again, it means autumn is really here. Shame it brings coat weather with it too.

Inspiration For The Week

Berlin was amazing!

So amazing, in fact, it took me a week to recover. I was busy doing important, boring things like packing up my life to move back to university, weeping over the fact I was no longer in Berlin and spending some time with my home friends before leaving. 

A massive thank you to both girls who put together guest posts while I was gone. They both did such a wonderful job.

This summer was an awful summer for blogging but now I'm back in Leeds with a fresh year and a fresh attitude towards the blog. Here's to change!

My favourite looks of the week.

Guest Post: Sydney From The Rabbit-Hearted Girl

Hi everyone! I'm Sydney, from The Rabbit-Hearted Girl, and I'm guest posting for Chloe today. She asked me to write something about travel, and I decided to relive some of my favorite vacations by writing about them for y'all (and posting some unrelated outfit shots).

When I was a senior in high school, my dad took me to London as a birthday &graduation gift. I'd wanted to go for years, and I absolutely loved it! I thought it was the coolest city and I loved going to see all of the typical tourist-y stuff, like the tower of London and Westminster Abbey. I even made him go to King's Cross Station so I could take a picture at Platform 9 3/4! We also went to Windsor Castle and Oxford and I really enjoyed seeing the smaller areas of the country. London is probably my favorite place I've ever been, and I'd love to live there someday!

A couple of years ago, my family went to Europe for Christmas because my older sister lived in Germany at the time. We stayed in Brussels for a night, and it ended up being my favorite night of the trip. The downtown area was so cool, and there happened to be a Christmas street fair happening the night we were there. The architecture in the square was beautiful. I don't know if it was just that I had so much fun that night, or maybe it was the Belgian waffle I ate, but I loved Brussels.

Just a couple of months ago, I went on a road trip to Southern California with my two best friends. California was a beautiful place, the weather was perfect and the beach was gorgeous. We also stopped at the Grand Canyon, and we drove through several states and places that I had never been before. But I think the best part was definitely the fun I had traveling with my friends. There's really nothing better than a road trip with people you love!

Well, that's all I have for y'all today! A huge thank you to Chloe for asking me to guest post, and I hope she's having a ton of fun in Berlin!!

Guest Post: Claire From Jazzpad

So while Chloe is away in Berlin (lucky devil) I am here to fill a blank, as it were, while she's gone. I'm Claire and I write all of my nonsense on Jazzpad, if you wanted to know. With a theme of 'travel' to toy with, I thought it might be interesting to have a bit of a virtual window shop for the unmistakable holiday essentials list. Which, as well as being interesting, became increasingly frustrating for me without as much as a Travel Inn booked in the shape of a holiday for this year. So here is my run-down of possible options. What would be on your essentials list? xox

The Paper Stuff 

Wherever you go, for however long, it can be crucial to keep all notes, tickets, thoughts and observations in one place. And then on your return, even more important to save all of them to treasure forever more.

The Box of Tricks 

I'm quite notorious for taking a bag of every size on holiday for varying reasons. Day bag, night bag, flight bag, beach bag, travelling bag... The list of possibilities is endless!

The Footwear 

No holiday shopping list can be quite complete without the obligatory footwear consideration. And in my book, there should be a walking shoe, a dancing shoe and a I'mnotgettingoffthislilountilnightfall shoe. I'll let you work out which is which.

I think that's enough to get you musing as to what you'd take away given the choice. With bags packed, all you need to decide now is where to go...?

Necklace: Stolen Thunder (prize)

Only one more day until I leave for Berlin! I should have some guest posts up while I'm gone to keep the old blog alive and when I'm back I'll, of course, be sharing everything about my trip.

This outfit is something I wore to an afternoon in Brick Lane perusing the shops with Molly. I'm channelling the autumn vibe in the colours of my outfit because I just can't wait for some autumn dressing. I'm definitely a transitional seasons girl, spring and autumn are my favourite seasons. Layering up and getting cosy in knitwear but without having the snow of winter means autumn is perfect for me. I've already made a few purchases for the colder months but I'm still on the hunt for the perfect coat and some new boots. 

The stolen thunder 'i heart tea' necklace I'm wearing is a prize I won a while back in Cait's competition and I have to say a massive thank you to her and to stolen thunder because it's such a cute necklace and gets endless comments. I wore it to my last day of work (where I often get hassled to make tea) and everyone found it was the perfect excuse to ask for a drink!
