I Was In Love With The Place In My Mind.

Dress: Urban Outfitters

Shirt: Vintage

Belt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Topshop

It was just too hot to accessorise when I wore this outfit. It has been this past few days really. Oh the woes of summer weather. I would have normally worn this dress without the shirt in this weather but I have sunburnt shoulders and I'm kind of glad because I love the shape this outfit gave me. I wore this when I just lazed around all day because it was too hot to do anything else.

My blogger poses do still revert back to the good old hands on the hips manouever but I can't really complain. My tripod is cooperating and I've taken outfit photos everyday this week so I can have a nice rest this weekend while still having stuff to post. I went to my little brothers birthday party yesterday and I got to see my Dad's next door neighbour who is a great friend of mine. She'd been travelling in India so I hadn't seen her since Christmas. We're planning a more thorough catch up for soon.

I love the detailing on this shirt, it really makes the shirt special for me. I rarely wear it because it's a bit too see through to wear without a vest but I like how it's working for me here. The dress is one of my favourites, a sale bargain and you've been seeing a lot of bare legs recently. I apologise for that. I'm not sure if it's the heat but I've been getting awful headaches everyday this week. It's horrible, I just can't shake them.

I have a slight dilemma that I'd like you to help me with. I've recently discovered that Urban Outfitters USA is shipping to the UK. Bad news for my bank balance! Theres a lot of stuff in their sale that I love that you just can't get hold of over here. I only allowed myself to browse the sale section and not full price. So, I stumbled across these scalloped shorts:

I'm in love with the shape but they don't look like they sit very well, the nicer alternatives are $48 while these are $15 and the UK store doesn't have anything near either of the two.

What should I do?

To Be Born Again

Skirt: Handmade via stall in Manchester

Vneck: H&M

Cardigan: H&M

Tights: Primark

Shoes: Vans

Bag: Vintage

Today I had some errands to run in the day then in the evening I went to this amazing night put on by friend, Grant. It was upstairs at a local pub, it was an acoustic folk night with four local acts and it was called 'The Big Sleep'. We all took pillows and sat on the floors and it was so chilled out and amazing! It was the first time I'd seen Grant do anything musical and he was literally stunning. He has such a good voice. And totally the vibe that I'm into right now so kudos to him. My friend was also djing with some very chilled out music.

I found this skirt in Manchester in the confusing land of Affleck's Palace. It is handmade and one of a kind and I love the print and the lace at the bottom. I paired it with a simple black top and white cardigan as I felt the pattern of the skirt was hard to match with anything. I feel like this outfit just doesn't look quite right and although I loved wearing it, I'm not too keen on how it looks in photos. Does anyone else ever get that? We had to take these in our halls lobby as well as it was so grey outside which probably adds to my dislike for them. Outdoor photos are so much nicer and that wallpaper is foul!

On my shopping excursion I managed to get the materials for my telephone costume which I will be debuting on Thursday along with a mass amount of food that will never be consumed in the week that I have left in Leeds. I have to start thinking about packing about my room here soon and it's terrifying. I love university so much that I don't really want to move home yet. Independence is like a drug and I'm hooked!

I also managed to find this vintage genuine Dooney and Bourke bag for only £18. I'm undecided on whether to sell it on or keep it. I should really sell it as I am a poor student and I have a bag habit already but something else inside me screams no! A dooney and bourke bag is an investment and this one is so cute. What do you think I should do? Sell or keep for myself? Let me know!
