I have now officially finished my first year of university! It's such a surreal feeling. It's been an amazing year, I've met so many people who I can't imagine not knowing now and had so many fun times. From freshers week, blowing student loans on clothes, nights out, all the afternoons in old bar, finding the best people on my course, signing for a house, stupid amounts of drinking games, one canadian flatmate, one war with another flatmate, dancing til I couldn't walk the next day, climbing the hill to uni everyday, many wagamamas, endless rides on the free bus, gaining a Glee addiction and so many ridiculous stories to tell, this year has been amazing. I love university and I love living in Leeds. I'm definitely going to miss it over summer when I'm back home in Hertfordshire.


As everyone knows, we've been having some freak hot weather these past few days and this outfit was necessary to survive in the heat. Everyone was coming out of the exam in shorts and sandals and sunglasses. This dress was such a good find and it translates so well between seasons. In winter, I wear it with a long sleeve top underneath it and now it's warmer I can wear it strapless but I paired it with a plain black vest yesterday so I didn't have to worry about a strapless bra. These shorter leggings are a life saver in the heat too because it's coverage without smothering your legs.


I've been wanting to try the belted cardigan for a while and I really like the result here. These are also the sandals I had to buy when I got so hot on Sunday but I really like them. They're so versatile, I even wore them out last night too. We ended up at a gay bar and much hilarity ensued as normal. Now that I'm finished with university I feel so much freer and I've got so much time to do things with. This will all end when I start back at work on July 5th but til then I'm going to take advantage of it.
