Back to basics 




I'm currently getting over excited about fall/winter fashion. It's definitely my favourite, i love layering and wrapping up, especially due to the fact we don't seem to get a summer here anymore. We had one week of warm, sunny weather and ever since it's been miserable and rained. I have also come to the conclusion, despite my love for pastel shades; that i have a boyish figure and am much better suited in more boyish clothes; furthermore i have wore much more black and white the past year or so and i wouldn't change it. I have found a comfort zone within it. I was recently told i always look very dream like but suit black, i think its down to my white hair, but i think i agree. I'm not a girl who likes to 'dress up' and am much more suited to the awkward boy style. My frame doesn't hold much shape and clothes just hang on me rather than hug me. Here are a few pieces which i really like for the coming months. All Topshop apart from the ying yang ring which is Urban Outfitters. I like all these basic styles as when you keep the clothes simple, you get to accessorise or have fun with make up. I tend never to wear prints, they frighten me. Hopefully once i start my internship i can save money to afford some favourite key pieces, which all are timeless.

  5. I love everything here but literally you could wear anything! I would love a boyish figure!
    I have a ring just like that, inherited from my Grandma, she was pagan which makes it feel more legitimate somehow...I feel that there are lots of symbols going around right now and no one knows what they mean! Anyway...glad I found your blog, I can't believe how you are transforming, it is truly wonderful to see xxx

    1. Awww, you have a lovely figure and thee best sense of style it's so unique to yourself. That's lovely you have a similar ring from your grandma, i'm sure it's very precious. Yes i agree with you, there is and it's rather sad people don't know the meanings. I have a peace symbol tattoo which nowadays seems so original as everyone wants it. I first told my mother at the beginning of high school that i would get it when old enough and quite frankly to myself, it isn't just a 'peace' sign it's symbolising peace of course but more so, John Lennon (i know it comes across being sad to others, but i feel a connection) i would never just get a peace tattoo because it's 'cool' Totally gone off track now haha, but i agree completely.

      I'm glad i found your blog also, i found it after you'd left a comment on somebodies post :) aww thank you very much! I'll look forward to your posts.

      Lot's of love, xxx
