Graduate Fashion Week 

So Graduate Fashion Week has just finished in London to which my university took part and actually opened the show. Unfortunately i could not make the show but i heard they all did very well. All of the above images are my favourites from my university of central Lancashire. I love how each piece is completely individual and so well thought out, i saw most of them making their collections, in which they worked very hard for. These images were taken from Vogue.co.uk there was also an article from the Telegraph which made me very proud. 

Quote: The University of Central Lancashire stole the show with a standout collection from 17 graduates which included Claire Acton's rainbow-parade of fringing and faces; Emma Guilfoyle's twisted take on heritage in which images of the Iron Lady and Churchill were mixed with patchwork tweed; and Xiaoping Huang's concertina-pleated extravaganza in a mix of music-sheet print and bold colour.

I am extremely proud of them all and this only excites and motivates me forward to fourth year when i'll be making my own collections. Quite scary but unbelievably exciting at the same time.

Perfect loafers.

I have a really fussy shoe size, i'm nor a 3 or a 4. I'm somewhere in the middle, yet still my left foot is a little bigger. I have such a problem finding shoes, heels don't seem to be as bad as long as they have a strap for extra support. Unfortunately the UK sizing do not do a half size. I've been after some new flat/comfortable shoes for such a long time, i haven't ever bothered to buy ballet flats from Topshop or anything, because they just won't last long. I've been wearing my brogues for years, they fit perfectly and are the best pair of shoes i have ever owned, they're still going strong. Anyway i worked for Kurt Geiger for a while and we got discount with being staff. Quite a lot actually. When i was working there, i always used to lust over these Nine West loafers, perfect because they're a half size. In the end i had to leave when i went back to university and never ended up getting them. I thought of them last week and saw them online, i had to order them, as i no longer worked there i couldn't get discount, but to my surprise they were on sale from £95 down to just £29, you can find them 'here.' So comfortable. They're real leather and have a double sole which is super spongey, i'd recommend them to anyone. I've also spent the week reading my love 'Oh Comely'. 

We wear pink on Wednesdays.































































I have never been a girl whom liked pink so much. As a child i was such a tomboy and was involved in every sport imaginable, i was super competitive and generally always won the races at school. Ever since finishing college i found myself wearing much more 'girly' pieces. My hair and skin tone seem to work best with muted pastel tones. I really like this collared dress, which i picked up for such an inexpensive price. I do very much base myself upon the 60s and this shift dress resembles that. I'd have loved the 60s and find myself today fascinated with it. I also really like Mean Girls ;)

This is Lavender Alice.

'If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?' Alice in Wonderland - 1951.

The Queens Diamond Jubilee. 60 years on the throne. What a remarkable woman, relatives and monarchy. True service in serving our country and how loyal they are. I love The Royals, i find them incredibly inspiring. To do as much as she does at her age, as well as Phillip whom is 91, wow. Today was the Jubilee Pageant. It started out great yet of course the rain fell (typical English weather) but that didn't stop her reign. People still cheered her and saluted. She seemed to enjoy all the activity. Choirs in the pouring rain still sing at the top of their lungs. It was great, i love special occasions such as this major one. It'll go down in history and i can somewhat say i was apart of it. Anyway above i chose a few little items which were on sale in Topshop and Urban Outfitters. A lovely cupcake set with 'all the trimmings' A lovely egg cup for your perfect British 'Boiled egg and soldiers' and a vase shaped as a carriage. I enjoyed watching today. If you did too, i hope you enjoyed it, if you're British, or if not have a lovely Jubilee celebration.

Delicate floral embroidery. 

Feeling super girly, teaming this beautiful playsuit with frilly ankle socks, brown leather brogues; with my hair tied back with ribbon. It's so light and very comfortable too.

Heatwave strikes England.

A long awaited run of warm weather, all have been anticipating to meet. This week we did. It has enlightened everybody's moods, gave us glow and positivity. This is what makes me love the sunshine so much. I have been so radiant, so happy i made sure that each day i did something with somebody different, to fulfil a week of happiness, while it lasts. It's very rare to see such a streak of beautiful weather; this week has been so enticing, yet relaxed at the same time. I hope you've all had a lovely week.

I went on many bike rides, i wore my 90s style, glitter jelly shoes. I drank homemade lemon water and saw a good friend off to London over a banana and strawberry smoothie. I've enjoyed reading Lolita in the mornings sat out in the back garden. Over all i have thoroughly enjoyed my week.
