Hello! HEY! It's been a while ay? I wont even make excuses anymore. How are you doing? Good I hope?


I know these are very dark colours for summer but its 2016 and I live in England so lets be realistic for a moment. You could ditch the jacket and just wear the tee? That would be summery? This is the easy, yet edgy outfit. You can't go wrong with a choker too. I will most certainly wear this again.

For some of you that don't know about Pull And Bear (link below) it's the same company that owns ZARA. I knew this as soon as I ordered some items, the quality was amazing and tags and labels where similar to ZARA so I did my research and I was right. Did I also mention the extremely tempting prices? Seriously go and have a look! You wont be disappointed. I can't just have a browse on there without going crazy.

The only thing I was abit hmm hmm about was the jeans. But I partly believe this was my fault and lack of research. I was looking to buy denim jeans. Although these seem like denim jeans I don't believe they are actually are. The material is quite stretchy yet very hugging. I wouldn't say they're jegging material but they certainly aren't denim they're VERY fitted. Not something I would usually go for but I'm too impatient so I didn't bother sending them back even though I'm not keen on the fitted look on jeans.

P.s I know NOTHING about star wars. I couldn't name one character if my life depended on it. I just loved the top.

AND yeah, my face didn't make the cut. I wasn't quite feeling my expressions..

Hey guys, happy Wednesday! How stunning is the weather?! My cravings go through the roof when the weather is like this. I'm craving all types of nonsense, cupcakes, burgers and mojito's. There goes my summer body.

Thought i'd do a review of the gorgeous place. It's my first review so here goes...

So me and a friend of mine were overdue a catch up and I'd heard a lot of good reviews about this place. I'd been before but on a night out since it's also has bar area but I never knew or paid attention to the restaurant area. I was slightly unsure about dining here as knew it was going to be dark and night-club like. But to my surprise I completely forgot about the bar part because the interior was just WOW! We were also sat next to the balcony that over looked the bar which is just beautiful.

This modern Japanese restaurant and bar situated at the quayside of Newcastle lives up to expectations. The fact that it was a Saturday evening and it wasn't chaotic was bonus. We arrived around 5:30pm and as you can see it was just peaceful. Giving us the opportunity to explore the decor and in my case snap a few images.

I'm not the best photographer and these images don't do the place and food any justice. The menu was very straight forward which was great, not to mention the friendliest staff!

I'm a lover of food and I'm really fussy about restaurants. I honestly get into CIA mode when I'm looking for somewhere new to eat but this exceeded all my expectations and the Japanese cuisine was simply exceptional. The pricing is reasonable if you know good food, you know its worth it.

I really am trying to look for a negative but I cant find one. I defiantly recommend this place!

HEY! It's been a minute. Hope you've all had great easter week? I have to be honest I don't have to say today. These images are over due hence the heavy knit.

I think I'm having one of phases where I need to have a word myself and snap back to reality. Ive had my head in the clouds recently and I need to refocus and have a look at the bigger picture. Which is living. Those who know me personally know that I really have my life together (a bit too much for a 21 year old) and I need to realise that its okay to mess up and be out of line even. I'm so used to living my life through schedule due to my work-load and studies. Since I've had two weeks off (I say off but I'm still working) I have realised that I actually need to chill. Let my hair all the way down. I have to say at first the thought of this made me feel uncomfortable. Sad I know but i'm working on it. I've realised that I'm not living as much I should be. I'm going to try to adapt the go with the flow attitude in certain parts of my life.

Totally un-related but I just wanted to say. Don't let anyone tell you how you should live your life or feel. Believe in your hustle and trust your OWN instinct. You don't want to be blaming someone else because you took their advice. Make decisions based on your own terms.

 Hello BEAUTS! hope you've all recharged your batteries and ready to endure one more week of hard work before the Easter break? I know I am. Also how nice and refreshing is the weather? Summer is on it's way, I feel it.

I actually wasn't going to use these images for my blog because the quality and variety is quiet poor but since i take so many photo's on a night out I figured it wouldn't be such a bad idea. The service at the Malmaison was GREAT but I think i'll be staying away from the martini's this was partly my fault.

Back to the outfit. I am obsessed with everything blush pink at the moment, like whats there not to love about it?! It's so feminine and cute and the skirt by A V Robertson is life. I will certainly be wearing this again but perhaps with the matching top. As you can tell I ALWAYS wear embellished garments so this skirt was a winner and the soft scooped neck bodysuit was the perfect match.

I was eyeing this skirt for a few months and kept it on my wish-list (the joys of ASOS) and for £85 I was prepared to wait considering I only wear things once. I ordered something else that didn't fit so I gave in and brought it. I think I convinced myself it was fate only to wear it on Saturday night and wake up the morning to find out its been reduced to £47! I actually wanted to cry, hence why I will be wearing it again. BUT how annoying is it when this happens? Luckily for you it's online for the same price.

I am aware that I look like I've crawled out of that corner in the background after a rough night and decided to stick some shades on. I thought I would show you a more realistic/everyday side of me or should I say what i'm most comfortable in.

I'm into comfort because i'm always tired, life is tiring okay, not everyday wear heels and have a full face on. No but seriously ladies this outfit is just a dream to wear on a weekend especially after a night of consuming too many pornstar martini's and dancing all night. And all you want to do is be up and out the house and get a waffle and bacon breakfast (with maple syrup) and a large Startbucks (hazelnut latte). In my case get dragged around by my other half for food shopping in the Fenwicks food mall for some over priced bread. Yes this is sadly true and happens way too often (weeps).

See what I mean about me waffling?! ANYWAY I'm 5'3 and I got these in a small and they were slightly too long and baggy for me, it's always the case with H&M plus I've lost some weight so i'd probably get an XS next time. As you can tell already tell I love flares and pairing them with this oversize top and fluffy bag to mix up the textures and not to mention it's the quickest and easiest outfit ever. I'm a massive tomboy and I must say i'd choose this over my Jimmy Choos and a cakeface but each to their own.
