Life through my lens #11 (Updates!)

Hello everyone,

Well it has been far, far too long since I last sat down and blogged. What with being on holiday, working and  seeing my friends and family I have been beyond busy, but in  the very best way. I though about going through these instagram collages and captioning them as usual, but a) that would take you an age to read and b) I think these picture speak for themselves and sum up a lot of my summer. In terms of updates I have a lot to tell you all!

Ok so first thing, I now have glasses. I need them for distance and for when my eyes feel all tired, meaning when/if I learn to drive I will have to wear them, I might do a post wearing them at some point! I've also been loving work, everyone there is so lovely and I feel like  proper part of the team now. I had a really lovely week in Wales (it didn't rain constantly like the forecast said) and it was so good to catch up with my family.I did try to take some outfit photos, but only one has turned out half decent so we shall see if I actually post them!

One fab thing that happened lately was finally getting to meet Lily! We had the best day in Birmingham and I have a full post on it coming soon.

 And the thing that has given many a sixteen year old a sleepless night, GCSE results. I am chuffed to bits to tell you that I achieved an A* in French, Textiles, English literature and English language, an A in Science, History, Humanities and Drama and a B in Maths! I really couldn't be happier with my results and am honestly still in a sate of shock. It is so satisfying to realize that hard work pays off and all that effort was worth it! I hope you all got the results you were hoping  for, let me know! I'll be starting Sixth form in September, studying English Literature, French, Psychology and Government and politics- I do and don't want to start in equal measures. 

I have to add that this summer has been one of the best I have ever had, I've done so much and just loved every week, I can't really express how much fun I've had and the people I've shared it with have just been the best.

I'm going to do my best to get back to blogging regularly, I've missed you all! 

What have you been up to lately?

OOTD #54

Hiya loves, 

Sorry for my lack of posts yet again! I have taken photos of several outfits lately, but they have all turned out so dire they have had to be scrapped. However me and my sister went for a little walk around my village and since I had vowed to get out more of OOTDs, I took full opportunity of our surroundings. 

I basically wore this for a day of charity shopping and general errands, I achieved a lot though, my favorite type of day!

Hat- Select

Tshirt- Topshop

Jeans- H&M

Watch- Olivia Burton 

Shoes- Primark 

I forgot to take my usual close up shots (new surroundings and everything!) but I will still talk you through things. So I've wanted a floppy hat for an utter age, so when I saw this one for just £9 in Select, I had to snap up, it looks very similar to the £28 Topshop ones so I am super please with it! I picked up these jeans from H&M, for only £15 if you can believe it, I'm going to have to hunt down the black pair as well because they fit so nicely. The bag and shoes are Primark gems, I've been lusting after a pair that are not that dissimilar on ASOS for some times, so I was really happy when I saw these for just £12, really comfy as well! I loved the floral embossed design on the bag (which you can just about see) and it is such a fab size, defiantly my new through everything in it bag! This tee is an old favourite of mine, I always wear it when I don't want to think too much about what I'm wearing, such a staple.

What do you think of this outfit? What have you been up to lately?

OOTD #53

Hello everyone, I feel like long time no outfit of the day! I am feeling so uninspired by what I'm wearing lately, I honestly cannot wait to go shopping! However I did like this outfit, It managed to keep me pretty cool in this crazy heat we are experiencing in the UK (although I did change into my little Primark shorts whilst lounging!) as I wore this for a lovely picnic with a few of my fave girls, I've popped some picture into this post because it was such a fab day. 

Crop top- New Look 

Maxi skirt- Monki

Sandals- New Look 

This crop top is such a pretty one for summer, it's a good length too so sits perfectly with my skirt. 

I haven't done these newspaper nails in so long! I have a really awful tutorial on them here if you are interested (so cringe) 

I went for my standard summer makeup, light gold eyes with winged liner and pink blush and lips. 

We had the loveliest day soaking up the sun and munching all of our food.I really need to get out into my village more because this day reminded me just how pretty it is. I saw so many places that would make the perfect outfit backdrops!

What do you think of this outfit? What have you been up to in the sun?

Inspo no.3.

Hello everyone, 

This inspiration post is centered around trying to make myself feel more summery, because for whatever reason I'm just not feeling that particular vibe yet! No doubt its the ever wonderful British weather I've been experiencing lately...

All images from Pinterest, I don't own any of these pictures.

You might be ab;e to see what I'm loving trend wise right now; hats (yeah still I know), vintage and retro influence, monochrome anything, boho styles and natural or doe-eyed makeup. That's what I want for my summer wardrobe basically!
