*Ed Westwick doesn't really inspire me.. sometimes I just like to look at him.

p.s. I think I'm in a style rut. I need something other than high-waisted skirts & cardigans, the lack of variation in my outfits is beginning to make me sick.

J'ai beaucoups de pass-temps.

Tonight's all about French coursework and Harry Potter.
I feel so sleepy and horrid, I want a hot bath and a cosy bed with some Whittards tea.

cardigan - river island
shirt - h&m
skirt - american apparel
belt - charity shop
tights - primark
shoes - vintage (portobello road)
I wore this to Ikea. I love Ikea. Especially Ikea apple cake.
I really like the colour combination, something about it just fits and is a little bit perfect. And I love my cardigan so so so much, it's lovely big chunkyness makes every outfit more interesting... and warm.
Hopefully a post in the next few days, when I have less work, I have a few pictures to share.

p.s. only 25 days til Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I've already started my preparation with the obligatory re-reading of all books (soon to be followed by back to back viewing of all films) have you? 

lily needs to blog more

cardigan - river island
breton-y top - h&m
denim skirt - h&m
boots - doc martens obv
Sorry about the general rubbishness of the picture. I wanted to get one of the outfit, it was past midnight and my patience was wearing thin so this is the best I could come up with. I had been wanting a breton like top for a while so... I bought one. :) It's really lovely and soft and comfy, another "like pyjamas" item. And my cardigan is still the bees knees, and will remain so for some time.

p.s. I might start posting my favourite blogs soon, would you be interested? I have a lot.

hi cardigan. hello books.

So apparently everyone loves camel now. Including me,obv, because I'm hip and trendy like that.

I spent this weekend at my Grandparent's in Essex and popped into Colchester for some shopping. I haven't been in a few years, and I was so impressed by the amount of stylish Essex girls & boys about. So much more interesting looks than your average Saturday in Cambridge where 90% of people are dressed head-to-toe in Topshop or Primark. Anyway, I found this gem of a cardigan in River Island (so much nicer than the Cambridge one!), isn't it gorgeous? So warm and the perfect amount of scratch. And the criss crossy leathery buttons are the icing on the camel cake.

Just about a month ago (I'm very slow..) I received an email from Jazz of JazzLovesYouMore telling me I'd won her giveaway. To say I was overjoyed was a bit of an understatement, I had a grin* plastered on my face for quite a while. I casually enter giveaways, never with any expectations of winning, and to win such an amazingly personal giveaway was such a nice surprise.
I only had to wait a few days and then, my prize arrived!!

Jazz is an insanely talented illustrator, her pictures are so beautiful and I feel so lucky to own so many pieces of her work. I absolutely love them all.

*why is it that that word always reminds me of Ron Weasley?
