I'll Look At The Sun And I'll Look In The Mirror

So the latest issue of The Sunday Time STYLE Magazine? 
It went completely super-sized. I mean it was so epic that you actually looked a bit strange carrying it down the road.

But I loved it. With 110 pages of gorgeous colour and features, it really was the big fashion issue.

Got Bruises On My Knees For You

I thought I would do a post to celebrate National Bike Week (Saturday 13th June - Sunday 21st June). This month's Glamour says: "a bike seem to be the hippest way to travel". I totally agree, it's faster than walking, better for the environment than driving, and much less tiring than running. 

I've been riding my bike a lot recently. It's definitely a lot of fun and keeps you fit. Cycling doesn't have to be all lycra and sweat. It's nice just to ride at a gentle pace and take in your surroundings and enjoy life. I personally am thinking about saving up for an adorable vintage bike. One with a little woven basket and a bell in an apple red or mint green colour.

I doubt I'll ever get round to getting a bike like this.

I've been seeing many pictures of celebrities who have got the cycling bug. From Duffy to Mary-Kate, everyone seems to be joining this new traveling trend.

Today I went for a picnic in Richmond Park. It's a gorgeous place and there are so many paths and hidden places. They have bikes to hire or you can just bring your own. We saw lots of deer and sat by the lake. It was a lovely day but I only wish I hadn't fallen off my bike - it hurt :(

Can't Drag Me To A Fashion Show

I've been going through my old files recently to try and make more space so I don't mess up my laptop. Most of my time has been spent looking at the fashion and editorials that I'd saved. I was surprised to see that I have not a single runway picture. However, there's millions from backstage at the show. 

I've decided that this is because backstage is simply the better advertising. I find that you can actually imagine yourselves in the collections if you see them being lived in. If the models look like they're having fun and laughing then surely you'll be having the same experience if you wear the clothes. 

I see why the runway is good as you do get to see the different angles and better detailing of the clothes but models seem so more like us when they're messing around.

Enough About Me, Let's Talk About You


Hair Bow - Primark
Grey Cardigan - New Look
Flower Vest - Primark
Green Belt - Sister's
Stripe Skirt - H&M
Necklace - DIY
 Socks - Gap
Shoes - River Island

My mum donated this bag to me a couple of days ago. It had been sitting in her wardrobe for years without use. I'm completely in love with it. The print is summery and the embroidery is beautiful.    

These are currently my favourite shoes, bought in the river island sale for £12. They are the comfiest things ever and so sparkly.

Now that I've discovered the fun of fonts, it's time to move on :)

I'll Always Remember You Like A Child


I really don't think I have time for this blog. But I don't want to give up so I'm gonna try and make the odd post. 

I bought Lula today. I'd been looking for it for a while but none of my shops ever had it. I was seriously impressed by this issue. Not only we're they talking to Luella but they talked to Hannah Murray. I cannot express how much I loved Cassie from skins. I miss the old gang so much...
