WHITE HERE, WHITE NOW

If you are one of my closest friends, chances are that this is perhaps the sixth time you see me announcing the latest publication of the Surrey Scholar. You can head straight here to check out my "White here, White now" article to get more info on the pieces included in this outfit inspiration collage as well as collages of some other looks. There are other articles such as Jodie's take on the MET Gala punk theme  as well as Claire's way to recreate some of the best looks . Lottie interviews Lily Rice - the young woman behind the up and coming sportswear brand Lexie Sport  as well as covering the fashion behind the famous "reality" TV show Made In Chelsea, whilst Claire documents her recent trip to the Vogue Festival.

PAISLEY IN PARIS

The Manfriend and I spent all day saturday walking around Paris which started off with seeing the Sacré Coeur. We then headed to the Pont des Arts to put a padlock on the bridge. I desperately wanted wear these trousers but it was a little too chilly so I sneakily wore my Leigh jeans underneath. I wore my new Primark flats which was a major mistake because I am a solid size 5.5 in UK stores but in H&M a size EUR 38 fits perfectly. I am back in the UK now and working on my final assignment of the year before really cracking down on some intense studying hours. I will probably lose count of the amount of tea breaks I take over the next couple of weeks!

BON VOYAGE

The UK is now back to its usual drizzly self so yesterday the boots and the jeggings came out again. I went into town with a friend to do a bit of summer clothes shopping, which seems kinda silly now the the good weather has decided to pack its bags and take a hike. I got a bunch of new things which will hopefully be making appearances in my outfits over the next week or so. There will be an interesting change of background in photos soon because I am actually currently on my way to Paris. Fingers and toes crossed for amazing weather tomorrow because this gal is going to Disneyland!

TWO SUGARS AND A CREAM

I realise that this outfit is pretty similar to the last one but I really could not think of a better outfit than this one to wear one another super hot day (spent in the library of course). This backpack is without a doubt going to be making regular appearances now that I am peeling myself away from watching Scrubs all day and going to the library with a full packed lunch! I hate being feeling warm when it's hot (and cold when it's cold) which sounds really silly now that I have written out but it makes somewhat sense, right? An all-white outfit is the perfect solution to my little predicament.

PEARLS & BACKPACK

I spent the day in the good ol' library yesterday and this is what I wore. It may seem like a bit of a fancy pants outfit to wear whilst I sob over coursework but if you break it down bit by bit it really is just an outfit of simple/casual things with the exception of the statement necklace. It was so warm that I really was not up for wearing a black pair of leggings so these New Look high-waisted short were an obvious option. I tried to do something a little bit different with my hair by wrapping a few strands to hide the hair band - nothing too extravagant. My Urban Outfitters backpack has really come in handy for those long trips to the library when I drag so many books with me but realistically will only look at one. I hope you guy are all studying hard for upcoming exams! ❤

WHITE

I have been really excited waiting for these photos to come out! I did a shoot with Kristiana and Tina whilst back in Luxembourg and the theme was white - we of course wanted to incorporate just a touch of colour into it so we did this by wearing clothes with soft floral patterns and pretty pastels. The dress I am wearing below is from AX Paris and I actually also have it in black! Seeing these photos again since doing the shoot has made me even more eager to step out of my black leggings/black top comfort zone and wear more spring-y, light coloured, brighter outfits.
