What I wore to my graduation






If you don't follow me on social media then you probably won't know that this time last week I was graduating from the University of Lincoln. I won't delve too much into the day itself but it truly was a special and proud day. The ceremony itself was held in Lincoln's cathedral and castle which created a magical setting.

The university's colours are blue and yellow so I instantly knew I wanted to wear a blue dress. Chi Chi very kindly sent me their Jenny dress* which is absolutely beautiful. It's such a princess dress and extremely well made. It has a low back but luckily comes complete with a padded bust meaning that there's no need to wear a bra. As someone with DD boobs I can vouch for the padding and say it worked very well - I was even complimented on how "great" my boobs looked on the day. Ahh, boys. 

I bought my shoes from the New Look sale and although they weren't the most comfortable, they were very easy to walk in. If you've ever been to Lincoln then you'll realise how important a good pair of shoes is - there streets are cobbled! I wore a simple necklace from Primark and my fake tan is by Nottingham's Saks salon and Xen-Tan (which I've reviewed before). The nail polish on my toes is KIKO's Poker Nail Lacquer in 05* and on my fingernails is Models Own's Coconut Cream*. 

What did you wear to your graduation?

WISHLIST | Workwear wardrobe


Ever since working at The Nottingham Post, I've been loving classy "grown-up" type clothes. My style has changed a lot over these past few weeks and in all honesty, I couldn't be happier with my wardrobe. There are a few other items that I'd like to add to it so I thought I'd compile a wishlist. Not just for me to remember what to buy on pay day, but for you too. In case you're looking to part with your cash for a few new items.

All items are either from Espirit or New Look, both sites that I've been loving a lot recently. The best thing about Espirit is that delivery is free. I'm someone who hates paying postage and would rather spend an extra £20 to avoid the cost. The website also has some beautiful work wear clothing. New Look speaks for itself really - I love the fact that I still have a years worth of student discount left.


What items of clothing are currently on your wishlist?

Outfit of the day and a blogging break

Recently my blogging schedule has gone out of the window and I've decided to take a bit of a blogging break. This could be for a couple of days, a couple of weeks or even a few months. I won't go into too much detail but I think I need a bit of me-time, and a step away from social media. It won't be forever, I absolutely adore blogging and the escape it provides me. But I need to put myself first sometimes.

In case you didn't know, I've been working for The Nottingham Post for the past four weeks and because of this, I've featured in their newspaper and on their website a couple of times. If you're interested, you can view my features here and here. I quite like the outfit that I put together for their "fashion blogger" segment so decided to showcase it on my blog.

I do apologise about the photo. It's no secret that I'm useless when it comes to taking outfit photos. But the sun was shining so I definitely made the most. I've recently been adoring midi skirts as I find them flattering and classy. I'd be eyeing up this one from Matalan for ages so when I saw it in the sale, I knew I had to snap it up. I also love the fact that it's pink too.

Top: Matalan
Skirt: Matalan
Necklace: New Look
Shoes: Primark

What clothing items have you been loving recently?

WISHLIST: Peplum

WISHLIST: Peplum



If there's one fashion trend I'm loving at the moment, it's peplum. Recently, I bought my first peplum top from Asda (you can find it here and it retails for £12) and needless to say, I've fallen in love with it. You can see my peplum top in the picture to the left; it's plain white and looks lovely teamed with my new pink trousers. My mum was a little bit worried about me buying a white top to start with as I normally can't keep them clean - oops! The style and fit of peplum items really suit my figure and I love that they cover up my stomach which is an area I'm really self conscious of. I will definitely be investing in more peplum style items soon and the ones listed above are the ones I've got my eyes on. What do you think of this trend?

POLYVORE: Spring daytime fashion

Spring daytime fashion

Spring daytime fashion by bamboozlebeauty
I've been playing around on Polyvore again - guilty! This time, the outfit was centred around Disco Pants. I own my own cheap eBay pair but they don't have the ever-so-famous button and zip on them so I'm currently on the look out for some new ones. I'm addicted to them. I think they're easy to wear, comfortable and extremely stylish. As soon as saw the New Look blouse, I fell in love. I think it's a great way to "dress up" an outfit and I love Peter Pan Collars - they're adorable. The bag, shoes and sunglasses give the outfit a little bit of colour and also match perfectly together. I chose Britney's Island Fantasy fragrance as it's a recent purchase of mine. Fragrance finishes an outfit off for me and this one is perfect for Spring/Summer in the day time as it's light, fruity and fresh.

POLYVORE: Basic T-Shirts

Basic T-Shirts


Since losing weight. I've become obsessed with basic t-shirts. I tend to buy them a size bigger so that they're slouchy and oversized - to me, they look and feel more comfortable. The t-shirts above are my favourites at the moment. I'd wear them all with disco pants or jeans. They're very easy to throw on when going shopping or attending a lecture. On the subject of fashion, make sure you check out my Celeb Style: Selena Gomez post for the e-tailPR blog and let me know what you think. Also, let me know if you like these Polyvore posts. I sure do enjoy making them and I seem to get positive feedback about them on Twitter.
Which t-shirt is your favourite? Do you like these kind of posts?

POLYVORE: Cat wishlist

Cat wishlist



I love cats. There's no doubting that. And I'm loving all of the cat clothing that's making its way onto the high street at the minute. So I thought I'd compile a Polyvore wishlist with all of the cat clothing I'm currently lusting over - oh student loan, I do wish you'd hurry up! I'm in desperate need of the Topshop and Dorothy Perkins jumpers, the River Island skirt and the New Look tshirt. What do you think about the cat clothing trend? Do you love cats? Post your favourite cat items below.
