Let the sun shine...

Trenchcoat: H&M
Playsuit + Shoes: Zara
Sunnies: Vintage shop
Handbag: H&M


Can you believe it, we finally have some good weather round here...yes the sunnies are out! This coat I picked up a few days ago with my lovely friend/blogger kate, is perfect for the spring/summer season. It's very lightweight and seems to go with just about anything. So it's no Burberry trench coat but for £24.99 theres no room to complain. It did make me feel a little bit like Audrey Hepburn, ah only a girl can dream.
 So it's nearly end of the week, can you believe it ? Deadlines are approaching, which means i'm spending the majority of my time in Pret with my laptop slaving away, few more weeks and it will all be over. Hope your all having a lovely week!?! 

P.s. Just reached 73 followers and for 1 month blogging I guess thats not bad going, so thank you guys!! Onwards and Upwards!!

"My favourite thing at the moment is monochrome with a touch of colour"

As many of you may already know I'm not a true Londoner, actually I have no southern blood within me, I'm a pure northern soul! This weekend I ventured back to the country to see my truly missed family and friends. It's been a pretty hectic weekend but I'm not complaining, I managed to see some of my favourite people and places that I have been wanting to share with you for a while.

Since being in London I've had many comments on "What is there actually to do up North"? Seems for some southerners that the north is the forbidden land, but why, we have some of the most beautiful places and as many of you know, we are known for being one of the friendliest of faces! (Did you like what I did there?)

Yesterday I ventured to Manchester with my friend Andrew, and for once in my life I didn't really do much shopping. Catching up took time so we thought why not over a few cocktails! I finally got to try Manchester's famous cocktail bar 'The Alchemist'. From the sophisticated interior and their crazy concoctions, I could only presume I would be burning a huge hole through this student purse of mine, however they proved me wrong! Alcoholic refreshments from £6 and damm they are tasty, I just couldn't get enough...I must recomenend Passion Martini!!!

For dinner aka Lunch as us northerners say, we headed towards something a little more low key towards the northern quarters of MCR and came across a cherpy burger and mexican bar called Luck Lust Liquor & Burn. It's a laid back restaurant with friendly and approachable service, and the food I could not fault, the americana dreaming burger was exactly what it said! Listening to Bob Marley and sipping on even more cocktails was the perfect way to end the day!

Manchester you never let me down!

Let me know if you have any recommendations within Manchester and London, I would love to try?

H&M Haul...

Top,Skirt and Bag: H&M

Shoes and Hat: Topshop

Coat: Zara

Necklace: Borrowed from my necklace hoarder friend Ellie!

Having lectures at the Oxford Street campus is not healthy for any student pocket. Last week I found myself hunting after uni for face products, instead I came home with a large bag full of H&M goodies...not going to lie, It felt good! 

Purchase one: The classic black bag and for £34.99 I just couldn't resist. I've never been one of those designer bag girls and to be honest my Cath Kidston bag has stood by me for years. However I felt it was time to invest In a bag that goes with everything, that is sturdy and fits every girls essential items in! And this back certainly does the trick! I had been searching for weeks in all high street stores, yet never expected H&M to be the shop! 

Purchase two: Black midi skirt and at the price of £24.99 why not! If your after a skirt that enhances curves yet hides any lumps and bumps, then this skirt is definitely for yourself! I find people are always worried when It comes to midi skirts, but when paired with some heeled boots or for the warmer weather a pair of heeled sandals, you never have to worry even If you are more of a petite shape. This skirt has really flattering pleats and a subtle crinckled texture, so its not just all plain and boring!

Purchase three: So the last of my purchases was actually a last minute impulsive buy...typical me! A white stretch jersey crop top and If any of you know me personally, cropped is not my forte. However paired with anything high waisted It really defines shape. I am officially now a crop top convert!!! And may I slip In that It was only £5.99...very cheeky buy indeed!

So H&M you have done me proud, I've never really been a fan of H&M but since  my move to London, the stores here are full of many more treats than the smaller stores back up North, so don't let it put you off!! All these items are still currently online, let me know what your latest buys from H&M are, I would love to see ?!?
