Kony 2012

Following my previous post on Joseph Kony, please do take time to research more not only on him, but other wanted war criminals. Kony is by no means the only one out there, unfortunately. The Daily Beast have provided their list of 7 of the most wanted war criminals. Please bare in mind that these 7 men are in the top list, not necessarily AT the top.

I promise my next posts will be more relevent to my blog!

Hello Monday!

Okay so today was shiiitt... here are some things which have cheered me up! :)

1. I've been quite obsessed with blogger Garance Doré's "Excuse My French" video series, her accent is seriously cute plus it's quite nice to see her everyday life from her perspective. Check them out here if you haven't already!
2. I'm so ready for summer... and here's a tutorial on how to make the perfect flower headband from Honestly, WTF. I actually wanted to try my hand at this last summer but I couldn't find the right materials! This summer I'm determined to do it!
3. Simple classic clothing. I'm lusting for a shopping trip (even though I'm broke as hell) and after searching on online shops, I think I'll be hitting places such as Gap, Uniqlo and Zara the most! Here's what I wore today!

Shirt- Gap Navy jumper- Old school uniform one from M&S :P

Ugh three things... still all good things come in threes. Hope everyone's had a good start to the week!

Sorry for not posting this week, I was so so busy! Vowing to post more regularly. Speaking of vowing, saw The Vow at the cinema on Saturday, it was so sad! However, I didn't cry so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but anyways, a great movie, definitely go see it if possible.

Have a great week! Xxx

Outfit posts

Saturday:

 Jumper- Dad's Leggings- H&M Kids (haha)

Sunday: 

I have such good posture... 

Accidently took this while playing with my tripod..but I kinda like it okay.
Cardigan- Dad's, Top- Charity shop, Leggings- Primark

The nailpolish I'm wearing at the moment; from Urban Outfitters

Some new & old New Ins

Old:

Mom's cardigan with faux fur lining. SO warm!

Again my mom's old silk blouse which she's let me have 

Ruffle detail of a blouse my mother found in Tk Maxx

I bought the coat for a slight discount due to the buttons falling off (which i fixed myself) from Oasis a couple of months back. It's composed with mostly wool and some polyester, and with the fur collar which is removable I AM INLOVE. The only detail I'm not keen on, however, is the stitching along the shoulder sides, I'd have preferred it to be sewn on properly to give it more of an androgynous look, but beggars can't be choosers :P

New:

Aaand once again my mother's vintage velvet earrings...I swear I don't steal all her stuff aha

I bought this necklace from Portobello market when I went there during the half term holidays. It's my new favourite necklace, I haven't stopped wearing it since purchase! Sorry the quality's crap, my camera's dying on me. On the plus side I've found a tripod for my camera, so better outfit pictures to come!

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

A funny fact

Slowly (but steadily) making my way through the piles of activities that have to get done: sorting out my room, reading emails, blog posts, making an attempt at the accumulating amount of work, buying important things like batteries and skin cream.

So sorry for the no show recently, I've got a few posts lined up as soon as my iPhoto sorts itself out and I can upload the thousands of pictures on my phone and camera! Favourite Photos of the Week tomorrow, don't forget!

Old: Outfit post

Finally the photo tab on Blogspot decided to sort itself out.. I've been meaning to post this outfit I wore to school for more than a week but the photos didn't turn up! Anyways, as you can see, decided to wear a classic white shirt with cropped at the ankle black trousers, with this necklace that I got given for my birthday. :)

SORRY for the extremely late post, the internet's been down and now that it's back up it's been quite slow :( Spent so long trying to post this that these photos are starting to become my least favourite now haha. My favourites of this week (well past week, now) have been more outfit orientated as I've been battling with my wardrobe to produce SOMETHING to wear. It seems that all I can and want to wear are jumpers and jeans and I'm getting sick of it, I want to find new ways of wearing them while staying practical at the same time! 

Tomorrow I'm off to go explore markets around London, so if anyone has any good (and cheap!!) boutiques to check out please let me know!

Have a great week!

Monday blues

Monday blues by aisha-a-a featuring kitten heels

Organic by John Patrick long sleeve t shirt, $288
Denim shirt, $60
Uniqlo striped tunic, £20
Uniqlo stretch pants, £35
Parisian Chic: A Style Guide By Ines De La Fressange, £17
River Island kitten heels, $38
POLO RALPH LAUREN v-neck jumper, £145


My current wishlist... at the moment I'm lusting everything blue! I've had a flick through the Parisian Chic book and it's definetely on my list of books to buy. Also at the moment I've been looking around for the classic blue and white striped sailors shirt. I'm guessing Uniqlo is my best option as Petit Bateau is a little out of budget.

Hope everyone's had a good day!

Bit of a flower theme going on here as I've been obsessed with flowers and pressed flower art and photography!

I've got a post coming up about my The Golden Globes so stay tuned. I also had an outfit post which I made on Polyvore but I forgot to save it and all my work it lost! :( 

Family are out so I'm just listening to The Beatles and trying to find some food to eat. 

Have a good week
