My Spring LookBook

I've loved looking at other people's lookbooks for a long time now. Whether they be clothes, make up, hairstyles, I've been hooked since day one. Considering how much I love looking through or watching them, I decided it was about time that I gave one a go. I wanted to do a video but considering my editing skills are non-existent and I haven't really had time to learn recently. Oh, and my confidence is almost as none existent as my editing skills. Barbara Palvin I am not. I decided there was something about photos that seemed a little less scary than a video.

I have a good camera, a whole wardrobe full of clothes and love putting outfits together so what could possibly go wrong? Answer; everything. Yes, that's very pessimistic of me, I know, but for some reason I was lacking inspiration and felt that every outfit I put together just didn't look right. Not only that, but none of the pictures came out how I'd imagined and the weather clearly wasn't on our side. 

We took the photos on what started of as a lovely, sunny, warm day that slowly got greyer and windier up until the point that we had to go inside. We figured that at this point, it wouldn't matter. We'd been taking photos for over two hours and I'd made multiple outfit changes so we had a quick look through the pictures and I was very disappointed though tried not to show it. 

I had another look through today and decided they weren't as bad as I'd previously thought (though still not how I'd imagined) but, after being assured that they were fine, I edited them down from one hundred and fifty-something to the ones you will see in this post! 

Topshop Playsuits, Jumpsuits and Pyjama wear.

We are officially nearing the half-way point of February, and with that are coming the first signs of Spring (in Spain anyway!); the almond blossom is blooming, days are getting longer and my legs are itching to come out! Okay, that last one might be a bit of an exaggeration and probably isn't a sign that Spring is on it's way for most, but I am 100% ready to wear amazing outfits without shivering to the bone and being petrified that I am going to get pneumonia. Admittedly, I am probably going to have to do a rather a lot of sunbathing in the comfort of my own home to get a bit of a tan before getting my legs out, as my paleness might just blind people. So, if winter could please hurry up and leave, I'd be really greatful. I am officially counting down the days before I can put my winter coat away and leave the house without wearing 5 layers. Yes, I live in the Costa del Sol so probably don't have as much right to complain about the cold as many other people, but I am British and complaining is what we do best. 

I think it's fair to say that I have spent most of the past few Winter months spending endless hours on fashion blogs, websites and online clothes stores, searching for some key pieces to add to my wardrobe in time for warmer weather. Surprise, surprise, a few of my favourite pieces were from Topshop! Well, I saw a few but it's basically each and everyone of their playsuits, jumpsuits and everyday pyjama-style wear. The only things stopping me from buying something are a.) I'd never be able to narrow it down to one choice and b.) if I bought one, I know I'd never be able to stop myself from buying more. Willpower at it's finest. 

January Favourites

Hello everyone!

So, it's coming towards the end of the first month of 2014. Can you believe how fast it's gone?! For me this month has truly flown by and I'm pretty that has something to do with me having my first exams of the year, getting back into a routine and therefore just not having as much free time as I would like. This is probably a good thing considering it means I'm not spending all my time lying in bed, eating and scrolling endlessly through tumblr. Instead, I am getting out there and getting stuff done, which some of you may remember was one of my 2014 resolutions. Here's hoping I continue it!

So, as it's coming to the end of the month I thought that a fitting blogpost would be my January favourites! I don't go through enough products to make this a monthly thing, but since doing my September favourites and my 2013 favourites, I seem to have accumulated enough stuff to make a post about it! I know many people tend to just stick to beauty, but I thought I'd do a whole collection of stuff.

It's official - I'm OBSESSED with my friends

Hello everyone! 

It feels like it's been absolutely ages that I've written or posted a blog post, and I suppose it has. My last post, which was a What's in my Bag, and my next post were written shortly after New Year but left as a draft just in case I didn't find the time to blog much throughout January. I knew this would happen as despite not having anything on yet seeming to having everything on at the same time (I don't know how either) I haven't really found time to do much.

Anyway, after that quick little catch up, let's get on with my blog post! Today's post is all about what I did yesterday. I had the most amazing day with some of my favourite people and, it's official, I am obsessed with my friends. I had a massive smile plastered on my face all day and then came home feeling warm and bubbly inside. It's good to know that even when you have a lot going on elsewhere, your friends are always there to take your mind off of things.

My New Year's Resolutions

Another blogger doing a post on their New Year's Resolutions? Original, I know, but I thought if I did them here then it might mean that I actually stick to them. I'm really interested to hear all yours too, so be sure to let me know in the comments below!

I've only set myself a few, and I think they're a bit different to the ones I usually make, and by that I mean they're actually achievable and things that I might work at to keep. So, here we go...

A Second Christmas!

Hello everyone! We are now officially three days into 2014 and I feel like all I've done is lie in my pyjamas in bed and read or blog, which admittedly is exactly what I've done. I'm determined to change this so I am going to spend the rest of today planning some blog posts for January, writing a few of them, taking some photos, sending some emails, ordering birthday and thank you presents for people and maybe even going for a run! Maybe then I will feel like I'm doing something to make 2014 a good year, but I suppose there are another 362 days of the year left so plenty of time to go!

As everyone knows, the Christmas period "officially" ends on the 6th of January, which is actually the day Spain celebrate Christmas, so I plan on milking it for all it's worth until then, hence another Christmassy style post. I had planned on getting up reasonably early this morning, or at least earlier than usual, to go to the post office as I was expecting some Christmas presents that hadn't arrived yet. Unfortunately this didn't happen and I eventually ended up waking up at 1pm so I was rather thankful to find that someone had gone for me and left my presents on the bench. 

NYE

Hello everyone! Well, I guess that's it; 2013 is officially over. Is it just me that still doesn't quite believe that and finds it quite difficult to even say 2014 aloud. I'm not looking forward to going back to college as I know I'm going to struggle to write the date. Even in the final days before we broke up for Christmas break I was getting the date wrong, both month and year. The most memorable occasion was when I wrote 2010 on an exam. I'm clearly special. 

So, did you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve? Let me know all about it in the comments below! I actually love hearing about how people spend their day, especially when it's the polar opposite to how I spent mine. 

Mine was quite low key to be honest. Believe it or not, one of my most memorable moments was going to get some chocolate on the night of the 30th/early morning of the 31st at about 2am only to find this...

A Winter Hike

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well and enjoying your time off. We have finally finished all the turkey and all the other leftovers, but I am still craving pigs in blankets and chocolate. Why does Christmas always seem to fly by?! As much I'd love to celebrate Christmas 365 days of the year, I'm sure there would be slight pandemonium throughout the world and nearly everyone would go bankrupt but maybe it would be worth it... No? Just me then.

Anyway, back to the matter in hand, and that is of course a brand new blog post for all you people! I recently blogged about the surprise and sheer horror of me actually getting dressed everyday during the Christmas period and something else I've done on a daily basis is go for a run or a hike! Trust me, this is even more shocking than me getting dressed. I feel like I need to have a sit down just thinking about it but alas, straight after I've finished this post I plan on going on (brace yourselves) another run! 

My Christmas Outfits

Hello everyone! Three posts in a row? Wow, it seems that I really am back into the swing of blogging. My New Year's Resolution was actually to blog more. 2014 hasn't even begun yet and I already seem to have conquered that. Let's just hope I haven't peeked too soon. 

Just a quick post today. During the festive period, I tend to spend most of my time in my pyjamas. Obviously I get properly dressed for christmas day, new year's year and of course when I go out but other than that it's all about comfy pjs and hoodies! It's weird, I adore fashion, would love to have a career in fashion and love planning my outfits for both college and whenever I'm going out, so the fact that I don't normally get dressed for a good three weeks during the Christmas holidays is slightly odd (but still definitely needed!). This year however, I am yet to spend an entire day in my pyjamas! I've either been out or had friends round so I've been dressed everyday, and even when I haven't been out, I've at least been in comfy clothes instead of pyjamas. Because of this, I thought it would be fun to share my outfits from the past three days with you guys.

Christmas Fun

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well that you've had a wonderful few days full of Christmas spirit. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that we know have a whole year to wait before celebrating Christmas again. On a positive note, at least we still have a few lazy December days and New Years Eve to look forward to.

Today's blog post is all about what I did on both Christmas and Boxing Day, what I ate and, most importantly, what I wore! 

I'll start with Christmas Eve night. My Mam spent the majority of the day cooking, both for us and for some clients whereas I spent the majority of the day deciding what I was going to wear on Christmas day and having a bit of a pampering session. Completely different days but at least we were both doing things we love! Thankfully I didn't have to wrap any presents as they'd all been either bought online or wrapped and put under the tree about two agos. My Mam on the other hand woke up at about 10am on Christmas morning and realised that she hadn't wrapped my Christmas presents. I wasn't impressed, so not impressed in fact that I made her go straight back to her room and wrap them before she had the chance to do anything else. What a Scrooge, ey?!
