Sunny Days
It’s been such lovely weather recently - I’m not used to it! The shirt here is from topshop, the satchel Oasap and the skirt Romwe (the ice cream is Co-op but I’m sure no one is really interested in that.)
I don’t usually take my camera with me, but I’ve been trying to remember it more often in the nice weather, and it turned into a little impromptu photoshoot in a field earlier this week.
I even managed to get a snap of my boyfriend striking a pose
I swear it is the hardest thing to get a “serious” photo of him! His facebook profile pictures are all him striking the strangest poses
But I hope the warm weather lasts because sunny days are such a nice change
(shirt and shorts both Romwe. Shoes from Primark) -

I have something exciting and giveaway shaped to post tomorrow, but until then it’s been a while since I made an outfit post.

Well it’s nearly June. How did that happen?
Got sent this lovely dress from Reecn. They have quite a nice selection of items on there, but this dress stood out to me.
I’ve seen it pop up in a few different online clothing stores, and every time I see it I like it so I decided to just go for it.
Tomorrow I’ll be posting a giveaway wherein you can win a dress like this one, but in a different colour from Romwe, so keep your eyes out for that if you like how this one looks.

Both the dress and satchel are from Oasap.
The minute I saw this dress I fell in love - it reminded me of Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 that I love so dearly. And the bag is basically perfect. I love satchels, I love cream, I love bags that don’t have straps so long they hit the floor when I carry them… Ah, perfect satchel.I always feel bad about the lack of variety in photos on here, and while there’s been nice weather at the moment I’ve been trying to take my camera out with me more. Only problems are
A) My camera is awful. The only reason I can get half decent photos inside is because I know the lighting in my bedroom inside out so I know what works.
B) Neither I nor my boyfriend are photographers, so neither of us are good at getting good outdoor photos.
Nonetheless, I have a few outdoor photos to post soon from today and yesterday now that summer has finally arrived.As per usual, Lookbook look title songs:

Sure they’re a bit overplayed here in England (or at least they were. I remember a few years ago not being able to turn the tv on without seeing one advert using one of their songs) but they’re good enough that it’s acceptable.#2 The Front Bottoms - Looking Like You Just Woke Up

Since you don't attend a uni, what do you do with your days? Do you have a job of some sort?

I’ve been at college up until last week finishing off A-Levels.
And now I’m hunting for a full-time job for the next year or so while I save up a bit for uni.
sorry to be so nosy, but I just read the last question, so you don't go to school?
Anonymous
Nope, schooling stops at 16 in England.
(post 16 is then 6th form which can be at a school or college until you finish A Levels, but isn’t really classed as “school” usually.)
Hi, I like your blog :) Just curious, do you miss high school or did you hate it?
Anonymous
I didn’t really hate it, but I don’t really miss it either.
I was always quite quiet and passive towards anything that happened there so there’s not much to miss, but at the same time nothing bad enough happened for me to hate it.
A lot of indifference towards it.
Hi. I really really like your looks on lookbook, plus your pretty face and vintage style of your photos. Hihi where do you edit photos? :)
Anonymous
Aw thank you!
I use photoshop to edit photos! :)
hi! clothes can be so ridiculously expensive, so i was wondering how you have the money to buy so much cute clothing! do you have an awesome job, wait for sales or...?~
I get sent a lot of stuff for free. :)
So far this year I’ve actually only bought two items of clothing (a £5 dress from ebay and a £30 pair of boots from topshop) and apart from that everything I’ve been getting have been things I’ve been allowed to pick and get sent for free from companies looking to do Lookbook collaborations. :)
will you ship the dress anywhere?

It’s Romwe who will be shipping the dress as it’s a sponsored giveaway, so I should think so! :)
What will you wear If you go to rock/metal concert ? Jeans Shorts and T-shirt with the band is ok ?
Hmm, wearing band tshirts to the band’s gig always seems a contentious issue!
For a metal band you’re probably okay. If it’s something on the more indie side of things, sometimes its safer to go with something not band related. I’ve known fans of indie-rock type bands who think wearing a tshirt to a band’s show is “try-hard” whereas I know metal fans who think it’s a great way to show support. It all depends on the bands’ fans!
Jean shorts sound fine though! :)
