number twenty-one - As black as my heart


Top // Skirt // Jumper // Shoes // Bangle // Ring // Jeans

While the shops are littered with pastel colours at the minute, there's only a handful of ''colours'' I'm remotely interested in wearing right now and most of them seem to be on the darker end of the spectrum. My wardrobe consists mainly of black and I don't mind this at all.. in fact I like love it.
My wonderful boyfriend bought me these amazing Doc's for Valentines day and I am  in love with them! He picked them himself without any help and I think it makes me like them more- soppy right?! Anyway, They look so good with all this black clothing I've been buying/wearing recently, and the patent shine on the leather adds an extra little something to any outfit! 
All the clothing items are from Topshop I already own the fluffy crop jumper and absolutely cannot take it off! Next for me to buy will be the MOM Jeans, they are black but are slightly stonewashed which I love in jeans! Also if any of you have any Topshop MOM Jeans, you'll know the fit is super comfy which is always a plus! 
The jewellery I've added into this post is absolutely amazing and all handmade! The Great Frog London specialises in amazing unique silver pieces and I can't wait for when I can afford to get myself something, the skull bangle is to die for! I wanted to feature more jewellery in this post but ran out of some space! I've been obsessing over silver at the moment and these stores have some perfect items- Bloody Mary Metal / Empty Casket / Shop Dixi / Regal Rose
If you know of any other stores that have amazing jewellery like these please send links my way!

number twenty - absence makes the heart grow fonder



Bag // Hat // Shoes // Necklace // Dress // Thigh High Socks

I've been so busy recently that I've been finding it hard to spare any time to post on my blog, I just don't know how most girls do it! Working a full time job, seeing my friends and other various day to day things I have to do leave absolutely no time for me to post anything at all that wouldn't seem rushed and boring!

A few things are changing for me at the minute, as of next month I am moving to London! To find work and to just- (finger crossed...) lead a better life than I do here up north.. The job prospects are grim here and for a 20 year old woman it's kinda now or never with the whole skipping off to London 'on a whim' thing. It could be the best thing I ever do, it could be the worst; but its worth a try when I have absolutely no strings tying me down to where I am currently! (So as I won't be employed right away I will for sure be posting a lot lot more on here! and also documenting my London adventures.. I cannot wait!)

This little outfit post consists of some things I've had my eye on for a while- the slouchy striped dress is from Monki and I love the loose shape of it, I think it would be really flattering on my tall frame and for only £18.00 I think my minds made up. Everything else is just accessories, all black- of course! Slouchy hat, leather back pack, chunky boots and some cute thigh highs! ...and not forgetting the cute little statement necklace from Regal Rose, there's a variety of ''sayings'' to choose from but this one is my favourite!
