Alive beneath cherry blossoms

I haven't forgotten about you all, I promise. If it makes you feel any better the 24 blog-less (?) days haven't been the most exciting; in fact they've been mostly filled with eating excessive amounts of chocolate and distracting myself from exam revision. So I suppose my excuses are pretty legitimate. Give it time though, on June 14th I'll be officially finished with exams (Yeaaahh) and will have many more hours to spend here; in fact, not to spoil any surprises, but I believe a blog make-over may even be on the cards! Recently I've been collecting a few items for summer/work experience/ sixth form so I thought I'd do a mini haul to show you all my most recent purchases. You may notice that I've found my Topshop obsession. There was a point in my life where the shop stopped 'exciting' me, although I have to admit that at present they've got some pretty sweet things- I definitely recommend a visit! I must however try my very best to drag myself out of my Topshop phase; I knew it was getting too much when I left the house at the weekend wearing the brand head to toe (and yes, I am including underwear...)

Knitted Crop Sweat- Topshop

 

Shadow Floral Tee- Topshop

Wills 2 Black Flatforms- Topshop

I'm an idiot. I just thought I'd tell you all myself before you came to the conclusion on your own. You may have noticed, the more observant of you anyway, that I appear to have only one ankle strap on my flatforms; this is correct. On Saturday, wearing my flatforms for the very first time, I went to the beach and after covering myself head to toe in sand decided it would be a good idea to go home, on the train, barefoot carrying my shoes alongside. It wasn't until I got home that I realised I must have dropped an ankle strap on the way. Idiotic as it may sound it is quite an unusual occurrence for me; I have always, in comparison to my sister anyway, had a lot of respect for my possessions, looking after them correctly etc.  I'm currently in the process of getting two new ankle straps made (fingers crossed) but if anyone living in the Gosforth- Tynemouth region spots a lonely look leather strap then please let me know!

White Biker Jacket- & Other Stories

I'm putting this jacket in the haul even though I technically bought it 2 months ago! This jacket was my first purchase from the store and I have to say was very impressed! Ordering of the internet, it came fairly quickly in the post, beautifully packaged and I received two free beauty samples! The 'Punk Bouquet' body lotion was extremly lovely in particular; I will not attempt to describe its scent to you all! The jacket itself is really versatile although I have occasionally felt like a bit of a WAG wearing it; it also gets dirty very quickly, as I expected I admit.

Pink Punch Nail polish- Ice Neon Collection, Models Own

Picked this up in Boots last week, it's a really nice fresh summer colour. I would upload a photograph of it on my nails but I have the most appalling hands!

 Thanks for reading and I will see you soon!

With thanks to my photographer
