Teal Skies

So before i begin this post, i must apologise for my absence. i have been so caught up with exams that i have not had time to tend to my blog. So, this post is going to be a bit of what you could call a "sneaky peek" at my full Personal Style post. Recently i have been loving the blue skies and sunshine, it seems to be rather inconstant in england but its a nice reminder that the height of summer is approaching, when you can spend days on your bicycle around the city, a chance to wear florals and pretty dresses, have campouts, go long boarding and just generally have a lovely time. So my style is very much inspired by Summer, although i love winter I'm very much a summer person. i love wearing dresses and sandals, or even just an old pair of converse or vans which are amazingly practical for the summer. I suppose my style is inspired by Bohemian sort of tribal roots, i don't really dress up special every day. Most days i seem to throw on an oversized t-shirt and jeans.. although i do really like dressing up, i also love being casual and chill. These are some of the items from my personal style post. A lot of my clothes are Topshop, just warning you .. :) 

top: Topshop, shorts: Topshop

jumper: Topshop

skirt: Unknown, jacket: Vintage

sunglasses: Topshop

Leggings: H&M , Loafers: Vintage

oh so cambridge..

instagram hype. rowing. is. rather.awesome


So May, the month of beauty, nature and growth... well summer may have finally hit england!..  the past couple days have been beautiful.  This morning i woke up early to hit the river, hence the rowing photograph.. ( i went rowing if you haven't already gathered) apart from the painful blisters all was good.  so since this morning i cycled down to one of the green commons.. with my friends in the inconsistent sunshine.. we sat chilled, had grass fights and ate sushi and thai food.. last night i also took my camera outside as the sun was low and it was beautiful. Before I forget i will have a personal style post coming up very shortly! i hope you all had a lovely week, and enjoy the rest of weekend. and thank you to this libby, for mentioning me on the her blog ^_^

duvet days..

 

these are the days when you cannot be bothered to even attempt your homework, and all your concerned about is how much chocolate cake is left. So today i have lounged around, listened to music, made a film of skiing memories on my mac.. and well.. done nothing really practical.  . . however i did get my camera out and take some photos.. ( the photographs outside were taken yesterday )

Rainy Days...

droplets.. 

So in England at the moment we are experiencing the most strange and also inconvenient weather. This time last year i found my self running around in the meadows and eating strawberries.. also laughing at my dad who had fallen in the river from a punting mishap. ( i can ensure you, he was not hurt in any shape or form although he was laughed at by a group a chinese tourists )  I read so so much at this time of year so i thought i would share with you my top recent/ and not so recent favourite reads! ( this was incredibly difficult for me to decide, as i love them all )  

1.  unfortunately nothing has beaten my all time favourite The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald 

2.  Im so so so incredibly obsessed and infatuated with THE HUNGER GAMES.. a must read if you haven't already!

3.  Another old favourite Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

4.  Only recently have i actually read this book but Before I Die written by Jenny Downham is beautifully written book

5. My mum first showed me this book a few years back and i love it a lot, How to kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
