TOTALLY TRANQUIL TUESDAY
13 May 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
I'll be spending the entire day working from home as I have only one lesson and my teacher isn't available. I would say one of the perks of being in sixth form are the free periods and cancelled lessons. It's like the weight of textbooks lifted off your shoulders. So as I won't be going anywhere today, I'm wearing this huge floaty shirt from Primark. I bought this shirt two sizes bigger because I know Primark sizes can bit a little smaller than other shops, but I wanted the shirt to be quite floaty and oversized because I love the pattern. It has a mirror effect all over with swans and flowers everywhere. I think it's a great top for spring because of the traces of pastel colours which were a major trend in spring, and the hints of floral - another huge trend on the spring catwalks.
I'm also wearing plain black leggings that my mum made, that have a disco-like effect in them. These leggings are made out of a stretchier fabric that plain jersey leggings which makes them super soft and comfortable, great for a lazy day in. Finally, my shoes are from Sports Direct, and the brand is Nike. I don't wear shoes inside, but if I were to nip out, I would wear these shoes because they brighten up the bottom of my outfit, as my leggings are dark, and the colour tones well with my shirt.

MERRY MONDAYS
12 May 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
Mondays aren't really the worst day of the week for me. I have the morning off, which means the temptation to stay in bed and watch Jeremy Kyle is incredibly strong, but I have time to blog, and prepare for my lessons which start in the afternoon. Today I'm wearing this really chunky jumper from Topshop that I bought in their spring sale. The weather is really strange today, but it looks like it will eventually be quite cold so I'm wearing this to cosy up in during my lesson, and be warm enough to walk home in. Over that, my leather jacket is from Miss Selfridge which I've had for a while and is easily one of my favourite clothing items. I love leather as a fabric, but leather jackets are incredibly versatile, not to mention waterproof so perfect for a day like today.
My jeans are from Topshop, which I only recently bought, and have become my third pair of charcoal jeans. I just really like charcoal jeans, and the more the better. The colour has really grown on me, and these jeans are MOTO which means they're super soft and sensible for school. Both my shoes and bag are from Next; my bag is one of my favourite because it's oversized and I can through everything in it. I have used it as a carry-on, a school bag, and overnight bag and everything else. The bag also has zips down the side so it does expand to make the bag even bigger. My shoes were bought recently and I love the little heel, and that they're so comfortable I can even wear them to school. They're also really easy to walk in which I always look for in a high heel.

VELVET SPLASHES AND SIMPLE SUEDE
10 May 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
My 'splash dress' is one of my favourite dresses because it's unique to my style and wardrobe. I chose the fabric myself, and the style of the dress, which means it's highly unlikely anyone else will be wearing the same attire. I really liked the splashes of colour, and how they work really well with each other. They're also velvet juxtaposed with a jersey fabric which give them that extra shine. Velvet is one of my weakness fabrics because of it's unique texture and how it can highlight any assets of an outfit. My dress was made by my mum so it's made to fit, but I also had a dress made that has the extra 'splash' fabric on top, and on the bottom is plain black jersey so I have two to chose from. My coat is from Topshop, which I'm wearing due to the awful weather today - it's May but it's been raining nearly week! I'm carrying my everyday handbag from Next which I am back to loving, it just perfectly fits all my essentials in, without having to carry a large bag that is floppy because it's almost empty. My shoes are from Brantano, and the brand is Front. I have really gown to love these shoes because I can really wear them with any outfit. The simple suede means they're also formal enough to wear to the less-casual occasions but can still be styled with jeans or a dress.

BACK TO BLACK AND BLUE
8 May 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
This week has been incredibly busy, to say the least. I've been out and about every day, from working to school work to meetings and so forth. Today, I have a whole day mounting the work from my graphics exam onto huge pieces of A1 sized card to be presented and marked, which means I need to be in a super comfortable outfit because I know I'll be working through lunch.
My jumper is a plain black one, my mum made for me which I originally wanted for an exam as I hate being uncomfortable in exams. Sitting in awkward clothing makes it harder to concentrate, so I wanted a really simple jumper that will keep me warm and comfy. My coat is from Dorothy Perkins, which is the only 'pop of colour' in this outfit, which does brighten up the whole ensamble on this gloomy spring day. My leggings are also 'homemade' and perfect for a colder day like today because the fabric is thicker than standard cotton and lycra leggings. It's almost disco-like as there is an element of shine but they don't have a plastic or leather feel which makes them ideal for walking or having to move around in. As I'm mounting huge boards, I chose these leggings due to their extra stretch and flexibility. My shoes are simple black and white hi-top Converse for Schuh, that I bought a while ago and are still reliable and my go-to shoe for comfort. Finally, my bag was bought when I was on holiday in Salou, Spain, and I'm carrying as I don't need too much with me today, but I am carrying a notebook so I need a larger handbag.

CK CITY QUEEN
6 May 2014
Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK
Today is very exciting. Not only is it a wishlist day which means I can bask in the glory of 'online window shopping' and spend hours flicking through and creating sets on Polyvore, it's also the day I pick up my new tripod which was delivered to the Post Office yesterday, which means I'll have an all new and exotic setting for my photos. It gets unbelievably warm in my bedroom sometimes so it's nice to have a new background.
The paring on my wishlist is the Alexander Wang Cropped Top and the Theyskens' Theory Quilted Skirt. I really like these two simple colours, light colours pair with every colour in a wardrobe and I really like the tone of the pastel blue in the skirt. The a-line skirt also has a saddle hemline which I think is quite unique to many other mini skirts, and the Alexander Wang top has tiny hints of blue in to tie the whole outfit together. I chose the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Clutch to be included in this wishlist set because of the stunning colour but simple design. This outfit has a very 'chic' look to it so I thought a fold clutch would be perfect, and the colours link well together. I spotted these Jeffrey Campbell Shoop Platforms on the Nasty Gal mobile app and decided they had to be included in my next wishlist. I really like the grey-on-white style and they're a soft leather texture which is always a bonus. Nasty Gal has been one of my store favourite for a while now, ever since I came across the store account on Instagram I have been obsessed with their quirky but stylish pieces.
I have included the CK One Volumizing Mascara because I'm interested in buying a new mascara as I have been using Rimmel's range for a while. The mascara claims it "amplifies, shapes, and lifts every lash for maximum volume" so it's going straight to the top of my list, and going to be my next beauty-buy.
