OOTN: Bank Holiday in Bristol





Shirt Topshop
Shorts H&M (here)
Shoes New Look (a looong time ago)
Bag Dorothy Perkins (but a present)
Burnt thighs Model's own 

I wore this outfit to go out in Bristol on as it was my friend Rosie's birthday on Sunday. She is one of my favourites. Going home is great because I still have my old bedroom (thanks parents :)) and old wardrobe. This means that I don't have to take a ton of stuff back every time because I can rediscover old favourites, which I did with these shoes and clutch. I have especially fallen in love with the shoes again, I remember they were my first New Look employee discount purchase back in 2008! I love how the clutch gives the outfit a bright pop of colour too. 

On Saturday I also got a tattoo! Me and Rosie have wanted matching ones since this post back in 2011, and it only took us 2 and a half years to pluck up the courage. 




Rosie has exactly the same but I have it on my left side and she has it on her right, so when we hug they do too. Hahaha so cheesy but so true. 





What a beaut she is.

OOTD: Vintage Florals







Top Battersea boot sale
Leggings New Look
Shoes Topshop (ooollld)
Ring River Island

My friend and I went to Battersea car boot sale for the first time on Sunday and I had a lovely time. I bought the top above, a shirt originally from Topshop and a super cute necklace, all for under £10. I had a delicious cheese, potato and onion pasty followed by a lovely sit down in Battersea park observing the many breeds of dogs being walked. The winner was a sausage dog, they are the best-so close to the ground. It's nice to explore different parts of London- it feels like each area is a little city of its own. 

Tomorrow I am heading to a photoshoot as the company I work for are revamping their advertisements- I don't really know what I'll be doing, I just asked to go along as I thought it would be fun experience. Should be more exciting than the average day at work!

Here are some better photos of my nails:



I love the mix of colours. It does upset me slightly that on one hand my nails are clearly longer than the other, however I can't bring myself to cut the long ones. So I will be strong, and try to cope.

Nail Polish Favourites: Blues

I heart nail polish. If there was a nail polish anonymous I would be there every week. 

Recently, I've been sporting a lot of blue polishes- I think they are really fresh for Spring and I think they suit my skin tone. Here are my favourite blue hues:




I think my favourite of all the above is Chelsea Physic Garden by Nails Inc- it's such a pretty, vibrant blue, almost a neon. This is closely followed by Miss Sporty's Pop Art which is a great dupe for Nails Inc's Baker Street, but at a snip of the price. 

Side note: Is it American to say 'nail polish' and English to say 'nail varnish'? When I was younger I always used to say nail varnish but I say nail polish more now, probably because most blogs and magazines tend to do so. Is saying nail varnish just really un-cool now? Also, on a side note to the side note why is everything now singular e.g. 'a red lip' 'a printed trouser' 'an ankle boot'? Sometimes I dislike fashion speak. Anyway, rant over haha! 

Do you like blue nail varnish for spring?
