After a few weeks of travelling back and forth between Derbyshire and Sunderland, I'm finally on the mend and I'm falling back into my usual routine up North. Today I'm just having a chilled day, after I had my first exam yesterday. It went well, but I know I've got a lot to work to do before the next one. Right now I'm off to pick up an my module results from uni *fingers crossed I did okay!* Then I'll nip into town to pick up some food and come home and crack on with revision. 

This isn't my usual style, it's more rock-chick than I'd like to admit but I'm secretly (now not-so) loving it! Also it shows off my new hair do - woo!

Just like rubies

Burgundy is my colour. It always has been and it always will be. But you know what, after over three years of blogging, it seems I must've used up almost every burgundy synonym that I could possibly find to name my post, which explains why i found this one so hard to name.

However, Judy Garland was just mentioned on the telly, which reminded me of her ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz (all time fave!) and although mine aren't quite delicate time-travelling slippers, they're pretty dang cool, and they even have that ruby colouring. Saying that though, they came at a magical price of £12 in the Zara sale!

Today was the usual Thursday, however I woke up with a rather bad headache with having varsity yesterday. It was such a fun day, despite the losses, and the night out was class - we dressed up as cartoon characters.

Then I popped off to uni for an hour of shorthand followed by a meeting for Fashion North - which I've just been named Deputy Editor, of - so go have a read, yes now! Exciting times lie ahead!!

Top - Primark

Skirt- F&F @ Tesco

As for this week, it's basically over for me, as I have work tomorrow and Saturday, then Sunday will be spent practising shorthand and catching up on some much needed zzzzzzzz's.

Catch ya later huns, thanks for reading!

Travelling in Style

Today I’m travelling back to my home away from home – Sunderland. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to spend an extra week at home thus missing my first week back at uni.

The journey itself is gruelling but so far it’s been quite peaceful. Thank God there aren’t any footballers in this train carriage! – There were last time and let me tell you … they were not happy! (I’m guessing their team lost.)

We’ve just past York so I shouldn’t have too long left. However, I don’t have any Internet so by the time you read this I’ll be back at my uni flat.

In true blogger fashion, I thought: If I’m going to travel, I may as well do it in style! And I'd like to think I succeeded.

I’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to debut this gorgeous fedora for two weeks now, when my lovely friend Nic gave it to me for my birthday – thanks honey, I love it!

As for the rest of my outfit I just went for comfort – jeans and a tee – ooh and my boots because they wouldn’t fit in my case!

What I’m wearing:

Jeans – Topshop Joni

Blouse – Topshop

Cardi – Primark

Boots – New Look

Hat – Miss Selfridge

Backpack – Rocha John Rocha

Watch – Coccinelle

Necklace - Gift

By the by… there is a story behind the backpack of buttons! I collect them, and originally planned to cover the whole lip in buttons but it’s still a work in progress! But I’m sure it’ll look great when finished.

Hope you’re all well, and good luck to all with up-and-coming exams!

The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle.

The Alexander McQueen dress!

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to score a trip to the Bowes Museum in Durham to see the Birds of Paradise Exhibition.

The trip was organised by my lovely course leader Julie, and it truly was a fantastic day out. We were even able to meet and speak to the museum's fashion and textiles curator Joanna Hashagan.

The Birds of Paradise exhibition was amazing. I'm even saw the Alexander McQueen White Swan Feather dress IN THE FLESH.(See Pictures) It was in a glass cabinet but hey-ho. 

I can't express how beautiful it was to lay my eyes on such an extravagant dress. My friend Beth and I had a fabbity fab time exploring the castle and the grounds. We took some lovely photos on her snazzy camera too, which turned out pretty well since the weather was glorious for once!* Do be sure to check out Beth's blogs too here and here, and give her a cheeky follow!

*:Blogger Problems: Your outfit is always on point when the weather is crap and photos aren't even an option. 

All in all it was a fabulous day and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all.
