I Wish He Was My Boyfriend



Blouse - H&M
Shorts - Topshop
Tights - Primark
Rosary - Rome

Pretty casual outfit from yesterday when I just sat at home watching the royal wedding. Gosh it was so magical, I was just sitting on the sofa squeeing with delight the whole time. I got up at 8.30 so I could watch it from the very beginning. I've always wanted a quickie wedding in Vegas but I found this occasion just glorious to watch. After the main ceremony my family arrived from London as they wanted to come and see Chloe. Then we went out to a nice Italian restaurant and I had a lovely pepperoni & jalapeno pizza. They had to go again at 5pm though seeing as it takes so long to travel all this way. Its always nice to see them though, not least because my mum always comes with a suitcase full of goodies for us. My mum and sister went to Rome for Easter and got me this rosary. Like I said before I'm not religious so its just a fashion thing for me. Best present was obvs the royal wedding tea towels though haha.

I bought this shirt in Manchester earlier this week from H&M. I wanted that sheer blouse from Primark that everyone in the world has in ivory but they didn't have it in stock (boo!). So I went hunting for something similar and found this shirt. I really like the lace bits on the shoulders but I'm thinking I should've bought it in a size 8. This is a size 10 but because its oversized I think it makes me look bigger than I actually am. This week I've pigged out on doughnuts & Easter eggs and I'm starting to get really fed up of people calling me fat. I was bullied from infant school onwards for being fat so for it to be happening again now when I am a size 10 & nearly 23 years old, is really starting to piss me off. I have a naturally fat face so I look fat whatever my size. So yeah this is just a note to say that the hardcore dieting starts on Monday. Lol I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant but wotevz, I hate people judging me because of my weight.

Swedish Hasbeens x H&M




Yesterday I went to Manchester for a much needed shopping trip. As well as a box of Krispy Kremes I also came away with these beauties. I'd wanted some Swedish Hasbeens for ages, specifically these t-bars but the £150 price tag was a bit out of my reach! These bad boys were only £35. They are so amazing I can't stop staring at my feet! They're really comfy too, they're one of the few pairs of heels I own that don't kill my feet after an hour. And how cute are the tote bag and care instructions they came with? I love extra touches like that, it makes my purchase seem all the more special. I think these have sold out on the website now but the Manchester store had loads in stock. So glad to have found my shoes for the Summer!

Ice Cream Shoppe




Shirt - American Apparel
Skirt - American Apparel
Tie - French Toast
Tights - Primark
Hairbow - Argos

I have no idea whats wrong with me today. I don't quite know why I'm dressed like a demented ice cream seller or why I'm pulling some really random faces in these pictures but nevermind eh? I'd wanted this lilac shirt from American Apparel for absolutely ages but I actually found it hard to dress it in a way that didn't make me look like a bank cashier. So I took it the other way and now I look rather twee haha. How cool is this tie? You might recognise the style if you're a Gossip Girl fan. I actually bought it from French Toast which is an American school uniform retailer and its where they bought the uniforms in the show (minus all the designer add ons obvs...). I'm sure most people loved all the looks Blair rocked in the first couple of seasons. I've not watched it since the crapfest that was the first few episodes of season 3 but I'm intrigued by all this Dair stuff so I'm considering catching up. Is it worth it GG fans?

I actually would really like to own an ice cream van when I'm older. Partly inspired by Duncan Bannatyne, the epic video for Today by Smashing Pumpkins and the film Trees Lounge (which I only watched because my fave actors Chloe Sevigny & Steve Buscemi are both in it, I did not know that they disturbingly get it on). Thats kind of my dream for when I'm retired, just driving around town selling whippys. If you've not seen the Today video, you must! Its one of my faves, wish I could drive around the desert going mental with a young Billy Corgan. Enjoy!
