Fighting Against What You Love...

Old Dr. Martens

I love Dr Martens. I have always loved them, but their growing popularity amongst pretty much every teenager has stopped me from getting them. I recently bought similar shoes from a different brand called Shellys [ you may have seen them in my Hackney Weekend post]. I'll post up the photos very soon. So what do you think?  If you love something, but getting it goes against your morals would you go for it? Let me know.

Vintage House

My house does not have to be big, but it must be vintage. There is nothing more important to be than having a vintage interior design in my house when I grow. My parents have kept our house modern and fresh. It certainly fits in with the time we are in, but I want my house to look old. I like it old. So old that nearly every item is double my age or at least looks it.

Paisley

As you can see from this photo, I am not the only person adding paisley to their wardrobe. I may have been one of few wearing paisley at Radio 1's festival, but it was a fashion staple on the catwalk this S/S. I was told that a paisley covered items of clothing screamed 'I should be in bed', but that person was wrong, it screams 'I shouldn't be caught dead without it'. 

BBC Radio 1: Hackney Weekend

                                                

                    

Hackney Weekend was definitely what I needed after the exams. The crazy atmosphere bolstered the perfect mix of indie, rock and pop which left me wanting more. I spent the next day tapping to my favourite tunes and explaining why I looked so tired or boasting as some would call it. On the other hand, the downside was the journey home as I didn't actually get back home until early the next day. I would do it again either way. 


I wore Urban Outfitters shorts and top with h&m hoodie, Shellys shoes and Jack Wills gilet. The feathers in my hair was a present. 

Thing of the Day: Cupcakes and Cashmere

Not only has the name of this blog stole my heart, but her nails. Any person who knows me, also knows that I have a wide selection of pink nail varnish. Not because this is my favourite colour, but because I simply love it. My love from pink nail varnish stemmed from my love for vintage clothing; I feel like my clothes, which I am sure have been worn by a 70 year old when they were an adolescent screamed for something vibrant to be worn with it. I've never thought to wear a different shade on every nail, but this subtle and elegant transition from pink to orange has inspired me to be a little bit more fun with my nails varnish. Good bye crackles and glitter, hello pink, pink and other pink.

It's Never Too Late

It has been more than a while, but I think I am back to stay. Exams definitely took over my life the last few months. They are over now so no need to worry. I was meant to wait until the summer to start a post, but these photos reminded me that it's time to get back on track. I decided to wait until the summer, however, a very small girl in a very fashionable outfit reminded me not to forget about the things I love. I seemed to have forgotten how much I love to blog. The main problem is getting back into it once you have stopped. It's so easy to become lost.  I've been blogging for a while now and hopefully the stress of growing will not make me forget that I enjoy doing this. See you tonight.

'A Mocha With an Extra Shot of Influence Please'

I love coffee. I love it black, I love it with milk, I love a frap, I love it strong, I love it iced, I love it with friends, I love it on my own, I even love an espresso. This is something many of my friends have grown to know me for. However, this was not always the case; I actually used to hate coffee. I am not sure how this changed exactly, but I know that on the way home, my friends used to always have the need to stop by the coffee shop and so my love began to grow. It started with herbal tea (which i also love), moved on to Chai Tea then hot chocolate, a mocha and eventually, I had tried nearly every coffee option in Starbucks. This has taught me over the years that friends can have the biggest influence on you. It is a weird conclusion to make, but a true one. Today it is coffee. What is it tomorrow?
