I cannot wait for spring/summer 2014! Any girlie girls loves her pastel colours so this upcoming season I will be in my element. I've been browsing online stores and found these pastel items - I cannot wait to splurge on some key pieces to see my through the season. Are you looking forward to SS14 trends?

Polo: Next Skirt: Zara Boots: Internationale

Obviously I'm in my cosy polo neck and couldn't resist wearing my bargain zara skirt. 

I've always loved teaching myself how to do new hairstyles/ trends. I managed to teach myself this morning via several YouTube videos,  the 'Dutch head-braid'. I've seen it on a few celebs recently so thought I'd give it a go -  it's surprisingly easy yet if your already well practised at French braiding. At first I found it very fidderly as half way through to continue the plait to the back you need to swap your hands round which requires a considerable amount of coordination! I'm looking forward to perfecting this hairstyle, as it'll be ideal for mornings when I'm in a mega rush for uni (also allows me to skip styling my fringe!). 

ATTIRE - mishap

Endless sequins...

Harrison and myself ventured to Telford shopping centre this weekend as we'd both never been before but it seemed to have a good variety of shops. I'd been tempted to purchase this Topshop jumper during the festive period as a "little" (expensive) treat but couldn't quite allow myself to part with £50 at a time when the bank account was already being stretched! I then saw this very jumper in the Bullring on Boxing day for £25...but once again I thought it was too much for a limited wear item. I managed to whisk it up for £15 this weekend- can't complain at that price for all the embellishing! I'm planning on wearing it outside the festive period, it's only a bow! Bows ain't just for christmas! I'm going to pair it with my tartan a-line skirt and be a proper preppy student. Now onto my next bargain...the zara in the shopping centre had a vast amount of sale stock left which had all been re-reduced! I found this style of skirt but they only had larges left...then tucked up in the corner came along a small. This skirt had been reduced to £3.99!!! It's lovely thick material, and has a structured shape which I really adore at the moment. I'm looking forward to picking out the several colours in the skirt with different combinations of tops/ jumpers. I intend on wearing this skirt right up to and through the summer months!
