SUNSHINE.

The weather is amazing in Leeds today, and the sunlight is streaming through every crack. I'm gonna make the most of it by donning my Jil Sanders-esque bright maxi skirt and drinking margaritas in the sun. HELL YEAH!

ONE DAY LIKE THIS.

Hey there readers! In between Glastonbury recovery, moving house, going back to work and doing some celebrating, I've managed to find some time to compile a haphazard blogpost for you all. Glastonbury was amazing - there was mud, scorching sun, Shangri La, amazing pies, booty shaking to Beyonce and plenty of Somerset cider. I also found out that I got a 2.1 in my degree while watching Elbow smash it on the Pyramid stage - incredible. Now I'm home, all moved into my summer rent and ready for some sunny merriment. Thankfully the weather has had the same idea.

FIELD OF DREAMS.

This week has been hectic. 52 hours at work, packing in preparation moving out and an epic house clean. The only thing that's kept me going is the ever growing excitement for Glastonbury. Come Wednesday, me and an assortment of my favourite people in the world will be heading to Worthy Farm for 5 days of amazing music and sheer hedonism. Let's just hope the weather behaves like it did last year!

OLD OLD FASHIONED.

"I'll try to be more romantic, I want to believe in everything you believe"







BOUDOIR.

In a couple of weeks I'll be leaving my beloved student house and hunting for a much classier and cleaner flat in the city centre. It's got me daydreaming about bedroom decorating and cushion buying. When it comes to bedrooms, I'm all for bright and airy and delightfully cosy. Think of this post as my visual mood board for creating the perfect boudoir.

SUNDAY READING.

Since finishing my degree, I've had much more time for the more pleasurable things in life, like napping and watching Nip Tuck boxsets. It's also seen the return of my most favourite time of the week - lazy Sundays. Today's has included snoozing away my hangover, popping in to town for an epic roast dinner, and catching up with all the lovely blogs that I missed in the fashion hiatus that was exam period. I thought it would be nice to compile a little blogpost featuring all my daily faves, so here goes!


The lovely Alice of Fashion&Circus has been my fellow intern at Paper Scissor Stone this year, and we've had a ball organising fashion shows and photo shoots and galavanting to London for fashion week and buying trips. She's now crossed the pond and is interning with Nylon magazine in New York (!!!) before heading to Sydney come September to intern with Russh magazine (again - !!!) and so as well as heading to her blog to see what she's up to, she's officially become my number 1 go-to for fashion inspiration from the other side of the world. Check Fashion&Circus out for a healthy dose of amazing images, amusing tales and an intense jealousy surge.




Big City Little Shoes is another blog that I like to think of as a fountain of inspiration. With images to make your heart flutter, amusing musings and plenty of substance, it's always lovely to have a nosey around Catherine's lovely blog. Insights into her work prove she's an extremely talented lady, and I'm also led to believe she creates her own jewellery. Proof that some ladies really do have it all!




Color Me Nana is the fashion diary of the wonderfully self-styled Dylana. Documenting her impeccable outfits and the work she does as a stylist for Free People, her blog is always my number one spot for inspiration when my own style ideas run a little dry. Check out her blog and be ready to see your wardrobe in a whole new way.
