One way or another.

"Horror" tee: £9, Topshop. Leather skirt: £13.50, Topshop. Boots: Stylistpick. Denim jacket; £63, NW3 by Hobbs. Scarf: £8, ebay.

Is this... sunshine? It's a deceptive springtime. I left the flat in this getup, only to find that it is certainly not warm enough for just a denim jacket, and had my hands balled into little fists inside the pockets for warmth - I never learn. Still, after a lecture on Barbie, Georgia, Clarity and I headed somewhere warm for a roll and cupcake (malteaser!) and a moan about how much work we're all collectively avoiding.

Which, in a rather convoluted way, brings me onto this t-shirt. Tapping into my inner Goth (I never had a proper phase, so this is my mini rebellion), I indulged in this "horror" t shirt in Topshop's January sale, and I am making sure I don't wear it all the time, for fear of looking like some oddball trying to relive their teenage years. I do, however, like how I've styled it completely differently to Lily - and this is why t-shirts are the best things ever, and no one ought to argue against that.

What I'd wear to Fashion Week.

NEW YORK

 

LONDON

 

MILAN

 

PARIS

While it would appear that everyone else has been braving Somerset House's cobbles, I've been rather studious, and have stayed in my university town, in order to catch up on my ever-extending reading list. This, however, hasn't stopped me from noticing everyone's instagrams, tweets, and general excitement about what London has to offer. Feeling rather left out, I cheered myself up a little by having a look around the Max Studio website and put together a few outfits based upon what I reckon each city would require. It would appear that I'm having a bit of a monochrome moment, but can you ever really beat a heeled chelsea boot? And with the amount of designer maxi dresses on offer, maybe I should give that London look a go! Now, do I try on a turtleneck as well, or leave it (ostensibly where it belongs) in the nineties...

And it's creeping its way through my windows.

Wool shorts: £69, Carven, via Cricket. Blouse: Topshop (old). Adder boots: £36, Topshop. Masquerade necklace: £9, Elsie Belle. Watch: gift, Rotary.

New camera, same facial expressions.

After years of threatening to/saving, I finally walked into Curry's and picked up a (bargain, may I add) Canon, which is currently sitting at the end of my bed. When girls are single for a while, people often assume that they'll fill that void with several felines. I, however, went for the slightly more tech-y version with a fair few megapixels. I'm still getting to grips with it, so please bear with me while I discover all its fancy settings, but I've found the self-timer bit, which I guess is the most important thing when it comes to outfit posts.

Speaking of, this outfit may have been hidden under my faithful sailor coat all day, but I have to mention the shorts. When Harriet was visiting, I thought it only fair to show her Cricket as we wandered past the Cavern Club, and the both of us ended up coming out with a little something. These shorts are by one of my favourite designers Carven, and it certainly helped that they were reduced by nearly £200. Expect to see these a lot, as I am one for mixing my clothing, and I can imagine these being worn with anything from sequinned crop tops to tailored white blouses... But, away from the world of "fashion" (no real mention of LFW here, I'm afraid!) I'm off to see Everything Everything this evening, and am currently eating pâté. I really do live life on the edge...
