Week by Numbers: underground secrets & fun by letters

Hope you'e all been enjoying the long weekend and having lots of Easter fun, you lil' bunnies!
Netflix marathons and copious amounts of travelling have meant that this week by numbers is more or a fortnight by numbers, but hey, I won't tell if you don't.

7 favourites...

 

1.) First of all, how on EARTH is it April already?! I've always loved April - not only because it's the month of my birthday (HOLLERRR) - but because to me, it's the beginning of Spring, flowers blossoming, the sun making more of an appearance. But before I jump into April, here's what my March looked like.

2.) Anyone who knows me knows that one of my favourite movies is Clueless. And it's not just cus of the killer outfits that I wish I had and could disect for hours. It's based on Jane Austen's 'Emma', it's nostalgic, and is so damn quote-able! So when my bestie told me that it was being played at an underground cinema where seats are massive bean-bag-beds and blankets, I was there in a flash. 

There was pillows, and afterwards, board games and ice-cream cocktails were had. A perfect playdate, defo.

3.) I bought an alphabet necklace and it's the best £3 I've ever spent. I can express my philosopical musings and emotions solely via my neck from now on.

I need never express my feelings verbally again!

4.) I'm a sucker for different cases for my phone. And I unfortunately go for novelty and design over practicality and protection, every time. And this newest member of the family, may be the most ridiculous of them all - and I bloody love it.

5.) My nephew and niece came to visit, so I was faced with a very tough conundrum when one of them wanted me to play MarioKart with them, and the other wanted me to make Disney Princess bracelets with them. It was a dilemma I tells ya. Of course, I zoomed round course throwing red shells, whilst wearing a Cinderella beaded beauty around my wrist.

6.) I cannot stop wearing/buying/being drawn to suede and denim at the moment. I have enough denim jackets and dungarees at my disposal to dress a 90s pop band, but I keep trying on more. And this lime-yellow suede skirt is my new BFF - soz rest of my wardrobe - but may also take the making taking care of. Rain, spillages and accidents, STEP AWAY FROM THE SUEDE.

7.) I went a bit overboard with the festively-themed nails. Which is something that happens more than it should. Speckled mini-egg anyone?

dress:Topshop, shoes:ASOS, necklace:Topshop

I went out (OUT-out) in the town that I grew up. It was a last-min affair, so I peeled my sweats off me and grabbed a LBD. Since pastels and swishing around are my fave things, a bodycon little black dress is something that you'll rarely see me in, but hey, variety's the spice of life right? I felt ridiculously old amongst teenagers, and at the same time, like I had taken a time machine back to when I was 17 and underage drinking. But it was a jolly way to spend a Good Friday nontheless. That's what Easter's for, right? 

Stay Happy!

Until next time,

Completely Clueless

When I was about 15, I had a Paul's Boutique bag (yes, one of those) and I absolutely loved that pink purse in all it's plastic goodness. And whenever I used to carry it, hanging off the nook in my arm, my brother used to exclaim, "Oh look! Here comes clueless!"

Being a wannabe punk and a immersed in the world if all things emo before, I found this such a slap in the face, but the more I've watched Clueless during the years as I've grown up, the more I love the outfits in it and feel nostalgic about the fashion.

Everything from the neat headbands and knee-high socks, to a shirt in every colour to match every outfit.

I've been loving all the dreamy and soft texture of feathers and fluff that been making an appearnce in the shops and in my wardrobe recently, and Cher is definitely the poster girl for this.

My favourite outfit throughout the whole film though, is this sheer little number, which when I saw it, I paused immediately and rumamged around my room to see how I could recreate my own version at home. I lvoe everything from the longline, pleated, sheer shirt, worn over a argyle skirt, and topped off with a fluffy, sleeveless jumper.

The wardeobe of the Clueless class has not been ignored though, as relaed, luxury brand Wildfox tapped into the film and created it's own little Clueless clan for it's latest campaign.

Although previously being offended by my brother's on-going joke and comparison with the girls in the film, watching back now, I realise now that that girl Cher speaks a lot of truth!

At this moment in 2014, I'm revising furiously for exams and reading endlessly for essays to hand-in. I'm losing my mind slightly as I've always been one who enjoys the company of others and social contact, but while everyone (including myself!) is stressed with work, it's hard to lie-back and just have fun and natter.

How is your 2014 going? Are you going to be reminiscing and dressing from the 90s anytime soon?

Hope you're all well,

Perky & Pink

I must have been a very good girl this year, as Santa had a this pretty, pink piece all wrapped up and waiting for my underneath the Christmas tree.

coat: River Island, dress: Marks & Spencers, shoes: River Island

This coat, as my brother so lovingly put it, looks like it's straight out of the film Clueless, as much as I act like I'm from it...

I love how smart it is, with it's black faux fur collar, yet is still colourful and fun with it's vibrant and pastel pink shade. The perfect combination!

Kicking off the new year in a smart and sophisticated manner, I wore this Wintery, little white number under it, complete with lace and a black ribbon belt. 

With my hair braided and clipped back, I was ready to meet up with 2014!

I can't wait to keep throwing on this bright little number while the weather's still pretty chilly. I've got to say, I'm quite looking forward Winter to pass over and Spring to come along soon...I miss the warm sunshine!

Hope you're all well,
Speak soon,
