12 ways you're already rockin' the 'Bring It On' look...

I . Love . Bring It On.

If, like me, you know the words to all the cheers....
...and THIS is the basis of all that is important in life...
then all you wanted to do growing up as a teen girl in the noughties, was to be part of The Toros.

However, after realising you can't do a backflip to save your life, and you don't really fancy being constantly tossed up in the air without throwing up, you realise that it probably wasn't your calling in life.

But despite all that, you're probably rockin' the looks and wardrobe of the Toros and Clovers girls without even realising.

1.) First of all, the crop tops
These girls love there crop tops just as much than you do. Oh, and theirs is completely on point for that whole preppy look. 

2.) 'Mom jeans and bomber jackets: killer combo
Before mom jeans were mom jeans, Isis already knew how flattering and oh-so-comfy they were.

3.) Say hello to slogan tees
No, this isn't a #TBT, this is just Missy leading the way with a cropped 90s tee. A must-have for any grunge girl.

4.) Oh! And all the hairstyles!
Yes, The Clovers loved a scrunchie as much as the next person, but HELLO - it's also metallic and gold. These girls knows how to work a pony.

5.) Top knots and high ponytails
Every other girl now has a high pineapple ponytail tied up, and cascading down from the top of their head. But Torance had this one sussed ages ago.

6.) 10/10 hair accessories
Bubble hair braids, headbands, hair slides AND bandanas?! Please excuse me while I take in all this amazing-ness.

7.) Seriously. The bandanas
Not just reserved for male Youtubers and pop-punk boybands.

8.) Total FKA Twigs vibes
Multi-coloured hair elastics at the ready - it's time to get twisting and piling your hair girls.

9.) And who could forget the pleated skirts!
No one can swosh a skirt like Isis - WORK ITTTT.

10.) 90s polonecks
Who knew layering a polo neck and a crop top would look so goddamn good?! 
Even the boys are nailing the look too.

11.) Gym goddesses
Ellie Goulding's instagram is filled with her looking pretty smokin' in workout gear, but I bet she doesn't pair hers with some chopsticks in her hair.

12.) Pink-on-pink
I'm mixing up all my 50 shades of pink now, especially if they have heart prints on them. Ariana Grande would totally be having a slumber party in this get-up. 

Even if you weren't already diggin' the preppy cheer look (in which case, why the hell not?!) then if anything, you won't run out of any style inspiration and outfits for the gym now. You'll won't have to worry about the horror of not having anything to wear again.

Were you as obsessed with 'Bring it On' as I was? (Or am I showing my age now...)

Stay happy!
Until next time,

School's Out!

Usually, I have to battle with myself to stop myself wearing too many colours at the same time, but for once in my life, chic and simple monochrome was calling out to me. But, trust me to turn something chic into looking so childish - I'm sure my niece wore something very similar to nursery the other day!
With a plain white tee underneath, I cinched this floaty LBD in with a clear and jeweled belt, and laced up these cut-out, brogues and was ready to take on the boys and girls with a game of hopscotch!
dress: ASOS, tshirt: ASOS, belt: River Island, shoes: Clarks
I love how these brogues are simple and clean, but are still fun and feminine with it's cut-out detail and dreamy creamy tone and wooden heel and sole - I have a feeling they're gonna be my feet's BFF's for the summer!

Topping it off with my signature bow, I set off to go play hopscotch with the world.
Are you all about the monochrome? Or is it the more colour, the better?

Hope you're all well,
Speak soon.

Cherry Pop

If you know me, you'll know that have a ridiculous collection of ribbons. Yes. I'm 21-years-old and own an assortment of multiple ribbons...

And tying them into my hair to perk it up a little bit is one my favourite things to do with them, and today was no exception.
With a stripy top on, which I always feel very Parisian and chic in, I undid all the chic-ness when I buckled up the straps on my little pinafore dress.
Mix and matching with textures, I found a shiny pair of dark cherry shoes to be friends with my dark cherry, velvet ribbon. 
With shiny, gold buckles on my shoes gleaming with every step, I buckled up my belt for some more added golden goodness.
Carrying on the golden glitz, I had these cute lil' hoops swinging happily on my ears.
As I get older, I find myself trying to find the balance of dressing more in a more mature and sensible manner, while still keeping my own sense of girly fun and whimsy.
top: Anthropologie, pinafore: Miss.Selfridge, belt: AWear
However, as I stepped out of my door, I felt like I was about to skip to school in my preppy uniform...oh well!


Hope you're all well,
Speak soon.
