I'm currently sat in decent sunshine (as in I live in Cardiff and I'm sat outside with no jacket on) wandering how long our 'Ibiza' weather is actually going to last. I'm one of those typical people who loves summer clothes but hates wearing them. When I saw that it was actually meant to be hot this week the first thing I did was message my friend in a panic over completely NOT being ready to bare anything but my wrists. Now though I am finally able to wear my Archive by Alexa dress with nothing over it. If you've seen the Elsie dress you'll understand that the sleeves kind of make it. So I can deal with that. It's every womans fear when we have to get our legs out, when its slightly unbearable to have skinny jeans or any denier of tights on...we have to groom, tan, shave amounts of our legs that we haven't had to shave for a good few months. But its happening. God its happening. So whilst sat with a coffee and listening to my new favour...

Halloween ran into Christmas, Christmas ran into New Year, New Year runs into...well a miserable January. When we just think all of these hyped celebrations have passed we walk through town one morning to see EVERY SINGLE SHOP adorned with hearts, flowers, gift ideas for him and her and see through underwear (sorry but it's true) So being a singleton in the run up to this day that I think is meant to show case how much you love your other half I get to use the excuse that I am going out with myself and therefore I should buy myself a gift and also receive a gift off myself. Two separate gifts that is. Hey if you have to sit through three weeks of it being rubbed in your face that you aren't going to be getting wooed you deserve a couple of presents to ease the pain. Que my true loves. Well my true loves of SS16. Dahlia is one of my all time favourite websites. Based in London it epitomises how I am from the inside out in collections of beautifully girly clothes...

New Year is upon us

Firstly I'M BACK! The blogging front has been a little quiet lately due to jobs and moving flats! Post uni life takes a little time to wrap your head around! Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had a lovely few days. BOOO to being back at work hey? Welcome back to the world of retail, angry shoppers central today! Don't get me wrong I love shopping more than anything but give it a break people! So I hope everybody got what they wanted for Christmas?! I was super lucky and got stocked up on Vivienne Westwood again, a beautiful ring and a surprise present of a new bag! <3 Me and Viv are well and truly loved up! So New Year is the next big thing now and I thought I would put together some of my favourite looks I have come across in the past few weeks that would be perfect for an ice cold night out! I have to admit I'm not really one for New Year but I am one for pretty clothes! Whistles French Connection   ASOS The W...

If you haven't already discovered this beautiful gem of a brand then here is a run down of possibly one of my favourite collections of beautiful clothing and accessories around. Dahlia is the epitome of quirky girliness, created by Tracy and her sister, the girls began by making designs and selling them in Portabello and Spitafields markets.  Unlike anything else around, you cannot be surprised that the clothing blew up when it was spotted and fallen in love with by fashion loving girls.  Now my personal style can only be described as geeky school girl (hence why I am constantly asked if I am a child or not....I'm nearly 24 ps.) So when I cam across pastel colours, box fits and lace trims I could have cried. To top it all of the brand is also responsible for creating possibly the most beautiful shoes I have seen. But enough of my waffling, let me show you some of the delights. This lace overlay top is more than a pretty shirt. The clever thing with Dahlia is that ...
