fashiolista


What a great morning – I was reading though my favourite blogs’ updates and discovered this great website called Fashiolista. It’s very simple, you just create a profile and love clothes, shoes, accessories etc. you find on the website or anywhere online, and Fashiolista collects them all together for you and everyone else to see your style on your profile! Love it J
Now it’s time for me to catch up with last night’s Pretty Little Liars,

project: perfect wardrobe - part 1

As it’s already two weeks into the new year I had a look at the resolutions I made – one of them creating a better wardrobe with interesting pieces of clothing that are ‘me’, everyday basics and items that will last forever. I officially hate winter and the cold weather it brings so what would be a better way to start my little project than dreaming of a perfect collection of coats and jackets that will keep me warm during my least favourite time of the year...



1. A simple, black wool coat. I already have this one - Forever21
2. Green parka – Miss Selfridge
3. Boyfriend blazer – H&M
4. Fake fur coat - ASOS
5. Cropped leather/biker jacket - Topshop
6. A classic trench coat - ASOS
7. Denim jacket - Topshop
8. Something simply pretty: swing coat – River Island
9. A little crazy, colourful piece for those days when I need to cheer myself up J - Miss Selfridge

I honestly can’t wait to be reunited with the rest of my clothes in Manchester... it’s been waaayyy too long struggling with my barely-there-wardrobe, and I have to admit that I really really really miss the British high street!! America just doesn’t have that for me anyway L

a little piece of paradise

Had such a relaxed day today – love those lazy days, sleeping in and eating well and just relaxing J Went for a loooong 10-mile bike ride today, had a giant baked potato with chilli and sour cream for late lunch/early dinner at 4pm and now I’m just lying in bed. Obviously took my camera with me to take some lovely pictures of my journey to the beach and back so I’ve got something to look back to next winter when I’m back in rainy and gloomy England and missing the South Carolina sunshine!!












It’s back to work for me tomorrow... I’ve got a week of evening shifts ahead of me and I’m determined to hit the gym every day before work! And will stick to it – I need to get back in shape before it’s warm enough to work on my tan by the pool.
Love
