Wonderful Sunny England

I would like to take this opportunity to say a very belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year!! Better late then never, eh? Hope everyone receives good fortune and may 2014 be better than 2013!

I have returned from Asia! I had an amazing start to 2014, and an amazing time in Asia with my beautiful bf, and I even had the chance to go to Tokyo, Japan, as well as Hong Kong. Though now I'm already missing Asia... but hopefully now I can update more, especially with all the stuff I've bought... and get back to doing outfit posts. 

Well, anyway, here's a few photos from my trip! My outfits aren't exactly inspiring, so apologies for that, but I decided to choose comfort over style because I'm an old lady like that. Also, the weather in Tokyo was sooo cold (especially as we have been in HK for 2 months).

Looking back on my trip, I really regret not taking more photos. I did however buy a new camera in HK! Just a nice digital camera that I can carry around and not lug around my DSLR. I took it to Ocean park in HK, then my memory card decided to error and I have forever lost those photos.... oh sadness, so I had to make due with my trusty iphone.

We (I say we, but I mean my bf) won lots of stuffed toys at Ocean Park; unfortunately we had no space or weight to bring them all back D: It was lots of fun though! 

*note: you're going to be bombarded with photos now! I did try to narrow them down, but I want to show you all the things we did!

Hong Kong Haul

So as I am in Hong Kong, I have obviously done some shopping! Though I am having to control myself, as I do not have that much money, and no job D: But there's just so much I want to buy! Someone send me some monies, please. 

I know it does sound like I'm always making up excuses, but for nearly the last month, I have lent my laptop to my friend (she has some uni things to do, so being the lovely person I am, I let her use it), so I haven't had a chance to update as frequently as I would have liked. She needs it again, but I should be getting it back next week, so I can update weekly, fingers crossed.

I was originally going to have an outfit post, but it turns out my boyfriend cannot take photos to save his life! I don't mean to be horrible (I love him very much and stuff), but seriously! None of the photos came out useable... so he's going to need a little bit of practice.

Anyway, here's a few of the things I have bought... (I have more stuff!), a random photo of me posing by the window, and other miscellaneous things.

Hong Kong

Greetings from Hong Kong! Finally here now, I'll update with an outfit post soon... just trying to settle in and get used to people staring first. Don't think it helps that I have pink hair and a caucasian boyfriend! & I need to find a nice quiet location...


Been in Hong Kong for about a week now, and I'm knackered! Going out everyday is not for me! Haven't really had the opportunity to take lots of photos, as I've only brought my big DSLR and I don't want to carry it around. But soon, when I get more used to HK. Above photo is from my instagram, my room view :D Isn't it pretty?

Before I go, here are some boring photos so far... I really need to take more photos! and they are from my iphone...
Awesome donut with marshmallows on. Green tea latte... which I don't know how I feel about. Pizza flavoured Pringles!

October Wishlist


I've completely missed out my September wish list and jumped straight to October! Half way through putting this together I thought about doing a Halloween themed one... but alas it's a bit late now!

I'm really liking simple, plain coloured clothing at the moment, so my wishlist this month consists of black and grey hues with a hint of green.

I'm going to Hong Kong in November (ohmygosh!), so I restraining myself from spending any money; meaning I can't buy anything! I'm hoping to find some nice and cheap items in HK. Item 11 on the list, Topshop Backpack, is on sale at the moment, but still out of my budget. It's gorgeous, though, so if anyone wants to buy me a going away present...

Fall into Autumn

Hello all! My apologies once again for the lack of posts! It wasn't intentional, I promise. I really admire people who constantly update! Give me some tips! Such a bad blogger... even missed out LFW.

Also, I would like to thank Charmaine from Charmaines Closet for featuring me on her blog :D and hello to my new followers!

As the weather is starting to cool, I've brought out some of my knitwear! I woke up early today and it seemed like the perfect weather for a heavy knit jumper, but boy was I wrong! By the time we went out to shoot (around the afternoon time), it got really hot and I kinda regretted wearing a jumper.

I really like these jeans from Topshop, they're from last year but its made from 2 types of material, denim on the front and a jersey type thing on the back; they are super comfortable. 

I am aware the first two photos are the same... but I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so here's both of them.

Summer's Nearly Over

Ah, I've been so bad, I'm still new to this blogging business so please forgive my lack of posts! Just being trying to sort my life out... looking for jobs, etc. I've been so poor D: But I've finally found a job. I promise to try and post more!

Considering summer is nearly over, I should take full advantage of the sun.... before the dark days dawn upon us.

In one of my previous posts, I spoke about sunflower sunglasses, and here they are! Aren't they cute. I have quite a mixture of florals in this look, from the sunflowers on my dungarees to my floral bag. I like flowers. If you look close enough, that is a mini totoro plushie attached to my bag, hehe, & my necklace is tiny binoculars!

Roar

Hello! The British summer has been so crazy; in one day you can experience extreme hotness to grey skies, pouring with rain, but I found one day that was sunny! I've always wanted to have a photoshoot in one of these fields, and today it finally happened! Here is my second look, hope you guys enjoy. My hair colour is fading so quickly D: one of the disadvantages to semi permanent hair dye.

I’ve become really fond of purple makeup recently. If you look close enough I have dark purple eyebrows >.< Also mixed two different shades of purple lipstick to create the one I’m wearing.








I’m still so awkward in front of the camera, can you tell? Haha definitely not model material. I didn't realise I haven't got a shot of my shoes till it was too late, oh well, you'll just have to use your imagination.

This top is actually my little sisters, but she was gonna throw it away! Why waste a decent top? So I got my scissors and hacked off the sleeves and paired it with a black strapless top underneath.

August Wishlist

Now, I don't know much about fashion, and I don't claim to, but I thought it would be nice to share with y'all what I have been wanting (today)! Going with the black & white trend which is very popular at the moment! Being a girl, this is not all that I want; just narrowed down my choices to kinda fit a trend (and only from 2 sites that I browsed through today). 

To be honest, 1-3 are items that I would buy but never wear, sadly I don't have the figure (or confidence) to wear something so 'fitted'. Also, I can be quite messy so white is definitely not the colour I should wear...

I've always been a fan of the whole floral trend, as much as some people hate it and say its cliche, so I've completely fallen for the daisy trend! I've even made some daisy sunglasses, which I will be showing soon! When I say made, I mean bought the sunglasses and daisies, then stuck them together!  


I created this 'amazing' collage on photoshop, I tried to make it look pretty, but I'm not sure if I failed? Also, I didn't put the looks into any sort of order... just made it look visually appealing.

#OOTD

My first outfit post! Woohoo (exciting, right?)! Re-dyed my hair into multicolours, and I'm very happy with the outcome, too bad it fades so quickly. The British weather is so temperamental, one minute it's hot, next minute it's rainy and cold.
