wardrobe rooting

On Saturday I decided to leave the city of Leeds and head back home for the weekend to see some family and friends. One thing I love doing when I'm back home, is raiding wardrobes. The first being my own - as I find all the things that I left behind. This can be firstly good, as I come back to Leeds with a array of new items that haven't been in my wardrobe for a few months. The second being bad, because I usually end up lugging a very full suitcase back on the train and having to unpack it in my other bursting wardrobe. This time it was so full I had to leave the huge slice of black forest gateau my Nan had made for me Sunday evening (I figured it would be better for my waistline if I left it for my Dad to eat!) Now back to wardrobes - the other's who I love to delvge into are my friends and my Mum.. These shorts are goregous, I just love the dark gold sequins on them. I am so jealous of Lauren owning these..hopfully she will go off them sometime soon so I can pinch them off her!!


shorts - Zara from Lauren
Jumper - From my Mum's wardrobe - not sure where from
Lipstick - Mum's make-up drawer
Necklace - H&M

Freshen your day with some MiNT!




Well I 'popped' into town today, just to get a 'few' bits, but we all know this never really happens. However whilst browsing a few shops, I got far too excited about the summer, and especially all the colours around, from bright oranges, pale yellows, electric blues, bright pinks...and mint. Seeing as it is still minus 048593 degrees outside I didn't think it fit to start purchasing too much summer attire, and instead I opted for a mint coloured jumper from H&M (pics coming soon) which I absolutly love and has definitley got me in the summer mood.. PLEASE HURRY UP!! Aside from the jumper, I also spotted these aqua turquoise shoes from new look (see above) they may look a bit simple, but with a simple midi grey dress the gorgeous colour will stand out. After this...I got bit over excited with the turqiouse/aqua/mint theme..and the above is what happened!

Bag - topshop, floral top - topshop, men t-shirt - H&M, earrings - miss selfridge, heels - new look, pair of earrings - new look, belt - zara (my favorite!) brogues - topshop, bra - new look, demin shorts - topshop

I think I need to start purchasing more of this bright coloured items for spring... don't you think?

Laid-back and Simply Stripey

Chunky Necks

I've got a small fetish at the moment for big chunky necklaces - ever since I bought one to go with my dress for my birthday - see the picture! You can't see it very well, but thats me and my Dad :)
 Anyway I've decided it's time to invest in a few more.. seeing as I love that one so much.... which one to pick for when I next go shopping?
