Looking up

This was my face this morning. But it soon perked up when I went home and was presented with my beautiful new sunglasses by the postman! My much much awaited (5 years) Vivienne Westwood lips aviator shades. I felt that I must share these with you. 

On other great news, I passed my driving test last Thursday. First time with only 5 minors, pretty good right? Few days later, went out and brought my car! Just need to insure it now and I can start driving!

Torn

Torn 

From the go between what I thought was right and what knew was true. A steel hole was punched, filled with unconditional love and infinite support. 

But the steel ached. 

I resented the steel and cradled the love, boundaries pushed. I wrapped roses so sweet and thorn covered wire around my steel, my worthless protection. 

But now. My wilt roses, soft and purposeless next to the empty steel, still aching without worth. 

Explore

Yesterday was a glorious day for an adventure! Beautiful sunshine, heat and freshly cut grass all aided the day along with my lovely boyfriend. We went for a lovely stroll across a golf course and took plenty of pictures through the day. 

It probably wasn't the best idea to wear an LBD but I think this little beauty is perfect for the summer, and I have a lovely tan too! Just cannot escape my obsession for black, even in 30 degrees!

SHOPPING

SO! After adjusting to my newly freed up lifestyle, I decided to treat myself to a shopping trip. After mentioning in a previous blog how much I feel I've grown this past year, I felt I should reflect this in my clothing! I wanted to buy some new items for my wardrobe that are simplistic statement pieces, ones I can put with various clothes for a different image. I went for a quick browse in my local shopping center and found so many things, unfortunately I had to wait for pay day!
Alas! Pay day! So as planned, I head straight up and emptied my bank account.
River Island and H&M were my first choice of shops as I had completely fallen for some items in there.

The above images were my try ons in H&M. I'm sure I've mentioned before about my dislike for 'flicky out' dresses, I just don't believe they suit me, but relentlessly I tried one on that was just £7.99! Still unsure so I can confirm this is not one of my purchases!

And there's a load of spam of various shots of my try ons and splurges. Saving after this now for a car/driving test/pass plus blahh blah. Such bores but it has to be done! The last image was a spontaneous purchase from New Look. I wasn't expecting to find anything as their recent stock seems to be very bohemian/floral/denims but I have an internal black/grey radar!

PET PEEVES

I spent the majority of today in the lovely city of Birmingham. Not shopping, not eating, but sitting judging womens' absurd choice of clothing. I hate the idea of prejudice, but it brings up the topic of my worst fashion pet peeves. 

no 1 - Leggings as trousers
I cannot distress how angry it makes me seeing see through leggings disguised as trousers. I do not want to see your bum and do not need to see your underwear!

no 2 - Tan and grey
The worlds tackiest colour next to pink: tan. I could rant forever about the pure illegal mix of grey and tan. 

no 3 - Dolly shoes in the winter
I don't understand the logic behind wearing flat open shoes in the snowing winter.

no 4 - Blue Jeans
Blue jeans to me are the tackiest, cheapest looking choice of bottoms, on par with tracksuits. It's black all the way

no5 - overpowered colours/prints
I don't care what fashion magazines say, colour/print clashing is awful. The use of over 4 colours in an outfit is just messy. Prints should only be mixed with block colours of the same colour in the print. Who thought that pink leopard print looks great with orange stripes?

That is my rant over for the day!
