This summer has been slightly odd because it didn't really feel like summer. It wasn't massively hot here in Cambridge, and I spent a great deal of my six weeks off lying in bed, watching all 10 seasons of Friends. How have your summers been? Are you looking forward to going back to school?

cherry red

Cherry earrings- Primark

Red lip stain- Revlon Just Bitten

Cherry-print shirt- Vintage

I didn't actually go out in this outfit- I was just messing around with clothes when I got back from school. I was also experimenting with my new camera, which is a Nikon D3100, if anyone's interested. What do you think of the photos? I don't have a tripod, so I can't do a head-to-toe shot of my outfit, but I think I'll just try and put my camera on a chair or something. 

You can't see in the photos above, but I've dreadlocked 4 bits of my hair. I read about it a bit online, a thought it looked funky, so I just went ahead and did it! I might do a post about it if anyone would like to know more about them.

Right, I've got to go now- I just saw my tortoise nose-dive of the top of his climbing platform- I better go and check if he's okay...

Post soon,

my favourite designer copies/dupes

Most of you have probably seen a designer item of clothing, a bag, or an accessory that you want so much that it hurts. Well, I know I have. But 99.999999% of the time, I simply don't have enough dosh and then I just feel sad. But WAIT! There are plenty of believable copies out there for a fraction on the price, available in high street stores, or on le internet. Below I have picked some of my favourites that are nice and cheap. Oh, and I'll write the amount of money you save, too. So you can thank me when realise you can afford some extra nail varnish YAY

Pierre Hardy, £310

Topshop, £48

YOU SAVE= £262

Blackmilk, £50

eBay, £20

YOU SAVE: £30 (you can buy 10 nail varnishes wooo)

Acne, £360

Topshop, £45

YOU SAVE= £315 

fake Céline, eBay, £20

Genuine Céline, céline.com, around £650

YOU SAVE: £630

I hope this helps if you are on the lookout for some dupes for a fraction of the price of the genuine thing! I think its best to not buy fake items that have fake branding on, because it probably won't be convincing. You can get some great lookalikes on the highstreet if you look hard enough!

day off school woooo

This is what I am wearing today. It is go-to-work-with-your-parents today, but I couldn't go to work with my parents cos of 'health and safety' so I'm just chilling and eating junk food and watching old episodes of Skins. My skirt is from Ark. I am obsessed with velvet, so I had to get it. My t-shirt is from an Ellie Goulding gig I went to last year- it has a horse on it and I like it. My velvet turban/headband thing is from Topshop. I brought it and then my sister wrapped it up and gave it to me for Christmas. It's kinda a boring outfit, but it's comfortable and I like the colours. I'll try and post my outfit tomorrow, but I might be a bit busy cos I've got a piano exam and THEN i'm driving straight to an ED SHEERAN GIG. I'm not his biggest fan, but I haven't been to a gig in a while. And I'm going with some lovely people. 

If you live in the UK, ENJOY THE RAIN. If you live elsewhere, count yourself lucky you're not suffering the constant downpour. in July.
