On point
Over the last few weeks I have seen a significant rise in the pointed shoe, a style I have always been a fan of. The rounded toe has never really appealed to me. I'm not saying I've never worn them (because I have), but I have always favoured the point as I find it makes the shoe much more interesting.

Discovering new blogs
One thing I absolutely love about blogging is discovering new and inspiring blogs to follow and read. To discover new blogs, I head to Bloglovin, where you can easily find blogs of a particular genre. Here are three blogs that I have recently discovered and have already become firm favourites of mine.

2 fashion films to watch
Film has the ability to engage, entertain and educate an audience, allowing them to be completely submerged into a new world; a place where they can forget about their worries and be transported into an unknown place for a period of time.
I am a particular fan of documentary cinema, and have recently watched two influential and inspiring fashion films; Bill Cunningham New York (Richard Press, 2010) and Mademoiselle C (Fabien Constant, 2013).

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
On Saturday 20th September I left home and set off for a brand new life at Nottingham Trent University studying Fashion Communication and Promotion. After the 6 hour car journey (which should have only taken 3!) I finally arrived and met my flat mates that I'd be living with for the next 10 months.
With the majority of people on my course being new to the city, we were set the task of a treasure hunt around Nottingham, introducing us to a vast range of quirky bars and shops.

Oh wow, it's been a while...
Wow, er, remember me? I can't really believe it's been well over a month since my last post. This summer is going so quickly! After finishing my A Levels I thought I'd be blogging near on everyday, writing dozens of posts and being extremely organised with my photographs... however it clearly didn't work out like that.
So where on earth have I been since the end of June? On the 26th it was my school prom which was absolutely amazing, it was so much fun getting all dressed up and spending a night with all of my friends.
Prom marked the start of my pretty hectic period of time that followed. I was in London for a week doing work experience, which was brilliant, as well as working at my new part time job, seeing friends here and there all whilst preparing for my holiday in Turkey! It was a bit of a whirlwind time, but after at one point, a solid 10 days working, I couldn't wait to lay on a sun lounger with a cocktail by the pool... and don't worry, I did just that. I had the most incredible 10 days in Turkey, I met some amazing people and really didn't want to go home - I even cried when I got home! I now have the worst holiday blues ever, wahh.
I had originally planned to do a quick post before I left, (clearly didn't happen aha) but seeing as I was sorting out my music for the flight etc and packing on the day we were leaving, I ran out of time.
When I got home from my holiday, in all honesty, I had a real lack of motivation. After such a brilliant time away, especially after meeting some great people, home wasn't really the place I wanted to be. I was just a bit fed up, grumpy and really missing everyone I'd met in/and Turkey. Even the sunshine couldn't cheer me up - it just isn't the same without a pool is it?...
The following weeks then consisted of catching up with my friends and V Festival! It was my first festival, and it was absolutely incredible. I'm thinking of doing a post on it so I won't say too much now, but by far my highlight was The Killers... gah they were so amazing!!
So, here I am. I still haven't got my head around the fact that September is just around the corner, as the next month brings university, however I know what an exciting time is ahead, and I can't wait to see what the next few months/years brings holds.
On a side note, I had actually prepared a May Favourites post, it just never got posted... I think maybe the time has passed for me to post it now, as it does feel like May was years ago haha, so I have decided to combine May, June and July, showing a range of things I'd been loving over the past few months!
Sorry it's been a while, but I'm back!
