Dare to bare - retro 80s crop tops are back!

You either love them or you hate them, and i'll be honest - i was never a massive fan of crop tops. Maybe because i'm bitter about not being blessed with a perfect washboard stomach. But recently i've discovered they can look good on curvier girls too (in my honest opinion). I found a gorgeous vintage-look button up crop top in primark the other day, dirt cheap (see photo). I wear mine with high-waisted shorts, so I don't feel self-conscious about cracking out my not-so-flat stomach. They were chic in the 80s and they're back in fashion now. Definitely worth getting some for the summer. I recommend primark and new look!

my vintage-look button up crop top is from primark (dirtdirt cheap and loadsss of designs to choose from!!)

my new love; wedges

I've never been brilliant in heels and, especially after a few drinks, I'm like bambi on ice. But with wedges you don't have to worry about tottering around like a fool - they're suprisingly easy to walk in! Wear them anywhere: daytime shopping trips, bbqs, nightclubs, they're extremely versatile. Nude tones elongate legs so if you're a midget (like me) or just want to create the illusion of longer legs, these nude wedges from New Look are perfect, at just £19.99!!

Geeks wear Glasses

I've finally given in and admitted i'm blind and need glasses, after months of stubbornly sitting right at the back of the lecture theatre and spending the next fourty-five minutes squinting. I know it won't exactly help the geeky maths student stereotype...




















My specs sadly aren't this geeky. I tried to buy some similar ones but was advised by my mother that i ''may regret it''. She probably has a point. I'll upload a photo when mine arrive on Tuesday. eeeeee!

oop

Okay so i actually have no idea how to write a blog. I'm at uni studying maths but journalism is a definite back up career just incase the maths is a complete fail, so i thought i'd do something fun and journalism related. I love fashion so the blog might be slightly fashion orientated. But i don't want it to be one of those dull ones where people wah about themselves for pages. So i apologise if it turns into that...

it's a work in progress but i hope you enjoy.. x
