Growing out a buzzcut... One year update

I've now officially been growing my hair out for a whole year! I thought I'd take a few photo's to show how much it's grown and just to talk about it more. For the first few months I was cutting it monthly to keep the mullet at bay, but I cut it for the last time in August and ever since then I've just been trying to power through and strategically style it so the mullet isn't too obvious. For these photo's I decided to just leave it natural and unstyled so that you can properly see the length though.

There's been so many times that I've just wanted to cut it all off, but luckily I haven't gave in to the temptation! It definitely helps having pictures of long hair inspo to keep you motivated (I have Monami Frost and her beautiful long hair to thank).
There is a big possibility that I'll have a pixie cut again but for now I'm looking forward to growing my hair long and enjoying having my natural colour for the first time in a long time! For now hair pieces will have to be my new best friend!

Here's a bonus pic of Sabbath being cute as a thank you for reading this post!

Wardrobe staple... The denim shirt

I've been on the hunt for a denim shirt for quite some time now and I was finally coming around to the idea of spending £30 on a Topshop one when I stumbled across this beauty from Primark! For £10 it was a steal and I've already got plenty of wear out of it.
I wanted to get these photo's outside of the pretty colourful houses but the fear of someone opening their front door to me stumbling around in heels was too off putting.

I've been rather uninspired with my art lately so I'm going to try accompanying each post with an illustration in an attempt to restart my creativity.

I'm also working on redesigning the blog so hopefully I will be more inspired here too!

One last thing before I shuffle off the planet... OOTD

Today was the first day I've had off with my boyfriend in such a long time, so I thought I'd enlist him to get some photo's of me as we ventured around the cathedral gardens.

This is the first day that it's properly felt like winter, I think we've completely bypassed Autumn this year, although I did get to crunch my feet in the leaves which was fun!

It was so cold that I ended up going in to town and treating myself to a new coat, I'm obsessed with it so I'm sure it will be photographed on here soon!
I think it's time to start wearing scarves, gloves and to have a beanie permanently glued to my head.

Khaki crush wishlist

Belted mac - Miss Selfridge

Strapless bandage dress - Missguided

Grid patterned shirt - Forever 21

Statement choker - Asos

Lace up stiletto heels - Missguided

I'm loving all of the khaki clothing in the shops at the minute, it makes a change from my usual head to toe black!

Here are a few pieces that I'm digging in particular and since it's just been payday I thought it was a good time to put some of my favourite picks together. The Miss Selfridge coat is really versatile but I'm more tempted by the lace up stiletto's, man I love shoes...

Clean shirt, new shoes and I don't know where I am goin' to..OOTD

Shirt - Forever 21

Shoes - Nike huaraches

Watch - Asos

This was a super casual day that consisted of running about and doing errands.

I am in love with this new shirt I bought from Forever 21, khaki is everywhere at the minute and this silky top is the perfect "throw it on and go" piece.

It can be really dressed up with bare legs and over the knee boots but because I was doing a lot of walking I teamed it with tights and my trusty huaraches!

I'm going to see if this shirt comes in different colours because I know it's the perfect staple piece for my wardrobe.

70's Vibes OOTD

Last night was a fun one! I got all dressed up, met my best friend Emma and drank cocktails (well, we put straws in pitchers of cocktails so not very sophisticated!).

I've been obsessed with 70's fashion for about 5 years now so I love when it comes in to fashion and there's tons to choose from in the shops.

I really love this suede effect pencil skirt from Primark but the weather has been so grim lately I haven't been able to get much wear out of it. Luckily the rain eased off yesterday and I teamed it with my off the shoulder Motel crop that I've had for a while.

I accessorised with my trusty River Island choker and Forever 21 rings.

I would have loved to wear awesome heels but sadly my ankle is still dodgy after I sprained it a few months ago, so I had to go for my white chunky New Look sandals, but I think they still worked well with the outfit.

Our girl's night was a fun one so hopefully we'll do it more often!

Sorry about the quality of these photo's, it was a last minute job...

What's in my gym bag

 Hoody, Koss Headphones, Anasazi 5.10's, water bottle, Phone, Deodorant

I'm in love with my new faux leather gym bag from Forever 21!

These photo's honestly don't do it justice. The bag is huge, it's so sturdy and there is plenty of compartments inside for stashing valuables.

Usually I just take a backpack to the bouldering gym, but this means struggling to fit in all of my stuff. With this bag I can fit in several pairs of climbing shoes easily, as well as my huge chalk bag and other essentials.

I am really loving Forever 21's workout section in store and I couldn't resist treating myself to this.

I'll also be using this bag when I travel, there's more than enough room to fit several outfits and my massive makeup bag.

When payday comes around I will definitely be making another trip to Forever 21...
