The new collection

Hello there my lovelies :)

Hope you've all had a good couple of days.

I've been so spoilt I just had to share my new accessories collection with you. You might have gathered by now that I really love my quirky necklackes or anything remotely cute so I was over the moon when my lovely friends got me these beauties.

I don't exactly know where they are all from so you will have to excuse this post for lacking a few details.

Topshop - named 'Robota' (like Roberta - geddit?!)

Ok, so the sunglasses were a little birthday treat to me, from me. But I do rather enjoy them.

I enjoy all of them really. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends who obviously know me so very well. All of these are now hanging on my mirror with pride.

My housemates also got me those gorgeous Miss Selfridge shorts from my first ever post which has made me a very happy bunny. I practically stripped in front of them in excitement when trying them on! Unfortunately, the pair they managed to get me didn't fit but I found some in a slightly different colour that are a perfect size. I plan to wear them out tomorrow night with my new Primark tattoo-look tights.



I'll be sure to post on Saturday to show you how they look!

Thanks for reading, it means a lot to have a fair few of you following me already.

Midi makes me mini.

Sometimes I just do not feel that fashion is working in my favour. I'm talking about the uprise of the midi skirt - it was all over the catwalk and now they are filling up the high street shelves. This is all very well for the long and leggy but not so much for the small and hour-glass of us. The midi literally makes me look mini.

I'm fairly sure they are not for me really. Having spent my childhood apparently twisting each ankle alternately (I was a very clumsy child) I now have oddly podgey ankles and try to avoid drawing attention to them. At least with slightly shorter skirts my equally short and bulky legs are there to share the spotlight! OR even better the maxi skirt that just floats over all of it.

Also, my parents did not exaclty bless me with height. Most midi's end up down to my ankles anyway - which just defeats the point entirely!

Ok so maybe this means I am slightly bias, but I feel this is definitely more of a fashion for those with model figures out there! I'm probably a bit jealous to be very honest...there are some gorgeous designs out there.

I love this one!! Would be so cool on those boiling days (if England actually gets any this year that is...)

And this leather skirt would look so good with a loose fit top - if only my legs were a normal size...

I think I might just be able to get away with this one though! Can't quite make my mind up about it though - what do you guys think?

Anyway, if anyone could suggest a midi that won't absolutely dwarf me I would appreciate it a lot. It is something that my summer wardrobe is definitely missing.

Thanks for reading lovelies,
