Hey!  I'm off out tonight to a garden party hosted by the fabulous Morgan-Jones family.  It's a lovely sunny day in good old Wales so I decided to give my Zara skort it's first trip out.

I'm wearing it with my new favourite top, a cami vest from Topshop with a simple GAP cardigan and River Island sandals.  I've even straightened my hair which does not happen often! 

And my gorgeous little sister in her Boohoo dress!  It feels so weird that she is buying clothes from the same shops as me and could potentially share clothes with my friends!  

I hope everyone enjoys their last weekend before school!

Hello lovely people, how are we all on this rather miserable Sunday?  I've had a quiet day really just doing little bits of preparation for London as I begin my course in London College of Fashion on Tuesday which is all very exciting!  I also finally after beginning in the middle of May have finished all six seasons of Gossip Girl.  I cried like a small baby whilst watching the last episode, I actually thought I was broken, (I am trying not to give much away) but when Serena walked down the stairs looking all fierce and radiant and everyone was standing and looking at her I just couldn't handle it.  

For the most part of this week I have been helping out at a Performance House Summer School putting on 'A Very Potter Musical' which is a satire of the Harry Potter series written by Darren Criss from Glee back when he was studying at the University of Wisconsin.  

The musical has everything you need to make a brilliant show from painfully catchy songs, familiar characters and a good few chorus pieces, killer harmonies, AND an 11 minute opening number.  The amount of talent we had made casting extremely difficult but we definitely ended up with a hilarious, brilliant cast.  

Good luck to the rest of the Summer Schools which I unfortunately cannot attend! I'm off to discover the next doctor now, I'm hoping Olivia Coleman but I was in the same drama group Aneurin Barnard went to so it would be amazing if he got it!

Well hello people of the web! I do apologise for my lack of presence this week, I've been tutoring on Harry Potter Summer School, but more about that tomorrow. 

Today, however I went to Cardiff with my pal Molly and spent out on make up and pretty clothes and spent the evening being a culture vulture watching a production of Hamlet with some friends of mine in with Sophie (who gets photo creds)

My top and skirt are both from Topshop, I would've definitely preferred to have worn flip flops but my toes are painted abysmally -shakes fist angrily-

I loved the play, I went in with little expectations as I have not always been the biggest Shakespeare fan, (I once watched a wonderful performance of The Merry Wives of Windsor on the side of a cliff in Cornwall which was great).  I enjoy the classics such as Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest and A Midsummer Nights Dream, I actually once played Francis Flute/Thisbe.  I loved the character of Ophelia and her madness, brilliant.  I also just love the name Ophelia.  Have any of you lovely readers seen a Shakespeare recently?  

Firstly, I am alive.  Duke of Edinburgh was disgusting and warm and camping was not fun and not comfortable, APART FROM THAT it was all a-ok and I am feeling fresh.  Meanwhile, it is the last day of school.  YAY.  To celebrate that and Rachael's birthday she's having a party with a pool, how exciting, it is still absolutely boiling so we're definitely going to appreciate the cool water.   

I've gone for a white cropped t-shirt and orange maxi skirt (which is really old and bordering on too small but I won't tell if you don't) from New Look. With some really simple flip flops from billabong.

I have gone for blue accessories with feathered earrings and blue nails!

Hope those of you who also finished school today have a fabulous night/summer and to those of you who finished months ago - enjoy your last six weeks!

Remember that time I could sustain sleeping early and waking up early? Nor do I.  In case you haven't gathered I've been struggling with the whole waking up at 6am thing so I forgot to post!  No need to fret, friends, I am here.  

Instead of one decent picture I present you three shoddy (and two embarrassing bathroom mirror) shots.  Easy outfit - New Look high waisted trousers in navy and a cream lace effect back jumper.  I absolutely adore the red shoes I found in Primark! I actually forgot to take a picture today *facepalm* but I wore my skirt from Tuesday and top from Monday!

My first day despite both initial apprehension and nearly getting lost trying to find Cardiff Gate Business park went swimmingly! Everyone at Freshwater was welcoming, chatty and helpful.  I spent most of the morning finding retailers to put on a client list and reading through trend sheets/briefs for new projects.  On-wards to day two!

Unline yesterday where near enough my whole outfit was Urban Outifitters, I have opted for a Select look.

Of course, to match my aztec skirt...aztec nails.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF WORK EXPERIENCE. It's 7am and I've just left my house Cardiff bound, I can't remember the last time I woke up this early. I think I am broken. That however has not stopped my outfit planning, today I am wearing......... 

You may recognise my top and skirt from my latest vlog - they're from Urban Outfitters and I am in LOVE with them. They feel good and are so comfortable, the skirt is also quite lightweight which is rather handy in this weather.  The nail varnish is a Barry M Gelly colours one my cousin had me - it takes two coats and comes out brilliantly!

p.s. can you tell I feel like watching Anchorman?

I'm writing today's OOTD whilst walking to pick my sister up from school - it's true, women can multitask. I'm also inadvertently tanning one side of my body..which isn't great. Anyway, who else is loving this weather? It's amazing, I'm so glad I've had this week off school and I'm definitely feeling sorry for those who've had exams. 

I'm sporting a leotard top from Boohoo and shorts from Topshop. I always forget quite how old these shorts are, I had them for my 14th birthday, I'm 17 in two weeks. 

I like the leotard because of the low back, I usually Iayer it but I thought I'd celebrate summer and leave it unlayered! What's everyone else wearing on this beautiful day?

This week has been mad! Five exams in three days with two days of packing/revision/Gossip Girl has been tough but I've made it out the other side fine if not a little ill.

I won't bore you with the details of my exams but I am going to talk about The Great Gatsby as I watched it on Friday. I loved it. I was sceptical after some of the reviews I'd heard but on the whole, very impressed. Now, don't read on if you haven't read the book or seen the film! So it started off with Nick in a psychologists office, the opening was nice but I didn't really get why that had been added, it was a nice feature and all but I think going back to it so much was not necessary. Next, the soundtrack was just amazing. I already knew what it was prior to going in but i thought the placement of the songs was really great, most notably "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey as it really summarised Daisy's attitude and thoughts. Some of the filmography was absolutely outstanding, for example when Mrytle (who I think Isla Fisher played brilliantly) gets knocked over but then there were some really awful moments, especially a particular part where Gatsby is talking to Nick in front of a screen. Diabolical. All in all, excellent film. Worth a watch for sure. 

On to a fun filled week of more packing now, and possibly some pampering! 

And the selfie - today I took my little cousin to her dance performance at Maesteg's Party in the Park. She was absolutely excellent as always, a little star! 

Today I technically finished year 12! I only have to go to school between now and June 10th for exams and on June 10th we begin year 13 work.  Scary.  Tonight we're all off to Dayna's for a girly night and a Chinese takeaway, well needed before these exams I think!

Hollister t-shirt with lace panelling, layered over a blue Gilly Hicks bra top.

Trusted MAC lippy!

Its bank holiday Monday, the sun is shining, I've spent the day revising and now I'm going for a barbeque with my lovely friends.  It''s been and is continuing to be a good day.   

my Primark sandals from my vlog!

I made this skirt from a dress I no longer wear, its chiffon and super summery, I love it already!  Teamed with a stud collar denim shirt.   Also I kept accessories to a minimum wearing only stud earrings and a really cute birdcage necklace!

How was your bank holiday?

I'm going out with my parents tonight for a meal (we're not sure where) and here is what I'm wearing! My lace peplum top, my favourite miss selfridge skinny jeans and a blazer teamed with drop earrings and blue courts, as seen in my vlog. Have a nice night darlings!

First week back in school = eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeugh. 

I'm kidding, I've actually had a really great week to be honest.  Monday morning my sister woke me up with a coffee and said 'coffee and a cuddle happy Monday!' which was possibly the best/cutest way to be woken up EVER never mind on a Monday.  Monday is also the one full five lesson day on my timetable, so I wasn't completely up for it.  I went in however as usual, had a form registration class, went to double textiles (I AM NOW COMPLETELY DONE CLICK HERE TO SEE MY CORSET) and made a half hearted attempt at putting the button holes in my shirts, I ended up unpicking it and returning on Tuesday.  Then went to media studies and then double RS which turned out to be a mock exam on Judaism.  Wasn't that fun.  BUT during lunchtime I attended a meeting for all those who applied for the role of Head Boy/Girl and got told that from the nine girls who applied I was one of the six who'd be chosen to do a speech on Friday to my year group about why I should be Head Girl.  Much excitement.  Then we were back in dance which was fab and as funny as it always is - especially now that Sophie has joined, despite her adamant complaints that she couldn't dance and didn't have rhythm she fitted in well.  

The middle of the week was a bit of an excited blur as I was so excited to do my speech on Friday - my old textiles teacher returned from maternity leave so I was super excited to see her, both her and baby Bella are doing well! The downside of school at the moment is that basically all we're doing is past paper questions and essays and revision so we aren't really doing much learning, just putting what we have learnt into practise.

Friday came and I woke up nervous, went to school nervous, went to form nervous, went to the hall nervous, walked on stage nervous, and then said my speech.  I've been told the start of my speech was a little...not angry..but....let's go with fierce...PASSIONATE! Ooops, maybe I was a little scary, but after a few people told me they'd voted for me I guessed my scare tactics had worked.   Hopefully we'll find out tomorrow who's gotten through to interviews with senior staff which is all very exciting!

Yesterday we continued on with casting Beauty and the Beast which is going really well, and it's very difficult to call who's getting what! Then I went to Rhodri's 18th Birthday (where I got to wear my outfit from my vlog HERE) with Morgan, Molly and a few others from The Performance House and beyond which was a really lovely evening - thanks Rhod! 

Today I've been to Wedding Fayre (no, there isn't something I'm not telling you I promise, it was for research purposes I swear!) Where I got asked 'When's the big day?' 'Do you have cars yet?' and my personal favourite was when I explained I'm doing research for school - 'Where do you teach?' face to the palm.
