I'm going to see Mockingjay on friday and I'm so excited its like my equivalent of christmas! Recently I bought these Ripped Jamie Jeans from Topshop. I think they're really good because they're thicker than the Joni Jeans but still quite stretchy and are high waisted as well. At the moment I seem to have obtained an abuncance of poloneck/turtleneck jumpers and now they are all I wear.

Hi, sorry for the extreme lack of posts this month, I've been fairely busy. 

Recently I bought this gorgeousss camel coat, which I absolutely love. I wish it would get colder so I can wear it more often without looking weird. Even more recently, I went to COW and found this green tartan skirt. Originally I had my heart set on Ameircan Apparel's green plaid skirt, but their prices are ridiculous, so I was extremely happy when I found this for like 1/4 of the price. The skirt has been altered a bit so it looks less like a kilt and more like a skirt, but now it fits perfectly and I love it. I don't know why I havent included my cat t-shirt in an ootd before because I literally wear it every single day.

SUNGLASSES FROM A MARKET IN MAJORCA

I'm quite looking forward to autumn and jumpers and coats and the jake bugg concert. I've just returned from my holiday in Majorca and France and it hasn't stopped raining since I stepped off the plane. Ah home sweet home. These outfit photos were taken in Majorca in our apartment garden where it was nice and hot and warm enough to wear a dress. I've had this simple black dress for ages and I still love it, despite its very basic style. This is basically the most simple look ever, no accessories or a jacket or anything, just the dress. To my despair, my favourite chunky black sandals broke whilst on holiday so I opted for my holographic sandals instead. I think I'm going to be doing another holiday related post so expect that soon.

 I recently brought these denim dungarees, which I rather like. They're kind of over-sized and bordering on tomboyish, but I prefer this type to properly fitted shorts and think it gives more of a 80's-90's feel to the outfit. I recently made my first ever ASOS purchase, which included these gold holographic shoes. I think they make most of my boring outfits a lot more interesting and I don't think I have ever owned such a brightly coloured shoe. Also, they are extremely comfortable, which is a bonus.

WARNER BROS STUDIO TOUR

Last weekend, for my best friends birthday, we went to Warner Bros Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter. Let me begin by saying, it was incredible. We both absolutely love Harry Potter and had an amazing day. We got a bit lost on the way however and ended up in a BT offices car park which was rather fun.

When we first got there we went into a cinema room and watched a very emotional and intriguing video about all of the Harry Potter films and the cast and filming and the set and things. After the video had ended, the screen lifted up revealing the doors to the great hall and it was extremely exciting and magical. Inside, the realisation of the fact that this is the actual great hall of the actual Hogwarts and all of the cast have stood on this floor and this is in all of the films oh my god, sunk in. It was so cool and I want to live there.

Then you go into the main room inside which is huge and contains everything from the films. There were all of the costumes that had actually touched Harry Potter's skin, the wig that had sat on Bellatrix's head etc. There were loads of the sets that they filmed on like the Burrow, the potions classroom, the gryffindor dorm room and common room, Dumbledore's office, Dolores' office, etc. The thing that amazed me the most was the extreme attention to detail in every aspect of the sets and costumes and props. It must have taken so long and so much skill to do it all??? I never thought I'd actually see all of the real horcruxes and the elder wand and everything in real life. I've missed out loads because there is so much to take about but overall it was sooo exciting and fascinating and I loved it.

Next we went outside, and saw No.4 Privet Drive, Godric's Hollow, the Knight Bus, the Hogwarts Bridge, and had butterbeer! I touched the door handle of Harry Potter's house and now my life is complete.  After this you go back inside to a creature effects room which was incredible and really cool. And finally..is the Model Room. This was probably the most incredible and breathtaking part of the whole tour. The Hogwarts model is so big and painstakingly detailed that it leaves you in complete awe and wonder.

From the gift shop at the end (which was horrendously expensive) I got a Chocolate Frog, a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, a post card and some temporary death eater tattoos. It was such an incredible day and I loved every second of it. Have you been to Harry Potter Studio Tour before? What did you think?

Hi, sorry for not posting in ages, my crazy social life really just got out of hand.

Last Sunday (when these photos were taken) I went to Warner Bros Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter. It was absolutely incredible, and I'm going to do a post on it later. The day before going, me and my friend went into town and I got this dress in topshop. I think this is the first time I have worn a colour ever on this blog, can somebody give me a medal please? I really like the low waist line and the powdery purple colour is super cool.

These pictures are a bit all over the place, but as you can probably tell, I went to London this weekend. On the first day there I went to Camden Market and had lunch and purchased some stuff for myself and my friends birthday. It was horrendously busy, and full of tourists and obey hats, but I really enjoyed my time there. Me and my mom had lunch by the water and a funny chinese man gave us some free chips. Camden is a great place to photograph because of the vibrancy and colour, loads of signage, typography and little trinkets. But its also awkward as most stall holders don't want you taking pictures of their stuff, and I shouted at a few times.  

Day 2 consisted of Spitalfields Market. In my opinion, there were better stalls and things to buy here, but I preferred the atmosphere of Camden. I discovered this shop that was similar to Cow Vintage, called Rokit, and I got a green Killers t-shirt for £3 which I was pretty happy with. I also bought some knitted badges of a stall in the market that I'm going to decorate my school bag with. 

Overall, I really liked London. I also went to Oxford Street for the first time and it was amazing and we went on the Emirates Skyline thingy too. All the people/waiters in restaurants/shop assistants that I spoke to were really really friendly and nice, compared to people I encounter in Birmingham where I live. I thought it was really interesting seeing all the different nationalities and fashions and people all together, and when some men were playing guitar and violin on the tube it was just cool.

Hi, today I went to see the highly anticipated 22 Jump Street, I've been waiting agesss for it to come out in the cinema. It was absolutely hilarious, probably better than the first film and despite his age I still want to marry Channing Tatum. I went with Shan, and to be honest we both felt slightly overdressed to go and sit in a dark room and watch the film, but nevertheless I like my outfit today. 

My t-shirt is from eBay and is sporting my favourite band, Arctic Monkeys. My shoes are also from ebay and are inspired by my 'Shoe Crush: Truckers' post. For ages I've wanted an American Apparel Tennis Skirt, but they're a bit out of my price range at the moment, so when my Grandma found this in her wardrobe and gave it to me, I could not believe my eyeballs. I think it looks exactly the same and I got it for £0 so I'm very happy.

A pretty casual outfit today, but this is basically a combination of all my favourite/staple pieces thrown together. I literally live in these boots (as you can probably tell from the dirt), but now that summers getting closer I'm on the hunt for an alternative. I hadn't worn my disco pants in a while either so it made a nice change to have them on, plus I think they go pretty well with my new denim jacket. 

The bag is my first attempt at any sort of clothing DIY, and it's a bit too small for my liking, but I love the graphics on it (Alexa Chung, Arctic Monkeys etc) &think it looks quite unique.

I'm still not really sure if this skirt&t-shirt go together very well, but I love them. 

Yesterday me and my friend went back to Cow Vintage in Digbeth, and I bought these two items. I think the skirt was originally a men's shirt or something, but it's been reworked into this gorgeous skirt. The weather was so lovely, so I went for a more floaty look than usual, with my t-bar shoes and fedora.

The thought of it being spring and not being able to wear black everyday scares me. 

I recently purchased these black dungarees from H&M, which I am in love with. Because I have so many white graphic t-shirts its going to be so easy to wear them. They're super comfy&make a good alternative for wearing jeans or disco pants all the time. I'm going through a  bit of a phase where I cant decide if I want to dress all '90's Grunge' or stick to my usual monochrome&denim look. I think I'll probably end up combining to two somehow, which should be interesting.
