Little corner

Here is where I blog, read Game of Thrones, drink tea and avoid my dissertation. I love having a little place I can sit that isn't my bedroom! I really do love my new little house, it's such a princess castle and the next uni year is going to be so fun here. I don't have much more to say about it, pretty self explanatory!

Winter wishlist

Being in bed ill with rain outside has got me wanting knitwear and all things cosy. I'm even starting to think about my Christmas list, I'm looking at you Naked Palette. This is the winter coat I think I might get, after seeing it in Trafford centre and falling in love with the lining. Although a winter coat is such an investment so I need more time to think about it! At £78 it isn't too bad at all, especially with student discount on top, but it's hard to imagine if it will go with all of my clothes. After last year of falling out of love with my coat and freezing to death in my leather jacket instead, these things are some serious business! As much as I love summer and hate being cold, I adore winter clothes and can't wait to pick some up.

The dress that everyone has

dress: Topshop - Sandals: Primark - Rucksack: River Island

A combination of lots of shifts at work, my skin becoming awful, and not having a clue what the weather will do from hour to hour, my outfits have become pretty dull and safe. This dress in particular is really easy to throw on and be ready to go. Ever since it went into the sale for £20, I've seen so so many people wearing it, but it isn't crazily short on anyone a normal height, unlike myself! As bad as it is to say, I'm looking forward to being able to wear this with Primark cosy tights and some chunky boots, sorry summer.

Byron Burger

I am most definitely one of those people who take photos of their food, sorry not sorry. When it looks this good though, how could you not? Byron Burger opened a Manchester branch in June, much to mine and my top chummy Kaitlin's delight. I'm not going to pretend to be a food critic, this isn't even really a review, I just wanted to post the photos and say it was gooooood.

Chester day trippin'

After having an extra day off from work that what I thought I had, I spent an hour frantically texting my two friends who live in Chester asking if I could come visit. Here are a few photos I took that I love. Chester is such a quaint city, I see why it's such a tourist attraction. I love going away for a day every once in a while. As much as I love Manchester, it's always nice to have a change!

Quickly becoming one of my favourite tops ever, is this tshirt from Me & Yu. I saw this top in Afflecks Palace more than a year ago, and kept putting it off for no reason at all. I went last week and checked to see if they still had it, when I couldn't find it for a while I was gutted. When I finally found it, I knew how much I must have wanted it! Me & Yu are a brand that hand print all of their tshirts, the quality of the fabric and production is lovely. I couldn't recommend them more, i'm definitely wanting to purchase a few more from the collection! There really is something to be said for buying from independent designers like Me & Yu, you know you'll get something more unique and better quality than Topshop (no offence Topshop, luv u 4eva)
I guess I also love this tshirt, because I relate to it so much, (yes I do feel like I'm having 15 year old teen angst saying that, sorry!) If you follow me on twitter, you'll probably have gathered by now that my favourite band are Bon Iver, I saw them live last year and it was perfect. I also love artists/bands like Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Joe Banfi, Keaton Henson, Glasvegas, Nick Mulvey, Bat For Lashes, Daughter etc etc. Although constantly listening to music like Keaton Henson should have me pretty down, it actually really chills me out.
Anyway, back to the tshirt! I wore this outfit to visit friends in Chester (which I'll also be blogging about) as it's the perfect comfy throw on outfit for travelling and rainy weather. I love how the converse and nail varnish (Essie, Naughty Nautical) break up the monochrome of the outfit, just because the sky is black, doesn't mean I have to be. I obviously wore it with my favourite Chloetea necklace, but I think I might have too many words on me. Along with my lyrics tattoo on my back, I'm a walking notebook in this outfit!

Chloetea

I know it's tacky, you know it's tacky, but I also love it so so much! I thought about just having it say Chloe, but if you're going to go for tacky, go for your Twitter and Instagram username! This necklace was only £2.50 from Primark, and came with quite a few letters, so I could still switch it around if I wanted to change it I suppose. It's such an awful, guilty pleasure, that I can't help but adore!
