Kew Gardens

So, guess who has finished their first year of exams and therefore university?? I am now home which is absolutely ridiculous as it just feels like the other day that I was moving up to London and yet here I am back home again!

Anyway, the purpose of this post, I went to Kew Gardens the other day, despite the adversity of the District Line being shut, my parents and I managed to get there without much disaster that usual ensues while travelling.

The gardens themselves are so huge, I'd never really considered something so big could be so near to the centre of London. All the flowers were mostly in bloom, some bluebells were even in bloom in the conservation area that was modelled after British woodlands. The glasshouses were also phenomenal, the sheer amount of plants inside was ridiculous. The design of the actual buildings is so intricate, and although they look like they need a good painting they are kept in such a good condition. In fact, one was shut for renovation when we were there so maybe they're working their way through the older ones and doing them up a little bit!

Look at this cool staircase though! 

Giant redwood, that's only 1/3 of the size the American ones grow to!

Clothes wise, I wanted to be comfortable so I wore this playsuit from ASOS Tall, which is this beautifully stretchy material and has the nicest design ever. The sleeves are flared and so long that in the photo you can't even see my hands, and as someone who has longer arms, this rarely ever happens, so I was quite happy with that! I love love love this playsuit and I can see myself slowly relying on it for a go to piece throughout the summer, it's just fantastic.

Hat: ASOS

I bought this long shirt quite a while ago, and I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally have the weather to wear this in! This was shot a couple of weeks back when I first came back up to London, and although it was still a bit chilly I still felt super cool floating around in this shirt. Apologies for the lack of details or make up (lol) but this was just a quick walk in Regent's Park and a test run for outfit posts on my camera! I'm really impressed with how well they've turned out, although regrettably it does mean you can see how band my hair was looking .... 

Anywho, I hope you like the look and I'm now so close to being done with my exams, hopefully I'll be able to post a lot more regularly soon (famous last words) as I've got some great ideas for summer outfits ready to go! I just need some sun to wear them in!

Also aren't all these trees so gorgeous? I love that something like this can still exist within central London.

Outfit:

Shirt: The Ragged Priest (I think it may be gone now? Bought off ASOS)

Crop: Topshop 

Jeans: ASOS Ridley Jeans

Shoes: Nike

Denim for Days

Found this lovely little square in Fitzrovia not too far from my halls and it was so quiet so I made Luke take loads of photos so I could show off some of my favourite items of clothing. Only looking back now do I realise wearing the scarf and the jumper looks a little odd, but whatevs man that jumper was £5 and I've seen ones identical in Topshop. It's always worth scouring markets as there normally is something great like this buried amongst all the "I <3 Kush" hats.

Jacket - My Dad's

Wishlist #2

It couldn't be helped, there's so many new clothes, shoes & accessories coming out for the winter season lately that I can't resist wanting to buy so much of it! I love winter clothing, and I never seem to have enough, so while I've been scouting here's a few of my top picks from various brands...

Left Column:

Missguided Jeanette High Neck Swing Dress in Grey

Asos Cape in Colour Block

Asos Oversized Scarf in Check

Right Column:

River Island Black Chunky Cleated Sole T Bar Shoes

The Ragged Priest Gross Crop

Abandon Ship Apparel Mandala Crop

Centre:

Drop Dead Dark Hand Kimono

Didn't realise how much stuff I actually was keeping tabs on until I started making this haha! 

The scarf from Asos could have been any one of about 20, I absolutely adore Asos' knitwear section this time of year and I can guarantee at least one item from it will be mine by the time the year is out. (I already own so many scarves, another won't hurt, right??)

The kimono I thought was a little different while also being very autumnal, and I love Drop Dead pretty much unconditionally, or it would be, if my bank account was bottomless.

All the other items are from just being nosy around on different stores and they really caught my eye and I've been praying for them to magically appear in my room, but alas, not yet.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my picks!

Wishlist #1

From left to right clockwise:

Floral Overlay Shirt - Topshop

Asos Sleeveless Body With Wrap Front

Motel Gabby Sequin Dress

River Island Grey Floral Print Shirt

Hello again! Too long since I've last posted, I was trying to keep to a weekly schedule but apparently I couldn't even keep that up for one week! Anyway, here's a small list of some of the select few items I've been lusting after lately. I'm not feeling all to autumn-y yet as the last few days have been so warm, I'm still out and about in skirts and shorts with no tights, hence why none of these are coats or other winter accessories... yet.

I'm trying to get a but more adventurous with my wardrobe, so when I've been out shopping lately I've been trying to push myself to get things that are a little bit out of my comfort zone. The Topshop dress and the River Island shirt are both a lot more vibrant than most things I would normally wear, while also both being quite trans-seasonal. You can't really see it from the picture, but the Topshop dress has cut outs that look super flattering.

The Asos body is included because it's unlike anything you normally see,  and I think it would be great layered up for the autumn. Lastly, and definitely not least, is the Motel sequin dress. Just look at it. It's seriously one of the nicest looking dresses I've ever seen. I love how the sequins make it flashy but the bodycon makes it also look quite classy too. As I'm going away to university quite soon, I thought this would make a lovely freshers week dress, as well as something that could be worn for any evening out.

What do you guys think?
