We've got another post coming up soon focusing on Autumn/Winter fashion, if you're like me and you can't wait to start piling jumpers and scarfs on. Does anyone else have any A/W essentials already?

August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born.
Let's be honest; the great British Summertime hasn't been that great has it? It's either been unbearably hot and sticky, or we've had apocalyptic style flooding! I can't wait for the Autumn months, when I can actually cope with dressing myself in the morning for the day ahead. I've even started stock piling various Autumn/Winter items, ready for when the temperature drops.
Dress- Primark, Loafers- Deichmann, Coat- Topshop (old) via ebay, Belt- Primark, Bag- Matalan (old)

Bag it up.
It's a bit of a blogger cliche to do a 'What's in my bag?' post, I know. Maybe I just wanted to show off my new handbag (or maybe I just wanted to use a Geri Halliwell song as a blog title), anyway here's all the crap I carry around on a daily basis...

Back in the game.
It's been a while eh?! I don't think I've done a post in over six months, luckily Bryden has been holding the fort while I've been busy with college work. I've had my head stuck in books so much over the past few months I've hardly taken any photos at all. Here's a few of my current favourites as a sort of rubbish, apologetic catch up. I promise to be a better blogger from here on in....
1. Finally being able to read fashion magazines again, instead of English Language text books 2. A nice lady in Fenwicks gave me loads of these mini Rituals shower foam gels, they're so good! 3. I've become so bored with dark winter nails lately, breaking out the pastels and bright shades again 4. I felt like a bit of an arse buying a band t shirt from Topshop, but I love Fleetwood Mac too much not to 5. My faux fur addiction spiralled out of control this winter, prompting my lad mates to start calling me 'Roadkill' 6. I finally got over my fear of faux leather and bought this H&M skater skirt, I've since bought various other faux leather items and probably started a new addiction 7. This hat was only £3.25 from Internacionale! I've wanted a hat like this for a while now but could never justify paying Topshop etc prices in case it didn't suit me 8. I'd bought this dress from Primark months ago, but took it back and regretted it. I spotted it in the sale for £10 and snapped it up. It looks way too nice to be from Primark 9. I've wanted some gold hoops for a while, but was worried I'd look a bit tacky if i got the wrong size. This pack from Primark for a measly quid is perfect for testing out different sizes 10. The ring on the left was another Internacionale bargain at just £3.99, it goes great with my (now sadly battered looking) YSL arty ring 11. I love this H&M orange suede effect bag, I just wish it was double the size or I could learn how to down size my crap I carry around on a daily basis 12 & 13. Now I've got more spare time on my hands I can actually do things with my family and friends. These photos are actually from a while ago, they were taken in my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Newcastle that I always go to with my parents. I have major cravings right now!

REDRUM.
I returned from my weekend away working in Durham today; although Durham is a lovely city, I'm so glad to be home! I managed to find some time when I wasn't working to explore the winding streets, vintage shops and even a typical tourist trip to the amazing cathedral.
I was without a tripod or my official photographer (a.k.a. Bryden) this weekend so I had to resort to some good old fashioned Myspace mirror poses.
By the end of the weekend I seemed to be matching my outfits to the lovely 1970's decoration that was a running theme throughout the creepy flat I was staying in. I never thought turquoise sinks would count as fashion inpsiration!
Tops- Primark, Skirt- Warehouse, Belt- Found in my room after a night out!
I picked these little feather earrings for a mere £3, an absolute bargain.
Just a little reminder that the North East Blogger Meet Up is just over a month away. We're so excited about seeing our 'internet fwends' from the Sheffield meet up and making new ones! Just let me know if you'd like to come along; everyone is welcome, don't be shy!

Happy Easter!
I finally got a day off work today, so I decided to go home for Easter Monday. As usual when I go to my parents house, we end up going to somewhere along the coastal route. Today we ended up in Warkworth. It was so pretty there, bunting was hanging everywhere for Easter and all the flowers were in full bloom. Summer is well and truly on its way...
Look at me taking outfit photos on location like a real fashion blogger, shame I haven’t figured out how not to look awkward yet! My hair is also looking a bit wild thanks to the wind.
Jacket- Primark, Top- New Look, Skirt- ASOS, Belt- Primark, Bag- ASOS (Bought with my Groupon voucher), Brogues- Primark, Sunglasses- Ray Ban.
I’m very excited to announce we’re currently trying to organise a Blogger meet up in Newcastle with Carla, the provisional date is Saturday the 11th of June. We had such a lovely time meeting everyone when we went to Sheffield and would really like to see you all there. Are any of you up for this?
EDIT: The meet up date is now more likely to be the Saturday the 25th of June, so we don't clash with the Manchester meet up, confirmation coming soon!
