Gatsby? What Gatsby?

dress - M&S
headdress & gloves - ebay
shoes - Primark

A) I apologise profusely for jumping on the Gatsby bandwagon.
B) I apologise in equal proportion for not posting in seemingly years! Revision has loomed, and continues to do so, but I have a little more time before my next exam.

I saw Gatsby last night with my mother. Maybe having read the book and adoring the soundtrack allowed me to enjoy it to a greater degree than she did (falling asleep in the first half hour). With Mr Luhrmann directing you are expecting slight extravagance and so whilst providing decadent party scenes, I enjoyed it's ability to remain at a reasonable closeness with the book. Oh and the clothes were very pretty.

In other news, I have finally decided on my firm and insurance university places (3/4 of an hour before the deadline, I kid you not.) If you are in a similar position do inform me of where you're going!

you know I love the past 'cause I hate suspense

jacket - Zara
top and jeans - Primark

necklace - H&M
wedges - Dorothy Perkins

Mr Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long?

Anyway, it's nice you've finally made an appearance despite making my daily wardrobe struggles even more tricky to figure out. I haven't really worn this necklace since prom and thought it might brighten up an otherwise simple outfit. I really am living in simple block colours at the moment, some vague attempt at being ~minimalist~ if anyone asks. Though my wardrobe is far from capsule (see blog title for more details).

Exams are unfortunately looming and as I flick through seemingly-endless-poorly-scribbled-notes, I can't help but start making summer plans (which makes for terribly ineffective revision).I just can't wait to escape!

^ definitely recommend this for getting into the summer spirit!

Springspiration

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter, I've been such a terrible blogger I know!

Mainly because I came down with some cold/flu/virus thing which seemed to span over the entire two week period much to my delight..

Although I managed to pick up a few pretty items via the magic of online shopping (which I shall feature here soon) I haven't taken any outfit photos for ages! </3

Instead I shall provide some spring inspired images, as the sun has finally graced us with its presence, and I feel ready to venture to warm places and sip cocktails until early evening..

(I also managed to find some rings similar to these on Asos which I've barely taken off)

(would very much like this outfit please)

I have also fallen in love with Ivania Carpio from love-aesthetics and basically just want my wardrobe to be monochrome and nothing more..

Oh, I'm also having serious doubts about my English Lit & Drama course for uni, wondering whether I should've opted for something more marketing/graphics based.. If anyone is doing such course I would love some words of advice! x
