Royal Mess.

Evening girlies! The evenings are drawing in dead quick, and my my isn't it getting chilly, all the reason to drink more tea accompanied with a barrel of biscuits right? Brr. Now most of the time I'm a morning person (despite what the boyfriend may say), and once I'm up, I'm up...but this cold makes it so hard to get out of bed, especially when your student lifestyle means heating is an absolute luxury and you've been using candles to warm your room haha. What makes it worse is that this is just the beginning, this cold is only a scratch on the surface; it's going to get colder, and as it does I'm going to roll into university looking more and more dishevelled.

Another wear out of this Kate Middleton-esque dress, it's such an ideal dress to just throw on and build a look around; the leather jacket toughens it up whilst the red scarf print and lips a bit of oomph. Know what I mean?

Recently the parents and I ventured up to the town where I will be studying in September to have a wander round and to get their approval on the house I'd picked. The day was a success as not only were my mum and dad impressed that I managed to find great accommodation all by myself haha, but we also found some bargains in the local shops. That night I was meeting friends for some drinks so wanted to wear something versatile that could take me from day to night without too much fuss. Kate Middleton inspired this outfit pick, as I had previously seen her supporting Team GB on various occasions, and of course each time she looked immaculately polished. She most definitely knows how to dress to impress, and quite a lot of the time this seems to be in blue. So there I was rummaging through my clothes trying to find my old Topshop dress that I've had for years.

Have you ever taken inspiration from Kate Middleton? It was quite refreshing to keep it simple with just a few elegant accessories, and the nude nails. Although, after this week I can't wait to paint my nails in glorious colours after having to keep them clean for work.
 Apologies for the lack of posts, bad blogger + stupid blogger, I couldn't work out  why blogger wasn't allowing me to upload, and after whinging for a few days I finally work it out in just a few seconds! How annoying; hence the belated post. Have a lovely weekend girls!
