Flowers

Flower Crown: Primark  |  Top: H&M

Seeing as my chief photographer/boyfriend has been frolicking in the highlands for the last month, I've had a wee halt on any outfit photos. Not wanting to resort back to the dreadful photos I used to take myself (new readers, that is not a cue to go looking through my archives for a good giggle) I've had to make do with another narcissistic photo of my mug, which I'm now going to attempt to disguise as a post about my love of flower crowns.

I've not actually worn this thing in public yet, and I'm not sure if I ever will. While I think it's quite adorable, and would love it on someone else, I think I'd feel like a bit of an idiot. Saying that, I am absolutely in love with the seventies trend this summer and I think the flowers might tie in well with that, and a huge pair of palazzo pants that I cant wait to wear.

Cardi: Topman  |  Shirt: Topshop  |  Shorts: Vintage Levi  |  Bag: Vintage  |  Shoes: Kurt Geiger

I love this aran knit cardi, I had been searching for one for yongos and eventually found one in Topman, and seeing as they now cater for prepubescent boys, I found a nice small one that fits really well.

In other news, I nearly got arrested last week, it's not as exciting as it sounds, but is completely ridiculous so thought I'd share. I picked my boyfriend up from the station at about 11.30pm on a Friday night, then we stopped to get a Chinese take away. On the way home I got pulled over by the police, apparently my driving looked wobbly hah! wobbly? come on! I actually think I'm a very good driver (sometimes). Anyway, I had to do a breath test, but I hadn't had a single drop to drink for days so knew I'd be fine - but I bloody wasn't! The reading said I was only just under the limit! That's right, another mug of lemsip and I've have been in the slammer! I doubt they believed me, but that's all I could put it down to; I'd been taking all sorts of medicines for my cold. I found this all very funny, but don't know what I'd have done if I'd actually been arrested!!

Coat: Topshop |  Shirt: Zara  |  Cardigan: Topman  |  Shorts: Vintage Levi's  |  Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Although my face is completely over exposed and my expression pretty gormless, I love this outfit so decided to post these photos anyway, rather than attempt to squeeze into the nook of that tree again. During the summer I wore these shorts far too much, so when winter came around they got shoved to the back of my wardrobe and were replaced with a black cord version, which I have worn far too much all winter! Recently I've discovered my love for my these Levi's again. Shorts are my absolute go to item, I feel so comfortable in them and they just seem to make any outfit look better.

I know what you're thinking; now there's a girl with too much time on her hands! You're probably right, although it actually only took about 10 minutes to transform my hair into something Heidi would be proud of. It's just 3 French plaits, wound around my head, it looks a little messy and there are grips poking out from every angle, but for a first attempt I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm still undecided whether I like it or not, is it a little ridiculous to style yourself on Heidi? (For those of you who are unaware, I'm talking about Heidi, the TV show about the girl who lived in the Swiss Alps, and definitely not Heidi Montag, just to clear that up!)

Hat: H&M  |  Dress: Topshop

It may surprise you to see that I'm looking a normal shade of pink today and that I'm not actually suffering from jaundice, as the photos in my last post suggest! My boyfriend came to visit yesterday and I roped him into taking some photos for me. As we were pottering around town trying to find the ideal photo spot, we were trying to decide who would look like a bigger moron. Personally, I think I won that one, it has to be more embarrassing being the one in front of the camera, especially when trying out your best 'ooh look at that bird in the distance' or 'there's something interesting on the floor' poses. His argument was that he would look like the artsy fartsy photography student trying to capture his muse, or something along those lines! So I thought I would ask what you think, do you feel like an idiot in front of the camera?
