Sorry for the lack of posts recently! Since I got back from Copenhagen I have had so much paperwork to deal with from work, and this has been the first weekend where I've cut off the umbilical cord between my laptop and myself (well until now to do this post aha)! </div>

Copenhagen was such a captivating city; it is definitely up there with one of my favourite European capitals and I hope to visit again one day. It is often said that the Danish fairy-tale author, Hans Christian Andersen was inspired by Copenhagen as the setting for many of his stories. Whilst walking through the quaint cobbled streets, it is not hard to understand why. </div>

Flights to Copenhagen are RIDICOUSLY cheap! I cannot say how cheap as this was the Christmas present for my boyfriend, but put it this way: you can pay more on a round trip to London than I had to for Copenhagen! We stayed at <a href="http://www.brochner-hotels.dk/da/vores-hoteller/hotel-danmark/">Hotel Danmark</a>, a 10 minute walk from the central station. This was very handy as the airport has a direct link to Copenhagen via train, so we did not have to lug our suitcases much further. The hotel itself was average; the rooms were rather small (the bed was literally touching the wall) but it catered for our needs seeing as we spent very little time there. An amazing perk of staying with <a href="http://www.brochner-hotels.dk/da/vores-hoteller/hotel-danmark/">Hotel Danmark</a> was that they had 'Wine Hour' from 5.00pm - 6.00pm daily, in which you received one FREE glass of wine. What's better than free wine?! We stayed in a good location as the main buzz of restaurants and bars was only a five minute walk from the hotel.</div>

On the first morning in the Danish capital we climbed up the city's main tower, the <a href="http://www.rundetaarn.dk/en/">Rundetaarn</a>. If you recently watched Richard Ayoade's <a href="http://www.channel4.com/programmes/travel-man-48-hours-in">Travel Man</a>, you would have witnessed him and Noel Fielding clambering up the Round Tower too. Most unusually, the round tower possesses very few stairways, and most of the interior is made up of spiraling ramps. The never-ending walls made the building somehow seem to be a fortress of purity. The view at the top was very spectacular (but also very windy) and encapsulated the moorish architecture of the Danish buildings.</div>

Later that day, we visited <a href="http://www.kongernessamling.dk/rosenborg/">Rosenborg Slot</a>, an enchanting palace that was orginally built as a summer house in 1606. The brick work of the castle almost makes it seems like a delicious ginger-bread house. Though a small building, the level of wealth is evident inside the castle. The decadence the Danish royalty indulged in is unreal; one room which was explained to be their entertaining hall was probably equivalent in size to my house! <a href="http://www.kongernessamling.dk/rosenborg/">Rosenborg Slot</a> is also surrounded by gorgeous gardens that looked magical with the touch of frost we experienced on the first day.</div>

After that we did the cliched photos by Nyhavn, a popular entertainment district along the harbour. We did indeed eat at Nyhavn on one of the evenings, in a quirky restaurant that I no longer remember the name of, so I am unable to review it. If you are planning on eating at Nyhavn, I did note that the prices for food and drink along the popular waterfront were considerably more expensive. </div>

The remainder of the day was spent mooching around on our way to <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g189541-d245963-Reviews-Kastellet-Copenhagen_Zealand.html">Kastellet</a>. Walking around <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g189541-d245963-Reviews-Kastellet-Copenhagen_Zealand.html">Kastellet</a> was one of my favourite points of the mini-break. It is a really interesting structure, as it is a star shaped fortress. The area still houses some military activity, but it is most popular as The Little Mermaid resides within it. Of course I has to get into the queue (yes there was a queue) to get my photo taken with the iconic statue! There was also a really cute windmill in one of the corners of the fortress that I got a few snaps with.</div>

The following morning we woke up and it had snowed! Although there was very little within the city, we had decided to venture to the outskirts on this day where it was much more wintry. We had a bit of confusion with the public transport (it is not very clear in Denmark so be warned) as I desperately wanted to visit a palace called <a href="http://www.dnm.dk/UK/Forside.htm">Frederiksborg Slot</a>. I had done my research on google prior to our trip and discovered we needed to take a train out of Copenhagen for fourty minutes. At the station a local tried to help us, so I explained to him we were trying to get to Frederiksborg. He told us to take a ten minute tube, which didn't seem right considering what good old google had told me, but we went with it. We ended up at another place called <a href="http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/culture/posh-frederiksberg">Frederiksberg</a> (see that little 'e' makes all the difference) which although had some beautiful, snow-covered gardens (above), it was not where we were trying to get to. </div>

Thankfully, when we went back to the station, the tourist information desk was able to tell us which train we needed to catch to get to <a href="http://www.dnm.dk/UK/Forside.htm">Frederiksborg Slot</a> (although still nearly going to the wrong platform; fail!). Finally, we got to the magnificent palace, surrounded by vast frozen lake. We took a leisurely walk around the lake, viewing the beautiful building from every angle. After nearly missing out on seeing <a href="http://www.dnm.dk/UK/Forside.htm">Frederiksborg Slot</a>, this was a lovely way to end the trip.</div>

I would definitely recommend visiting Copenhagen, as it is an awesome city with lots to see and do. However, it is not so big that you would need to take a week to get around all of it! Should you decide to go, try and find The <a href="http://www.copenhagendowntown.com/">Downtown Hostel</a>, who happily put extra <i>smiles</i> in your drinks ;)</div>

It's been a few weeks since I last posted. January was a bit of a blur. I always find that month a bit of a struggle as it is such a come-down after the adrenaline of the Christmas festivities. The weather is dreary, the summer holiday you booked to Portugal seems light-years away, and everyone feels obliged to scrutinize themselves so they can come up with a way to 'resolve' themselves! I find New Year's resolutions such an unhealthy way of assessing one's personal growth. Resolution means to resolve something; surely we should be aiming to accept ourselves for who we are rather than criticising ourselves to the point that we sign up for a £250 a year gym membership, that we will only utilize in January? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of setting myself a resolution I am going to continually try to do things to improve my self-confidence, like keeping up with this blog. In fact I may be starting another blog to fuel my passion for cinema, so watch this space! I am also going to keep on travelling, hitting the Danish capital Copenhagen tomorrow, so I will have reviews ready for you when I come home.</div>

These photos were taken midway through January, on a rare sunny day. I am so glad that it is beginning to get lighter in the mornings and evenings. A child of the summer I am, and I think it shows in my appreciation of the warmer seasons. So at the sudden sight of the sun I pulled on my new spring jumper dress. This pale pink number is from Missguided of course! I had been looking for a pink toned jumper dress for ages, scouring sites such as Pink Boutique, Miss Foxy and Pretty Little Thing. Although these fashion outlets have got jumpers of a similar description, none of them were exactly what I had envisaged. Luckily, my go-to fashion website Missguided won again and I found this gorgeous knit! I am a massive fan of jumper dresses at the moment as I find them so easy; throw it over yourself, pair with some awesome accessories, slip on some chic ankle boots and voila! Your outfit is sorted!</div>

It has been a busy of couple of weeks for me since coming back from Budapest. I have had the challenge of setting up my classroom at school for a second time, as we have moved into a brand new building. Following that, I have had my graduation celebrations this week! So as you can imagine I have been slacking a bit with the blog. I actually took these photos last weekend but have only just gotten round to posting them.</div>

Graduation was a bit surreal in all honesty. At my uni, unlike most others who host graduation a month or two after the students completing their studies, graduation is not until the following January. It was lovely to see all of my course-mates, that I had spent four years with, desperately trying not to fall asleep in Reflective Teaching. Over the last few months, I have missed uni a lot and wished more than anything I could go back. However, I think I am starting to embrace the many changes in my life. There are some things about uni that I do not miss, and much of the lifestyle and drama I do not want any part in. It is fair to say I may be adulting at last haha!</div>

I don't know if anyone has guessed, from viewing my previous posts, but I am a little bit, no A LOT, in love with mustard this winter. I usually avoid bright colours such as yellow; I am a huge fan of neutrals and monochrome. Yet, the mustard shade offers yellow in a much more muted vibe. I find that as a blonde some yellow shades can wash me out and also put me a risk of looking like a canary. Mustard is much warmer, which compliments my blonde hair and tanned skin tone. I now own a mustard scarf, bag, skirt, hat and now this awesome suede jacket from Missguided. I like to style my mustard items with monochromes, baby pinks and mauves (other popular colours this winter). I thought my jacket looked chic when paired with this on-trend striped turtle-neck from Forever 21. </div>

Happy New Year! I have just got back from my little break in beautiful Budapest. It was a lovely escape from reality and that odd limbo-like phase that occurs between Christmas Day and New Years. </div>

The Hungarian capital is much larger than I had anticipated; separated by the Danube River, it is technically made up by two cities, Buda and Pest, which became one city in 1873. We were staying in a gorgeous apartment on the Pest side of the city, within the Jewish Quarter. On our first day we wandered past the stalls of the Christmas market outside St. Stephen's Basilica, sipping hot apple cider. We then took some photos outside the Parliament building, which is third largest in the world! </div>

Clearly a city separated by a huge river deserves some impressive bridges, and Budapest has plenty of them. It's most famous is the Szechenyi Chain Bridge (which you can see beyond me in the picture below) but the Freedom Bridge and the Margret Bridge are also interesting pieces of architecture. Outside the Parliament Building, a memorial made from iron shoes can be found at the edge of the river. This is to honour the Jews who were murdered by fascist military men during the Second World War. </div>

Later on we crossed over the Margret Bridge to see the Fisherman's Bastion on the Buda bank, which is a terrace styled in neo-Gothic architecture. This was one of my favourite parts of the city as the building looked like moorish gingerbread houses. The area gets its name from the fishermen who defended the walls of the city during the middle ages, using this terrace as a viewpoint.</div>

My favourite day of the trip involved a trip to the Gellert Spas. Budapest is famous for its natural thermal springs, which has led to the construction of many relaxing baths such as the Szechenyi, Rudas and Kiraly Baths. The Gellert Baths is one of the most recently build spas, as it was built over what had once been Turkish baths. The coolest experience of the spa was soaking in the outdoor thermal bath and being able to see some of the city sights, whilst enjoying the hot water. </div>

Budapest is definitely a fascinating city to visit and it is ranked the 25th most popular city in the world, so it can be said it is a hot destination right now. The price of food and drink is extremely reasonable too, so if you are looking for a break on a budget, the Hungarian capital could be perfect for you!</div>

Prepare yourselves for an overload of London vibes! Over the weekend we paid a short visit to the big smoke for an assortment of activities. We managed to do a whistle-stop tour of the city, seeing sights such as Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, the Shard and even riding on the London Eye. Our trip also included cocktails at a awesome ice bar and being enchanted by the Harry Potter Studio Tour. It was the best weekend and I wish I could've stayed longer!</div>

Almost immediately after hopping off the train we headed to the <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/">National History Museum</a>. There are so many museums in London like the NHM that take free admissions, such as the <a href="http://www.vam.ac.uk/">Victoria & Albert</a> and the <a href="http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/visitmuseum/prices.aspx">Science Museum</a>, so if we had had longer during our trip I would have spent hours exploring these treasure chests. However, we only had two days so I thought the NHM would be perfect as it has a bit of everything inside for everyone (and who doesn't love Dinosaurs?). The NHM is awesome for children (and big kids like myself ) as it has loads of interactive exhibitions like the animatronic T-Rex and the earthquake simulator; I recall being in awe of the museum as an eight year old. If you have not been yet, you must make a visit at some point in your lifetime.</div>

In the afternoon we wandered through the cobbled streets and winding markets of Camden Town. This borough of London is by far one of the coolest and most interesting places I have ever been. Amazing vintage clothes, unique pieces of jewellery, talented artists and delicious street food made up the stalls of the most notorious market in England. The strangest store we entered went by the name of <a href="http://www.cyberdog.net/">Cyberdog</a>. The only appropriate way I can think to describe this shop is My Little Pony at a rave!</div>

In the evening we went to the most breathtaking bar ever! And it was quite literally breathtaking seeing as it was made out of ice! That's right, we went to <a href="http://www.icebarlondon.com/">Ice Bar London</a>, which is absolutely incredible. It managed to transport you to somewhere in the Arctic, so that when you stepped back outside again you had completely forgotten you were in London. Bookings are £16.50, however, that does include a cocktail, so despite the expense it is worth a visit. </div>

Lastly it was up to Watford to visit the magical <a href="https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/">Harry Potter Studios</a>. The whole experience was aptly spellbinding! As soon as we walked through the doors of the Great Hall it felt as if you were a witch or wizard attending Hogwarts. You can only appreciate the level of detail that the prop designers went into for these films once you visit the studios. The endless man-hours that must have been undertaken to bring the Harry Potter world to life is incredible. There is so much to discover about how the props and sets were created behind the scenes, so this is a number one recommendation of mine of attractions to visit in the UK! And the Butterbeer is also yummy!</div>

Although being the biggest girlie girl, I usually tend to avoid wearing such feminine shades as purple and pink. This Autumn / Winter however, I have been struggling to resist the dusty pinks and mauves that have been on trend. Most winters I dig out the preppy tartan and collared dresses and then I am set. Though I still love a bit of the Scottish print, I am really enjoying some of the more prettier items that are making up my current Winter wardrobe. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this fur gilet / sleeveless blazer from Missguided about a month ago. I wasn't really getting on board with the whole sleeveless blazer craze; I still feel it is a passing trend like jelly sandals were for 2014, so I didn't see much point in investing. Despite this, faux fur never seems to be out of style during the colder months, so I felt this combination of the sleeveless blazer with a faux fur gilet was a chic compromise. I think this is a really interesting piece due to the layering effect and, although it may not be as trendy in the New Year, the item's uniqueness will urge me to continue to wear it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also bought this lacy, purple dress from Missguided. This was a bit of a risk for me because before buying this dress I did not own anything purple (which is shocking considering the overflowing state of my wardrobe). The dress is a beautiful piece regardless of my initial hesitation towards it. The nude-mesh material offers a body sculpting effect and the purple lace is very feminine and elegant. You cannot really see on the photos but it also has a cut out detail on the waist which creates even more of a slimming effect. </div>

One of the most extravagant places to visit in the Peak District is Chatsworth House, hidden in the rolling hills of the Derbyshire Dales. I have visited many times, as I am lucky enough to have it on my doorstep and have always been in awe of the decadence of the maze of rooms within the house and the beautiful surrounding gardens. I have never, however, visited near Christmas time. What a treat it was that I got to today, as it was the winter wonderland from many of my day dreams! </div>

With their Wind in the Willows theme this year, it was purely enchanting to feast my eyes on the abundance of richly decorated Christmas trees and various other trimmings. I can't imagine the fun the staff must have had in embellishing the building. </div>

There are a lot of events to get involved with at Chatsworth this year. As you strolled through the house there were plenty of actors, taking on the roles of the characters from Wind in the Willows, so if you have children I can imagine this would be very entertaining for them. On particular evenings the Nativity is being put on in the farmyard with live animals. Unfortunately, it was not being run today when I visited, but if you check the <a href="http://www.chatsworth.org/">Chatsworth website</a> then you can find out when these are being held. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chatsworth is definitely worth a visit as it left me with a magical feeling and wishing that I could too turn my house into a festive grotto. It is £22 entry for adults but totally worth it for immersing yourself in the Christmas spirit.</div>

I don't know if anybody else has noticed but I think Christmas has suddenly hit us. Almost overnight, fairy lights have gone up, trees have appeared in windows and festive tunes are dominating the radio stations (and my Spotify account). I am not sure if this Christmas cheer is contagious but I have also seemed to have developed an addiction to mulled wine! So this weekend was spent visiting the most gleeful Christmas displays in my local area. The first stop was the Bottle Kiln, originally an estate sawmill making pit-props for the Newdigate Estate coal mines. It has now been converted into a unique and relaxing contemporary space for fine dining or browsing through a labyrinth of intircate knik-knaks. </div>

After that we paid a visit to my old work establishment, Reuben Shaw & Sons, which has the most merry Christmas display in the whole of Nottinghamshire! It feels more like a museum than a garden centre and has a fabulous assortment of Christmas decorations. If you are looking to indulge in some yuletide spirit then it is definitely work a visit. Once we had purchased some adorable baubles, it was up into the attic (or rather send the boyfriend up there hehe) and then lavishly trim the tree. So yes, I have definitely been infected with Christmasness. </div>

And what better way to spend a festive weekend than all snuggled up in a cosy jumper dress? This snugly number is from non-other than Missguided, which I managed to snap up for only £17 because of their brilliant Cyber Weekend. The chic, camel blazer is also another Missguided find which I got for a similar price - amazing considering that when this outfit is put together it looks incredibly more expensive than it is. Of course I am sporting my mustard bag again because it is my fave at the moment, but I have also whacked on some vintage knee-high boots in black to keep my legs nice and cushy. So let me know what you think of this post in the comments box :)</div>

At the weekend I was taken on a spontaneously cute trip to Southwell. For those of you who are not from my local area, I guess Southwell is the closest comparison to Cambridge in Nottingham. It has winding streets with quaint 18th Century houses, interesting little shops and pubs with corners to cosy up in with a glass of mulled wine (I did exactly that, of course). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The central attraction of Southwell is the 12th Century minister it possesses. It has been well preserved, maintaining much of its gothic, Romanesque architecture, so it is a picturesque spot for some blog photos.</div>

Now let's talk about the fashion. As you may have realised in my last post, I am a bit of a Missguided fan-girl right now. And how could you not be when they had a 'Cyber Weekend' on from Black Friday till Tuesday this week? That is how I managed to snap up this divine faux-fur coat for just £30! Unfortunately it has gone back up to its original price of £60 and is low in stock, so I am pretty chuffed with the deal that I got on this baby. It is gorgeously soft and keeps you suitably toasty. So yes, I am in love! And did I mention its is a beautifully, dusty pink? </div>

I also purchased the slinky leotard I am wearing in these pictures from Missguided. I was a bit hesitant about this piece when it arrived as it is so low cut, but thanks to the magic of Wonderbra I have managed to find a deep-plunge bra that I can wear underneath that doesn't reveal any tacky straps (it's my pet hate). </div>

My skirt is a golden oldie from my days when I was obsessed with Ark. However, this continues to be a winner for the Christmas season and who doesn't love a bit of glitter? My boots and handbag are returners from my last post as I find they are great staple items for my wardrobe this Winter and go with pretty much everything I wear. </div>

It has been a while since I last wrote. Due to trying to find my feet in the working world, I haven't had much time for more artistic ventures. I have now, though, made a commitment to myself to keep up with the hobbies that give me peace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The transition from a lifetime in education to a full-time job, although still in education, has been interesting. I cannot say that I am fully used to it yet but I am just taking each day as it comes. The trouble I have been experiencing is the inability to shut off from my work mindset. I have now realised that returning home from work to only sit in front of the TV for the rest of the evening is not helpful as my brain does not actually switch off. It is still churning away a vat of thoughts. Yesterday, instead, I indulged in some creative activities which has really helped my brain to focus on something else.</div>

I have been lusting over the Autumn / Winter 70s trends that have been appearing all over the fashion world. Some may say I have invested too much in the two Ms of this season: mustard and mauve, however, I think these two shades are so pretty for Winter and make a lovely alternative to the classic burgundy, brown, orange colours that are thrown together with some tartan year after year! I do still love tartan though.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also enjoying the boho vibes we are experiencing this Autumn / Winter - floppy hats, floaty dresses, fringing, suede, (faux) fur - YES PLEASE! I bought this hat from Accessorize towards the end of the Summer and I am not sure I can think of a moment when I have been off work duty where I haven't worn it. It is a beaut and with it being beige it coordinates well with most outfits.</div>

I would also like to mention in this post my new favourite online shopping store: Missguided. Well this site is just divine! As my bank balance probably knows.. I am finding that clothes on the high street just haven't got the originality or edginess that I am looking for in an item. Whereas Missguided has hoards of interesting day and night dresses, knitwear, outerwear, accessories and probably much more that I have yet to buy. I bought this dress and the boots from the fashion gem and did they cost me a fortune? Not really considering most people thought the boots were worth the £100 region. Boots: £25. Dress: £20. Not bad eh? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway enjoy looking at the photos and I will hopefully be updating weeky from now on.</div>

Since I will be starting my job in September I guess this is my last real chance to put some crazy colours in my hair. For those of you who have followed me from the beginning, you'll know that I was obsessed with changing my hair colour at a certain time. Although over the last two years I have become more reserved and stuck to my natural colour: blonde. However, this Saturday I have had a relatively free day which is a rarity for Miss Busy! So what could I do to kill the boredom? Erm dye my hair pink of course... I've had the 'rose' shade from Bleach London in my toiletry set for over a year now but had never got round to trying it out. So I smothered it on my hair this morn and here is the end result. I love how cute it looks and I feel almost as if I have fairy hair haha! Luckily it only lasts for 2 - 10 washes because my birthday is fast approaching and I would like to be back au natural by then. Yet, I think the semi-permanent, vibrant colours that Bleach London offer are a cool way to give yourself a fresh look if you're getting sick of looking at the same ole face in the mirror every day.</div>

The dress in these photos is actually one I wore to a formal university event not so long ago. I am still so impressed with this purchase from Boohoo.com as it was only £25 and looks so much more expensive. However, you probably all know how much I advocate Boohoo.com products so that cannot come as a surprise. I know this dress will also be very versatile this Summer as I can wear it for warm evenings wandering along the beach in Wales and Weymouth (I'm optimistic about the British weather). Anyway let me know what you think in the comments section. </div>

Hello all! So that's it, I have finished uni now! Shock! I can't believe how fast those four years went and the amount I have learnt and grown in that time. I am excited for the next step; I have a teaching job for September which is going to be incredible! I am sure that it will be tough but it will be so rewarding to have ownership of a class for a whole year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As of now I am working, however, I am looking forward to having a break before I start at my school and have got trips to Ireland, Wales, Weymouth and Berlin in the near future! I will make sure I take loads of photos during my holidays and share them with you all.</div>

During this post I was trying to channel and boho-summer vibe. I got this dress from Boohoo.com a few months ago and the tye-dye design is perfect for a chilled festival look. I have also noticed that metallics are a massive favourite this season so I snapped up these strappy, shiny sandals from TK-Maxx recently! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also find that my hair can be quite a nightmare in the summer as my mane gets quite frizzy when it is humid. Thus, I like to style my hair into braids to minimize the crazy and plus I think it offers some hippy chic!</div>

Greetings from my bed full of half-eaten Easter eggs! I hope that everyone had a smashing bank holiday weekend. I went out in Nottingham on Saturday as one of my friends from university came to visit and spent all of Sunday reaping the effects of the night haha. Now I am back to my dissertation and the onset of assignment depression. However, whilst I was taking a break from staring blankly at my laptop screen, I managed to get some photos done of the outfit that I wore out on Saturday night!</div>

I picked up this vibrant playsuit from Topshop. It isn't the sort of thing I would usually wear for a night out. I am a mono-chrome girl at heart and I find bright colours a bit intimidating if I'm quite honest. Nonetheless, I thought I'd push my fashion boundaries and try something a bit different. I found the playsuit to be very flattering on my figure too as it covers up my hips but compliments my waist and bust. To keep the outfit lovely and bright I paired the playsuit with coral heels and a clutch bag of the same shade. Luckily for me I also had a lipstick at home that matched these accessories so I felt very coordinated! I thought this was a nice outfit to transition into the spring and summer months, and I can see myself wearing it numerous times. Let me know what you think in the comments :)</div>

Hello all! I am so sorry for the delay in posting again! I am currently having a catch up because I've actually taken loads of photos recently, but just haven't had the time to upload them. I've had a crazy few months, but I feel that I'm always having a crazy few months so what is the difference haha?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what's new for me? A lot of things. I set out this year to really make a change to my attitude and the way I approach things. It has been a challenge. I had a tough final teaching practice, with near on 40 pupils across four year groups to teach. Unsurprisingly, it was extremely stressful and there were points where I doubted myself. Nevertheless, after much resilience I got to the finish line and actually learnt the most from a placement than I ever have before. The thing that got me through it was my support network; I've been very lucky this year in that I have made an AMAZING set of friends through my hockey team (though it is such a shame I have not known them as long as I would like to) who were just there for me to rant to and blow off some steam. So a massive shout out to you fab girls :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lotV8zvWc5Q/VSK1nVWhA8I/AAAAAAAACf0/1zT0wdkNqt4/s1600/P1019714.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lotV8zvWc5Q/VSK1nVWhA8I/AAAAAAAACf0/1zT0wdkNqt4/s1600/P1019714.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now that I have finished placement I am onto the next immense task: my dissertation! Why on earth universities advocate this hardship on any poor student I do not know. As far as I can see at the moment, they only cause an abundance of stress. I'm sure once I've completed it I'll feel proud of what I've achieved, but right now I feel like bashing my head against a wall! I am making progress with it now though. I'm not entirely sure what I have written but the word count is slowly increasing, which is a good sign.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the same time as slugging away at my diss, I'm looking for jobs. This is slightly daunting and disheartening as I've not had much luck as of yet, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I will find the place that I am supposed to teach at. I'm trying not to think about how little of university I have left, but when I'm looking for work and the deadlines keep creeping up on me, it's hard to ignore that I will be entering the next stage of my life. It's bittersweet because I have loved everything up and down of uni, the people I have met along the way, and how it has shaped the person I've grown to be. But at the same time, I do want to begin the next step. It is exciting but scary. There is a lot to leave behind, but also a lot more waiting to be discovered! So on the whole I feel like I have learnt to be a lot more resilient this year, and try and see the silver linings.</div>

Anyway, these photos were taken an embarrassingly long time ago (as you can probably tell since I am tanned in the photos and at present I am much paler), so I am not even going to admit exactly when. Over the last year I have seen patterned trousers and leggings becoming a staple item on the high street. I got these patterned leggings from Topshop some time ago, but I think they are perfect for the transition from winter into spring, as they are relatively neutral. In these photos I've paired them with a slouchy white jumper for the chillier days, but recently I've been matching them up with a gorgeous yellow blazer (which I'm sure I'll be sharing soon on here) to give a more summery vibe. Let me know what you think!</div>

Greetings 2015!! It is my first post of the year and the fourth birthday of my blog! I cannot believe that it was four years ago in my Uncle Colin's spare room that I suddenly decided, to procrastinate doing my A-level work, I would start a blog. So much has happened over that time! I went to uni, I've had some really amazing opportunities, met some great people and now I'm on my way to starting my career. Crazy! I have a lot of high hopes for the next 12 months. I have set some resolutions for myself which I feel are going to bear great impact on my life. My main aim is to be more positive and only surround myself with positive people. Sadly, last year I realised that not everyone you meet has your best interests at heart, and life is way too short to spend time worrying about people like that. Adios!</div>

My favourite accessory of the moment is this zesty, orange bag! I love it so much I just had to express it to you guys haha. I have been craving a juicy orange bag for so long, it's been such an ordeal. Last year there was carroty-coloured bag in River Island that I lusted after for months. It was over the £50 mark, which is more than I like to spend on my bags. So I contemplated it for awhile until the item went out of stock. And I am glad I did not get it my friends, because this gorgeous, burnt, orange bag from Topshop looks so much more classy and expensive, even though it was only £32.40 (with student discount taken off; at normal sale price it is £36). I feel that sometimes River Island gets it so right with bags, and other times I'm look at one and think: 'did someone design this while drunk and watching the magic roundabout?' Their accessories often run the risk of bordering on chavvy in my opinion. Not to say I don't love River Island, because I do adore them, I'm just not always a fan of their bags.</div>

I paired the bag with my kitschy tartan/floral dress from Ark (last years Winter season, sorry guys) because I like how the red and navy shades complemented the bold colour of the bag. I also threw on my prize jacket of the moment, this faux sheep skin number from H&M, which is still in stock and so cosy by the way! This outfit has been one of my go-tos this winter, and I have been reusing it probably a bit more than I should. However, I think one of the dangers in Winter is to dress in dark colours and avoid bright colours for their association with summer, yet this outfit uses pops of colour without feeling summery! Anyway let me know what you think and enjoy the photos.</div>

Happy New Year's Eve everybody! I hope you are having a fabulous day so far and have all your arrangements made to welcome in the New Year. 2015! Gosh how fast did that come around? For me 2015 is going to be a year of change. I know, I know, how cliche Katie! But 2015 will mean the end of my education, (hopefully) obtaining a degree, getting a job and becoming (shock) a grown up! Although I have complained over and over about having to do four years of uni, I am glad that this is the path I have gone down as I needed 2014 to figure some things out. Looking back on this past year, I think this has been one of my most transitional periods. I have learnt a lot from the ups and downs, and I think that has made it ever more clearer what I want from life and who I want to be. Is this getting a bit too deep haha? Sorry let's move onto the lighter stuff!</div>

I wanted to share with you guys my New Year's outfit. I am heading to a small gathering/party tonight that one of my childhood friends is hosting, so I wanted to go for something pretty but not like my usual 'over dressed' self. Yesterday I hit the sales. Yes, it happened. It happens every year. My family kept asking me 'when are you going to sales' and I replied with 'I'm trying to be responsible with my money'. Hah! Liar! So clothes were tried on, cards were flashed and money was handed over. Oopsy? In my defence I did try to be good, the intentions were there, I just can't resist a spot of shopping (more like a Tsunami of shopping but oh well). This exquisite lime-green/yellow coat was an absolute find for only £30!! They only had one left in my size so I assumed it had to be fate telling me it was meant to be mine. I also bought these decadent, glittery heels for £25; they are so beautiful, they make my feet look dazzling. And 'where from?' I hear you ask: River Island. I purchased a few other items yesterday but I thought that River Island was the best value for money in the sales. </div>

My newest hair obsession is dutch braids after a friend taught me how to master them. I have noticed that many bloggers, fashionistas and celebrities have been loving the halo braid at the moment, so I have been styling my hair in this way a lot recently. Yesterday I picked up this pretty headband from Primark for £3. I thought it would look so cute if it was delicately placed in with my halo braid hairstyle. The results can be seen in the photos above. I think it looks lovely; what do you guys think?</div>

Hello all! I am so sorry that I have not written in a long, long time. It has been a chaotic, but nevertheless amazing, term at uni. I've been so busy with assignments, placement and my hockey team that I've not had much time for myself. Over the Christmas holidays I've become a bit of a recluse haha; I'd rather sit in my room and become immersed in a book than see other human beings. Anti-social I know, but I've spent the last term organising so many social events that I think I'm getting a social overload hah (any friends reading this, I still love you, I'm just becoming a bit of a crazy cat woman)! So it has been nice to have some time off to myself and actually indulge in some of my hobbies such as blogging!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sounds extremely cliche, but this Christmas all I have been wearing is glitter or sequins! I think I was a magpie in a past life or something because if I walk past a shop and see a sparkly item, five minutes later I'm at the till buying it. But there is nothing more festive than wearing a gorgeous party dress. I have had a lot of compliments when I have been working this fabulous sequined dress from Ark. The first moment that I saw it my thoughts were 'it looks like glittery mulled wine, I MUST have it'. Evidently, it is my favourite dress of the moment and I wore on Christmas day, proving my adoration for this frock! Luckily, we have had some snow where I live so it was an ample opportunity to take some festive photos. The dress looks superb on the backdrop of shimmering snow!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway I hope you enjoy the photos and I will try to update more often over the Christmas break. In the meantime you can see more fashion and beauty posts on my instagram which is @katiejean48</div>

Hello cherubs! It has been another busy week for me; I'm starting to feel like I'm running on a treadmill that never stops! There's a lot to think about with uni. My dissertation is constantly looming over me, as I imagine it is for most final year students! I'm trying to think of it as 10, thousand words essays. But that still doesn't help when I remind myself of the other 10 assignments I have to complete, wahhh! As well as that I am fully enjoying my sports committee role for Women's Hockey, it is keeping me well occupied! In fact, we have our first joint event with the Athletics team on Thursday, so if you are a Derby University student reading this then please come along to support us!</div>

As you can see on the poster we are also donating 10% of our profits to Alzheimer's Research UK. Alzheimer's is an issue that is very personal to me, and I believe with more support and awareness we can make life easier for those suffering with the disease and support their families. So if you do come along to the event some of the money you use to buy your ticket will be going to an amazing cause!</div>

Anyway on to the fashiony bit: I think you're all going to get sick of me banging on about how much I love tartan and plaid, so I'll just shush this time. However, I love this dress that I recently got from Ark (yes I am predictable). It's still available as part of their Autumn/Winter line so if you're a fan snap it up soon! I'll also add here that students can get 20% off at Ark with Unidays, so it is well worth snapping up this bargain. My fave feature of this dress is that fact it has a smock-like structure, so it looks kinda oversized. This also makes it super comfy! I paired the dress with some chunky sandals and this adorable, dark green bag that I got from Primark for only £8! </div>

Hello darlings! I am sorry it has been awhile again, it's just been so so manic. I can't believe I've only been back at uni for two weeks, it feels more like two decades with the workload I've been managing. I'm feeling very excited and slightly daunted by this academic year. It's my final year before I officially become a teacher and thinking about the future has me a little anxious. I've also got some extra responsibilities this year at uni because I have taken on a committee role for one of the sports teams, so it's all busy, busy, busy!</div>

Anyway, I have begun to slip into Autumn fashion over the last few weeks; cue tartan, plaid, tweed and rich tones and colours. I think my favourite trend of Autumn/Winter are the adorable little squares of tartan and plaid. The cosy, blanket-reminiscent fabric has been seen to be a key piece on the catwalks of Tommy Hilfiger, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs, some of the most uber-cool designers. I actually got this black and white plaid dress from Ark (no surprise) in Spring, showing that this style can be worked throughout the seasons, using the right accessories. As I was going for a look that would transition well from Summer to Autumn, I chose to pair the dress with a denim jacket and jellies (a popular item of the summer) to still maintain some of the Summer fun! I hope you enjoy the pics and let me know what you think!</div>

Hola my amigos! The weekend is over, but I hope everyone had a good break! I have now finished work just in time to jet off to Majorca, and then straight back to uni the following week. I was quite sad to finish work as I will miss the people dearly, but it was an extremely tiring job so I am ready to relax for seven days in the sun!</div>

Despite talking about the sun, this blog post is about winter coats. Recently I have had the same conversation with many girlfriends about how we prefer Winter fashion. Strangely enough the English weather has suddenly decided it's Summer in September and it's too hot to wear coats! I feel like saying 'England, you had your chance to give us a Summer, it's gone now so let me wear my Winter clothes'! I love everything about Autumn/Winter fashion; the coats, the wooly jumpers, layers, tartan, hats, scarves! Thinking about it gets me excited which is rather sad haha. Anyway, the main trend I have picked up from my high street inspections is that oversized coats are the business this season! Great! Cause I love oversized; it means there's more room to layer clothes underneath! I picked two coats from the high street over the last few weeks and I completed adore both of them! One was very, very expensive and the other was a BARGAIN! I wonder if you can guess which is which from the pictures cause I think they both look high quality. I shall reveal how much they were and where from at the end. </div>

So drum roll please! And the more expensive coat was the tweed number from River Island at a bank-busting £80 (well it certainly left me skint for a week). The gorgeous frosted-pink coat is from Primark for £25!! </div>

Bonjour darlings! I hope everyone's week has gone perfectly and we are all looking forward to an exciting weekend. I know mine is going to be very busy as it is the charity Shwap tomorrow, raising money for Karma Nirvana! If you are in the area, please please please come and see us even if it is to raise your awareness of the chairty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway I just had to share this diamond of a dress with you today. About a week ago I saw a picture of one of my close friends wearing this dress and I fell in love! For so long I have wanted a classy white dress and this one was exactly what I had imagined, but I had no idea where my friend had got it from. But fate prevailed my friends! A few hours later I decided to do my usual weekly browse on Boohoo.com and what do you know? I found the dress! For a crazy £18.00, which I think is an absolute bargain for a dress that looks and feels expensive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So on Tuesday the postman dropped off the eagerly awaited dress, and I have to say I love it even more in the flesh than on the website! The fabric is really clingy, but also firm so you feel very 'secure' and confident in the dress. Also it is extremely flattering; the peplum detail does wonders at concealing your stomach and hips, which, if these are problem areas for you, is an added bonus. And I feel that the deep neckline helps to accentuate the bust, giving a sexy, hourglass figure. I can't rave enough about this dress so I'll just let you get on with looking at the pictures!</div>

Also I have had my first go at filming a vlog, please check it out! I thought it would be a good idea as the pictures can give you some ideas about an item of clothing, however, you also need to be able to see how the fabric moves and what it looks like to walk around in. Let me know what you think and I apologise if it is slight amateurish! </div>

Hello all! Sorry it's been a while (again) but I have been working my little feet off. At work we have chosen to work with a charity called Karma Nirvana, a cause that supports those suffering from forced marriages and honour-based abuse. It is an amazing organisation that helps women and men across the country gain some solace through their hotline, or even manage to escape from the pain by providing them with refuge. It started in Derby (which is relatively local for me) and founded by a woman called Jasvinder Sanghera, who was disowned by her own family when she was only 16 for refusing to marry a man she'd never met. Although forced marriage was made illegal in June this year, this is an issue that is relatively unknown and faces apprehension because of the cultural connotations. However, abuse is not acceptable in anyone's culture so why should we accept the unacceptable? Women and men have died over this so please visit the <a href="http://www.karmanirvana.org.uk/">website</a> and find out how you can help!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To fundraise for the charity there will be a swap-shop or a 'Shwap' taking place this saturday (6th of September - see poster below). Basically this involves clearing out your wardrobe and bringing along your unwanted clothes so that you can exchange them for new clothes! Great idea huh? There will also be a pop-up salon inside the venue, a cake stall and a tombola! Please come along and show your support if you are local, it is going to an amazing cause!</div>

Anyway I managed to get a few photos taken last weekend; if you are a regular reader of my blog you will know my love of kimonos! This super-cute daisy find is from Ark (of course), and I think although it is still very summery and floral, it will take me nicely into the transition to Autumn as it has warm, coppery tones. As I am going away to Majorca next week I paired it with some acid-bleached shorts and a kitschy crop top. I can imagine this outfit working well for evening strolls on the beach. Yet, I have also worn this kimono with a cami top and leggings which makes for a smart daytime look! The kimono is still for sale at £19.99 in Ark so if you fancy it nip in and snap it up before it sells out!</div>

Hello cherubs! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week, I have had one of the most amazing weeks of my life, working! Yes working! I know it sounds crazy but the job I have at the moment is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had, it's just a shame it isn't full-time. So as you can imagine I have had another busy 7 days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These photos were taken quite a while ago, when I was still thinking about what types of outfits to take on holiday, but I just haven't had the chance to post them until now. Nevertheless, I am still yet to go on holiday to Majorca in September, so I have still got beach clothes on the brain. This dress that I got from Next is perfect for the beach or pool; you can literally throw in on over your bikini and it looks super chic. It's also really soft which makes for comfortable days, especially when your in boiling temperatures it is needed! The dress has really delicate, beautiful embroidery and a cute bow detail at the back. </div>

It's an item which would also look hot for night time as well. Great for light-packing on holiday as it is versatile. For a night out in an exotic bar I would wear this dress with chunky, cut-out heels and a embellished, over-the-shoulder bag!</div>

Hello guysss! Sorry it has been a few weeks, its be extremely busy down my end as per usual! Just over two weeks ago I got back from my holiday in Portugal, during which we visited Lisbon (the capital) and Lagos. Both cities were equally as beautiful but for very different reasons.</div>

Lisbon was typical of your classic European city; winding, cobbled streets leading up to historic castles; spacious, lively squares with intricately detailed monuments in their centre; and delicious aromas flooding out of hundreds of restaurants and shops that you passed by. I really enjoyed the time my family and I spent in Lisbon, however, I do feel that it has not matched up to my love of Rome or Paris as a major European city.</div>

The second half of our holiday was spent in Lagos, which is a more beach holiday for English tourists kinda place. Nevertheless, I thought it was an absolutely gorgeous setting. My main concern is whenever we visit a holiday resort is that it's going to be a tad 'chavvy' and not very authentic. This place threw in a pinch of cheesiness (street performers and cheap bars) whilst still maintaining it's true Portuguese roots. My favorite part of Lagos is the serene coves that border the coastline. One of the best parts of the holiday was when my brother and I took a tranquil (well almost tranquil, apart from the boat driver who kept trying to talk to us in Portuguese, which we did not understand) boat ride in and around the coves. Unfortunately I did not take my camera on the boat for fear of getting it wet (it was quite choppy out at sea) so I do not have any photos, but if you check them out on Google they are amazing. </div>

Lagos also had a really decent night life! There were plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs to choose from, with something for groups, couples or families. I would love to visit it again on a girls holiday as it wasn't too intense like somewhere such as Magaluf but was buzzing enough to keep you entertained. So Lisbon and Lagos definitely fall under my places of recommendation to visit.</div>
