I have finished my second year of university!!!! It's crazy to think I only have one year left until I graduate and have a degree. But in the mean time the summer holidays are upon us!! (Minus the poor weather) Saying that I did actually get a lovely bit of *colour while in Bristol over the weekend (..sunburn), I love it as I feel all holidayish. While making summer plans and organising holidays I have of course been massively distracted by internet window shopping. 

1. Topshop currently has a gorgeous range of high waisted pastel jeans! I would seriously love to have them all as my wardrobe is constantly adored with all things high waisted and Spring pallets. I never know what to do with low waisted styles *bottom half of my top just chilling about.. what are this?!*

2. Soho styled, metal cuffed heels have persuaded me away from my dislike of strappy heels, although I'm still unsure of the low height of these babies I can't help but dream up cute outfits of the chic and classy variety.  

3. A FREAKING UNICORN ONSIE!!!!!!!!!!

4. While swimwear shopping I find it super difficult to find one with a decent top half, this bikini not only offers a wonderfully vintage, pastel candy feel but also great shape and coverage.

5. Anyone say high waisted? Could I resist, would I even want too?! More covering and flattering than the standard bikini by accentuating the toned upper midriff. Similar to the brightly coloured American Apparel Malibu one piece in tone yet more affordable.  

London! Playing Tourist and Mormon Missionaries

 *Pink text: hyperlinks

While home for Easter I popped to London for the day, Amelia's friend Lena came over from Sweden giving us a lovely opportunity to take her around London's touristy places.  So together with our lovely friend Kashmir we were all set for a great play day. Although my family home is pretty close to the Great City, I've never really gone solely for the tourist aspect. 

From watching the Change of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, to Covent Garden, attempted bike rides, seeing Marc Quinn's blood head in the National Gallery, Egyptian and Greek artefacts at the British Museum, an ice cream lunch at the Leicester Square Haggen-Dasz Cafe, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, the Harry Potter Bridge, watching the Saturday General Conference session at the Hyde Park Chapel (an infographic explaining what is General Conference can be seen here) and a cheeky Nandos at Oxford Circus, we certainly had a fun packed day! It was so lovely to spend time with one another as with our busy lives and my moving to northland for university, it is a rare occurrence. The sun even peaked out to say hello and shine on us as I failed to ride a bike on the busy streets and ended up in the middle of a road and crashing into a small kiosk store :') oops. 

I absolutely love to marvel at the beauty of architecture and throughly enjoyed the serenity inside the British Museum (the cream column and domed glass ceiling photos above), wondering aloud whether heaven would look like this. Of course getting the crowd pleasing answer that heaven will look different to everyone ;) thanks for that Kashmir. I couldn't believe how awe inspiring and simply huge St Paul's Cathedral is. Photos simply do not do it justice. Hiding along the columns and standing in front of the huge doors I felt transported to the temple in Disney's Hercules yet with more splendour and artistic ideology. Luckily I managed to catch the last train home, ending the day with a lovely white hot chocolate. I even spotted a man wearing sunglasses on the tube! Seriously?! We're underground... 

Amelia has just got her mission call to the Australia Sydney North Mission!!!! I'm so ridiculously excited for her and know she'll make a great missionary. What a wonderful area to be assigned too, serving the people and labouring for the Lord for a whole eighteen months. Wish I was going ;). The lucky lady will also get to train at the Provo Missionary Training Centre! She's even started a mission blog which you can check out here. Since the age change last October it's been incredible too see so many of my friends strive for missionary service and get their call. To learn more about our church you can check us out at www.mormon.org.uk where you can chat to missionaries online, watch videos, read about what we believe and why we're such a happy people!

Easter Snow

I simply cannot believe the weather, it seems the world is going topsy turvy. Snow in March!!! The poor daffodils are struggling to bloom and we should be sunbathing and eating lunch out in the garden. Instead it's blankets, heating and lazy days indoors. I'm staying in my family home as it's now the Easter holidays :D, one of my absolutely favourite times of the year. Due to all the wonderful chocolate and of course the actual reason we have Easter. I'm definitely not ashamed to say I've been taking full advantage of my Creme Egg fling and have bought lots of Easter goodies, even indulging in a cross bun loaf which both smelt and tasted frigging delicious! 

Braving the garden to take shots for a university project I thought I'd actually take some outfit and general garden shoots at the same time. A simple, generic everyday outfit both comfortable and easy to throw together. I still love my Ragged Priest jacket I managed to snap up cheaply while shopping in Manchester months ago, perfect for slouching with a touch of tie dye and studs. Currently lusting over their Candy Sweat! Studs and pastel combinations are forever a win. 

We're celebrating Easter on Good Friday as my Dad works away and thus our fun, chocolate eating joy will be blissfully prolonged and throughly had :). I wish you all a lovely Easter season full of chocolate, spring roasts, reflection and love of the atonement. 

Sweet Sixteen

I was given this pink blazer for my sixteenth birthday, which is crazy to think was almost four years ago! Ever since starting university I've brought with me almost all of my clothes, a silly decision really as I have so many. Only recently have I decided to sort through them properly and seperate what I actually wear, what I should wear and those I want to give to my younger sisters or sell (que upcoming blog sale). Of the pieces I want to start wearing again includes this lovely piece. As Spring is settling in and a desire to smarten up my new jersey dress for church I decided to give the plucky coloured piece a whirl once again.  

Life has been super exciting as of late. I've started a lovely marketing internship and have multiple university projects on the go, one of which we're shooting early this week and of course lots of Easter chocolate to consume before the ever looming end of our beloved Easter season for another year. It's strange to think my baby blog will soon be a year old! I hope you've been enjoying our journey together as much as I have and that we'll endeavour further down this road together. 

It you do enjoy my blog it would mean the world to me if you were to nominate my little internet world into the Company Style Blogger Awards whether if be for ‘Best Personal Style Newcomer Blog Award’ or any other category you feel appropriate.
