To think I might not see those eyes...


Camo jacket & flower/spike headband: TOPSHOP | White tee: ZARA | Skinny pink jeans: ASOS | Shoes: CONVERSE

If a camo jacket can go with a floral headband, a camo jacket can go with anything.  I bought this headband in the Topshop sale the other day.  I don't usually wear them but after seeing this one - with spikes AND flowers, whoda funk it?! - I can officialy say I've been converted.  It's the perfect mix of pretty and fierce and would therefore go with pretty much any outfit, from an LBD to, well, an outfit like this one.  I decided to wear the pink jeans to make the headband look like it wasn't out of place in the outfit.  I teamed it with simple items and without jewellery in order to make sure it was the focus of the look.  The jacket is probably an unlikely choice, what with its army print and all, but I thought 'Why the hell not?' and ended up really liking the two of them together.  An unlikely match, but one which I love.
The more I look at these pictures the more convined I am to get a ridiculously big crown with huge flowers so I could totally rock some kind of Queen-of-the-erm-garden(?) look, but perhaps I'm taking it a little too far.
So I went on a walk today, trying to take advantage of the nice weather etc, and instead I got covered in hundreds of nettle stings plus the bumps on my legs from my, er, grass allergy.  Not a good look, and it was not a goo walk.  DAMN YOU NATURE.  Think I'll just stay inside for, like, ever from now on.
As I said yesterday I'm off to see Batman AGAIN tomorrow, which I'm still looking forward to.  It's going on my top five films ever, that's how good it is.  Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy plus Joseph Gordon-Levitt in one film?  Uh, GO ON THEN.

Minty

SHEER BIRD PRINT BLOUSE: RIVER ISLAND | SPIKE RING: ASOS |
CREAM JUMPER, PASTEL GREEN SKINNY JEANS, JEWELLERY & LEOPARD PRINT SHOES: TOPSHOP


Mint was predicted months and months ago to be one of this season's hottest colours, which it definitely is, so these jeans are actually a few months old (what can I say, I am like, totatally ahead of the times).  I don't wear them very often simply because it is a little tricky to decide which shoes to wear with them, mainly because 95% of my shoe collection are Converse in every colour but white, but I had a little light bulb moment when I remembered that I have these leopard print slippers.  It really bugs me when my outfits are TOO matchy-matchy so rather than wearing a white shoe I actually like how these look with the outfit much more.  I think my silver flatforms would have looked pretty amazing with this outfit, but alas they do not fit, so I have been banned from wearing them again.  I really want to buy them in a size up but ASOS haven't given out a discount code in ages when they used to offer a new one every week.  Typical.  I know if I give in and buy them for full price, though, that the next morning they will send out an email offering something like 50% off.  Well I am so not falling for it, not this time...
I am digging pastels this season so these jeans are perfect for not-so-hot summer days, and their relatively stretchy material makes them a lot comfier than some of the other jeans which I own, b-b-b-bonus.  I really like how they're high-waisted as well so I can tuck a top into them if I wish.  The bird print shirt is something which I bought late last year, I fell in love with the print straight away and is different to any other print which I have seen so I couldn't resist buying, and how glad I am that I didn't!
I have spent the whole day studying for my exam tomorrow morning, and I can safely say I have never been this unprepared for an exam EVER.  Am trying to stop myself from freaking out, but thankfully by this time tomorrow I will never have to do chemistry again!  Then one more exam on Monday morning and that's it!  FREEEE-DOMMMMM.  I miss doing the simple things like reading a book or watching television.  I have so many series waiting for me which I've recorded, I HAVE managed to keep up with Desperate Housewives though, except for the very last episode.  Am saving it for when I'm home alone and curled up with a pile of tissues.  I am such a girl sometimes...
