I've been trying to write this goddamn post for ages and it's just not flowing. I pretend I know how to do fashion blogging but there's fuck-all I can say about clothes.

I've needed to add some things to my wardrobe, I'm the kind of person who likes to cut down on things I don't need but then never replace it, so I needed (really badly) to thicken things out, so I raided ASOS and a couple of other high street shops that I can't link to. I feel like I'm finally getting there with my wardrobe because for ages I was so bored and uninterested with it.


Black Jumper - ASOS

I've been trying to thicken out my wardrobe and even though black wasn't necessarily the best colour to choose from I really like this jumper, it's super soft and the wool isn't at all scratchy, plus it's elasticated on the sleeves so when I push them up they don't slip back down.

Red New Look Playsuit - ASOS

Don't ask me why, I just decided all of a sudden that I needed a playsuit in my life. I can just imagine flouncing around with a pair of Vans Old Skool. Lush. I also like that this one is very much day to night type playsuit? I really love clothes that are more multifunctional and that I can transfer by changing various things in the outfit.



Plain White T-Shirt - ASOS

Like the black jumper, this is purely to supplement the lack of staples in my wardrobe, and I think everyone needs a plain white t-shirt right?

Noisy May Black Denim Shorts - ASOS

Given the fact that my DIYed shorts from last summer were in a fairly pitiful state, I figured I could treat myself to a nice new pair, that hopefully would last the summer this time!


Plain Black New Look Leggings - ASOS

For years, leggings were the bane of my life. I would shudder at the thought of wearing any, but I borrowed some of my Mum's and I now understand what I've been missing so obviously I needed to buy a pair.



Daisy Street Grunge Boyfriend Shirt - ASOS

This was one of those things you throw into your basket and try not to look too hard. I must say that the colours aren't what I'd usually wear but the change is refreshing.


Vans Old Skool

I've been lusting over a pair of Vans Old Skool since my boyfriend got a pair, and my Mum surprised me with a pair for my birthday (I was very chuffed with them). I really love these because they go with pretty much everything and they can add a casual side to most outfits (also plan on trying to style them up, would you guys like a post like that?).

What have you guys been buying recently?

Hey all, how's you?

Two posts in one week? You lucky things!

This post is the first of a couple of posts that I will be writing in collaboration with Rosegal.com. Rosegal is a site that not only does clothes, but also accessories, shoes, bags, beauty products, wigs and homeware, so I decided to do a little wishlist, and then I'll be doing a review once I receive the items.

Hey all, how's you?

I was looking for a new handbag online and a realisation hit me rather hard because I'd never thought of it before, but once I had I felt stupid not to have realised it before. Fashion scares the shit out of me.


I don't like shopping. I never have; whenever I walk into a shop I feel obliged to spend money on something if not I feel bad and if I ever do leave a shop empty-handed I feel like everyone's judging me, especially if I had asked for one of the shop assistant's help. You see, I'm very difficult when it comes to shopping. I have a very specific taste that is rather difficult to cater for, especially in rural France. Even more so now as I'm trying to change my style because I really don't like the clothes I'm wearing and I'm trying to encourage myself to wear some more unusual pieces, rather than what everyone else is wearing.

Like I said, I've always hated going shopping - the mere idea of it struck fear into my heart because I knew it would mean an afternoon-long expedition to try and find just a couple of pieces that I liked, and even then it was never a 100% guarantee I'd ever even wear it.

Fashion scares me, quite simply because I don't understand it. I remember many a time standing wide-eyed, lost like a deer in the headlights, in the middle of Primark, not really sure what I was supposed to be doing or why I was even there in the first place. I don't know how to put an outfit together, I don't really even like most of the trends, I barely even know my own size, and don't even bother telling me to ask a shop assistant for help, I'd probably lose her within the first sentence what with my incessant nervous babbling (thanks for that, social anxiety, you're a love). Add to all that that I don't really know what I want.

It also annoys me a bit when I get odd looks off people. Like when I walk straight to the men's section of a shop and try stuff I like on. Yes, sometimes I prefer to wear men's clothes rather than women's clothes because men's clothes look better on me than women's clothes do. Yet if I walked into a Primark and started perousing the men's section, and then proceeded to try some things on, I'd get some very odd looks from both shoppers and shop assistants, but that's a whole different subject that I'll be talking about soon enough.

Am I the only one who feels intimidated by fashion?
