Hey new followers :)

Just noticed a bunch of you lovelies started following my blog on here, unfortunately I don't write on it much anymore! Partly because I find Blogger's interface really annoying and hard to use, and partly because I'm studying Fashion at university right now which takes up a LOT of time and effort!

Anyway, I have a Tumblr - who doesn't, right? - so follow me if you love gorgeous inspiration pictures of fashion, tattoos, cuteness and beautiful things!

Love Becky! xxxxxxx

I ♥ Nikes!

 My awesome new shoes.

Love:

• The colour! Luminous yellow and turquoise and silver are the way to go.
• The comfort! I've been wearing them non-stop the last few weeks, since it's wayy too hot for boots, and flats are killer to walk/run around in, especially if you find yourself involved in an impromptu game of Duck Duck Goose.
• The price! Originally £60 but I got them on sale for a rather fantastic £25 at the outlet mall in Gloucester Docks. Where they also sell bags of creme eggs for £2 when it's not even Easter. It's an incredible place, I know. 

Can't really pick anything about them I dislike..the only thing is that you need to try a couple pairs on, as the sizing is weird. I'm a UK 8-9 in most shoes, but these are a 7 and they still have plenty of room left. Lovelovelove them, can't find many shoes that are cool and pretty enough for wearing in summer, yet won't mutilate your feet after a few hours wear.

What are your favourite shoes so far this summer?

I've also changed the comments to Disqus, since regular Blogger/Google comments are pretty temperamental in Firefox browsers. Plus you can choose to be alerted by email whenever someone replies to your comments..better than constantly having to check the site, right?

Update! ♥ & a return from the dead.

It is WONDERFUL to be back and posting again! I would send my apologies for the slightly prolonged break, but it has made me realise that all bloggers need some time off from their writing schedule to sort things other things out in their lives, otherwise content would be compromised, which is something I'd really rather not want to happen!

I plan to keep my following posts shorter and non-scheduled, though I'm sure I shall revive them in the near future. I've realised that I need to keep myself and all aspects of my life scrupulously organised and start planning things out so that I can schedule time for writing rather than force myself to hurriedly type a compromised piece.

Here are a few photos from my time away:


Summer!


In Wales somewhere sitting on my car!


Messy hair!


Happy nape piercing


Sad nape piercing. The incorrect curved bar was removed shortly after this since it was causing a very painful buildup of scar tissue on one side. I had it taken out a few weeks ago and my friend Kyle is taking me to get it redone with a silver staple bar (the right kind!)..can't wait to have it back! ♥


And before I go, an outfit post from yesterday:

POF: Lovely warm weather and a party night in with amazing films!
Necklace: Tarina Tarantino
Top: Primark!
Belt: No idea
Shorts: Topshop
Tights: Primark

I have some INCREDIBLE new luminous Nike hi-tops I wore with this..pictures to come!

Although I've still been following all my favourite blogs..What was YOUR favourite thing about the last few months?

Question Time!

So the other day I got a Formspring account and I'm loving the completely random and hilarious questions I've already had from friends.

So..ask me something!

http://www.formspring.me/superbeckyy

Ask anonymously or leave your name, ask about fashion and style, about me or just about anything else you can think of..bonus points if it makes me smile!

Any particularly interesting and relevant ones I'll post here :)

Regular posts are still rather intermittent but I shall be sure to keep updating as regularly as I can at the moment!

What I bought yesterday:


New gig bag from River Island

David & Goliath t-shirt from TK Maxx..I can't resist an awesome t-shirt


Dress from TK Maxx

The sequinned epaulettes pretty much made it for me

Still haven't got round to playing it, but I can't wait! Saving it for an extra-boring day.

What I Wore Today: 07/04/10

Hello, Sunshine.

Even though I'm not so much into the whole springtime and beauty of nature thing, today was BEAUTIFUL. I snapped a super-quick picture of what I was wearing before I left (check out my divinely retro sleeping bag in the background):

Relax, I'm still alive! I'm sad to not be updating this blog quite as much as I should at the moment due to various things going on in my life at the moment - it happens, right? I'm going to keep updating whenever I can, just that regular features might be delayed for a bit as I don't get to be online and write content quite as much as I'd like to right now. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon enough so I can get writing again and start posting some of my favourite new ideas as soon as possible. Thanks so much for continuing to read and follow my blog through my semi-absence, it really does mean a lot!

TFT #14

Welcome to a brand new Thursday which means a fabulous, brand new edition of TFT! Check out what I've found this week...



Accessorize Mosaic Tile Bangle - £8


Although I'm not a massive fan of the new world prints/tribal redux trends, I can admit that some of the colours around for the coming summer are luscious! Imagine armfuls of colourful bangles like these...

Inspired: March Edition!

Welcome to the brand-new, fabulously fresh edition of Inspired for March! The last month has been pretty hectic for all of us, involving having my memory stick of lovely Eye Candy images stolen for one, so even more reason to be positively inspired by the beautiful, fun and fantastic things in life.

Ideas for March:

1. Pick one thing you've always wanted to do and plan to do it this summer. The regular season for summer break is still a few months away; even so, we should still plan early! Whether you've dreamt of camping out at Reading festival with your best friends, watching the sun set from the top of the Empire State building or meeting your best online buddies face-to-face on the other side of the world, make sure you do it in 2010! Book plane tickets, plan routes, make meeting plans..why not go for it?

2. Pick key pieces for your SS10 wardrobe if you haven't already. The evenings are getting lighter, my rabbit is getting friskier and the amount of ice on my car in the morning is decreasing each day..proper spring weather is nearly here! Last month it seemed ludicrous that SS pieces were appearing in shops already, but by this time next month we won't be needing our super-chunky winter coats anymore. If you're unfamiliar with some of the newest SS10 styles, go out this weekend for a browse around the high street - there's some seriously lovely stuff out there this year!

3. Bake yourself a tray of cupcakes to last the rest of the week. Forget picking up a slab of Dairy Milk every time you need a break..make your own beautiful customised cupcakes! I'm a huge fan of cupcakery myself - my favourites ones are the shamelessly indulgent Rocky Road and the luxurious red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum. Hand them out to friends, take them to work/school..they really do make life more fun!

4. Take a half hour to browse your nearest bookstore. I'm always looking for brand new books to read..I get through them too quickly! The biggest problem is finding new authors which genuinely interest me. You've probably heard it before, but reading helps us to relax as well as unconsciously expanding our vocabulary and levels of literacy..so no excuses really! Take some time out to wander around a bookstore and pick up anything which catches your eye.

5. Clean out your makeup bag. Especially if you're the kind of person who changes their makeup every season. Refresh your look and get rid of anything which is expired. Here's a guide to how long you should keep each type of product - eye infections are not fun!

6. If you don't know how to use a sewing machine, learn! Since I went to private school for most of my life I never learned how to sew by hand, let alone how to use a machine. It's the most useful skill ever, seriously! You can fix ripped seams, customise plain items and resize baggy tees. Get a friend to teach you, or take a class in it - there's plenty around if you look online and I guarantee that everyone there is really friendly. Do it!

7. Don't hesitate to call up an old friend, even if you haven't talked to them in years. Chances are they'll be ecstatic to hear from you, so go for it! Talk about what you've been up to, giggle about the past and make plans to meet up this summer. I'm ridiculously excited to meet up with some friends I haven't seen in ages..I heard they got taller!

8. Sort through your SS09 wardrobe pieces. Even though I've mentioned buying brand new clothes for summer, your old ones should still be perfect to wear again this year if you've been shopping wisely. Air and wash your favourite summery tops and skirts, and don't forget to organise your winter scarves, jumpers and coats for when you won't need them.
