I haven't blogged in ages and I apologise sincerely for that! To be honest, I've kind of lost my mojo with blogging; I find taking decent pictures quite a lot of effort because I'm not that photogenic *cries*. 
 Since my last blog post, not much has really happened. I've started revising for my GCSE exams, which I honestly hate to bring up because, at the moment, it's the bain of my very existence. The sad thing is that, right now, I should be revising. I hate exams so much; I can do them in class easily and mocks in the hall are fine, but when it's a REAL exam, my brain just malfunctions and I struggle finding the information I need for the question. Yes, I have exam brain. 

Anyway, I hope this impromptu post is satisfactory. It's now time to induce myself into a past paper coma. 

P.S I'm thinking of posting another thrift haul so if you're interested, please let me know!
P.P.S-please follow me via bloglovin if you're not already! I don't want to risk losing you all x

Hello!

I was contemplating not uploading these outfit pictures because I wasn't entirely sure on the exposure of the pictures. I used a certain setting on my camera to achieve these ultra bright images which made me look slightly ghostly, so I played around with different effects. I'm still not completely sure on the post, but I thought you might appreciate something a little different for a change. 

Anyway, so I'm currently on the school Easter holidays. Being in year 11, my two weeks should really be spent revising for my upcoming GCSE exams, but it hasn't worked out how I'd liked it to...completely. I loathe revising and am never in the right frame-mind to do it; infact, I find exams easier than the revising process, I can never focus! Ahh! I have a 'so what' attitude when it comes to prioritising exams but if it comes to the event that I don't achieve what I hoped, I mourn. Can anyone relate to this...someone?

 
P.S. If you're wondering why my hair is straighter on one side than it is on the other, I have no idea. My hair has always been like that-I hate it!

Vintage and Thrift Haul

Aqua dress-vintage 
Aqua boucle jumper-vintage
3D Applique dress-TkMaxx
Western style blouse-Primark
Peter pan collar dress-eBay 
Jacquard trousers-Topshop
Fur poncho-thrifted
Sheepskin coat-thrifted

So, it seems I've accumulated a fair few new things recently (this isn't even the extent of it-some items just aren't photogenic enough to include). I'm happy with the lack of high-street items in this haul, I've been somewhat avoiding buying items from the generic places and have invested in some unique vintage items instead. I find vintage shopping so much more fufilling because you never know what you're going to find! It was my birthday on the 28th of March (now 16 and feeling very old) and some of the items included here are gifts. Again, I didn't include everything because a) no one's interested in seeing pictures of sweets/cake/small items and b) because it would make the post too photo heavy.

I joined the #fbloggers chat on Twitter a couple of days ago and asked about whether people like haul posts. Many people replied saying that they enjoy them although a select few deemed them a tad 'showy-offy'. The last intention of mine is to brag about the things I've bought and I can reassure you all that I have nothing to boast about anyway (I'm merely a sixteen year old girl who earns money from eBay and relies on little funds to invest in superficial purchases!). Therefore, I hope this post isn't taken the wrong way. Either way, please leave your views on these types of posts in the comments!
