Happy Tuesday guys!

I'm on half-term this week, which means no school until next monday...I can't physically express just how much I needed the break! I haven't had much time to relax yet though, as I spent the weekend away in Hereford with some friends (which was lovely...nothing beats a good sunday roast and a walk in the country!) and then I had to nip into school on monday morning to continue work on my textiles project, followed by a nice coffee with my god mum. I then had to fit in my orthodontist appointment in between my day of art coursework, and organise seeing my school friends later in the week. I love being busy - it makes you really appreciate those lazy pyjama days I like to have.

I'm heading off to an art exhibition tomorrow (expect outfit posts!) and then Somerset House's Valentino exhibition on thursday, which I am super excited for as not only is it Valentino we're talking about, but London Fashion Week will be taking place in the same venue. You never know, one day I might actually get to attend the shows instead of just watching the video clips online!

I know you know what I mean

Hiya, just thought I'd do a quick mid-week post, apologies for the photos, I know I'm not very photogenic! Anyway, how has your week been? I haven't really done much apart from go to school, which sucks...I'd much rather be out doing something fun. I really don't understand the whole 'school is the best time of your life' phrase, I mean you are forced to spend seven hours a day with people you might not get along with, studying subjects you might not like. I don't see how that's better than getting up late and blogging all day.

I've also got to make a 90's themed skirt for my school's fashion show next week, and I'm going to try and photograph as much of the process as possible so I can show you guys...hopefully it won't fail completely!

Don't forget to check out my lookbook (http://lookbook.nu/ellie_c) and my newest look (http://lookbook.nu/look/4552633-I-know-you-know-what-I-mean) thanks :)

Is it spring yet?

Seriously though, I'm really missing the days when you could just go out in a shirt or thin jumper, without having to pile on a massive coat and thick denims. We've had our bit of fun in the snow, now it's time for spring, I think.

Here I'm wearing my new checked shirt from the thrift sale yesterday, along with my Levi shorts from Rokit, my Underground creepers and my blink-182 top from Grindstore.

I've sorted my camera now (phew) and have taken a bunch of photos today, so I'm all set to keep you guys posted throughout the week :)

here's a link to my latest look on lookbook: http://lookbook.nu/look/4541411-Thrift-Sale

Thrift Sale

Thrift Sales are stressful. However for just £20 you can fill an entire bag with as many clothes as it will fit, so in my opinion it is definitely worth braving all the ugly 80's christmas sweaters and the room full of determined shoppers. I was quite proud of myself actually...since I'm quite small, I could squeeze through all the people and find some quirky little items, which you'll see properly in my upcoming outfit posts :)

I totally recommend keeping up to date with local markets and sales, as this one was really worthwhile, and they can save you quite a bit of money if you're after a little wardrobe update.

Above is a little snapshot of my haul, however I also got an oversized navy checkered blazer but I'm waiting to get it back from the dry cleaners before I can show it to you!
