PRETTY IN PINK

In a dramatic change from my usual monochrome, I’ve actually managed to incorporate a teensy bit of colour into my sartorial palette. This dusky pink hue is a blogger favourite at the minute and apparently a big fashion yes,  although realistically I probably chose it because it’s the closest thing to skin colour and perfect for a play-it-safe goth like me. The lace up top is a recent find from the Missguided sale, and the stripy black and white culottes are a pyjama-like dream offered up by good old Dorothy Perkins. As usual, recently I’ve been wearing my Nike Air Force 1’s to the absolute death - they are truly the most comfortable trainers known to man.

As you may have noticed, my hair is a little bit different. Just before my recent graduation I decided to fully embrace my inner old lady - chopping it up and dyeing it an ashy shade of grey (yes I know, future me is going to kick the fuck off when I have to show my kids the graduation pictures). I believe my dad referred to this change in hairstyle as a ‘quarter life crisis,’ although I prefer to see it as a Fashion Conscious Movement. Much more catchy.

Anyway, as I mentioned, I’ve recently graduated University and after the best three years of my life I am armed with a 2:1, more memories than you can shake a stick at and a healthy sense of panic and impending doom. Seriously, the graduate fear is real. Anyone got a manual? 

More soon,

CULOTTES UP?

Hello hello hello. It’s been a while, AGAIN. When will I ever get the hang of regular posting?

Not a lot has gone on in my life since I last posted. I had a lovelyyy trip to Budapest with 30 pals from university in March, and it was wild to say the least. I arrived back in London 5 days later minus a phone charger, plus a very sore head, with a lifetime’s worth of hilarious anecdotes tucked safely inside my rucky. Apart from that, I’ve just been making the most of my LAST EVER TERM at university. How this has come about quite so suddenly I’m really not sure. It is maybe the biggest cliché going, but time really does fly when you’re having fun. I’ve had some of the best days of my life at Newcastle uni, and although I am looking forward to exciting things like a new location, a new job (hire me please) and new adventures, I’m just not quite ready to give up student life. Luckily for me, I’ve still got a 10,000 word dissertation to write. (Sadly you can’t hear me but I’m groaning as I type this.)

As a bit of an essay avoidance technique, I decided to blow my last ever instalment of student loan on a few fancy goods, some of which you see before you now. The jumper was an absolutely fab steal from Missguided and is so light, perfect for summer. The trainers are Nike Air Force 1’s, which I’ve wanted for ages but just not been able to afford. (FYI, these are the boys kids version. Luckily I’m a size 5.5 UK so I can get away with these babies for £20 cheaper.)

Many days from now until the end of May will be spent slaving away in the library, so if you have any good blog posts, youtube videos or basically any form of procrastination you can offer me, feel free to leave links down below or tweet me @saramacauley_ - I’d love to hear from you.
