My new favourite shop

Since coming to china, I have done a weeny bit of shopping. I made a friend out here and she took us to some of her favourite places out here. And I took her to one that I already knew existed but had never actually ventured out to the dedicated store. And as I stepped in, I fell in love. This shop is Monki.

You’re probably thinking how have you never shopped at Monki and it has always been one of those places in the back of my mind that I’ve wanted to check out but never got around too.

There is a little something for everyone there to playing it safe, keeping it comfy and casual, being a little more daring and denim for days. I picked up some really different pieces for me which I am hoping you will get to see on the blog very soon but this has been one of my go to outfits so far.

On my second trip there, I put this dress down because I wasn’t 100% sure it was my style but I love how cute and preppy this feels. The cut out shoulder detailing adds a little edge, tied in with my very worn Adidas trainers. For me, the dress does all the talking and I kept my accessories to the bare minimum. Plus, china is bloody hot and more accessories make me feel like I am suffocating.

The sizes are really forgiving so caters for all those curvy ladies too. My new favourite store and I hope I will like it as much when I get back to the UK.

The Sunday post : build up to exams, freedom and summer

I seem to be leaving blog posts until the last minute but my weekends seem to be getting more hectic with revision. The worst thing it could get hectic with but it’s okay. Doing it all for uni. I am about go on a drive with my friend shortly but I have to squeeze in this week’s Sunday post for sure.

This week has been very hot. It has drained me and with revision on top of that, I am afraid to count how many 20minute cat naps I have had this week. As revision slowly starts to consume my life more and more for the next two months or so, you gotta plan or do some exciting things to get you through it.

London skyline is actually a dream to look at and although I have this calling to go to America, London is just so beautiful and I want to explore more of it. London isn’t boring, it’s just undiscovered to me.

As another form of procrastination is watching lots of films like Boyhood which was amazing btw. I will just patiently wait for manhood to come out. Louis Theorux and his documentaries never fail to fascinate me and keep me intrigued for an entire hour. And even modern family is just some light hearted comedy to help the time pass and have on in the background for revision. If YouTube is your cup of tea, I have been delving back into my subscription box and feeding this incessant need I had to watch youtubers. ThePersianBabe is actually life. But like I said, revision books must be open at all times ;)

I have been filming a few videos to carry me until potentially august/September time. It seems like so far away now but don’t worry, I have plenty of videos to come your way. Whilst filming, many swatches end up on the back of my hand which I have sometimes left there even when I have been out. But look, my nails are growing. Just in time for the warmer weather and my 6^th form dinner

I think the worst thing of the week but also the funniest was the dentist. I had to get the dreaded filling but its okay because I looked funny for about half a day and anything to help your teeth is a good thing.

Some more exciting things coming up are travelling. I am supposed to be booking my flight to Amsterdam next week and I am beyond excited to see more of the world before I got to uni (fingers crossed). I also finally booked my driving test for in around under a months’ time and I just can’t wait to get my licence and finally legally drive in a car. The anticipation is killing me.

I now leave you with a picture of this weekend’s breakfast. Waffles with and omelette, strawberries and maple syrup. Is your mouth watering yet?

I hope you all have a great week and I’m going to get back to doing all the work I should have done starting this morning. Horary for last minuteness.
