I took this a few days ago before my new hair colour, but I forgot to post it - so I'll be posting a few from previous days and then i'll be back on track with on-the-day outfit posting <3

Hi everyone! It's sooo super sunny today. I had my hair done yesterday, I've decided to give it a rest from bleaching and although I'm not completely happy with the colour it is at the moment, a dark gold blonde, it's ok for now. I think I'll have a few highlights the next time I see my hairdresser just so it frames my face more. I was going for more of the Victoria's Secret's sort of gold blondes but it's ended up quite one-tone. I think I need more than one sitting. However it was about three different colours, bleached to death and big roots before so major kudos to my amazing hairdresser for sorting that out!!!!!
Here is my look for the day. It's lovely and sunny by the coast today so I'm squinting away here, but I'm really enjoying this blue faux leather skirt from Zara with my gingham bralet at the moment.
Hi everyone! Today myself and my family went to Toucan Wholefoods for lunch. I love this place for one because it's right by the seaside, and secondly I can order anything off the menu and enjoy it without the worry of being brought meat by accident, as it is fully vegetarian!
I may not have mentioned it before, but I have stuck to a vegetarian diet since I was 6 years old.
It was a conscious decision I made because I didn't really like meat in the first place and it wasn't for me.
To go to a café that has interesting and tasty recipes with 100 % natural ingredients was a real gem for me, and even meat eaters would enjoy the quaint atmosphere and delicious food.
I am used to going to restaurants that don't cater enough for vegetarian dietry requirements so it was a refreshing change!

Carrot, Beetroot, Cucumber & Celery juice.
My shake was slightly less sweet than my Mum's melon shake, but it still had enough natural sugars from the carrots for it to be sweet enough as an enjoyable daytime drink. I also found because of its' raw vegetable content it actually filled me up and I didn't want to eat as much as I would usually.
These juices are a great idea to get your 5 a day in one drink and also a cleanse for your body.
One of my favourite Blogger & Vloggers, Beauty Crush, tried the full fruit juice cleanse from FruJu and really enjoyed it, but she did also mention she did get quite hungry on just juice (as you can imagine).
I can certainly see why they are filling and satisfying juices as the texture is fairly thick, but it was nice to balance it with a salad.
I would love to try the full juice cleanse to see how it agreed with my body also!

Vegetable flan, (they have 3 different options of flan and all 3 were lovely! We all had a different one and this one was the mixed veg, there was also one with leeks and ricotta which I tried). It was served with a lovely side salad which had fresh beetroot, cabbage, carrots, celery, watercress, rocket leaves and various other plant-goodness.

Although I was full after this meal, it felt good to have no fried carbs on the side and I felt refreshed! I highly recommend this organic vegetarian café if you are visiting the South Coast!
Stay Foxy!

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying good weather. I just realised I always seem to be in my Sophia sandals, but I love them, and also half of my shoes are still in London. I collected (rescued) a couple of pairs from my sisters balcony in the week but there's only so much a suitcase can hold!
Been working hard on my vintage magazine Jitterbox this week, sorting out the menswear shoot, graphic layouts and had tutorials with my university teachers about the magazines direction and how I want to present it in my final show. I found out I go to Romania for an adventure holiday when my show is unfortunately, but my work will still be on display in London (probably East), and I shall leave details so if you wish to, you can go view it when it's up!
Here is my outfit of the day. We have had some beautiful sunshine at the South Coast today but the weather cracked earlier and my hair got a bit soggy and less quiff-like!
Diamond Boat Neck Top - Freddies of Pinewood
Skirt is H&M (Old)
Sophia Sandals - Rocket Originals
Bamboo Earrings - Bow & Crossbones
Stay Foxy!

I whined to my friends and family for the final months I lived in London for, that it was a money pit (expensive rent, expensive travel, expensive food & drink) and I couldn't wait to move away.
With that being said, I didn't live exactly in the centre. For six months I lived in suburbia on the city outskirts near my university in North London. Forget heading to the local pub or going for a nice jog, I was surrounded by concrete walkways and fast roads which led to the motorway.
I worked in this suburbia land in a huge shopping centre, part-time in a fashion retail shop, selling expensive clothes to rich people.
The feeling of having nothing in a rich land (London) was, without a doubt, challenging. The problem with living in a city is that it makes you want everything, but you can't afford anything.
Standing behind a till selling clothes to successful, rich women, left me feeling frustrated with my own life and empty inside.
I'm a single lady and this outskirts, student lifestyle wasn't helping any romance bloom either.
Guys I dated were already in full-time professions and weirdly this made a divide between us, firstly in how often I could afford to go out and do nice things together in the evening, and secondly when they would have the weekends off, I would be working until 8.30 at night in the shop! By the time I got to them, it would be 9:30pm and I was knackered. How about that for a romance killer?
So my house contract ends early and I feel thrilled to move back to my parents house.
I quit the retail job and prepared myself for commuting once a week into the city for a fashion tutorial at University.
Pre-moving, I was damn excited to move back home and felt sure that it was a good move which would make me a much happier person without the stress of paying high rent and living in an anti-social area.
However, a week into moving away and I already have mixed feelings on moving back to the South Coast.
I love this place for the beaches, the grassy fields and the fresh air. I love the people that make me feel at home in the workplace.
However, I feel the pace of life has completely slowed down, and I'm missing that drive to succeed and the pace of the busy city which I felt pushed me to find my dreams.
So I guess I've figured out already that I truly love and suit the cosmopolitan city lifestyle, and it's only when you're away from it something you feel like you truly miss it.
I don't miss the concrete jungle on the outskirts of London that I called home, but I miss the city centre. I miss the fabric markets, Camden lock and I miss the tube. I miss being able to jump on the tube and visit vintage markets, and I miss being drunk and lost in Soho.
I'll be returning to London on Monday for my lesson.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts on quiet/cosmopolitan lifestyles in the comments below!
Hi guys! Today I'm just working on my magazine, Jitterbox. Sorting out the content and working on getting some clothes in from brands to use in a menswear shoot.
It's pretty grey here today but I'm brightening things up in a pastel set around the house!
