Alyna:

Hey guys, I should probably start by saying sorry for not posting in a while and I promise to post more frequently but the last week has been so busy. I've been revising for my upcoming exams which I am dreading about so wish me good luck. Also it's been my final week of being 16!! I am officially 17... the big one seven and I feel slightly more matured but of course I still have the occasional day where me and Caitlin dance to One Direction in my room with my mini strobe light. Everyone does it. 

I wanted to do something different for my 17th and explore this tiny island of Britain by having a day trip to Bath Spa. Bath is a beautiful city , surrounded  by traditional architectural buildings influenced by the 1900s structure. Me and Katie managed to visit a lot of small, hidden boutiques which I thought were beautiful. We found a vintage shop which was dedicated to designer labels so i was able to touch real Chanel embellished clothing and accessories. Since it was my birthday, I thought I would visit the sweet shop and buy a huge amount of sweets ... big mistake, I had the biggest sugar rush that lasted for an hour before I had my Nandos. Later during the day, we visited this cute coffee shop which had classic furniture through out the shop. The overall day was brilliant, I brought some neon earrings, high waisted skinny jeans, a baby blue satchel and gold chain necklace. To make life that bit better, I received Tom Odell concert tickets from Katie and Jake Bugg tickets from Caitlin. As you can probably guess from photos, Caitlin wasn't with us since she was working so the trip wasn't the same. 

I decided to wear my checkered print trousers to express the monochromatic trend  I wore my black crop top to compliment the contrasted trousers to help illustrate the focal point of the outfit.

 Well, the weather has actually been slowly improving... you can see we're not getting blown away by the wind, but it still is bloody freezing. I am so sick of this cold weather, don't get me wrong I love layering up clothing as gives a overall quirky look to a casual outfit, but I NEED some sun in my life. Going against the monochromatic trend, I thought I would add subtle uses of warm colours in my outfit with my high waisted green flared trousers and maroon fur coat - to compliment each other while wearing my black crop top which revealed a small amount of skin.

Caitlin:

The sun in the mornings actually gives me some motivation to get up, although the piling amount of college work makes me want lay there for ever... ahhh.  As simple as it is, I actually quite like this outfit. The white shirt and black jeans and jacket give a nod to the monochrome trend - and well, I can't have an outfit without some sort of scarf!! I like all the red shades that have come together, the nails, the tartan and my developing obsession with lipstick. The sun was shining in the photos, but I can assure you it was still very, very cold. However, is this an excuse for a new summer wardrobe?!

it's another pure grey morning

 Today was a strange day, the weather was really sunny yet so so cold, as if it couldn’t make it’s mind up. Rather like us, who managed to while away the hours doing pretty much nothing.

Caitlin:

I’m dressed quite contradicting. It highlights my indecisiveness, as I couldn’t decide what was appropriate. The floral and the neon seem all optimistic and spring-like but however, I paired it with very autumnal dark colours of the burgundy blazer with the check scarf.

And, oh yeah, I have leather legs. I have established a rather love/hate relationship with these trousers with as (umm) lovely as they may look, they are a pain to wear, annoying me never-endingly. But you have to suffer for style, sometimes.

Alyna:

Today I decided to go for a retro look with the 70s style flare green trousers - which is usual for me since I live in black skinny jeans, since you can't go wrong with them. But purchasing these new trousers was definitely a good decision! To compliment the hint of green in the outfit, I wore Rimmel 107 from the kate moss collection. The basic crop top from Topshop put a modern twist on the overlook retro look. Continuing with the 70’s theme, I emulated the glamour with fur-collared coat from new look, the fur adding texture and detail  -I don't tend to have many accessories to compliment my outfit but recently I've been obsessing over silver rings as you can probably tell in the photos above.
