Colours and details

As said on the last post, I have no intent whatsoever to wear any pastel colour or fluffy things this spring or summer. It’s black and similar dark colours all the way.

What I do like as an idea, though, is using splashes of colour and detailing  in the accessories, and those I have aplenty.

As a total sideline, I am now facing a week with only £1 on my wallet. Payday looms on the 15th, but before that, thanks to bills bills bills, I am very much skint 9and no, that one pound is not an exaggeration at all, that is all I have). Still, you have to see the positive side – a forced diet of coffee, porridge and crisp bread, pretty much the only three things on my cupboard right now. That’s one way to get into a holiday shape, not eating *eye roll*.

I suppose it will be a good thing to keep myself out of trouble, food-wise, not eating things like chocolate or ready-made meals. And it’s only 9 days after all.

On other news, I have a cold of some sort, I am battling with Uni work and generally wondering about things. Grrr.

So, She’s Back

Hopefully my blog hiatus will now stop. It has been a wild ride, with Uni, work, a friend with cancer, getting registered as a stem cell/bone marrow donor..but with friend now in remission, the worst of the worst is over. Or atleast paused. And hopefully I can now blog to my hearts content (even though I have been Tumblr-ing occasionally), and maybe achieve some of the old-school me with a blog about life and not just fashion and style.

So, spring fashion and style?

I have not looked at the spring fashions that much, truth be told, probably because I have been busy wondering about my own ideas and own style. The truth is, even with the sunshine and lightness, I am a lady who wears black. Quite odd since I am definitely not a goth by nature, but nevertheless, I like my darkness and my structures.

OK, the sleeves on my jacket might be 3/4 lenght, and the material cotton, but I am not a floral person, or one who does pastel shades.

Spring, for me, is trousers, t-shirts, coats thrown on top. Maybe casual trainers or ballerinas, a pony tail and shades, light pink lipstick adding a touch of fluffiness.

I am not a huge believer in getting tanned probably because over the years I have seemed to have developed a slight sensitivity to the sun. So I shall remain pale and interesting, I suppose. Too bad I’m not a Twilight fan!

But now, life is so much more than fashion. Life is about studying and PhD application things… and more about those later!
