The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Blouse - charity shop/ Trousers - Zara/ Brogues - Topshop/ Jacket - Vintage/ Bag -Spain

SINCE LAST SUNDAY I AM NOW SIXTEEN!! So crazy, I still can't believe it myself! I don't feel older at all!'. I spent a lovely day with my family, we went to an italian restaurant where they sang me happy birthday with really thick italian accents and it was so funny and lovely. My sister and my mum baked me a chocolate cake too! I am also now the proud co-owner of an ipad (shared with my sister) so I have become addicted to instagram! Which is so bad seeing as I am in the midst of exams - I had six this week! My username is Leah__R is you want to follow me!

Here are some photos of my birthday and the outift I wore. The blouse is from the charity shop where I work and my mum hates it with a passion because its completely the wrong size - size 20! She just doesn't understand vintage. But I like how it's 'oversized' and anyway me and my mum are never on the same wavelength when it comes to clothes! Is that the same for you?

I am also obsessed with The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky! It is utterly amazing. Have any of you read it? When I take a break from revising for my exams I sit down and read it and I swear its impossible to put down! Oh Charlie <3 For now I leave you with this quote..

"It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book."

Open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr Brightside

Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while but I am about to start doing my GCSE exams this week so I'm supposed to be revising 24/7! Especially for science which I am SO scared about as I am not a natural scientist so I have to memorise everything by heart! 

I will probably not be posting for a couple of weeks due to the exams and I will resume as soon as I can to show you some more of my clothes and photography! So stay tuned :) Here are some photos of a velvet, floral dress I bought awhile ago in Republic. It's quite extravagant and bold so I like to pair it with muted accessories to tone it down a bit. I also took some photos of my wonderful friend wearing this dress as part of a project, she is supposed to symbolise a typical teenage girl trying too hard to look older than she actually is which is a big problem nowadays. 

Hope you are all having a great week!

Ways of wearing a print dress...

I bought this dress from New Look in the sale for £7! I don't really like New Look that much if I'm honest but the price and the print of this dress was too good to ignore it. I also love colour coordinating so much as you can probably tell with the whole satchel, ribbon, converse going on! Here are a couple of ways you can style a bodycon print dress...
Hope you are all having a good week!
Look #1 - Casual/Sporty: wear it with a hoodie for a laid back look. I love the colour contrasts of the hoodie and the dress together and add black accessories for an edgier vibe.
Hoodie - H&M

Look #2 - Spring, Vintage-esque look: wear with an oversized denim jacket for an 80's vibe and add matching accessories. A ribbon in the hair gives it more of a spring look too! The converse make it look cute and relaxed.
Denim jacket - Gap
Satchel - Primark
