Little April Showers

We are well and truly into the month of April now, and it's definitely living up to it's name with all the April Showers we've been having here in Cornwall. So i'm a pretty lucky girl to be able to call this Liberty Print Barbour jacket my own, being another birthday present from my mum and dad. In exactly a weeks time, i'll be turning 21! Pretty scary, huh? This Barbour beauty is perfect for the rainy month of April, protecting me from the Cornish sideways rain and bitter winds, and it's got such a pretty Liberty floral lining, what more could you possibly want? 
This outfit is quickly becoming my go-to outfit of late, well, if you don't class my polka dot pyjamas that is. Spending the majority of my time at my desk working on my Dissertation leaves me little time to  think about what to be wearing, but even just chucking on this jacket and hat makes me feel like i've made a little bit more of an effort! I haven't blogged an outfit with these jeans before, but I have to say, these AA Easy Jeans have converted me, and I cannot stop wearing them; they fit perfectly, and I love how high-waisted they are. The only problem is the price, so I think I'll just stick to the one pair. Another reason why I love this outfit so much is the t-shirt, I don't have too many t-shirts, tending to stick to shirts and blouses, but this is perfect for one of those days when you want to be a little bit more cozy. I bought it at the Black Keys concert back in December, and I haven't really taken it off since, ha! 
I'm trying to post a little bit more, with every new post making me realise just how much I enjoy posting, but i'm still a little unsure. I have a few more photo's in my recent posts, are you nosy like me, or is it a bit too much, and are they a little bit too big? 
Right, back to the Dissertation, have a lovely Sunday!

Scottish Tweed & Satchel

If ever there was a piece of clothing made that was so perfect for me, it would have to be this amazing tweed number. After falling pretty heavily for the pinafore trend just like so many others, seeing this on the Topshop website was, quite frankly, a dream come true. Firstly, it's tweed, need I say more? So it's a little bit different to the abundance of pinny's in shops at the moment. Secondly, the trousers! I have a bit of a self-confessed addiction to high-waistedness, it's been about 3 years since i've embraced clothes on the natural waist, ha, so these are perfect! Thirdly, is it weird that I like looking a bit masculine sometimes? I feel a bit like a WW2 land girl, a look i've always adored since learning about during history lessons at school. Anyway, it sort of weighs up the silly girly outfits I wear the rest of the time!

After spending the morning in my pyjamas, attempting to work at my dissertation with an abundance of tissues and cold&flu tablets around me, the late afternoon was spent with an impromptu visit to town with Sheri for a much needed catchup and some pasta! Having had an amazing, much-needed-week with my family in Scotland, filled with Easter celebrations, seaside walks and relaxing, it's not so nice being back in Falmouth gearing up to these last few weeks before the dreaded Dissertation deadline. But you know what, come 13th May at 11am, I will be free from education, forever, and I can't wait. 

I celebrated my 21st birthday in Scotland with my family as i'll be back at Uni come the 21st of April, and look what I was treated to! The most perfect bag in the form of a Cambridge Satchel Co. with my initials embossed. Can you guess what my middle name is?! I also received an amazing camera lens, which I used for these pictures. I'm so pleased with how they've turned out, they look a million times better than before! So thank you mum & dad!
