If your body is the sky, then your freckles are the constellations

Tartan Dress*: c/o Pussycat London // Ray Ban Wayfarers*: c/o Smart Buy Glasses // Belt: Primark, £1 // Shoes: New Look, £18

Winter is well and truly at the doorstep as temperatures have dropped below zero, but a little bit of frost on the ground didn't stop me wearing my latest love that is my tartan dress from Pussycat London. I cannot even begin to explain just how happy I am with this dress. I've been looking for the perfect tartan dress for ages and I am ever so glad I waited because this one is just that! I love the skater dress shape and it's made from a soft, thick fabric that has a fleece-like texture to it that it perfectly cosy for this chilly winter weather! I've also been getting quite a lot of wear from my new Ray Ban Wayfarers that were sent to me by Smart Buy Glasses (full review soon), because although the temperatures may have plummeted the sunshine has still been blazing.

You may have seen these beautiful, beautiful boots all over my Instagram last week. I actually spent my last £18 on them a whole week before payday, but they were highly worth the struggle! New Look were offering a 25% off shoes offer and then I managed to get my 10% student discount off on top of that! I've been looking for a pair of wedges that are comfortable for everyday wear for a while and these are wonderfully comfortable. No regrets of living off of toast and reduced sandwiches for a week because I have these now gracing my tootsies!

I'm visiting my home in Essex for a couple of days after work tomorrow, which I am highly excited about! I've been feeling a little homesick over the past few weeks so although my visit will be short I'm going to enjoy the home-cooked meals, seeing my mum and cuddles with my pups! I'm also going to the Alexisonfire Farewell tour in Brixton on Sunday night. I was genuinely heartbroken when they announced their split, so I'm thankful I managed to get my paws on a ticket for one final time to see them live. I cannot wait to relive my 14 year old self! Is anyone else going?

  6. Perfect as always! This dress is tooooo pretty, tartan ftw. I've been after a tartan skirt for ages but they are either too big, too small, too bubble-shaped or the wrong kind of tartan. If only my head were a skirt-making factory.
    Enjoy home time :)

  16. I still wear shorts when the weather gets cold, until my knees start to freeze anything is acceptable for a garment you love! Similar to the way I'd wear my hair if I had yours; so, so adorable.
