Spring Fashion, Nina (New Look) style!

This post is actually going to be a bit different compared to what I've been doing up till now, as for once I'm actually going to go all fashion blogger on you all and talk clothes. Anybody who knows me can tell you I adore New Look as a brand, they are by far my shop of choice when I want to do a bit of clothes shopping, but I must say this years Spring collection has really outdone itself, I'm loving all the floral prints and crochet, it has a real vintage-style ever so slightly hippy chic vibe about it that I love so much, so I thought I'd share with you all some of what I've got so far, as well as things I fully intend to go back and buy

 Strapless floral maxi dress - £22.99

I actually came across this quite by accident, I went in looking for some shorts and happened upon this little beauty. Usually I can't work a maxi, being only 5ft 3, but this one is just the right size, like it was designed for someone my height. Not only that but for curvier sizes such as myself the floral print really   flatters and shows off my curves in all the right places

Cream circle crochet tassle top- £22.99

This top is probably one of my best investments this season so far, it's fairly versatile in that it can be worn with jeans or shorts, and it manages to be loose without looking baggy, it sits on my frame perfectly. The tassles at the bottom and on the sleeves give it a gypsy vibe that I just find enchanting, and it really shows crochet isn't just reserved for placemats and cushions!

Black floral belted skater skirt- £12.99

What I love about this skirt is not just the spring/summery vibe it gives off but the fact that it is such a versatile and essential piece in my wardrobe. It can be dressed up for a night out or down for a day out shopping and drinking coffee, and I've found it looks lovely whether you're wearing heels or flats. The belt around the waist gives the illusion of making the wearer look slimmer, and overall I prefer to wear this with an all black or plain colour ensemble to let the skirt do the talking.

Wide Fit cream crochet low wedge peeptoe shoes-  £17.99

These have swiftly become my must have item of the season, increasingly I find myself spending more and more time in these shoes, the crochet detail is a bit different compared to other shoes out there making them stand out. Incredibly comfy yet stylish, while the slight heel is brilliant for those of us small people who want a bit more height and to still be able to walk properly in them. Out of everything I've got so far I would recommend these to anyone reading this as an absolute staple for your spring/summer wardrobe this year! 

Illness and Instragram

No, the 2 are in no way related, but they both begin with "I" so I thought why not put them in the same post. My time here at home is fast coming to an end, tomorrow I pack up my things and head on back to Birmingham, which I'm kinda dreading but that's another post entirely. As a special treat, for my last week home I have been ill with the most awful cold, it was so bad I lost my voice at work and had people there in stitches with my inability to talk, thanks a lot guys much appreciated. Just to prove how ill I was, my mum bought take out pizza one night... I wasn't even hungry when I looked at it. I know, I'm shocked too. However, while lying on my sickbed I found a new way to pass the time was to finally cave and sign up for Instagram, and oh wow it's only been 2 days and I already love it so much! My mum isn't too impressed, apparently i've found one more way to become too attached to my phone, but I argue I have photos that need sharing with the world. But yeah, do follow me on Instagram at tiggerlily2305 . The more the merrier right?

The Lion King (SPOILERS*)

*Obviously most people have seen this, but for those of you that havn't and want to, look away now and go do it.

Anybody who knows me well knows that The Lion King is by far my favourite childhood film, and to this day probably my favourite film of all time, so it will be no surprise to those people to hear this was my movie of choice to watch on a Friday night holed up in my room with my trusty Nutella while hearing people around me hitting the clubs. If there are some reading this who have never watched it, what have you been doing with your lives, go watch it right now... but finish reading this first. What I love about this movie is not only is so cute and unbelievably adorable, but I can watch it over and over again and I will never get bored of it. Each time I watch it tissues must be to hand as I always cry when Mufasa dies and I cry even more at the end when it's all happy and sunshiney. And when my friends tell me I'm crazy for loving a Disney movie this much, I smugly point out to them that The Lion King is actually based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which shuts them up immediately. Now, if you'll excuse me I have Lion King 2 and 3 to go watch now, they may not be as good but I bought the special edition Lion King box set (£10 in HMV), so I may as well go and treat myself.
