An Update (of Sorts)

So I realize it's been quite a while since I last posted anything on here, and I apologize for that. I've been doing my best to get back into the swing of things with school, like actually attending all of my classes and doing a ton of reading, along with going to the gym and having a social life, etc. so it's taken me a while to find a balance with everything. However I have been working on a few ideas for posts, which I think you guys are going to love and I'm really excited to share them with you all very soon!

 

That being said, I've also been thinking lately that I might want to take this blog in a little bit of a different direction. I have lots of fun making posts about clothes and various things like that, but I think it would also be really fun to make more posts about books, or music, or just general happenings. I toyed with the idea of making another blog, but since I'm finding it difficult enough to keep up with this blog and everything else in my life, I think I'm going to combine the two. So be on the lookout for some new kinds of posts!

 

Yep, that's basically it. I just wanted to let you all know that I am not dead, and I am not abandoning this blog, things just got a little busy there for a while. Let me know what kind of posts you would like to see here in the future in the comments below, and I will be updating this blog very shortly!

 

Love,

An Update

This us just a warning to anyone who reads this blog, but I might not be on as much in the coming week - not only has my internet died (I'm using the wifi from the chippy across the street right now) but I'm going to Amsterdam on September 2-4! I am so excited, I can not wait to see that gorgeous city! But in the meantime, I will do my best to queue some posts for you all, but my internet is really spotty.

So basically, this is an apology in advance if there aren't as many posts in the coming week or so. I promise to be back as soon as I can!

Love,

Caro

Clothing Review: Asos Petite Exclusive Baseball Dress with Contrast Metallic Sleeves

Wow that's a long title...

Anyways, I just got this Asos dress in the mail (I was ordering a pair of boots and it was an impulse buy, whoops) and I am so in love with this dress I just had to make a review for it right away! 

Asos Petite Exclusive Baseball Dress with Contrast Metallic Sleeves

I don't think I'll be able to format this into a proper review, because I'm wearing the dress as I write this and oh my lord I don't think I've ever had a dress that's this soft! Honestly, I feel like I'm wearing pajamas, that is how comfy and soft it is. Looking at the pictures online, I was a little wary because a lot of times with cheaper dresses the material on sleeves like these are super scratchy and itchy, but these are not. The sleeves are a little thinner, but the rest of the dress is a nice thickness, were it'll be good for winter with some tights and a coat (and your bra won't show through).

 It fits super well, and it's incredibly flattering too! Generally I shy away from things that are more fitted throughout, like bodycon dresses, but this dress is fitted and loose in all the right places. It's a great length on me too, given that its from the petite section and I'm only 5 feet tall.

Basically, I love this dress. It's probably my favorite thing that I've purchased recently (well, apart from Putt Putt Saves the Zoo).

Let me know what you guys think! Do you shop regularly at Asos? I haven't before, but I might have to start now, especially from their petite section.

Love,

Caro

OOTD: Piano Playing

Today is a rather relaxed day for me - I'm cleaning my room (getting ready for a room tour post!) and then heading up the road to the library to practice some piano. The weather has been unusually nice for Scotland, and I thought I would take advantage of that.

*Please ignore the mess in the background! I'm still unpacking*

Top - Zara

Skirt - Topshop

No links, sorry. I'm pretty sure the skirt is sold out and I couldn't find the top on the website (its super cute though, it has a black and white picture of some mountains and says infinite really small across the top).

Love,

Instead of an August Wishlist...

So this summer I have been buying clothes online like crazy. I usually don't get this many clothes in such a short span of time, but I had a lot of time to kill and I basically spent my days on ebay or looking at sales in Topshop or Zara. (Seriously, you should have seen the pile of packages waiting for me when I got back to Scotland!)

So, in order to not buy as many clothes, I'm making a few changes, one of them being not making a wishlist for this month. When I make lists, I like to cross off as many things as I can, so if I make a wishlist it will just motivate me to shop even more! What I'll be doing instead is allowing myself to buy two or three items of clothing for the entire month. Now, this doesn't include necessary pieces of clothing, like underwear or socks, but anything that I do not need will go toward this total.

But, its only August 8th and I already know what I want to buy! I already bought the Blonde and Blonde Mason Cutout Boots (in yesterdays post), and hopefully today I will be buying a pair of Topshop Physics Boots (its off of eEbay though so anything can happen). For my third and final item this month, there is this gorgeous dress from Urban Outfitters that I am absolutely in love with - the only problem is that it is part of their Urban Renewal collection, which means that each item is unique and therefore the image on the website is not 100% accurate. But, since today is Thursday and all of the shops in City Centre stay open late tonight, my plan is to study and unpack some more during the day and hopefully find this dress and try it on tonight!

And hopefully soon I will find a job so that I can have money coming in (as well as going out).

Love,
