My 25th Birthday + Update

Green Printed Dress - Primark

Nude Studded Heels - New Look

-------------------------------------

So it was my 25th birthday on Friday (July 5th). I can't believe I am twenty-five! Especially when thinking back to when I started this blog I was 19. My first post was posted the week before my 20th birthday in 2014.

My last three posts on here are posts I made for one of my final modules at university. This module was very social media focused and one assignment was to create a blog and 2-3 posts. I intended to delete them once I completed the module but decided against that as they are a nice reminder of university and I did get a pretty good grade for them! 

I haven't posted on here - apart from the last 3 posts - since I began studying at university in October 2016. That took up my sole focus as well as the fact I was working part-time in retail too. I studied towards a bachelors degree in Journalism and Media and as much as it was very difficult 3 years, especially mentally for me, I am incredibly proud of and surprised with myself! The feeling you get once you submit your final assignment is amazing, to say the least!

I am currently still awaiting my final grade but whatever it is, I know I have worked so hard and gave every piece of work my all! Once the grades are released later this month - or at the latest, in August - it is time to start graduation dress shopping. My actual graduation for my university isn't until early November so that gives me plenty of time to shop!

I am currently taking a much-needed break away from working and studying. Although with that said, I am job hunting in the meantime! With university out of the way, It is now time to relax and enjoy the summer sun that London is having right now!

I am intending on getting back to posting regularly on here, no set schedule in place but just as and when. I can't let my experience and study in writing over the past few years go to waste! I love writing, hence my degree choice, so its a no brainer!

Sunday Funday

What a beautiful day! Blue skies and Sunshine. Spring is fast approaching!

Today's post is a style one. I have brought a bit of Spring into my outfit with a splash of pink in my cropped jumper, yes cropped in March! I got my jumper from I Saw It First and I paired it with one of my favourite pieces from the past season - my paperbag waist leather look shorts from ASOS. These shorts have been a staple in my wardrobe since purchasing them back in January and I have styled for daytime - like today's post - and for an evening look with a leopard print shirt and thigh high boots. But for today, I have teamed them with black tights (Primark) and my buckled biker boots (New Look) for a stylish, but practical, everyday look. These boots are actually surprisingly a lot comfier than they look too!

Hope everyone has a fab Sunday!

New Haircut, Stripes & Denim

T-shirt Dress - Forever 21

Canvas Shoes - Primark 

Denim Jacket - Topshop

Long time, no blog but fear not as I'm back today with not just another post but a style one! My first intentions when I created hellomisslauren almost one year ago (one year on the 29th of June I believe?) was to upload mostly style posts with the occassional beauty ones but that was not meant to be as most, or basically all!, my posts have been beauty related. With summer just a stone throw away now, I am hoping to upload outfit posts (or style posts in general) a lot more often! 

I took a trip to my hairdressers yesterday for a hair appointment so these photos were taken when I got home, before I changed into my work uniform for a shift that afternoon, as I love my new hair and also really liked my outfit! I bought this t-shirt dress in the January sales at Forever 21, my canvas shoes are from a recent trip to Primark and my denim is new too and its from everyones fave - Topshop!

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I cannot believe that we are now in 2015! 2014 went by in a flash and now I cannot wait for what this new year has in store. 2014 was such a whirlwind year but I also had some really great moments including meeting The Vamps twice! Me and my sister are huge fans of them so it was amazing to meet them once, let alone twice!

NYE is always the same every year but I love it - we hold a family meet up at our house and just sit and catch up, listen to great music and obviously eat delicious food! My family usually arrive around 8:30 and then end up staying till 2am which was no different last night, Like every year I always buy something new to wear and I usually end up wearing the same outfit on Christmas Day night and NYE and this years outfit was this; a black turtleneck jumper from Primark, a gingham check skirt from New Look, plain black tights from Primark and a statement necklace from New Look. As I am usually at home for New Year, I don't tend to "dress up" - I like to keep it simple but nice!

I don't tend to do many outfit photos as I never feel they turn out great so I took these photos on my new iPad mini and was the photo created by using the picstitch app.

Hope everyone had an amazing NYE and are looking forward to 2015!
