I've been venturing out of the city centre lately to make the most of my last year in Manchester. It's been really boring visiting the same places over and over again, especially for a foodie like me - there's only so many times I can eat the same cakes and not get tired of them, no matter how good they taste.

I wore this cute combo on one such adventure to Withington (I'd never been there before, so I'm entitled to call it an adventure!), and funnily enough, my checkered dress matched the tabletop of our table at And The Dish Ran Away With the Spoon! :x They served up some really awesome scones, cake and brownie, and I'm secretly pleased my dress was loose-fitting - I had a food baby after all those treats!

Does anyone have any suggestions on places to visit here in Manchester? I'm thinking Heaton Park next!

OOTD: Tartan Blanket

Hat: H&M | Top: Missguided | Skirt: Miss Selfridge | Boots: ASOS | Necklace: Topshop | Blanket: Primark

Found a new photo spot, i.e. the car park of my apartment building! Many thanks to my resourceful flatmate for the idea (her edgy outfit was perfect for this setting), it's great for the darker tones my wardrobe has recently been seeing, and I had a lot of fun shooting with my new blanket/scarf. 

There has been a lot of hype about the blanket trend, popularised by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a cosy Burberry piece. I'm currently hunting for something in a similar shade of camel, but couldn't resist picking up this statement piece from my local Primark. The maroon and navy shades are so Autumn-ready, with a cute dogtooth print on the reverse - so worth it for only £6!

I do wish that the blanket was more jacket-like, with proper sleeves, but it makes for lovely outerwear or even a throw to snuggle up to at home!

OOTD: Welcome to the Sixties!

Bag: Primark | Top: boohoo | Skirt: Miss Selfridge | Necklace: Forever 21 | Boots: ASOS | Hair Sliides: Wifty UK*

Not sure if I'm in uni to study or to blog, to be honest! I've been having loads of shoots lately and trying out different styles (plus bargain-hunting online and in the local shops) in between classes, and have been having the time of my life.

I took a leaf from Missguided's Carnaby Girl trend for today's look, which is a contemporary take on the sixties' psychedelic prints and mod shapes. I'm not too big on crazy prints and have been dressing in clean colours, but I did opt for the retro high neck and a-line skirt! I added my new Asos boots for that extra bit of height, and to finish off the Twiggy vibe.

I admit I got a bit schoolgirl-y once again with my Primark backpack and cutesy hair slides, courtesy of the ladies at Wifty UK. Isn't the little bird too delicate and adorable? 

Don't forget to quote 'LAURAN10' to get a hefty 10% off your Wifty bill, which is available till mid-October! I've got my eye on this necklace and maybe these collar clips, what do you think?
