Do you ever get really irritated by certain things? Just little seemingly trivial actions or habits that most people probably don't think twice about, but which set your teeth on edge and make you want to scream under your breath? I've realised lately that a lot of things annoy me no end so I thought I'd do a post about my pet peeves...
I haven't done an instafaves in what seems like ages so I thought it was about time for me to share my current favourite instagram accounts with you once again (you can see part one, two and three here). I've really been loving instagram lately and I find myself being more and more inspired every day by the multitude of posts that pop up there. I love how...
A new academic year is just around the corner and for me that means living in a student house instead of in college (aka halls) and also the extremely exciting opportunity to decorate my new bedroom. I did my best to make my room in college pretty and personal by putting up posters, photos and fairy lights but given that it was so...
While I was browsing the H&M website the other day I was struck by the abundance of pretty pastel pieces adorned with lace and bows and all things delicate and beautiful, and I was inspired to create a little collection of themed 'picks' with the items I found. I tend to wear a lot of dark colours all year round so this isn't...
Welcome to the final part of this excessively large book haul - see parts one and two here. The ones in this grouping were bought either from a secondhand book sale that I happened to come across in a university building near Durham Cathedral, or The Works which is a discount shop that usually has a '3 books for £5' deal on which...
I really enjoy reading old-school tag posts and I haven't done one in absolutely ages so I thought it was about time I answered some interesting and not-so-interesting questions for the benefit of anyone who'd like to find out a bit about me. You'll see that some of these are pretty standard but I've tried to develop my answers a bit so they're...
I feel like I've done quite a few university-related posts lately but I like writing them so here's another one. Although I don't go back to uni until the end of September (and term doesn't start until 10th October, I might add) most of my friends have already started again and it's impossible to avoid the 'back-to-school' supplies in shops - all of...
I've been majorly into playsuits lately so I thought I'd share my picks from a few of my favourite websites for clothes shopping. I love how they constitute a whole outfit so you don't need to bother considering whether your top and bottoms go together, but they're also a lot more practical than dresses because you don't have to worry about them flipping...
This is the next part of what I'm calling the Mega Book Haul, aka 'Sophie went to England and came back with 23 books she really didn't need so she's going to turn it into a few blog posts to feel better about it'. Anyway. If you read my post about my trip to the Yorkshire Dales you'll know I visited several churches...
Somehow it's already September which means cooler days, the return of autumn TV and just over a month left till I go back to university. Summer is drawing to an end so I thought I'd do a quick roundup of the things I've been loving these past few months - I'm sure you know how a favourites post works so let's jump straight...
