Pointed Courts...

(1) Manolo Blahnik black leather pumps/ (6) Topshop High heels / (7) H&M high heels / (4) Dune ballet high heels / (5) Zara shoes / (3) Nelly Shoes high heels / (2) Zara shoes

If anyone follows me on Pinterest, you will have noticed a lot of the images including pointed court shoes. I've been lusting after a pair for a while now.

Alas! Unfortunately, my budget won't stretch to a pair of Manolo's or a Louboutin Pigalle (yet!).  So I've been hunting for a purse friendly pair to keep me going, so I can recreate the chic looks above.

They're perfect for work and evening, without looking too clumpy or OTT.

I'm so impressed with the prices of the ZARA ones!!!

Firmly added to my wishlist/essential list.

Wardrobe Classics: The Breton Stipe Tee

So I've mentioned that a good Breton Stripe Tee was high on my closet wishlist, so I've finally added one to my wardrobe! 

After much hunting, I purchased one from GAP, there were lots to choose from but this one was super soft and I wanted one that was versatile enough to wear for day and night, plus it will keep me warm this winter. 

Tee - Gap
Jeans - Benetton
Necklace - H&M

Here it is, this is my 'Outfit of the day', I don't have a great camera and I'm not a massive fan of being in-front of the camera but I still wanted to share. 

I also put together some other ways that I plan to wear it with other pieces in my wardrobe...

Tee - Gap
Necklace - H&M
Leather Skirt - H&M

Tee - Gap
Necklace - H&M
Palazzo Pants - Forever 21

The great thing is that this is such a versatile piece, I can wear it with any piece of my current wardrobe and anything from my list of essentials (which I've updated by the way). 

I must also add how amazing these Benetton jeans are by the way!

Graduation

I finally graduated! 

It's a bizarre feeling, to have finished my entire education and starting my chosen career!

Apologies for the poor quality i-phone selfy! Only picture I had of my outfit without my gown.

I wore a French Connection dress / H&M Earrings / YSL Ring / Nude Patent Heels from a store in Manchester 

Bye Bye Manchester... Hello London!

June

Those of you who follow me on Instagram (@bea_circus) and Twitter (@bea_atreides) will have been kept up-to-date with my daily ramblings and my life post-uni.

Today has been a very exciting day for me as I found out my degree classfication... I got a First Class Honours (I think I have only just stopped shaking). I am unbelievably happy and SO relieved that all the hard work and stress paid off!

June has also been my first full month living back in London and also working at my new job (which I am loving), it is so nice to be back where I belong. I have also treated myself to a few cheeky purchases this month...

Wedged Trainers - Boohoo.com

I'm a bit upset as these have got SO dirty SO quickly!

Neon Pink nails & rings from H&M 

Beautiful turquoise shoes - Zara

The Zara shoes have to be my favourite thing that I have bought recently! I have a few other bits left to share but thought I would leave them for an outfit post.


Also, some of you may have noticed the new banner on my sidebar, I was very excited to be asked to join the Handpicked Media Community this month!

Peplum Love

I'm a big fan of peplum's this season and I had to share this one I found whilst shopping in H&M the other day.

I can't decide which one I prefer, love them both! 

Graduation Ball

Last night it was time to bid a fond farewell to my four years as an International Fashion Marketing student at Manchester Metropolitan University. My friends and I all got dressed up and headed to our Graduation Ball at the Hilton Hotel. 

Here are my photo's from the night...

Our Table

Can't believe that I am no longer a student, time to join the real world!!!

Finally...

I definitely had given up on getting the H&M floral blazer (here) BUT it was obviously meant to be as I came across it the other day whilst shopping in Manchester. 

I finally can add it to my wardrobe... LOVE.

I have already taken it out (and froze to death in -3 degrees) to the Manchester Fashion Show yesterday evening.

H&M - Blazer

ASOS - Clutch

Here are some pictures of my friends and I messing about before the show...

Cannot wait til the weather warms out to wear it lots more.

Sporty Shorts

Sportswear inspired clothing seemed to be a big hit on the SS12 runways, check out Alexander Wang.

I'm still unsure if this is a trend for me, but I'm a huge Alexander Wang fan and I'm definitely inspired by aspects of it.

Leather Shorts - Romwe 

Leather Shorts - Romwe

I love these sporty leather shorts from Romwe (I've fallen in love with this website!). They did have a pair in H&M but I don't know if they are still in stock?!

Styled with baggy tees and vests and chunky knitwear, these are perfect for Summer and Winter!

Styling Inspiration:

One of my ultimately favourite blogs Victoria Tornegren. I need her wardrobe, her style is amazing! 

Will you be adopting the sportswear trend?
