My turn!

I'm officially taking over the blog for the next week (& a few days).

Initial feelings? I'm a bit nervous!

I normally take the pictures, and Ambreen does the writing, the quotes etc. so I'm slightly out of my comfort zone, but hopefully I'll settle into it over the next week.

We timed the "take over" weeks perfectly so that I could start just before my Architecture trip to Berlin, from where (hopefully if I get easy access to internet) will be writing a daily journal of my trip. Exciting?!

On a more fashion related note, I woke up this morning to a grey sky, which is nothing unusual when living in Manchester, but decided to brighten things up with this 'leftover' pastel toned top from summer.

My brother has unwillingly agreed to take my pictures for the next few posts before I leave, and I have to give him credit! They turned out to be a lot better than I expected.

Adventures always come to the adventurous

'Five go to Smuggler's Top' - Enid Blyton

                           

Bag - Dorothy Perkins

Watch - Michael Kors

Hope you all had a great weekend! Here are a few pictures of my favourite things of this week. 

Starting from the top left, this is a purse/bag I picked up in Dorothy Perkins a few weeks ago. It's a gorgeous colour, and I'm just waiting for an opportunity to use it! I refuse to take it to uni, because my books will never fit in there, ever. 

Next, the polka dot socks. I absolutely adore polka dots, and they came in a pack of four from h&m. Sadly, there were only two polka dot pairs, the other two were plain. 

I also picked up two hats while I was buying the socks. Now I've never worn these kind of hats before, I was always too scared to wear them and I thought they made my head look weird. Haha, anyway I tried them on and my cousin insisted I should get them. I picked the black one straight away, and then decided to throw caution to the wind and got the green one aswell. How adventurous of me! Joke! If you follow me on instagram (ambreengharshia) you'll see me wearing them. 

My vogue came on Saturday, and I still have not had time to look at it. Epic fail. I know. 

My Mum brought Lana Del Ray's album, because she knows how obsessed I am with her! Especially the video for her song Carmen. You should check it out! It's really artistic.  

The necklace and the watch were both presents. I am so in love with this watch which my Dad bought me a couple of months ago. I first wanted the pure rose gold one, but when I saw this, I was like I need it!

The blouse is something my Mum picked up for me a couple of months ago, and it's just so brilliant and quirky. Last but not least, are the two books I picked up in Oxfam last week. I love old books, because they look so pretty and in my opinion look more appealing then the shiny covered books for sale these days. They're also Enid Blyton books, and since I've always loved her books. Not buying these was out of the question!

These are just some photographs from earlier today when we were in town, in the Northern Quarter to be exact. Irsa needed to get photographs for her Architecture project, and I went along to help her. She'll do a post on that in a week or two.

 We finally managed to get some pictures of us together. Win! Irsa's brother took them, so yeah thanks 

to him! Hope your all doing well and enjoying your weekend wherever you are in the world.

A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men

'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator' - Roald Dahl 

Dress & Shoes - h&m

This is a super quick post, compiled of some pictures that I took earlier of a few of the presents I got Irsa. I couldn't photograph them all because of the way they were wrapped! Please also excuse the mess in my room, and the rubbish attempt at outfit photographs. I promise they will get better! It's just to give you some idea of what I was wearing. My dress is from h&m and is in a sixties shift style with an awesome houndstooth print. I'll post again tomorrow, with better pictures, hopefully. Hope your all doing well!

Happy Birthday Irsa !

Happy 19th Birthday to Irsa, my best friend, my greatest ally. She's beautiful, she's crazy, and she's perfect in her own way! 

Love always,
