With everything that's been happening recently it hasn't quite sunken in that I've actually finished university for ever and with a first class honours degree, might I add. But today I'm actually graduating and in a few hours when I'm standing on the stage and handed my diploma no doubt it will sink in!

I'm beyond thrilled that my hard work has paid off and I've got the grade I really wanted, sorry to waffle but I'm kinda over the moon!

Anyway I thought I'd share my graduation outfit with you, I treated myself to a new one I and fell in love with this skirt which wasn't what I planned to wear but I had to have it! Let me know what you think.

Roll With It





Dress: Lipsy
Belt: Primark
Shoes: NewLook 
Turquoise Ring: YSL
Gold Bracelet: TopShop

As promised here is another break down of one of my outfits from my Holiday, unfortunately I am now back in rainy Manchester and days of 40 degree heat and lazying by the pool are just a distant memory. However I can't complain to much as I came back to the lovely apartment me and my boyfriend have just moved into. I worked out I've actually spent longer in Spain than I have in this apartment, so I can't wait to get settled in and make it a home! We are still at that hectic stage of organising bills, rates, TV & internet connections so I'm blogging when I can, but if you stick with me as soon as we get wifi internet my posts will be a lot more regular and I've got some really exciting things planned for my little blog!

Anyways enough rambling from me, I'm off to enjoy a night in my apartment with the lovely boyfriend, hope you enjoy my post and check back later on in the week for my outfit post on my Graduation outfit!

It's my birthday and I'll blog if I want to!





As you already know I'm currently sunning myself in Spain, however what you may not know is that while I've been here it's been my birthday and I am now the grand old age of 22! And although I fully intend to dedicate several blog posts when I'm back to my holiday wardrobe and what I wore each night I couldn't resist sharing with you what I wore on my birthday. For those of you who follow me on Instagram (ella_nora in case you wanted to start) will of already seen a sneak peek as well as what I've worn each night (I'm getting into this whole outfit post thing) but heres what I choose to celebrate my birthday in which coincidently fell on the final of the world cup (which my bf tells me Spain won) so it was a very good night out.

Hitch a Ride







Jumper: BraveSoul Jeans: French Connection Boots: TopShop Bag: Zara
Necklace: Miss Selfridge Watch: Micheal Kors Ring: YSL 

I received this jumper a few weeks ago from the lovely team at BraveSoul right around the time it was the heat wave and then with moving house I hadn't had time to do an outfit post around it. Basically I fell in love with it at the collection launch, which you can read about here and had to have it! Its so soft with just the right amount of slouchy to not make me look like I'm hiding a pregnancy bump but enough to keep me all snuggled up. I plan on wearing it belted with a bright coloured midi skirt and also slouchy with a grey maxi skirt, which I'll do a separate post on. But I decided to show you guys how I styled it for a casual day out with the family. I got many compliments on the jumper and I'm tempted to buy it in the other colour as its great for throwing on, especially as that 1 week of sun seemed to be our summer. Make sure you check out the BraveSoul website as they've just gone into sale so there's lots of bargains to be had!
