Monochrome camisole top, River Island; Black skater skirt, Miss Selfridge; Denim jacket, River Island; Scarf print flats, Zara; Handbag, Accessorize.

Even though monochrome is pretty much on its’ way out (and I’m ‘busy’ prepping my wardrobe for a pep of pink), I can’t resist going for the basics, especially this time on a lazy Sunday. My weekends are finally mine again, so I took the brother and sister for a little wander around the shops (my brother to buy a shirt for work… my sister to find work) and get a nice refreshing Costa.

This little spot is right near my old house in my hometown. So many childhood memories of taking my old dolls’ pram for a spin in the vicinity whilst venturing for 5-year-old adventures with my Dad. Ah life. I love visiting my favourite childhood spots and remembering how the simplest of things would make my day. I mean, I literally can’t feed the ducks nowadays without running away when they pace towards me…! Let’s file that under Michelle Problems, eh?

I’m still completely obsessed with this monochrome swing camisole from River Island. The unexpected cream base is so feminine and elegant without actually being ‘girly’, and then the black squares that are perfectly placed makes it work all the time. I wore it untucked, with a staff sample sale skirt (I believe it is now Miss Selfridge!) but literally am dreaming of teaming it with a rose pink A-line skirt and light pink brogues next month.

I broke my beloved Zara handbag last week. After about a year and a half of it faithfully housing Aesthetic proofs, my now defunct laptop and multiple dissertation textbooks in my Uni days, it gave up the ghost and the strap snapped when I got off my train at 8:15am on my commute. Convenient! Thankfully, Kings Cross station always has my back and I hopped into the Accessorize and grabbed the first bag I could see, and I’ve grown to quite like it. What a charmer. I’ll do a full post on the bag if anyone’s interested, but basically, it looks alright, the quality is high street average and there is SO much room inside that the commuter-hoarder in me is excited every morning. £35 from Accessorize pals, and I believe there’s a tan too!

In other news, I’ve finally found my DSLR camera charger so expect more outfit posts again and more ‘normal business’ posts. Also, today is my Dad’s birthday! He’s working all day, but we’re getting him a ridiculous Angry Birds birthday cake and my brother, sister and I have snapped up a wool coat for him. Be back soon with something pretty. x

Instagram post 2195328500792311413_30616375 We had SO much fun at FriendsFest on Thursday. As I've been asked 19385739 times, it wasn't a press event, it's a public thing and we paid for tickets! I think FriendsFestive is in Shoreditch until 21st December and I totally recommend going! PS. Definitely want to paint at least one of my doors purple... 😏 Swipe to see our makeshift Christmas décor, the last in this house before we move... #DaisybutterAtHome
Instagram post 2194268191654680261_30616375 [ A D ☕ ] Hello Sundaze ✨ When the house is emptying but you still gotta get that décor right 😏 Thrilled with my new print additions from @juniqeartshop, they're adding so much warmth to a chilly December, and, to a basically empty bedroom. You can get 30% off orders over £29 until next Sunday using my code MICHELLE30 ☺️ #juniqe #juniqehome

Instagram post 2193084553068073079_30616375 Central Perk vibes 😏✨ Had the best time with my brother and sister at FriendsFest yesterday! We spend all of our time watching the episodes on repeat (like any self-respecting millennial) and it was incredible to see the sets and goof around together for a few hours, dressed like Rachel Green with my Gucci bag (“it's spelled like Gucky, which can be confusing”). Except from when a seven-year-old PUSHED ME OVER by Joey's Barcalounger. Fun fact: I used that copy of Vogue in my dissertation! #FriendsFestive
Instagram post 2192254609316598078_30616375 I finished reading this over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The Flat Share is a chick lit with a twist; I really enjoyed the sub-plots and clever character building throughout, but for some reason didn't adore the book. Beady-eyed readers who also follow me on Goodreads will know I rated it three stars which seems harsh, but simply means I enjoyed the book but wouldn't recommend it to a general audience and I wouldn't reread it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you read this book yet? #DaisybutterReads
Instagram post 2191316238771439516_30616375 “We can go drivin' in, on my scooter... Uh, you know, just riding in London...” 🎶. L O N D O N · G I R L :: Absolutely thrilled to share this masterpiece shot by @sianshoots. The moment I heard @taylorswift 'London Boy', I knew I wanted to capture it all, dressed in my @stellamccartney × Taylor look. I'm not from London and nor do I live there; but some of the best chapters of my life began here. My first writing job, falling in love, spontaneously buying designer bags on Bond Street, cab rides with friends in a drunken mess, food tours with my girls, hours-long walks, all amidst a grey drizzly haze. It all happened, and happens, here. London, you're so special. P.S. I have categorically never watched rugby in a pub with his mates 😂 ph. @sianshoots
