From a very young age...

Shirt - Flotique (available here) 

Jacket - Vintage 

Skirt - Republic 

Sneakers - Converse

Okay, so I admit that the jacket isn't really vintage... it's my mum's. But she did buy it in the 90's so technically it is still vintage, but vintage sounds a whole lot cooler than "borrowed from my mum" doesn't it? 

We are beginning to write our personal statements for university applications at school now, which is a very daunting process because 1) I am not good at talking myself up and 2) I don't have any hobbies that a university would really approve of; my free time consists of scrolling Tumblr, watching TV, baking and reading magazines.

I do enjoy writing though, which is why I'm considering an English degree in which I can choose certain modules which include creative writing. The whole reason I began this blog in the first place with my good friend Hannah was to get my voice out there and get some writing practise in, bloggers are always getting featured in Company magazine and I think it's a great place to start.

I hope you're all good, and if you have any tips for applying to university I'd very much like to here them!

F for Florence + The Machine

Florence Welch and the elusive machine burst into our ears in the summer of 2009 with their debut album Lungs, and their second album Ceremonials was released November 2011. They have also done a session at the legendary MTV Unplugged and the album was released in April last year.

I don't pay for much music, but I am proud to say that I own all three of Florence + The Machine's albums on CD, which is really saying something for my love of the band.

Frontwoman Florence Welch has made something of a name for herself in the fashion stakes too - known for her striking red hair, red lips and amazing collection of dresses. Her live performances are also amazing, she gets so consumed by the music and it's truly incredible to watch - I really hope I can see her live when her next album comes out, there's plans for a year out before beginning work on the next album, I hope that by then I will have enough money for a ticket. 

Personally, I think my favourite song is 'No Light, No Light' from their second album Ceremonials.
