Girls Who Have Class Don't Need a Glass...

As we're heading of to Edinburgh for Hogmanay this New Year, I thought it would be wise to purchase a hip flask. Where better to go than Urban Outfitters?!!! Check out my cheeky new hip flask... SO TRUE!!

My favourite time of the year.... SALE TIME!! Where have you all been shopping? I was online at midnight to grab my bargain's!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hope everyone is filled with joy and Turkey! I have had a fabulous day and received some beautiful gifts. My amazing boyfriend has bought me the matching Mulberry purse to my Bayswater! I couldn't have been more thrilled! I've sipped on Lanson all day and now tucking into my second batch of Turkey sandwiches... this is what Christmas is all about!

Everybody loves a christmas jumper... including me!! This year I decided to go all out and buy the most glamorous reindeer jumper there is. I wore this on our annual Christmas Eve gathering in our local pub... I even won the best Christmas jumper competition!

Life As I Know It...

'Love isn't a maybe thing, you know when you love someone.' Lauren Conrad.

'The family is one of nature's masterpieces.' George Santayana.

It goes without saying that I'm a pretty lucky girl. I've been brought up within an amazing family, first as a Holmes then as a Dove. Growing up in a house filled with seven people has defiantly made me into the loud, outgoing person that I am. Your family are the people who make you into the person you are, so it's always important to remember those are the people who should always come first. 

Since 6th August 2005, I've spent practically every day with the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. Getting together at the age of 15 has meant that we have grew up together, starting from spending friday nights in a park, then onto the clubs in Sunderland and now a little bit more sophisticated with a few cocktail bars and a nice meal. The memories I have with this boy are some of the best I hold and I hope to make many more! 

On 17th July 2012, I graduated from Northumbria University, I can officially call myself a Fashion Communication Graduate!! As soon as I was able to choose my subjects in school, I immediately went down the Fashion route and successfully graduating from school, college and university in the subject I love, has been the biggest achievement I've made so far. 

The Beginning...

Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to start blogging about everything and anything to do with fashion and style. I'm a recent Fashion Communication graduate with an obsession for styling and photography. My love of fashion has stemmed from being a two year old girl, borrowing her mothers heels and clip-on earrings and now I've matured (well semi matured) into a twenty two year old young woman with a bulging wardrobe ready to combust onto the pages of The Northern Girl. 

I hope that you all enjoy reading my future posts and welcome to The Northern Girl.

XOXO
