May's blogger pick is the beautiful Kayla of Not Your Standard. Kayla, a Toronto native who lives in Berlin, Germany is one of my favourite bloggers, I absolutely love her style! From what I can remember I started following her blog when I came across her Basic Leather post and I haven't looked back since. Plus she gives me serious jean envy (is that even a thing?).

Lusting Lusting Lusting

I haven't done a wishlist in a while, so here's some things I'm currently lusting over. I really really want to buy the ASOS Kimmi Boyfriend Jeans, the Miss Pap Kylie Dress and the Missguided Double Strap Sandals... but perhaps I should wait until I've returned the five parcels that I've shoved in the corner of my room.
Although I have made a cheeky purchase with those New Look Sandals. Anyways enjoy and don't forget to click the image to take you to the item.

Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge | April

So here we are with another post on my Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge. In the last post on my Goodreads Reading Challenge I mentioned that I would increase my goal from 50 books when I hit my goal, now I haven't actually reached my goal (I'm only 3 books away) but this afternoon (May 12th) I decided to double my goal to 100.

As of today my Goodreads Reading Challenge is made up of 47 books (including some May books) which equals 11,921 pages, and I'm 11 books ahead of schedule. Pretty awesome right? So here are the books that I read in April.

Clarity Series (3*) (Loretta Lost) - Despite the mid-level rating I actually I think that this is my book of the month. I was up all night reading the whole series one after the other and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Personally I think the first book is the best one in the series (the other 3 weren't as good, the last one for me was the worst even though it was still good).

Beneath The Moon and the Stars (4*) (Holly Martin/Amelia Thorne) - I really, really liked this book maybe even loved it but I can't fully remember everything that happened so it's definitely worth another read. But I did love the air of mystery that surrounds Joy.

Sinner (5*) (Maggie Stiefvater) - I've been in love with Maggie ever since my sister bought me her book Shiver as a birthday present a few years ago. After seeing it on the New York Times Best Sellers list she thought I would like it and she was absolutely right. Now I loved reading Grace and Sam's story in the trilogy but my favourite characters were actually Isabel and Cole, so when I heard that there was a companion novel just for them I knew I had to have it.

Forever Sunshine (5*) (Collette Scott) - Well well another 5* book in April. I felt like I had to give this book a 5. I originally gave the book a 2 but then though don't be too harsh Jaye give it a 3. To be honest the book didn't a 2 or a 3 it truly does deserve the big fat 5. The book was truly incredible, the story was amazing it's just that I was so shocked by the ending I didn't expect it at all and I think that it left me quite angry.

Outfit | What I Wear To Work

So I'm finally getting round to continuing my series of outfit posts on what I wear to work after last posting about my Noa dress in January. You can find the rest of posts in the series in What I Wear To Work.

Ivory Pintuck Blouse - Mint Velvet || Fresno Pebble Wash Skinny Jeans - Mint Velvet || Handbag - ASOS || Boots - Primark

Oh what's that you say Jaye has bought more jeans? Yes I confess I've bought a new pair of jeans for work, so say hello to the Fresno Skinny Jeans. I bought these to replace my Phoenix Jeans (which I wore constantly), I really wanted a lighter pair of jeans and I absolutely love the colour of them.
I do love a good blouse and as soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it, lovely and floaty especially for this nice weather we've been having.

Now I don't usually where heeled boots for work but when I took these photos last week I thought I'm only working a short shift so why not. Big mistake! I was out for a lot longer than I thought I would be and after leaving my house around 10.30 I didn't get back until around 9pm. I still love them though.
