You may have noticed that the past couple blog posts have taken place in multiple locations- this particular one is in Tenby. I actually spent three weeks travelling the UK with two of my best friends and we had an absolute blast- as I mentioned in my previous blog post! Tenby was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather that day was smashing! Unfortunately now it has reverted back to coat weather with speckles of rain. -.- Ahh well, you win some, you lose some.

As I am writing this post it 9:15 PM and I am sitting in bed. I work early morning shifts and so I have to get up at despicable times to get to work on time, but I actually really love working morning shifts. Whilst I do get tired at about midday, I feel ever so productive and I love having something to do with my days. I would be bored out of my mind if I wasn't working this summer. I'm trying to pick up as many shifts as possible as a little extra money during the school year doesn't hurt. I'm also trying to save up for a lot of things, but first I need to stop buying clothes and books! I think with my friends visiting I went a little wild with spending and now it is a matter of restraining myself. Already since they left I have bought a dress, two shirts and a pair of shoes! Someone needs to reign me in! 

This outfit is one I absolutely adore, but I didn't feel particularly body confident in it. I feel as if it makes me look a lot larger than I am, but maybe that's just me.

A couple of weeks ago I was visiting Brighton with my friends who were visiting from my homeland of Canada. I absolutely love Brighton: it's such a cute and cosy little town, yet it has so many things to do and see and so I knew it was an absolute must see! It was lovely to find out that my friends loved Brighton as much as I do! 

It was actually a lot warmer than I expected on this day, but nonetheless I had a fantabulous time! We even got papped while we were eating Brighton Rocks which was a weird, but interesting experience!

So I realise that I have been absent from the blogosphere for quite a while now which I sincerely apologise for. I got extremely busy with school and then I started working and everything blog related got put on the back burner. However, hopefully I am back for good this time! 

I'll also be doing quite a bit of revamping and redesigning with my blog, and you may have noticed that it has gone through several name changes, however I am hoping this one (Mahogany) will stick! I figured that What Would Audrey Wear was slightly too long of a title, and something about it didn't feel quite right to me! 

I saw a lady working in Next wearing this outfit and I immediately knew that I had to have it as she looked so gorgeous in it! The trousers were quite expensive- £35 to be exact, which is usually more than I would be willing to pay for any given item. However, I'd been looking for a pair of polka dotted trousers for a while and the quality was so good I just couldn't pass it up! They were also incredibly comfortable- which is always an added bonus! I'm not usually one for clashing patterns, but something about this outfit works!

I recently saw this polka dot shirt in H&M and I knew that I had to have it. It's very simple, but feminine at the same time and easy to pair with different items. I wore this outfit to class a couple of weeks ago and it was very comfortable. I like this denim skirt in particular because it not only fits well, but it also isn't scandalously short. I then paired it with a fitted coat and some brogues and voila, you have an effortlessly polished look! 

I am also still trying to learn how to format my pictures, I can't seem to get them all to be the same size! Stay tuned for some more blog posts, I know I haven't been very regular with my posting, but hopefully that will all be resolved within the next couple of weeks!
