Spring Lookbook

So after quite a while with no videos I finally filmed and uploaded a new one!! I absolutely love lookbooks, they're my favourite thing to film and also watch on YouTube. So I decided to do 3 spring outfits for the upcoming sunny months. 
Here in England it's been warmer than usual so that's made me want to dig out the shorts and sunglasses so if it's not that warm where you are yet you could always put jackets or tights on with these outfits.
I thought I would go through my different outfits and where I got my clothes from and stuff in my blog instead of on YouTube so I can explain better.

Outfit 1- Casual




So for this first outfit all of the clothing is from New Look. A lot of the clothes in this are from New Look because there's a store at home and also where I live at uni, so I buy most of my new clothes from there.
The top is an off the shoulder one, which is a style I've always loved! I think it's a nice change to just an ordinary top and a bit more spring/summery because it shows off your shoulders. I didn't think I would like the stripes as much as I do, as I bought a second top like this (2 for £12) which was black but I still wear this one more. 
The jeans I got on offer at New Look, I think they were only £7. They didn't originally have the cuts in the knees, I did them myself but I think it just makes them look a bit different and edgier. 
And finally the shoes are my favourite things. I wear them most days because they are one of the comfiest pair of shoes I've ever owned. They also match all of my wardrobe which is handy and I love the 'Timbaland' feel of them even though I payed way less. They're pretty worn now but I think it makes them look a lot better.

Outfit 2- Spring Playsuit




This playsuit has become one of my new favourite outfits, I love everything about it. I think the pattern is very summery, whilst also being my favourite colour black. And the fit of the playsuit is great, with a tight upper half and then flippy shorts for the bottoms. I really like the top of the playsuit too and how it ties round my neck because I try not to show my chest off the best I can. And I just think the back is really pretty too. And the best part is that this was only £12 from Forever21 which I think is a bargain. I'll definitely be getting my money worth from this outfit. 
The shoes from New Look I've had for a while now and I think they're great. I don't like wearing really big heels as I'm tall enough as it is so these are good because the heel isn't huge and I don't end up towering over my friends. They're also really comfy, and can wear these all night with no problems. 
And finally I can't wait to wear this hat more often over spring and summer. It was a bargain from Primark and it just reminds me of sunhats that you wear on holiday or something you could wear to a festival.

Outfit 3- 



And the top in this outfit is actually new, this was the first time I'd worn it. I'd seen them in pictures online for ages and always wanted one of the tops with the slits up the sides. I think they look great with shorts underneath or even leggings in the colder weather. They just scream festival fashion so that's why I bought this one from New Look.
The shorts are from George at Asda, which is an English supermarket but I so love some of the clothes from George. These are white denim with small buttons on the sides and I think they match this top pretty well. 
And finally the shoes are another pair that I wear daily. I usually wear these on a night out if I'm not wearing heels because they're a bit high but also extremely comfortable. I think they'll be great again for spring and summer when the weather stays nice.

Lastly my sunglasses that I wear with these outfits are from Afflecks which is a collection of shops in Manchester. These are the first round sunglasses I've bought but I love this style and will definitely be buying more like this.
My earrings are just a simple set of silver hoops from Dorothy Perkins I think which I wear almost daily too.
And my watch is also from Asda and I just like the plainness of it because it's just simple black and gold with a leather strap. It was also a bargain at only £8.

So that's all of my outfits for the lookbook. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here.
I hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to get back to the weekly videos again!

Also a huge thanks to Serena over at Serena's Life who helped me shoot the whole thing and take all these great pictures! Go check her page out!

As always stay happy,

I'M BACK! LIFE UPDATE

My only excuse this time is university work, which I didn't realise was going to take over my time so much!
So what have I actually been doing for a month you might ask? 
Well for my course I've had essays and stories to write that took more time than I expected them to. I've also had to plan and film a short film that took up a lot of my time too. And excitedly I also starred in another groups short film, which I've never done before and it went really well!

But the boring stuff out of the way, I've also got addicted to Netflix... I was kind of late to the party but I finally got it and it was a bad idea, I should've just waited til summer! Currently I'm in the middle of the third season of Pretty Little Liars and I love it! I pretty much have girl crushes on all the girls and actual crushes on the guys! I already do know who 'A' is (or at least the name) because of stupid spoilers but I still can't wait to catch up to date properly. There's also so much I want to watch on there, it's just having the time to. 

Another project I've taken an interest in is a new group we created called HyperNation. It's a group of people from my university and basically we're a media platform- we will be creating music videos for local bands, create short films and plan and carry out events in nightclubs locally for now. It's something we're all very passionate about and things are getting started for us right now. If you want to check it out here's the social links:

I've also got new video ideas that I'm planning to get up and running very soon so keep an eye on my YouTube channel Just Sarah's Vlogs for new videos soon!!

Also keep up to date with what I'm doing on all my social media pages:

As always,
Stay Happy!
