"And God, give us the reason
 Youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season 
And the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars
Trying to light up the dark"

- Lost Stars by Adam Levine

----------------------------------------

 I haven't posted a proper outfit like this for agesssss - must've been a good few months...and I sincerely apologise for that! These are the first few photos of my shorter hair (:

 So I watched the movie 'Begin Again' starring Adam Levine and Keira Knightley and I just fell in love with their whole soundtrack...especially this song, hence the line and post title. Although I much prefer Keira Knightley's softer version. As soon as I saw this crop top, I knew that I wanted it because it reminded me of the days where I still had art lessons in school and the style of Keith Haring was theme one term. Needless to say, I loved that theme because his style was so simple to emulate that even someone that lacks artistic talent (like myself) can do an adequate job. 

  Anyway, this is a super simple crop top and shorts combo that is perfect for the warmer summer season. All you need is a statement graphic muscle tee (something I'm loving lately for a sneaky hint of skin), like this Forever 21 Keith Haring one! I believe they have a whole Keith Haring range which I am dying to get my hands one. Hmmm...I guess I sort of reminisced about my youth a bit there...which kinda relates to the post title? :P 

  Heheh, hope you guys enjoy this simple outfit and do go watch the movie 'Begin Again', or check out that song at least!

Wishlist Wednesday #12 // Cropped Sweaters

It's sweater weather! Cropped sweaters are great for those cooler days, but when you don't want to be all wrapped up. Plus, there are a lot of outfit combinations! Skirts, shorts, leggings, dresses... you name it

1. Forever 21 - Wild Thing Cropped Sweater: £12.75 // US$ 15.80

A great way to combine the leopard print trend in this sweater weather. The sleeves add a nice touch!

2. Forever 21 - Mickey Mouse Cropped Sweatshirt £16.75 // US$ 19.80

Perfect for those Disney lovers (and maybe those that aren't). Channel your inner child - plus, how adorable is that?

3. ASOS - Cropped Sweater with Short Sleeves £13.50 // US$ 24.03

I love the speckled texture and the combination of colours! Short sleeves are perfect for those half warm, half cool autumn days.

4. Motel Rocks - Cropped Sweater in Multi-coloured Tie Dye Print £19.00 // US$ 38.00

Such a quirky print! Even though it's A/W, who says you can't wear bright colours?

5. Urban Outfitters - Pins and Needles Nanna Crop Jumper £38.00 

Sometimes simplicity is best. And this jumper looks so warm and cosy to snuggle up in!
