Boyfriend shirt from Bangkok; Sweater by H&M; Bag by Longchamp
What do you do when you have an oversized boyfriend shirt? Hide it beneath a jumper and ta-daa. Preppy for uni.
I’ve also been wearing my glasses to university lately as well because I find that the Newcastle’s cold wind dries out my contact lenses pretty quickly resulting in headaches.
Talking about the cold, my dad called me from Borneo today in a state of panic because apparently “people were dying in Europe from the snow”! Hahaa! I found that so hilarious because there’s been no snow (except frost) here, so I reassured him that I was adequately dressed for the cold.
Besides…the worst thing that snow could do was freeze the water in my pipes, making my pipes burst, having the water container explode, water trickle down my ceiling and having my ceiling fall. FALL. Which by the way, DID happen, when I was staying in a cheap student house in Manchester in early 2010. What could snow possibly do to me eh, than it already has?! BRING IT ON.

I’m also quite excited to receive my FIRST Graze box today! It’s a really cool concept of having healthy snacks to be delivered to you housed in a box of 4 compartments!
Here’s what I am to anticipate in my box today:
- Cherry tomato, basil and puglian pesto focaccia
- Smoky red pepper gazpacho dip
- Apple and cinnamon flapjack
- Yin & Yang
I can’t wait to taste my new healthy snacks! These would be perfect for me to bring to uni, especially on long days (I had a 9am-8pm day yesterday, in full suit) when I don’t have time to properly sit down and eat. This would do well to keep my stomach fairly happy.
The great thing about this is that you can rate which foods you’d like to be sent or not, which is awesome if you are picky with your food. Here are the different categories of food Graze.com offers:
Click on each category and be spoilt with choice!
You should also rate the snacks, because wouldn’t you want to get something you’d like eating instead of getting 1 or 2 snacks you simply can’t eat? Like so:
I clicked ‘Bin’ on snacks I didn’t fancy eating, so I know I won’t be getting them in the near future!
If you’d like to try out your first box (for free) like me, use this code: YUM2
With that code, you’re entitled to your next box at half price £1.89 (A box including delivery costs £3.79)!
However, there’s no commitment to this and if I don’t like my Graze boxes anymore I can easily cancel my boxes. Easy peasy!
So far this is only available in the UK, so if you’ve tried the Graze box before, do let me know!

I’ve never heard of Graze! What a great idea!
I received my first box today and it is SO yummy! Definitely loving the concept, and so much thought put into each box as well! If you were living in the UK, I’d have sent you the code for a free box! xx
I LOVE this look – the colors look so good together, and I love the longer blouse with the shorter sweater. So cute
And Graze looks pretty awesome!

Thank you Annie! I love the purple hues as well, brightens up the outfit! xx
How nifty is that Graze! Or CRAZE should we say! Sounds cool, though! I like the concept, but how much of it is really healthy?
Well with every box they give you a personalised booklet stating exactly what’s in each food item! There’s also a healthier box in Graze but it’s mostly nuts (no no)
The graze box would have come in SO handy when I was writing my thesis! What a nice idea. I really like this style – preppy is something I find very hard to pull off, but I have many style icons who fit so well into this category. Lovely blog! Thank you so much for visiting StyleOnTheCouch.

Thank you and I’d think preppy would look just great on you! Yep that graze box is sure coming in handy I must say! xx
A previous housemate of mine ordered Graze boxes! You’ve just made me hungry by showing me lots of pictures of lovely snacks. How often do they deliver? Can you pick the frequency?
Hi Nicole! I’ve had them delivered once a week, but I’m sure you can get it delivered more frequently than that! The snacks ARE delicious! xx
Hi, nice outfit you are wearing!anyway, just want to ask, your longchamp bag, is it in large or medium size?Can u email me, coz Im thinking of buying one for myslf but did not have a clue on the size,tq
Hi Hana! My bag is in the large size and I’m 5’1″/5’2″! For measurements be sure to check Longchamp and check the Le Pliage range – they have measurements stated
I hope that helps!
Hi! I like your casual outfit! Im the same height so its nice to see someone of my height modeling the latest fashion and everyday wear.
what color is your longchamp bag? I really love it! Thank you!
HIya Amy sorry for the late reply! I really can’t remember what the name of the colour is – I bought it in the airport in Brussels and there was no indication as to the colour..you can try looking at their website?
