| Keeping Thing's Simple | 26/05/17 |


HEY DUDES...

I have been loving this change of weather this week; the continuous downpour of rain was just beginning to dampen my mood (pun very much intended), but now that the sun is shining, I feel very much refreshed and ready to provide summer content for you funky lot. 

Before I get cracking, how do we all feel about money? Personally, I find money, and the absence of, utterly stressful. Since leaving home, I've felt overwhelmed at times with the responsibility of handling money; ensuring I have enough money to pay bills on time and so that I never run out. As a student, obviously this can be overbearingly painful at times as student loans aren't the most generous. However, I would honestly love to know if this is it now, for the rest of time, am I going to spend my entire existence feeling concerned about what's in my bank?!?!?!?! WILL THE PAIN EVER END?! Anyway, before I give myself premature grey hair and wrinkles, let's get on with things...

I feel like this outfit really captures a typical spring/summer look of mine. I have a tendency to lean towards dresses when the weather brightens up, particularly as I'm not the most keen shorts-wearer. I feel like because I am short and don't have the slimmest thighs ever, that shorts really don't flatter me all that well, and so I am less confident in a pair of denim shorts than a dress or skirt, so come summertime, I regularly opt for a skirt/dress like the one in this post.

Checking out the floor like Kylie Jenner, lmao...


I haven't had this dress for a particularly long time, however this season I have been creating a small collection of plain black dresses in my wardrobe, in both midi and maxi length. They are incredibly versatile and both body-con and jersey dresses provide comfort and a hint of style - easy fashion, my fave. This particular dress I love because of the jersey spaghetti straps and the high neckline. Also, the high split on the leg adds a little something to quite a 'plain Jane' dress. This dress was from New Look, and I must say that I don't frequently visit New Look all that much anymore, as it honestly reminds me of being 15/16 and spending my pocket money in New Look whenever I had enough to make a purchase. But, I am pleasantly surprised by this dress, and I did in fact buy a dress very similar last year from New Look, so if you're on the hunt for a black midi dress, most definitely have a gander in their store, or online!!!

***Quick disclaimer, thanks George for purchasing this dress for me, u did gd man.***

 Crazy chick with wild hair, ELLO M8!

PEACE OUT BABIES, SEE YOU ALL NEXT FRIDAY!!!!

| Festival / Holiday Look No.1 | 20/06/17 |

HELLO HELLO! So this is going to be a little 'saga' of looks I've selected that I think would be super appropriate for your summer holidays, or equally just as good as a festival outfit. I am aiming to make them as realistic as possible, in the sense that each outfit is something that I would actually wear on holiday, and also so that each look is relatively affordable and could incorporate items you already have hidden in your wardrobe, alongside more trend-based pieces. Hopefully, this will be a success and may inspire you while planning your own holiday outfits. I don't know about you guys, but I find it ever so tedious trying to plan holiday outfits, so I feel like this would help me! Lastly, I am going away soon myself, so I am hoping to use these blog posts to document outfit ideas that I will be able to wear myself! ENJOY. - OUTFIT - Top:  Pretty Little Thing Skirt:  ASOS Sunglasses:  Spitfire Earrings:  ASOS Espadrilles:  ASOS...

| The Truth About Student Life | 20/02/18 |

M O R N I N G  I almost feel like I've forgotten how to write a blog post, so the format of this post might be a bit 'up in the air'. Therefore, before I delve into things, here's a quick disclaimer... On the 26th December, I uploaded a blog post surrounding the topic of social media, and the influence I feel it has on the mental health of its users. Since then, I have been absent from this blog, and largely absent from social media in general, because I feel as though I've had nothing worth saying recently. I would much rather only upload when I am bringing a little something useful to the internet that even if only one person found it interesting, it would at least have a purpose.  This leads swiftly on to the subject of this post. Student life, and the truth about how it feels to experience daily life as a young adult, studying at University. I promise to not sugar coat the finer details, and to accurately portray the common notions of being a student...

| Autumn Is On The Way | 12/09/17 |

I am in absolute shock at how quickly this year is passing us by, how is it already September? As we all know, September is that time of year where everyone goes back to school/college/uni and we begin the much anticipated warm up to hot chocolate, fluffy socks and CHRISTMAS. Fear not, don't run away, I'm not one of those crazy Christmas people who begins to prepare the following Christmas in January, its just something to think about... Autumn is becoming apparent now, and leaves will soon be falling from the trees, boots and coats will be dusted off from last year, and we will all begin to say those forbidden words, 'I am so cold'. Alongside many, Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, particularly in terms of fashion. I am a huge fan of comfort over style (ironically) so Autumn gives me the perfect excuse to allow my baggy jumpers and checked shirts to pass as fashion pieces. So today, I thought I would share with you all my first composed AW17 loo...
