| Festival / Holiday Look No.5 | 18/07/17 |




Morning all and welcome to the last festival/holiday look episode of the saga! I am currently feeling absolutely shattered from my wonderful trip away to Spain with George, Sam and Josh - link to Sam's blog here. I will be keeping you all updated with how my first festival experience was shortly, and what I've been wearing through the week, so keep a look out for some brand new posts all about that. But onto today's post, the final episode...get comfy and enjoy...




- OUTFIT - 
Sunglasses: Topshop
Jacket: ASOS
Dress: ASOS
Canvas Trainers: H&M


For those who are a little bit bohemian, I feel like this look could inspire an outfit choice for you. The neutral tones, lace up detailing and layered jewellery adds a real bohemian vibe that I am digging so hard. Unfortunately, I purchased these sunglasses last summer and the dress the summer before that, so these are no longer available. However I will add an alternative pair of shades right here and a similar dress here!

I think this look is utterly ideal for summer holidays or festivals because its undoubtedly versatile. This ASOS jacket can keep you warm in a slight breeze or if you're out in the evening. Equally, if you're sitting down on the floor whether it be sand or grass, you can pop this jacket down on the ground to protect your dress from getting mucky and is ultimately more comfortable. This is especially important if you're wearing a white dress as I am.

The shades I am wearing have a very dark tint to them, so are more appropriate for the sunniest of sunny weather, hence why I am hoping to take them to Spain - they don't get much wear here in the U.K. I love the cat eye detail on these because its quite subtle and doesn't drown your face out too much, preventing you from looking like a small baby wearing huge sunglasses, lol.

The H&M grey canvas pumps I have added to this look are great, particularly if you are going on walks on your holiday, and are obviously perfect for festivals as your pretty sandals aren't going to last 3 minutes in the midst of a rave lol. Because they're canvas, these little shoes are going to keep your little feetsies cool, but also protected from hurting yourself. The rubber sole on these are also very practical because it means if you step in something a bit sharp, you're not going to cut your foot (drastic I know). They're also incredibly comfortable and are easy to style up with shorts and day dresses.

Lastly, this dress. I have owned this dress a few years now, and it always makes its way out of the wardrobe come summer time. I love it so much! In fact, it was starred in one of my very first blog posts. This canvas style dress is relatively short but you're still at a pretty low risk of flashing to the world so fear not, but it does leave you with unavoidably the majority of your legs on display. It's not too tight fitting, so you refrain from getting ridiculously hot and sweaty in it (classy), which also means its super comfy! EASY FASHION, CHECK. Lastly, despite the colour being completely impractical, the pocket details, lace up front, and overall comfort completely surpasses the very small problem with this dress. ITS A YES FROM ME. 


Thanks for reading and thank you to all of you who stuck with me for the entirety of this little saga. I would love to know your thoughts on me doing another saga style set of blog posts, and what kind of thing would you love to see? It would be of so much help if I knew a little more about what my funky readers like to read. Thanks again!

| 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...
