| Going Back To Basics | 10/10/17 |



Gooood morning, and welcome back to the blog. Today, I wanted to share with you another post from my first fashion photo shoot. This outfit, I feel, is perfect for this transitional period, and is also verging on the smart side of fashion (for me anyway, lol). I really enjoyed piecing together this outfit, and trying to experiment with my personal style. As you all undoubtedly know, I often opt for the comfier garments and that aspect of my style definitely is portrayed through most of my blog posts. But equally, trying something new is exhilarating, particularly with Autumn homing into view so I want to diversify my wardrobe. I am loving the tailored look, and am growing fonder of fitted tops that enhance my body a lot more than a baggy tshirt or oversized jacket would.

Polo Top: Topshop
Tailored Trousers: ASOS
Boots: Office




When playing around with your wardrobe pieces and personal style, I think it is incredibly important to keep things basic. Trying too much at once is ultimately going to be far too overwhelming to become a permanent aspect of your style, so dipping your toes in is more logical than splashing out on a shirt that look like the rainbow threw up on it, or accessorising with a huge burnt orange faux fur scarf that swallows you up. Feeling comfortable and confident is key, hence why I have chosen to keep the colour theme extremely simple. All black is definitely a safe option, so I am able to feel positively trendy in some awkward length tailored trousers and heels. I also decided to add my most desirable possession to this look for extra confidence - these sunnies! Always.


Furthermore, knowing your body shape and what flatters you definitely aids in your decision making when trying something new. If you feel that you want to enhance your waistline, go for something very skimming over the tummy, and well fitted to your waist and hips. Knowing your body and what looks great will help you feel fabulous in whatever fashion choices you make. If you aren't a fan of your legs and feel as though they're a feature that makes you feel a bit self conscious, then maybe don't opt for a skirt that will reveal the things you're worried about. Find some funky trousers that pull you in at the waist and bellow out to a kick-flare or a cigarette style trouser in a burgundy or striped print. On the other hand though, don't limit yourself to safety if you don't want to, if you love that dress with a dangerously low v neckline then GO FOR IT!



Lastly, I just wanted to take some time to give you the run-down on the actual outfit in this post. Firstly, this polo top. I purchased this last year, but didn't get a lot of wear out of it, even during the winter months. I was pretty clueless on how to style this style of top (even though its so simple). I also didn't feel particularly great about wearing something so incredibly tight, but this season I think I am going to use polo neck tops to layer garments and to play around with the different fits that garments can have. Polo necks have a lot to offer and I am going to make the most of it!!!

Secondly, these ASOS tailored 3/4 length trousers. I purchased these in Spring as a bit of a 'try out' but in actual fact, I have been loving wearing these a lot. They're very flattering, but without being clingy or tight, which is perfect. I also love the ever so slight kick flare at the bottom of these trousers, and the way they skim over the calf. A big winner here...

So, the final aspect of this look I wanted to talk about are these ankle boots from Office. They're a patent black with a buckle detailing over the foot. They're relatively comfortable, however I would note that they aren't very soft inside, so wearing them for a longer period of time could become a slight challenge. I love how they look nonetheless, and they're definitely effortlessly cool in my opinion.


I hope you enjoyed this post, and are looking forward to seeing some more AW17 attire. There's plenty more to come. Also, if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see styled, let me know and I will see what I can do. Lastly, if you are interested, all of these photos were taken from my fashion shoot with Now Photography so be sure to check out their site if you are interested in having your own photo shoot, or if you have a more general interest in photography. Their work is really great, and I like to think you will enjoy scouring their website as much as I have been.

Peace out x

| 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...

| My First Festival Experience. Thoughts From The Heart | 01/08/17 |

Morning all and welcome to a new week. Today's post is surrounding the much anticipated review of my first festival experience. As you may know if you've kept up-to-date with the blog recently, I attended FIB in Benicassim, which is a music festival! Today I wanted to share with you how I felt about my first festival, and whether I would recommend FIB as a festival I feel you cannot miss out on. ... THE JOURNEY In order to catch our flight, we had to be at Luton airport before 4am, so it was an incredibly early start to the day, wearily on about an hours sleep - thank goodness for Pret  and their delicious coffee that was the perfect pick-me-up. We then got on our two hour flight, and had about half an hour afterwards to stretch our legs before clambering onto the coach which had almost too good air conditioning because snoozing became impossible due to freezing to death. 3 hours later and we arrived in Benicassim. We applied our sun cream on thick, were hoarded in l...
