| A Surprising New Love... | 14/11/17 |

G O O D  M O R N I N G | OUTFIT | Jacket:  Asos | Top: Adolescent  | Jeans:  Asos | Boots: Asos  | Hello again, and thanks for returning to my little space on the internet. How are we all doing today? Are you thinking about the 'C' word yet? Have you had too much caffeine this morning? Are you reflecting back on last weekends antics? Do you feel happy? Stressed? Is the cold weather pissing you off yet?  I know what you're thinking, ' I'm here to find out what this new found love is, why is she not giving me the answer... ' Well, my new found love,  Stranger Things aside, is the colour RED. For the season of AW17, I had set myself the goal of exploring more trends, and experimenting with my wardrobe through challenging myself to try and adopt the current trends to fit in with my existing clothes. Red was an in trend colour I felt dubious about, as I am not the biggest colour wearer, yet I have found myself picking up more and mor...

G O O D  M O R N I N G | OUTFIT - Hat:  Asos  | Earrings:  Boho Queen Jewelry  | Coat:  New Look  | Dress:  Miss Selfridge  | Ankle Boots:  Asos  | Morning everyone, and welcome back to the blog. Today I wanted to share with you a very autumnal outfit, that I am dearly in love with. When it comes to planning outfits to shoot, it can honestly take me hours to complete a single look, but this outfit was a rarity in the sense I rustled it up in about twenty minutes, so I am thrilled with the outcome. As I mentioned in my last post, outfit planning and styling is definitely a love/hate situation for me, so finding an outfit that is fleeky with ease is a wonderful feeling. So, lets begin with the coat. I am a huge lover of coats, and I am admittedly beginning to accumulate quite the collection of jackets and winter coats, however this is my newest addition to my wardrobe coat-wise, and I picked this up on the Asos website....

| First Year Away From Home | 26/09/17 |

So for today's post, I am marking the end of my first year living away from home. It has been a crazy and wonderful first year experiencing the world from my new home away from my family, and I really have enjoyed every minute of it. Therefore, I deemed it was necessary to pop up a blog post so that I can reflect back to this day, and to remember the joyous first year away from home. This time last year... Despite the fact it doesn't even seem like all that long ago I was living back at home, getting my dinner cooked for me and my washing done, I do believe I have learned a great deal in this time. From learning to cook (a bit) to managing my time between social time, uni work and housework, it has all been such a great experience. I have become incredibly independent, and it is something I feel as though I have taken to really well, I love being independent and making my own way around the world. Learning to be brave and manage adult tasks has been interesting, and I ...

WELCOME. PLS ENJOY. - OUTFIT - JACKET: ASOS   Simplicity. Peace of mind. The beauty of plainness. There is something so majestic and pure about simplicity, and everything it entails in terms of fashion. A plain military style jacket, not teamed up with a pair of mom jeans or a dirty trainer, no badges pinned to it, or a colourful band tee beneath. No distractions from the core beauty of the jacket. That green colour that encompasses a certain warmth about it, a splash of nature, an abundance of brown undertones that feel comforting against the skin. Currently, I have been embracing all things minimalist, in the hope that by uncomplicating life from all angles, that it can present to me a clearer perspective of the world that I can embrace and fully immerse myself in. The concept of 'wardrobe essentials' and 'fashion basics' are often thrown around the blogging world, Instagram and YouTube, as the key items in your wardrobe are what makes your w...

| Current Fashion Favourites - Trends, Colour & Print | 22/08/17 |

MORNING ALL! Today I have for you all yet another 'generic' style blog post that is most commonly associated with those of the YouTube users. But today, I bring to you, a blogging version of my Current Fashion Favourites. Buckle up lads, and enjoy... 1. Espadrilles In terms of summer attire, I am not overly fond of sandals, and whilst I've been a sucker for sliders this season, I usually depend solely on closed toe shoes in the summer time. Espadrilles, for me, are perfect. They don't allow your feet to get too hot on a mid-summers day, and they look particularly gorgeous on the foot paired with a tea style dress or denim shorts; without the fuss of painting your toenails or being conscious about having your feet out, lol. Personally, these are my go-to shoes (if rain isn't predicted) and I have been wearing them absolutely endlessly this summer. They are so fundamental to my ideal summer wardrobe and I am obsessed.  2. Floral Prints Usually, I wo...

| A Classic Look Ft. Wooden Chair | 15/08/17 |

Picture this: its 6:30 pm on a Tuesday afternoon; the sun is peeping through the rain clouds from a showery day and I am sat, with a prominent smile upon my face having scored myself a great new job. A happy gal calls for an uplifting post... Since posting more frequently on the blog, I feel the sense of urgency for these posts to maintain a creative spark, to prevent the mundane and consequently losing my readership because posts have lost their mojo. A few weeks ago, my sister and I experimented with the images I use for these posts, by firstly shooting inside, and having my sister do my makeup in a way I would never choose myself. I love this makeup look though, glowy! Also, I feel this post has an edge of intimacy about it, as the images are less about the physical clothes I am wearing, and more about the mood, the expression and the overall vibes these pictures create. (hence the bizarre tiny chair propped up on this stool - artzy lol). With social media becoming...

| Update: Minimalist Wardrobe | 08/08/17 |

Good Morning all. How are we? Enjoying the summer holidays?  At last, I have an update for you on how I've been getting on with minimalism and cutting down my wardrobe to a more manageable amount, it wasn't easy and I think I am going to have to do this in stages. Hopefully you'll like this post, do let me know what you think and if you have any tips for de-cluttering I'd love to hear them. It's a Saturday, a glorious weekend of exciting activities, coffee to takeaway, cinema dates, walks in the park...Not today. Today I decided to begin to de-clutter my wardrobe, and what a task it was. I didn't quite realise how many items of clothing I had, and more to the point, clothes that I literally NEVER wear have been sandwiched between wardrobe essentials in the hope of being picked - poor little fellas. At first thought, I imagined it to be quite fun looking through clothes and neatly organising piles of 'keep, sell and charity', but in reality ...

| Comfortable In Your Own Skin | 04/08/17 |

Morning all, I hope today brings you all things kind and positive. Following on from a few weeks ago, where I briefly spoke about ways in which I have allowed myself to be at my most natural, I thought it would only be right to provide a small update on how things have progressed since. In terms of makeup and mindset, how have the two months changed me as a person, or have they? Ironically, in this post I have been 'glowed up' with a swipe of lip gloss, a pink lid, filled in eyebrows and a touch of highlight - although aside from the shoot for this post, I have refrained from wearing makeup completely recently. I must admit that at no point have I felt tempted to cover up my under-eye circles or blemishes. Initially, it was difficult to accept my makeup-less face in public especially, because I felt self conscious about what people would think in terms of having blemishes and spots. But having left my skin alone for long enough, the spots and blemishes have become smal...
