Sunglasses


So I picked the gloomiest, least sunny day to shoot this - clever! 

Sunglasses are definitely an essential for summer and finding the right pair at the right price can sometimes be difficult. Personally, I struggle with two things with sunglasses: 1) finding a pair that stay on my head 2) keeping a pair and keeping them unbroken for more than one summer. 

Pink round sunglasses: Asos
Pink/ orange metal frame sunglasses: Topshop
Subtle cat eye sunglasses: Topshop

When looking for a pair of sunglasses, I usually hit the high street. Purely because they're reasonably priced but also because it means I won't cry if I lose them or break them (I usually do). Topshop are brilliant for sunglasses, they have a huge range of different styles, colours and shapes so I would definitely recommend their range this year. The pink/ orange metal pair, I purchased for £15 from Topshop. I like them because they're relatively subtle in terms of the translucent plastic frame and the thin metal sides. The only issue I have found with this pair of sunglasses is the fact that because of the 'awkward' colour, they can be difficult to match with an outfit- this is what I've discovered. They don't fit my head particularly well, they do have a tendency to slide around slightly however I think that may be and issue with relatively inexpensive sunglasses - a quality issue which you wouldn't experience with a designer pair. I have worn these a handful of times and I do think they're very sweet! 

The pink plastic Asos pair of sunglasses are great. I bought them last year for around £12, I can't quite remember and I still have them - indestructible haha!! Because they're round and quite bold I think they're the perfect pair of sunglasses for going to festivals or fairs etc because they are SO funky. They fit me really well and look really great with an all-pink or white outfit. I would highly recommend having a browse on Asos' website for sunglasses. 

The final pair of sunglassses that I wanted to share with you are also from Topshop. They were priced at £16. They are 100% my 'go to' pair of sunglasses because they match with everything and fit my pea-head really really well. The subtle cat eye means that they look super stylish but aren't too flamboyant which I love about them. Because of the colour, you can wear them with just about anything and the plastic frame, I find, means they feel a lot tighter and more secure on my head! The best thing about topshop's glasses, of course, is the fact you get agree sunglasses case with each pair you purchase - super handy! 

See you soon ! 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...

Accommodation review: Lloyd Hotel And Cultural Embassy Amsterdam

EVENING MY LOVES! So I returned from my fun-filled trip to Amsterdam in the early hours of Friday morning, and to be honest, I've had a hard time recovering from the colossal amount of food I ate, the probable litres of prosecco I drank, and I surely must have been close to a ga-zillion steps through the 6 days I was wondering around the most beautiful city I have ever visited. As a second timer, I found Amsterdam even better than the first time, so if you are considering going to Amsterdam and you've been before so are hesitant, GO FOR IT! Similarly, if you've never been and are intrigued or you have stalked my Instagram recently, the temptation needs to be given in to - everything is Instagrammable ok!  So I have numerous blog posts lined up around the subject of my visit to Amsterdam, and firstly I want to share with you my accommodation experience.  Lloyd hotel and cultural embassy is located close by to a gorgeous river, but is equally only a 15 minute tram ride away f...

| Let Yourself Grow | 14/07/17 |

Morning everyone.  As the summer months are passing us by, I challenge you to stop and think, for almost a mid-year reflection. What have you achieved this year? How many times have you stepped out of your comfort zone and pushed the boundaries? Is there anything you have managed to do this year that you never thought you could?  It is so important for us to occasionally pause from our busy schedules that never naturally give us a breather, and to take an alternative perspective on our every move in order to reflect on whether we are allowing ourselves to grow. To become a better version of ourselves, with more experience, deeper emotions, and fonder memories.  Today, I aspire to use this blog post to share my own reflection, and the way I am truly feeling in the midst of 2017. Having this platform to share my thoughts is becoming such a great ordeal for me, to be able to express myself in a way I wouldn't usually, and to have a sense of purpose to my life that...
