Styling for Autumn



I finally feel like Autumn is really upon us - which means it is now appropriate to layer up, pop the fluffy socks on under your boots and embrace those nude colours! 

Firstly, apologies for the absence of a Fashion Friday post, I found myself unable to piece together an outfit I felt happy with, so I was weak and gave up - ha! 

Coat: F&F
Shirt: TKMaxx
Jeans: New Look
Boots: Asos

This assembly of items is really just aiming to excite you all about Autumn and to make you think about how you want to dress for the chilly weather this season. Personally, I find Autumn is a fantastic time of year because it's cold enough to feel cosy in all of your layers, however you don't have to worry about being genuinely cold because it's not quite reached freezing yet!! Also, I am really looking forward to wearing boots and warm socks and layering up with wool jumpers and shirts so that when I'm out walking the dog in the fields covered in crispy golden leaves, I can really get a feel for this time of year. 

So, the coat I am wearing is F&F from Tesco and I actually purchased this last year, close to Christmas, and got it for a bargain price. I love the colour and also love the style, a long coat really does keep you so much warmer than a bomber jacket or leather jacket might, and therefore it can last you through both Autumn and Winter. I paired this with a combination I've been wearing a lot recently - the shirt and jeans. The shirt is a great staple shirt as its relatively simple and can be worn both under a jumper and over a vest top. However, my real love is for these jeans from New Look. I absolutely love these because they are beyond comfortable, are very tight fitting which is surprising as I usually struggle with jeans being baggy at the ankle because I'm too short for them! These jeans tick all the boxes, and I feel they pair well with black and white best. I would 100% recommend New Look for their AW15 collection because they really do have some absolute gems - both jeans but also their jumpers and tops are on point! Last of all, the boots. These ankle boots were purchased last year and I bought these from Asos. I constantly find myself browsing on Asos for boots as I cannot ever choose a single pair because they are all so lovely - so much choice! However I bought these as they are flats and at the time I owned mostly heeled shoes. I actually got them for my holiday to Amsterdam because I assumed I'd be doing a lot of walking - which I did. Another great thing about these boots is that they are very spacious and comfortable which means you can fit some snug socks underneath without anyone knowing - sneaky! 

Hope you liked today's post! 
See you soon!

| 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...
