So here I am again, and here you are again, taking up some precious time of this short life we have, to read my thoughts on the word. And on the agenda today: nature. I gotta' whole lot of love for nature, for the earth, for this crazy world we are lucky enough to live in. I honestly don't think we appreciate the wonders of the world enough - and I'm not talking the Great Wall of China or the Taj Mahal, as much as they are incredible. Every day, we wake up to the sound of the daily grind; to the jobs the we would rather miss to stay in the comfort of our warm beds and to the eternal passing of time. Sometimes I think we ought to take a minute out of our busy schedules to just sit outdoors and be at one with nature, because I do believe we take it for granted - the simple beauty of the universe. But seriously, without flowing rivers, the classic 'trees in the park', the food grabbing pigeons and the love/hate relationship with our eight legged friends, we wouldn't even be here. Imagine.



So... back to fashion, the pinnacle of this blog. These images were actually taken in the midst of summer, and what seems like a life time ago, but unfortunately I am still yet to take any new blog photos. I know, I know, I'm truly sorry! But rest assured, they are coming.

This outfit combination may be relatively inconvenient now unless you're not in the cold UK and for that you are welcome and I am extremely jealous. But nonetheless, it is one that I am ever so fond of. In particular, these shoes are the ideal daytime heel, these jeans (as all Topshop jeans) are timeless, and this floaty blouse makes me feel like I'm a true hippie that could jam to the soul awakening sound of Bob Dylan ALL DAY LONG.


So firstly, these sandal style heels. I have had these about 3 years now and I purchased them in the sale section of New Look for £9 which is an absolute bargain. Quick disclaimer: I would totally recommend New Look on the heels front, because I am always content with a cheeky New Look purchase and their prices are always so affordable. CALLING ALL STUDENTS, CHECK 'EM OUT. So these obviously can't be directly purchased anymore, but they do still stock very similar versions in a variation of colours. The heel is of the ideal height for day time wear, styled great with a pair of jeans or day dress. Equally, they're fab for a night out because your feet won't die after an hour of dancing - brill.

The jeans. Topshop. Need I say more? Every gal (probably) will agree with the fact that Topshop absolutely smash it in the jeans department, and despite the fact the cheapest pair are about £36 (which I think this pair was) they're worth it every single time. The fit is perfect as they hug all the right places and high waisted jeans generally hold every sin in tightly, so I always feel comfortable that my dinner isn't going to burst out and ruin 'the look' of my outfit. lol.

Lastly, this boho style blouse from Asos. I love it. Its great. It is a really lightweight number, so as a beach cover up it's handy and is also good for layering on chillier days. Although the neck line is quite low cut, you can defo rock a bit of cleavage in this blouse, but personally I feel a lot more comfortable with a vest top underneath, for a bit more of a conservative look. So yeah, this is as versatile as a blouse can get, and it is definitely going to stay safely in my wardrobe for as long as possible. The only thing I would say is that you must remember to care for this blouse in terms of washing, as it needs to be ironed whilst damp, or it kinda loses its shape. I learned this the hard way lol, but I still love it regardless.



Just before I head off and let you get on with your evening, I have one final little mention that I want to tell you all whilst I sip on my now luke-warm cuppa. With the environment on my mind, I just wanted to leave you all with a small bit of reading to do if you've not read enough already. Why do I feel like I am setting you homework?! I would be most pleased if you could check out this really interesting online magazine 'The Ecologist' that talks about environmental issues and what is currently going on in the world - kinda like the news but eco! I shall leave a link to their website and one of their articles here and I hope you take the time to have a little read.

P.S Happy Halloween.

| 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...
