WELCOME. PLS ENJOY.

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 wardrobe yours. A difference in your staple pieces to your friends is what initiates your personal style as being different to somebody else's. Wardrobe staples are your style, and so they have the ability to create a personality and vibe through garments, which separates you from others' styles and can also bring you closer to others with similar styles and fashion personalities. One of my most basic pieces that I frequently wear, is in fact this khaki green ASOS jacket - I love it so much, and would agree that it portrays my fashion personality: natural colour palette, simple, oversized, bohemian/grunge almost...


Wardrobe staples can be used to create effortless looks and a number of those too. With a staple item, it requires versatility so that it can compliment other items in your wardrobe. This jacket for instance, the colours are very suited to the colours I have a lot of in my wardrobe. A lot of black, grey, marl, browns and beige in existing garments means that the colour of this jacket fits in nicely. Also, I like to incorporate oversized pieces into my wardrobe because I have a simple style and like to be comfortable. Therefore, this jacket comes in useful because it is slightly oversized, and can be layered with on colder days to maximise my comfort. It also has the much appreciated large pockets on the front, which I fully take advantage of. SO USEFUL.

So there, have a little think about how your wardrobe essentials create your own personal style, and how when investing in a piece, you can pop it against your staples, and figure out in a simple way if it will fit into your existing wardrobe!


See ya next time!
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...

Milk it vintage

             Dress: Milk It Vintage Leather Jacket: Heeli Ripped jeans: Topshop Trainer pumps: Asos Rucksack: Fjallraven Kanken  Hey! A slow, slightly slurred good morning from me to you, but eh that's what Sunday's are for right... So today I wanted to share with you a blog post containing some simple, casual items, that actually I wear pretty often. So firstly, the dress from Milk It Vintage is something I only purchased about a month ago from Asos and I would highly recommend you take a look at their range of items on the Asos site. So it's a Tshirt style dress with large rips in one shoulder, side and chest (but not too big at the chest, rest assured). I have worn it as a top rather than a dress in this styling, however I have found that it works perfectly both ways. It is incredibly comfortable, soft, and not fitted at all. The only defect it has is that the label on the inside of the neckline is ridiculously itchy !!!!!  So anyway, I st...

| 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...
