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

| Does The Internet Influence Your Mental Health? | 26/12/17 |

A F T E R N O O N | SHOP MY OUTFIT: | COAT:  New Look | TEE:  Reserved | TROUSERS:  New Look | TRAINERS: H&M  | The internet is such a strange world, and it is in fact its own world - so far from reality yet so close, it redefines society conceptually to be honest. The internet can bring such wonderful things into the world: the announcement of a new baby, an endless supply of fashion inspiration, the top news at the fastest rate, and so many amazing memories and conversations can be shared between the beautiful people on this planet. The internet is an extraordinary place, and even more so as someone who has grown up in this time of technology. I bloody love the internet and all it brings to the world, I honestly think the internet is such a great platform for humanity to connect, share and create. However, I have been wondering my mind recently, quite intently, and have found myself shying away from the internet, and social media platforms. Despi...

| 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 ...

| My First Festival Experience. Thoughts From The Heart | 01/08/17 |

Morning all and welcome to a new week. Today's post is surrounding the much anticipated review of my first festival experience. As you may know if you've kept up-to-date with the blog recently, I attended FIB in Benicassim, which is a music festival! Today I wanted to share with you how I felt about my first festival, and whether I would recommend FIB as a festival I feel you cannot miss out on. ... THE JOURNEY In order to catch our flight, we had to be at Luton airport before 4am, so it was an incredibly early start to the day, wearily on about an hours sleep - thank goodness for Pret  and their delicious coffee that was the perfect pick-me-up. We then got on our two hour flight, and had about half an hour afterwards to stretch our legs before clambering onto the coach which had almost too good air conditioning because snoozing became impossible due to freezing to death. 3 hours later and we arrived in Benicassim. We applied our sun cream on thick, were hoarded in l...
