| 20 Things I've Learned In 20 Years...How Has This Happened?!?! | 28/11/17 |

H A P P Y   B I R T H D A Y   T O   M E ! 2 0 ! | OUTFIT | Tee:  Neon Rose | Earrings:  Asos | Jacket: Heelys | Trousers: Stradivarius  | Shoes: Mifani  | Clutch Bag: Asos  | Saying goodbye to my teenage years today is a disorientating feeling. Seven years of the valid excuse 'but I'm just a teenager' and the comfort of not yet reaching adulthood and responsibilities was calming. However, today I teenage no more, so I thought it would be interesting to reflect and to give an insight into 20 things I have learned in 20 years. HOW HAVE I BEEN ON THIS PLANET FOR TWENTY YEARS?!?!  Please, grab a cuppa and enjoy.  1. Turning 20 years old is scary, lol. 2. University is an experience I would 100% recommend to anyone, even though it can be stressful. 3.  Sleep and your diet completely alters how you feel: not enough sleep and you become grouchy; a poor diet and you lose all motivation to do an...

| A Surprising New Love... | 14/11/17 |

G O O D  M O R N I N G | OUTFIT | Jacket:  Asos | Top: Adolescent  | Jeans:  Asos | Boots: Asos  | Hello again, and thanks for returning to my little space on the internet. How are we all doing today? Are you thinking about the 'C' word yet? Have you had too much caffeine this morning? Are you reflecting back on last weekends antics? Do you feel happy? Stressed? Is the cold weather pissing you off yet?  I know what you're thinking, ' I'm here to find out what this new found love is, why is she not giving me the answer... ' Well, my new found love,  Stranger Things aside, is the colour RED. For the season of AW17, I had set myself the goal of exploring more trends, and experimenting with my wardrobe through challenging myself to try and adopt the current trends to fit in with my existing clothes. Red was an in trend colour I felt dubious about, as I am not the biggest colour wearer, yet I have found myself picking up more and mor...

G O O D  M O R N I N G | OUTFIT - Hat:  Asos  | Earrings:  Boho Queen Jewelry  | Coat:  New Look  | Dress:  Miss Selfridge  | Ankle Boots:  Asos  | Morning everyone, and welcome back to the blog. Today I wanted to share with you a very autumnal outfit, that I am dearly in love with. When it comes to planning outfits to shoot, it can honestly take me hours to complete a single look, but this outfit was a rarity in the sense I rustled it up in about twenty minutes, so I am thrilled with the outcome. As I mentioned in my last post, outfit planning and styling is definitely a love/hate situation for me, so finding an outfit that is fleeky with ease is a wonderful feeling. So, lets begin with the coat. I am a huge lover of coats, and I am admittedly beginning to accumulate quite the collection of jackets and winter coats, however this is my newest addition to my wardrobe coat-wise, and I picked this up on the Asos website....

| A Year That Has Felt Almost Too Good To Be True | 19/10/17 |

- - - - - - - - - - -  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Good Morning Everyone. I hope you're all having the most wonderful week, filled with memory making and happy times. Today I am removing the blog from fashion completely, and stripping it right back to the deepest, most intimate aspect of my life. As some of you may know, I like to add a little personal touch to these blog posts, because it is important to me that you funky readers feel some kind of connection with me and are able to relate to my plain human self in one way or another. Despite the fact a lot of bloggers remove their personal life from their blog for a sense of privacy, I feel as though by embracing my own life it can bring more life and energy into the blog. As a consequence, I want to share an important day with you all through this post, and I hope you appreciate the time I have taken to write this. Grab yourself a drink and get comfortable, because this post is a little bit of a long one, but p...

| Denim Dreams | 03/10/17 |

Good morning, how are we all?  I feel as though I have been slightly MIA recently, as I had been using the summer to write a lot of blog posts, and have them all scheduled ready, so I haven't ' needed ' to write a blog post in quite a while. Nonetheless, it feels great to be back in the blogging saddle, bringing some extremely exciting new ventures to my little spot in the internet world. Let's begin... - OUTFIT - Jacket:  ASOS Dress:  ASOS Cropped Tee:  Topshop Trainers:  ASOS Iron On Patches:  ASOS Badge: Courtesy of George :) You are probably wondering how on earth my £150 Nikon camera has managed to capture these insane shots, but in actual fact my poor little camera has been very much out of action. A few weeks ago, I managed to survive the experience of my first fashion shoot. The lovely Mike from Now Photography (link to his site  here ) took some shots of me for the blog, and after 4 hours of shooting I c...

| The Uni Tag | 19/09/17 |

1. Where do you study? I am studying my degree at the University of Northampton. Check them out  here. 2. What do you study? The course I am studying is BA Fashion Marketing. It is divided by business modules, and fashion modules, and is a three year course. 3. What year are you in? I am about to begin my second year, and am incredibly excited. I love uni life and the whole university experience. Although, this year I am going to have a lot more work to do, so I will be considerably more focused this year - maybe even go out slightly less lol :( 4. Do you live at home or at uni? I live in a house in Northampton and share it with my housemate Lauren. 5. How old are you? I am 19 years old, turning 20 in November. 6. What are your three uni essentials? I would say, in terms of university, my three essentials are 1. a trusty notepad that can be used for to-do lists as well as writing notes in lectures; 2. a lighter - during freshers you will meet a lot ...

| Autumn Is On The Way | 12/09/17 |

I am in absolute shock at how quickly this year is passing us by, how is it already September? As we all know, September is that time of year where everyone goes back to school/college/uni and we begin the much anticipated warm up to hot chocolate, fluffy socks and CHRISTMAS. Fear not, don't run away, I'm not one of those crazy Christmas people who begins to prepare the following Christmas in January, its just something to think about... Autumn is becoming apparent now, and leaves will soon be falling from the trees, boots and coats will be dusted off from last year, and we will all begin to say those forbidden words, 'I am so cold'. Alongside many, Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, particularly in terms of fashion. I am a huge fan of comfort over style (ironically) so Autumn gives me the perfect excuse to allow my baggy jumpers and checked shirts to pass as fashion pieces. So today, I thought I would share with you all my first composed AW17 loo...

| Unwinding | 05/09/17 |

Morning you lovely lot! Today on the blog, I have a post all about being able to relax at the end of the day, and how I most like to unwind. We have such busy lives and schedules, that it is so important to take some time at the end of the day to chill out and declutter your mind from the thoughts of the day. Here are the five ways in which I best unwind, and maybe you too could have a think about how you allow yourself to relax. 1. Cuppa tea The most obvious(ly British) way to unwind is to grab yourself a cup of tea. For me, drinking a cup of tea is one of the single most effective and easiest ways to help me unwind. The whole tea experience is something to enjoy, making the perfect brew in your preferred mug, grabbing a couple of biscuits or the whole packet if you fancy it and sitting down to watch Netflix. Before almost completely forgetting that you made the tea but then suddenly saving it when its gone slightly luke warm and the disappointment on your face is unruly...
