My Wardrobe Refresh
Like many of us nowadays, ever since the Climate Emergency was declared, I’m more educated and mindful when buying new clothing, and consuming in general. I’d hardly consider myself a part of the fast-fashion problem; I don’t buy into trends and I’m a high waisted jeans and baggy jumper kinda girl. But I still have clothing sitting in my wardrobe that is either badly made, unworn or not well cared for by yours truly. I have lessons to learn about…

Eleven Feel-Good Gifts
Another month is almost over and I’ve only the dreaded lurgy, a broken boiler and The Great British Bake Off to show for it. I’m not sure how we’re greeting November already, but here we are folks (insert shrugging woman emoji here). To get a head start on silly season, and to distract myself from family woes and all the Brexit nonsense, I started my Christmas shopping. I love buying gifts for family and friends so my Christmas gifts this…

This Life: Looking Forward
Disclosure: Ad | Gifted items marked c/o in the post. Although it is a tad surreal that we’re in the final quarter of the year, I’m feeling ready for the next season to begin, come rain or shine. Summer was a bit of a blur for me personally, so I can’t wait to don my autumn ankle boots, wooly hat and walk into the new season, hot chocolate in hand. Just to get the crap stuff out of the way,…

Web Wanderings
Outfit details at the bottom of the post I was writing an article recently about my love of the outdoors, and I’ve spoke a lot about mindfulness and learning to slow down on here too. But, even with all its flaws, I have to confess that I love the digital world too. I love the freedom it creates in work and play, the like-minded souls you meet, and the comfort it offers for an introvert like me. The natural and digital…

Wear: Shirt Dresses
As someone who has never had an easy relationship with summer clothes, it’s a relief to have found a style of clothing that’s as versatile and chic as a shirt dress. The shirt dress is a summer wardrobe staple taking you from day to night effortlessly, and great for all shapes, sizes and ages too. No more hot mess outfits! The midi length style is my favourite as it pairs well with a variety of shoes including heels, trainers and…

Good Vibes Only: March
Full outfit details at bottom of the post Three months in. We’re THREE months into 2018. Don’t you think that’s crazy?

I’ve not had a proper blog catch up since January so I thought I’d check in, and grace you with an outfit post and some of the positive stuff that’s been happening of late. Beast of…

Looking Forward to February
Outfit Details: Cardigan c/o Damart | Black Jeans from New Look (old) | Black top from Gap (old) | Boots from Lotus Shoes (old) The tired face emoji (????) has been my preferred method of response to all types of communication this month. I don’t usually opt into the ‘January is the hardest month of the year’ camp; the weather doesn’t bother me and I usually feel enthused by the start of a brand new year. However this year, I…

Happy 2018
Hello 2018. How are we all, chums? I’m popping in to wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year and I’m hoping you enjoyed lots of joyful moments to enjoy over the festive period. I’ve heard plenty of people say they are looking forward to getting back to their regular routine, come Monday, but to be quite honest, I’d like some more time off please. I love my jobs and lifestyle January through to December, I really do,…

9 Awesome White T-Shirts
There is no doubt I use the word ‘awesome’ quite a lot but trust me in that I mean every syllable of the word in relation to these white printed t-shirts. I love the versatility of a white tee; they can be worn in any season, with or without layers, dressed up or down or as your favourite night-shirt (a few of my band tees end up being worn at night purely because they make me happy). The best thing…
