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.

Walk & Eat: Fruit Scones
I haven’t featured a Walk + Eat recipe on the blog for a while, due to us having a half broken oven. The joys of home ownership, eh? There seemed no point in attempting to bake until we sorted a new one. Months later, putting off things like we usually do, AO.com sent a timely email to review their Stoves…

10 Simple Things #3
1. Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen Ash and one of my favourite artists, Gruff Rhys at our local indie music venue, The Trades Club. Gruff is always a joy to watch, but this time round it was an intimate experimental show with chat, songs and PowerPoint presentations. Loved it. The best night I’ve had all year however,…

Collaborative Post with Pure Thoughts. Items gifted listed at the bottom of the post. Bit by bit, I’ve been enjoying small moments in my day to try to get some control back after a bad bout of anxiety, and to help reconnect with me.

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!…

10 Simple Things #2
1| I love Hebden Bridge in all seasons but over the summer months it really is a special place to live. Evening drinks in beer gardens feel as if we’re on holiday, the annual Handmade Parade brings a festive atmosphere and the lush green landscape we’re surrounded by is breathtaking.

Good Vibes Only: July
Outfit details at bottom of post It’s been an eventful few weeks. Lifestyle changes have been made, many World Cup matches (and Love Island episodes) have been watched and I got a personal best walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks, whilst raising money for Alzheimer’s.

10 Simple Things
Outfit details at the bottom of the blog post 1| Making time in the evenings to read. I’ve been leaving my phone downstairs, because I cannot be trusted.

Tips on Slowing Down in a Modern World
I’m stating the obvious when I say to slow down you have to go about things slowly. But this was a revelation to me when I found myself rubbing hand lotion into my hands at warp speed the other week. I wasn’t in a rush or had anywhere to go, but my actions were disturbingly frantic as if doing things…
