10 Benefits of Social Media
Outfit details at the bottom of the post After finally achieving a better online/offline balance on social media over the past few months (we’re good chums again) I felt inclined, whilst reading numerous digital detox articles, to talk about its perks. I’m not denying social media has its problems; causing anxiety, attracting pesky trolls and acting as a tool for distraction. But dependent on how you choose to use the platform, I feel its benefits completely outweigh the negative aspects…

Tote of the Week: Flashdance By One Must Dash
Flashdance Tote (£18) by One Must Dash Any bag that encourages the awesomeness of Disco gets my vote, so I’m pleased to declare this tote offering from One Must Dash as this week’s tote of the week. This fair trade and 100% cotton bag makes a great gift for spreading the positive spirit, and I’m all for that folks. Hurrah! As for the weekend, so far I’ve had fun prosecco-fuelled chat with Katy who has introduced me to the wonders of…

Tote of the Week: Uashmama Metallic Cross Body Bag via The Future Kept
Metallic Cross Body Bag (£59) from The Future Kept I mean, seriously. Look at this week’s tote of the week…I know right? Pretty. Darn. Majestic. This shimmery wonder is from The Future Kept. I know I feature them a lot on the blog but I’m sure you agree they just have the best taste! Handmade in Italy with leather details, the cross body bag is made from a magical fabric that is strong like leather and can be hand washed like fabric. It’s…

1| I love multipurpose makeup and I’ve heard very good things about the Beach Tint (£20) for your cheeks and lips. Apparently a little goes a long way which makes up for the expensive price tag. 2| Cheer up a plain t-shirt, blouse or jumper with this cheery number from Après Ski (€42). 3| I’ve quit taking sugar in my tea during the week which probably explains why I’m eating more jam on toast lately (craving the sweetness!). This Chiaverini Jam (£5.25) is definitely…

Pinterest: Autumn Outfit Inspiration
When I scrolled through my Pinterest style board the other day I noticed a big change. My wardrobe is packed with patterned and colourful dresses. My pin board? Full of black skinny jeans, plain jumpers and shirts. Don’t get me wrong, I love dresses but I’ve definitely started to sway towards simpler patterns and plainer styles instead. I’ve always felt more like myself wearing casual clothes but I love that some of the casual outfits I’ve pinned on this post can look smart,…

Tote of the Week: Ta-Da! Bag by Alphabet Bags
Ta-da! tote bag by Alphabet Bags A super quick post today whilst I’m heading to Leeds for the London train – choo choo!

Anyway, I’m carrying my sturdy leather tote with me today as it’s not the best weather for the humble cotton tote bag. If the sun was shining however I’d be all over this Ta-da tote bag from the always awesome, Alphabet Bags.…

Tote of the Week: You Are My Dreamboat by Helen Entwisle
Via Talented Totes I’m feeling a tad giddy today. It’s been a pretty awesome week full of goodness and hatching plans, so awesome in fact I’m going to squeeze it all into one paragraph! The OH has now finished his work gallivanting, and I was rewarded with his ace face and Fortnum and Mason treats (tea, biscuits, champagne truffles and a tote bag – wah?!). Ooh, we ate out at our local pub this week and had the BEST meal.…

Bookmarked: Pull and Bear
I must have been living in a cave to have never discovered Pull and Bear before. Oh well, I guess living out of the city can do that to a gal. Must. Get. Out. More. Whilst browsing Pinterest one stormy evening a few months ago, I spotted this awesome sweatshirt. Ever since I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled to see what else Pull and Bear has to offer; a lot it would seem! Fun sweatshirts, chic trousers, stylish shoes and accessories,…

Tote of the Week: Make Life Wonderful by West Elm
Market Tote Bag by West Elm I’m rather excited about this weekend. You see, I’m the type that likes to celebrate the small things as well as the big occasions. So when the 2nd March comes around to play, I go all kinds of crazy. ‘Tis my birthday you see; cake, gifts and cards – oh my! We’re off to York for fun and frolocks. There will be shopping, camera snapping, drinking cocktails and a little bit of culture. I…
