Phone Cases Galore!
15 November 2016
Hurray for post number 350! I'm sure you’ve heard me blab on about CaseApp about 100 times. This time last year, I had just discovered the brand, and now I’m obsessed! I like to mix up my phone cases every so often, especially when it comes to a new season. The change gives me something different to look at, rather than the basic iPhone back (even though mine’s pink and I love pink), and motivates me in a weird but wonderful way. Custom designs by me help the cases feel a little more personal too, and I’ve managed to build up quite the collection over the years.
Polo Season
11 November 2016
Eldwick, UK
Autumn is an awesome time of year. It’s awesome for many reasons, and one of those reasons is being able to wear polo neck jumpers that are light grey without worrying about sweating through it. Was that too weird to reveal on my blog? Probably but I’m sticking with it. I’ve also really taken a liking to gilets or waistcoats, which I never really liked before.
Next Spring 2017 Press Day
6 November 2016
Marylebone, London, UK
The lovely people at Next invited me down to London on 02
November to check out some of the pieces that will be features in the Spring
2017 collection, from Womenswear right through to the stunning Homeware range. Spending
a day in London is exciting as it is, but being able to have a sneak peak and
the newest trends is one sweet cherry on top. As I walked into One Marylebone,
the wide variety of clothing and
accessories immediately gave me a ‘jungle’ feel, as the shelves were decorated
with leaves, vibrant green plants and wooden crates. The room was lively,
perfect for spring.
My Favourite 'Cheer Me Up' Playlists
28 October 2016
Shipley, UK
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll know I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Wednesday and I'm certainly feeling the aftermath of having bone ripped from my face. So far, my experience has not been very pleasant, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. The extraction itself was fine, although the root of my right tooth was so strong a second dentist had to tug at my face until it budged. The pain came after the bleeding slowed down, the happy gas wore off and my face swelling almost disappeared. The biggest struggle is definitely only being able to have soup and yogurt for 90% of my meals - I need a burger!
Back to School
19 October 2016
West Yorkshire, UK
Since leaving school, I haven’t really looked back. Not that
I didn’t enjoy learning about different subjects and increasing my skills but
just the idea of being back in the education system gives me nightmares.
However, sometimes I put outfits together, and just wish I had these items of
clothing while I was in school. Looking back at sixth form, my dress sense was
not… the best. Let’s just say, I got to a point where I didn’t care much for my
appearance (a stage every student goes through) and literally put on the first
scraps of fabric I could find. One day, I actually wore a pyjama top to an
exam.
Today’s outfit totally reminds me of the type of style I
wanted to have in school, super simple and very comfortable. I’m actually not
that big on double denim, but with the two contrasting colours, it works. Denim
jackets were a staple summer piece for me and I think they’re still great for
the first few weeks of autumn. Before it gets too chilly, I definitely think you can get away with the occasional
summer item – even if it means being the biggest (Lizzie McGuire) outfit
repeater.
I never had a rucksack in school. At one point I literally
just carried my ring binders around and hoped for the best – getting on the bus
was a nightmare. I recently bought this backpack from New Look through ASOS and
absolutely love it. They’re so easy to work with! Similarly, these awesome Vans
I picked up from TK Maxx (for only £6) are my new go-to shoe. I love the unique
pattern and I think they brighten up the look without taking all the attention
in the outfit.
For me, one of the most exciting things about autumn, or
fall, is the colours I get to wear. I picked up this thinly knitted jumper from
Matalan and the colour is a must for
autumn. I’m back in my denim jacket from my most-recent OOTD because… well it’s
an awesome jacket. I even wrapped the sleeves from my jumper around the jacket,
for that extra touch of auburn; I really think the two fabrics work well
together.
