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.

My Top Travel Destinations

8 November 2016

London, UK
Technically, we’re nowhere near the end of the year – but I’m already feeling reflective and it’s time I do something about it… write a blog post. Anyway, it’ll be Christmas before we know it and then it’s New Years’ Eve and 2017 begins. I can’t wait, I think it’s going to be an awesome year. Anyway, I haven’t done an awful lot of travelling this year, and even though I’ve experienced so much more through blogging, I still miss jetting off somewhere nice. Believe it or not, I’ve only had one beach holiday in my entire life, and it blew my mind. I also went to Oslo in 2015 – best city ever. Still, there are many more places I want to go.

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 Top Five Bonfire Night Essentials

3 November 2016

Northampton, UK
Bonfire night is full of magic. A night under a sea of stars, warmed by a crackling fire while fireworks dance above – it’s fun for all. Bonfire night varies for me each year, sometimes I love to be right in the middle, surrounded by villagers and neighbours. Other years, I prefer to have my close friends with me while we have our own little party in my garden. Either way, it’s a night many in the UK look forward to because, well… fireworks are awesome. As with any event, I always have essentials. Can I find five major essentials from one store? Challenge accepted.

Another Night on the Town

1 November 2016

Heaton, UK
Happy November! Yaaaay! Another OOTD! Or rather, OOTN. As I’ve mentioned in like a hundred posts, I love to go out. When I first turned eighteen, I didn’t go near nightclubs, I always thought they were tacky and a little bit unsanitary. Although my opinion hasn’t changed, I still think going out is a fun experience. Now that I’m twenty, I still pop into Mission or Prism when I have the energy, but I also love going for casual drinks. Not all the clubs in Leeds sell fun cocktails, usually it’s just shots for 50p and a random fizzy drink ft. vodka. However, there are a few areas in Leeds that are amazing for dressing up and sitting in a classy establishment, having cocktails that are called Queen B and The Bazinga.
