I'm still here


Jumper- Boohoo// Skirt and Rings- H&M // Bag- Next


These pictures were kindly taken by my sister about a month ago. I had every intention of uploading them as soon as they were taken but I refrained. I don't actually know why. I often find that I lose my blogging 'mojo' and can't quite figure out exactly why this may be. However, I am so determined to fully get back into it because I can recall of how happy it once made me feel. I know that sounds a little dramatic and overwhelming but for a long period of time, blogging was an escapism for me. It was a platform for me to share my interests and inspirations. It was my little world where the number of hits that I got on each post, or how many followers that I garnered were so irrelevant because my love for it was a lot more meaningful than that. I know that I'll get back into it, eventually. I don't want my blog to be predominantly based around fashion anymore and want to transform it into a platform where I can share my other interests and my journey in faith as well. Even if the contents are unrelatable for the majority of people who'll stumble across my posts, I'll find comfort in their authenticity and in the hope that it will be relevant to a few people. I think that's what matters the most.

Just to conclude, I thought I'd talk a little about this outfit as it's one of my favourites to wear over the Summer. Monochrome is one of my go to trends mainly because of its timeless and effortless qualities. I love the instant flirty twist that an off the shoulder top adds to an outfit and I've found that I'm more drawn to Bardot tops and anything quite loose fitting around the neck for this season, especially. The best part is knowing that this style can make the transition from Summer to Autumn and I've got aplenty of them folded neatly in my wardrobe. Hurrah!

Jacket- boohoo// Shirt- Select// Dress, Bag & Rings- H&M// Necklace c/o Stone & Armour // Shoes- Topshop

Well, well, well, long time no see, guys. I know I've been extremely absent from my blog and that it's been over two months (yikes) since my last post. I don't even think that anyone has missed my presence or even noticed my lack of posts, and I don't even have a valid reason for my absence. I guess I just got a hideous bloggers block and didn't have the energy or passion to find any relevant content for this little blog of mine.

I'll just leave you with this outfit post for the time being. I picked up this gorgeous dress from the H&M sale for just £4 and find that it's perfect for the humid weather that we've been having as of late. I've teamed the dress up with my most trusted boohoo fringed jacket, the cutest silver H&M rings and this gorgeous beaded necklace that was kindly sent to me by the lovely Laura from Stone & Armour. 

I hope you're all having a fantastic Summer and that you're enjoying whatever it is that you're all up to. I can't wait to have a catch up with you all. Hopefully, my next post will be dedicated to my time at Glastonbury a few weeks ago.

Fringe




Fringed Jacket- Boohoo// Top- Zara// Jeans- River Island// Bag- Next// Boots- eBay

Instant love at first sight when I saw this beautiful fringed jacket in the boohoo sale for just £8. Yes, £8. I woke up with the sunshine on my face and we've been blessed with the beautiful blue sky all day and yet, I insisted on wearing head to toe black. Don't ask. I have this beautiful, lacey cream dress from H&M that I've had for a while and I can't wait to pair it with this jacket when the weather is the most glorious. Sun, please don't leave.

Hope you've had a fabulous weekend.

Black & Gold

Top- Forever 21// Skirt- Boohoo// Boots- eBay

What's the festive period without injecting some sparkle and glitter into your outfit, eh? I picked up this gorgeous gold skirt from boohoo for just £4 in the sale last year. I wore this outfit on Christmas day because I wanted to blend in with the rest of the decorations.

Burgundy



Dress- Boohoo// Shirt- Charity Shop// Shoes- Boohoo

I wear this super sweet little number from Boohoo quite often so I'm not sure how/why I've never dedicated a blog post to it. Apart from the gorgeous burgundy colour and the most playful African inspired motifs, the subtle pleats and length are what drew me into buying the dress. Layering is one of my favourite Autumn trends and I can do just that with this dress. Today I decided to team it up with my proudest Charity shop purchase to date.
Also, I must apologise for my lack of posts lately. I've had a hideous cold and migraine and am still on the road to recovery. Hope you've all had a lovely week. Any plans for the weekend?

Eyes





Blazer- H&M// Shirt- Select// Skirt- H&M// Brooch- Forever 21// Shoes- Boohoo

Two months after buying this skirt and I'm still completely in love with it. It's not just the crazy Kenzo-esque eye motif that drew me in; the flattering cut and length also played a huge part. I have the littlest limbs so anything that's high waisted is a winner for me. The weather's been very pleasant today so I swapped my super thick winter coat in favour for this gorgeous plaid blazer from H&M. Such a sucker for a well fitted blazer too.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

Hey guys! Hope you're well. Just a quick post today. Made this mini Wishlist on my Polyvore just to show you (and make myself depressed) the lovely different items that I'm currently lusting after but can't afford. Shame! 

It's pretty obvious that dusky pink will be the most dominant colour trend for A/W 13 (thanks Unique!) 

Let me know which ones you like and if you have any similar items on your wishlists! :) 

Have a lovely evening!!

Pink and Black




Crop top- Primark £3.00 // Skirt- Mum's// Socks- Primark £1.50// Shoes- Boohoo £18// Necklace- Gift

I found this interesting little quote on instagram by Yohji Yamamoto: 'Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy- but mysterious.' This pretty much summed up why I used to dress head to toe in black. Maybe it was because I was quite a shy teenager growing up in a small little town in South Wales. Wearing all black was sort of a saviour for me; it allowed me to feel like I blended in in a place where I felt like I stood out like a sore thumb. This might be hard to believe as my past outfit posts have all been bright, colourful and clashing printed garments that have been finished off with on trend statement accessories. As I left school and went away for university, I enjoyed and appreciated fashion even more. I've enjoyed exploring different trends and styles that captivate me and allow me to express my emotions.

Anyway, apologies for that. I don't usually share such personal and thoughtful things on here haha. So on to this outfit. This lovely little baggy crop top was a perfect steal from Primark at just £3. You know I love a good bargain! I decided to team it with this gorgeous pink and black plaid skirt which belongs to my mum. I am so happy that plaids and tartan are in for A/W. Such a patriotic and lovely look that you can have some fun dressing up and down with. As it's getting a little chillier I decided to wear my frilly socks (also from Primark for £1.50- hey bargain #2)! You know this outfit wouldn't be complete without a statement piece of accessory. 

Thank you to my lovely boyfriend for taking these pictures :)

Hope you're having a lovely evening.

Hello September



Dress and Shoes- Boohoo// Lipstick- Papaya Punch by Sleek

Pinch, punch first of the month. I can't believe we've reached September already, so crazy. Although I've graduated and am no longer in education, Summer always feels like it's officially over for me once we're in September haha. Today I decided to catch some on some of Summer's last rays by wearing this very pretty floral print dress from boohoo. I managed to snap this beauty up for just £8 in their sale and paid only £18 for the cut out shoes. They are super comfortable to walk around in, believe it or not. Result!

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.

Brynmill Park












Shirt- Select// Skirt- Boohoo// Sandals- ASOS// Collar Pins- Scarlett Hearts

One of the most incredible feeling that you can get is being able to go back to a certain place that holds so many fond memories. I grew up in Swansea, South Wales, and I am incredibly lucky that I can go back and visit some of the old haunts in which I spent so much of my time at as a child. The most memorable and loved one being Brynmill Park which was just a minutes walk away from my old house. As the years have passed, the changes are indeed noticeable but the nostalgia  that the park holds for me remain very meaningful.
Anyway, sorry about that haha. I'll put my violin down and just talk about my outfit. I do apologise about the bad quality in the pictures as our visit to the park was pretty last minute and my boyfriend took these on my phone. If you've been reading my blog then you'll probably be sick to death of my beloved JuJu sandals and white cropped top, again my sincere apologies haha. I grabbed this skirt from boohoo for only £8 in the sale. I love the deep, ember tones and I'm sure that I can carry on wearing this skirt once we transition from Summer to Autumn. The pretty collar pins are from Scarlett Hearts and only cost me £4. I've linked them above so do have a little nose on their page, they sell the prettiest and quirkiest jewellery that will act as staple pieces to any outfit :)

Hope you're having a great bank holiday!!
