My current favourites + wishlist wants!

As we all know, I'm admittedly addicted to all things fashion and makeup related, so in light of that... I thought that I'd keep you updated with what I'm currently liking or wishing I had (not that I need any more things though!) Now I'm never off websites like ASOS, New Look, Boohoo etc... and with all that time spent, I've created a fair few wish lists of items I would love (but can't afford or justify) to add to my collection. Jumpsuits are my new favourite thing... what's easier than being able to throw on one of these and look as if you've spent ages on deciding what to wear!? There's one thing which I have to say I am rather intrigued with, and that's culottes. I never used to see the point in wearing trousers that simply looked too short, but now I'm a fan!? Major turn around right here that's for sure. I think because there is so many different types and styles that I'm willing to give them a go... Anot...

Black + Pink with Bubble Tea!

What a beautiful day my friend Kathleen and I had in Edinburgh last week. The sun was shining (even though it was very windy!) we took a walk up Calton Hill just for a change. I have to say you forget what a beautiful city Edinburgh is until your standing at one of the highest points overlooking everything. This was also the day that we decided to go to Tempo Tea Bar (Market Street, Edinburgh) and try our first ever Bubble Tea. And what an experience that was! Kathleen had a fruit tea, whereas I tried a Melon Mix milk tea (and they do soya milk which is bloody brilliant for people like me!!) I highly recommend that place and I shall be going back! I didn't really put much thought into this outfit however I received constant compliments on how well coordinated I looked... In all honesty, I looked like a stereotypical "hipster" but I was okay with that for once! I have always wanted to own a pair of dungarees and I purchased these last year from New Lo...

What I'm Wearing This Autumn / Winter

Image
This past year has really been the point where I have began to think more about how I chose my personal style and what I'm really interested in when it comes to what I'm going to have in my wardrobe. Fashion "trends" can change as fast as a click of a designer's finger. Whether they completely revamp their ideas, or even just a simple change of colour, be sure that everyone who's following them will know. Now, just to make this clear. I don't know all the ins and outs of fashion, I'm sure by now that is pretty obvious. However, the reason I write these kind of posts is because I think that in doing so, I get to research and pass on what I have found, maybe even what I have tried and things I've liked etc. In keeping with that idea, here are my Autumn / Winter 2016 thoughts... Firstly, everyone has their own fashion vice... Whether it be having a humongous hoard of heeled boots, a colossal collection of coats and jackets or a vast array of V...

Are you summer ready?

When it comes to summer, everyone always has the same thoughts going through their head... "Bring on the tanning weather!" , "I'm going on holiday very soon!" but the most prominent thought is "Am I summer ready?" Now, when we say being "summer ready", it can mean different things to different people. To some, it's an ideal weight or body shape being achieved so they can look their best, and to others it means having that perfect wardrobe to cope with whatever summer weather throws at them.    In my opinion, being "summer ready" means that you are at a point where being comfortable in your own skin is your main priority, no matter what society pushes in your face. If you're happy, then that's all that matters. If you're a size 8 and happy, then that's great. The same goes for if you're a size 28 and happy. Your size doesn't define how ready you are for summer!      Because of body positivity, ev...
