5 Ideas To Keep Smiling

7th March 2018

This time of year can suck. It’s cold, we’re all trying to keep to our New Year’s resolutions of spending less money and working out more and all we want to do is wear cute spring dresses and drink cocktails. Well, this is me anyway. But, alas, we can’t do all of these things all the time and I’m definitely not wearing a cute spring dress any time soon. I am the thermal queen and I am proud. So, I’ve been having a think about a few things that can still pop a smile on your face (or at least make you happy inside if you’re heartless like me) that are really simple! Read More

My 3 workwear style essentials

Fashion

4th March 2018

What does workwear mean to you? I mean, when I was little I always thought you had to either wear a uniform or a suit when you ‘got a job’ and obviously we know this isn’t true!

Workwear is only something that I’ve started to really think about now that I’ve moved to a slightly more professional office. Not gonna lie, I used to wear dungarees when I worked at UNiDAYS and it was totally normal. Now, I have a lot more client meetings and I don’t feel as productive if I’m not wearing what I class as my ‘workwear’. I feel like I’ve said ‘workwear’ way too many times now but let’s just roll with it shall we. I have three staples when it comes to getting dressed for the office and I wanted to share a little inspiration with you babes just in case you fancy a workwear wardrobe update! Read More

Fashion Lifestyle

14th February 2018

It’s my 25th birthday tomorrow and that sounds super old. I know it’s not really but you always say when you’re little “When I’m 25 I’ll have blah…” so it sounds like a serious age!

Here are 25 good things that I’m loving from the past year / things that I’ve learnt over the years. 25 is an age where you should *probably* have your shit together and I almost feel like I do!

11 pink and red Valentine’s ready style babes

Beauty Fashion

11th February 2018

Without it even being Valentine’s Day pink and red have been all over the high street recently! I for one am loving this combination that used to be a total fashion faux pas. Remember the days when pink and red should never have been seen together? Well, no more.

Basically, these days if you’re not wearing pink and red together, who are you? I posted this super cute Primark sweatshirt on my Instagram the other day (£5 might I add) which is baby pink with “Love Will Save Us” written on the front and it inspired me to seek out some other cute bargain-ous pieces from the great British high street. Everything is frilly, statement or textured and I love all of these piece. I hope you like ’em! Read More

My 10 essential iPhone apps for blogging

Lifestyle

4th February 2018

I love a bit of tech and fun apps so I wanted to share some of my can’t live without apps for blogging and Instagramming with you babes. Some are old favourites and are really obvious and some are new faves that I’ve only just discovered.

1. VSCO

VSCO is my go-to Instagram editing app. I find it the best for taking the warmth out of photos by using the temperature option and also I think their exposure setting is really nice too. I used to use C & G filters on my Instagram – I mix and match these because I cba with an actual theme because they seem to always look rubbish anyway even if I try. And, when I do try, I get stressed! So, I do use VSCO for Instagram cropping and editing and the occasional filter but I’ve got a new filters app to go on about in a little bit… Read More
