I thought it would be a fleeting trend that lingered for a couple of months, before drifting into our distant memory (like I hope neon will.. but that’s another story). However, here we are a couple fo years after their first appearance, still dipping our toes in and investing in various basket and straw bags. I’ve seen so many natural bags recently that I thought it would be nice to compile a list of my top high street and high end basket bags of the season so you don’t need to scroll endlessly through websites. The lowest price bag is £15 and the highest is £300 so there is something for everyone! JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate…

I’m pretty excited to be back to writing on the regular and can’t wait to share some of my coming posts with you. The posts were meant to start from the 1st January but with the absolute chaos in my inbox, the slight postponing was needed. But that being said, its crazy how much you can miss the tapping of a keyboard and that fast brain waffle while you frantically try to convey the words before they’ve flickered through your mind.. Anyway, today we are going back to basics and talking about the timeless pieces that I’m beginning to invest into. As I grow older, I’m beginning to realise the importance of my personal style rather than being completely…

Following on from my last Autumn trends of 2018 post featuring gothic layering, its about time that I got around to the second of the five trends. This time? We’re talking cycle shorts. The trend we all love to hate but can’t stop wearing.. I’ll be honest, when I first saw the Kardashians walking around in sweatshirts and cycle shorts.. I didn’t think it would take off. . However, looking to the street style of right now? Cycle shorts are definitely one of the biggest Autumn trends for 2018 are everywhere as much as we all love to hate them. I’m quite late to the trend as it took me a while to fully commit and even now I’m still limiting myself to plain black in a style that works for me.. This outfit is quite a simple…
Is there anything better than going for a trip without really leaving the home comforts? As much as I love venturing out and exploring new countries, I’m a sucker for a little adventure on British soil. I headed on a little trip last week to enjoy the seaside, get a few snaps and finally embrace the beachfront heaven that is Brighton. Most people know it for the pebble beach or vintage shopping in the lanes – but for me it’s the epitome of a British seaside town. It goes without saying that you probably want some of the top Instagram locations, and I don’t blame you. Brighton has so many different corners that any photographer could go crazy over. And as I spent two days exploring the city, it only seemed right to share a mini city guide with my four favourite things to do – and the outfits that…
Did you really go to Chiang Mai if you didn’t get a tuk tuk? Because are you really a blogger doing the above if there isn’t picture proof? No, #DoItForTheGram. The vlog of my trip to Chiang Mai with PANDORA is over on my YouTube channel but I have a few more posts to share with you from my short trip to Chiang Thailand. I decided to dedicate an entire post to our day of exploring because we visited temples, shopped in a local street market and got a tuk tuk around the old town. It was basically ‘how to Thailand in a day’ and its given me an itch to get back out there as soon as possible to explore some more. Heads up: I’d never been to South East Asia before this trip so I apologise if this is a complete gap year Brit’s explanation of Thailand.…
Oh, hello there. Its been a hot minute, hasn’t it. As much as I love London, I’m so sad to say that I’m back from South Africa – my second home. I’ve spent most of the last two years there with Adrian‘s family but the most recent trip was definitely my favourite. We filled it with adventure, relaxation and lots of happiness which you can see on the vlogs and instagrammed the whole trip, but couldn’t resist throwing a lookbook in there too. Obviously I couldn’t share all 21 outfits because that would have been the worlds longest lookbook. Instead, I picked my favourite six to share in the post, keeping a range of trends and new-in items (ps – haul video with all my new summer clothes here). I’m a sucker for high street style so almost everything is under £50 making it suuuuper affordable for you to add to your…
Meet my mum, Maggie. The woman who gave me the crazy love for a cup of tea, unique laugh, sense of humour and inability to stop talking – but also gave me a sense of style. When I was growing up, I remember always being worried that Iʼd end up with my mums distinct laugh or cringe at some of her jokes – but both of these things are now traits of hers that make up a big part of who I am. And in all cliche, she is a big inspiration of mine. My mum has always worked hard and put herself first. Sheʼs been around the world living in a campervan for weeks at a time and even ran her first marathon in her fifties. Sheʼs basically a pint sized superwoman – but maybe Iʼm biased. As much as I eye roll when she tells me about her…
My online voice. Hmm. I’ve pondered over how to begin this post for a few weeks now. On this particular occasion, I’ve been sat at the kitchen table so long that my coffee mug is empty and my inbox has been checked more times than I could count (and its still giving me the little red bubble of doom to tell me I’m not finished). But I’m still not down to the actual writing.. I guess you could say that I’ve had writers block, or just paid mind to the fact that blogging feels like its dying. Over the last few years everything has changed – evolved into a hybrid of its former self. Blogging isn’t what it used to be but that doesn’t mean it needs to fade out completely and the realisation that I shouldn’t stop doing something I love just because I worry more about whether or not its…
It isn’t often that Adrian and I are in pictures together. Usually one of us is behind the camera trying to get the perfect shot. Last week Ashford Designer Outlet invited us down to shop for our outfits to wear on Valentines Day. I’ll stop here and just mention that we aren’t the conventional ‘lets go out for dinner after you’ve given me flowers’ kind of couple and much prefer a night out or burger in bed. However, for a cocktails and dancing kinda night you still need to look good.. right? I bet you’re wondering what we brought, right? I’ll start with the absolute mens outlet game changer. All Saints stock leather jackets year round and Adrian had been eyeing up a biker style for ages, so when we found this one for £138 (way under half of the full retail price of £350).. it was pretty much love…
Oh, hi there. It has been a long time since I sat down to write a post. Picking up my online presence has been harder than you’d think recently. Being a blogger gives the automatic assumption that I can pump out content like a crazy workaholic and permanently have words flowing but thats definitely not the case. Writing posts can be a struggle and it often feels like nobody actually cares about what I have to say. Lets be honest, I don’t get a stack of retweeted posts or recommended to your mums friends daughter.. but I’m working on it. For now we’re going to lighten the mood and talk about some new addictions and old favourites. You know, keeping it real. The post about the above rambles is coming soon..

I’ve spent weeks feeling like such a moaning myrtle and feeling sorry for myself and the cause is genuinely a social media app. Ridiculous isn’t it. It might sound like a giant millennial moan but with the nature of my job, it’s difficult not to get sucked into the numbers game (or the instagram algorithm) and feel as though nobody likes you because of a few numbers on a phone screen. Instagram is quite a touchy spot for bloggers at the moment with instagram algorithm and other factors messing with follower engagement (and ultimately, our business). It sometimes feels like an endless battle when your quality improve and you’re actively being nice to others but see no real ‘reward’ from something that used to give you a sense of instant gratification.
