Spring OOTD


Hey guys!

Loving the weather we've been having today so I thought I would do a quick OOTD style blog post for those days it's not-too-hot and not-too-cold. Finding this dress from Asos really easy to chuck on with anything recently. I love fashion and dabbling with prints but I'm actually pretty low-maintenance when it comes to getting dressed. Mostly, I just chuck on whatever and hope for the best. You will likely find me wearing polka dots, stripes, chokers and usually a statement boot.


This wrap around dress is not typically something I would go for but I love the colours and you can't go wrong with stripes in my opinion (I'm a little bit too obsessed). I bought this dress a while ago but you know those outfits you sort of forget about and then you're reunited and it feels so good? Yeah, well now I can't get enough of it and I'm wearing the shit out of it. I think it's perfect for Spring where you can layer it up or wear it on its own. (In a lot of these photos you will notice Lewis taking pictures of me in the shadow... he has no choice but to be dedicated to the Instagram Boyfriend role).



The weather has been pretty bipolar recently but today was super sunny with a lil mix of wind, which is where my trustworthy faux fur comes in handy. To be fair, it was way too hot for this coat but it looked cute so I risked melting for it. This coat is a pretty old buy too, but super affordable from Missguided. If you haven't checked out Missguided's website, I highly recommend it. It's my go-to for cheap and cheerful outfits and the coats are of really good quality.

 


I'm forever wearing chokers. I honestly feel bare if I don't wear one now! This chunky choker from prettylittlething.com was a steal, you can get chokers super cheap anywhere these days to be fair. Primark are babes for chokers- not very good quality mind, but good for a couple of uses. If I'm not wearing a choker, i'm usually wearing a turtle neck.


I'm not a hat person, they don't suit me at all but I love this style of hat and it was only a few squid from Primark so I'm trying to make it work. I wish hats suited me, I'd love to wear beanies for days I can't be arsed to do my hair or in the winter wrapped up looking snug, but instead I just end up looking like an egg.






I haven't worn a backpack in so long as I usually just chuck my satchel-style bag across my
shoulder but since I mainly use that for work, I've just started wearing my faux leather backpack again and I forgot how comfy they are. This one was from River Island a while back, a lil bit pricey if I remember correctly but it's definitely seen its moneys worth. The only thing I don't like about RI bags is that some of them have the 'RI' tag on them and I find that a little tacky but as I said it's lasted me for years so I can't complain. One of the main reasons I like wearing my backpack is because I rarely take it off my back, I'm forever saying to Lew "can you please put this in my bag for me?", mwahaha.











I just went for some boring black boots today because I couldn't be bothered to wear heels and find some to go with the pattern on this dress but I still love these trustworthy Truffle bad boys.

Enjoy the sun people, lord knows it won't last long!

I want to write about you

I want to write. I want to write about you, about us. My mind is so busy, my heart is so full and yet the words won't come out how I want them to. I want to do our love justice.  Heartbreak. I honestly believe this is the hardest thing I have ever been through and the most significant event in my life so far. And the pain - the pain is so real. I feel this empty void in the space where you used to be. Sounds so dramatic but the complete and utter numbness you've left is unbearable.  When you go through a break up, you think you'll know what to expect. I've been through it all before and I don't doubt i'll go through it again. It gets worse every time. Each time a little more of you gets taken away, each time you become a little more vulnerable and your walls go up a little higher.  When we were together, I used to imagine being without you but you can never emotionally prepare yourself for it until it actually happens, and of course you never imagine ...

The art of carrying on

This blog post isn't about anything in particular as such, but I just had one of those moments of realisation as I was packing all of my room away ready for the Summer that awaits me. I realised that sometimes carrying on is the most important thing to do, simply just carrying on. You may be thinking, "what on earth is she on about" or even "well, of course it's important to carry on!" but I realised that this really can be the answer to anything. This year has tested me more than any other. I've been thrown curve balls that no one should have to deal with. As well as this, there is the stress of work, which ultimately everyone has to deal with at some stage in their lives. This whole Uni experience has been a massive learning curve, naturally. But also aside from academic work also comes my own personal achievements. Although I am not yet the person I want to be, or even the person I was, I am still learning. And I think that alone is amazing. That ever...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in heartbreak

Hey! So, the other day I read through some of my older posts and realised that a lot of them are about my ex (too many of them)- that was by no means my intention but it just so happens that a lot of what I want to say and a great deal of what I have learnt recently is because of that break up, I thought I should clarify that. I think it's wrong of people to say you shouldn't post about a certain topic.. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't publish? If it helps me then who are you to tell me to stop doing that? And now, amazingly, not only is it helping me but other people too. It's like if I was to post a picture of myself naked (besides the fact I wouldn't do that.. TT's on Tumblr don't count..), say, because I was having a "good body day", should people not see that and think "good on you!" (okay, admittedly at first you'd be like, what.. but you have to commend them on their bravery) because even if it seems effortless for ...
