Cute Christmas Cocktail Outfit

Hey everyone!

We're half way through December and guess what? It's Christmas soon!! Am I the only one who feels this year has just flown?

Anyway, since turning the big 18, I've been out a fair bit getting myself into the Christmas spirit! So I guess I thought I'd share with you one of my 'going out for cocktails' outfits...

Faux Fur Boxy Gilet - Topshop £65

Long Sleeved Turtle Neck - New Look £15

Leather Shorts - Zara £20

Stone Contrast Faux Fur Bar Top Bag - New Look £19.99

Necklace - A Mystery...

This beautiful fur gilet is perfect for keeping me cosy and toasty in this freezing December weather! I bought it last year in petites as I preferred the more cropped fit. I couldn't resist buying this adorable little fur bag to match the cream fur; it's surprisingly spacious too! Teamed with black leather shorts and a pastel turtle neck, I feel it's a good cute yet edgy combo (ahah!). I thought this pretty pearly necklace finished it all off; although because it is a birthday prezzie, I have no idea where it is from!

Hope you're all as excited for Christmas as I am!

Speak soon!

Aus Adventure: Welcome to Travel

Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well during these very strange times. I am currently living at Spot X Surf Camp on the East Coast of Australia during the COVID 19 pandemic. It’s a weird feeling being at the other side of the world during all of this madness, but I figured I would use this time to reflect on my Australian journey. I’m sure there are so many people so eager to travel when all of this is over, so I thought I’d return to my blog and write up a cheeky post reflecting on my first couple of weeks in Melbourne pre-lockdown. I always knew I wanted to work and travel in Australia, but I just had no idea where to even start with organising it, especially seeing as I knew I was travelling on my own (scary times). I remember googling ‘tours around Australia’ and it just felt like there were so many different things that popped up that all seemed to say the same thing, leading me to feel more lost with it all. I’ve done lots of travelling before, but I alwa...

Summer Ballin'

Hey Everyone! So it's the start of July... which means it's finally the start of SUMMER!!! What better way to get the party started than with an end of Sixth Form Summer Ball eh? Yes, you guessed it, in this post I'm going to share with you what I wore to my leavers' ball... Arguably to many girls, finding the perfect prom dress is like trying to find a four-leaf clover; many girls try so hard to find it, but some end up giving up and going for that dress that 'will do' (or in this case, the clover with three leaves with one split in half to make it look like four...). Other girls however are lucky, and find it straight away. My ball dress, I feel, was my four-leaf clover. I was scrolling through the ASOS website not expecting to find anything I liked, but as soon as I saw this dress, I knew it was the one. Because my ball was at the beginning of July in the Museum Gardens in the centre of York, I wanted something that was pretty, y...

The things that change when you go to Newcastle University

Hello Everyone, As a Uni student who overthinks a LOT, there have definitely been moments where I've reflected on my time AT University, but also the time BEFORE. After a mental two years, I thought I'd write a little post for you, all about the things that I feel change when you go to Uni. The first is... fashion When you go to University, your fashion gets lazier, and you find yourself walking sluggishly to your lectures in the comfiest leggings you can find, the biggest and most baggy jumper you can get hold of, your gazelles, and no makeup. I am fully guilty of this. For some reason though, on a night out in Newcastle, it seems acceptable to go out in pretty much exactly the same thing, but with more makeup, your Calvin Klein's underneath and the addition of a cap (even though it's night time). Again, I am guilty of this, as shown below. At the end of second year, I noticed that pretty much every other person walking round Jesmond was wearing either a bom...
