Pretty, Pastel & Patent

I think I've found my spring-time staple. I have fallen in love with these adorable vintage-style shoes from Office. The buckle fastening and punch-hole detail are just so cute, whilst the pale pastel pink colour is perfect for the season leading up to summer. Despite initially seeing these shoes and thinking, 'oh my gosh they are adorable... but they are gonna kill my feet', they were just too lovely to leave and have been surprisingly comfortable. I love to wear them with pretty frilly socks (Topshop's are my favourite!), and ankle grazer jeans for 6th form, however I'm also planning to dress them up with either a cute dress or pencil skirt to wear out. Although these shoes are quite pricey, they are so versatile and beautiful and worth every penny!

I have also recently bought some beautiful mint green sandals from Topshop for summer. As soon as I saw them I just had to have them. I like how they're sandals, but they still cover my toes (I don't like to show my toenails in Summer!) so I thought they were perfect! I'm so excited to wear them when we get better weather in the UK (hopefully)!

My pastel obsession is forever growing...

Pastel Pink Perfection

Hey everyone! So the other week I was scrolling through the Missguided website and found this beauty... What can I say? It's got the faux fur lining, the silky suede fabric, and the pastel pink colour. It had my name written all over it, so of course, I had to buy it. As soon as I opened the package when it arrived, I snuggled myself into the super soft fabric and genuinely felt like a teddy bear. I've already had so many compliments on this beautiful jacket and I've only worn it twice! I can already tell it's going to be my Autumn/Winter staple. I was initially supposed to be looking for a practical coat for Winter, but given the option between practical or pastel? It's a no brainer ;) Let's just hope it doesn't rain!

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...

Why Instagram is the worst app to be addicted to...

Hey Everyone! So today in the midst of essays, exams and revision, I figured I would write a post about the app that makes our thumbs sore from scrolling, the biggest form of procrastination yet, and the friend we all love but also hate. Yep, you've got it, I am going to put my hands in the air (or on the keyboard) and have a rant about Instagram. Firstly, I have an Instagram addiction. I have always been a lover of the ol' gram. I love capturing moments and making them look as pretty as possible, even if that does mean photos looking staged or unrealistic. I've always loved sharing memories with the world, liking my friends' photos, and even exploring the accounts of other creative people, and following them like I've known them my whole life. It honestly felt like I'd gained an award when Dr. Martens requested for one of my pictures to be posted on their official account. I was buzzing like a bee. However, recently I've found myself not enjoying Inst...
