Autumn Style with Monsoon

<strong>Autumn Style with Monsoon</strong>

Autumn is by far my favourite season, not only does the landscape change to the most surreal orange and browns set against beautifully crisp days but the fashion, in my opinion, also flourishes. I’m so excited to have teamed up with Monsoon to explore some of their AW pieces and to share their new S.E.W capsule collection which is created using sustainable fabric alternatives, including responsibly sourced organic cotton and LENZING™ ECOVERO™, a planet-friendly alternative to viscose.

Summer Sale Edit

Summer Sale Edit

Over the last week I’ve been eyeing up lots of pieces in the summer sales and treated myself to a couple of bits that i’ve had on my wish list for a while. I love to browse the sales especially from the likes of Net, Matches, MyTeresa etc as its the perfect time to snap up some of those investment pieces you’ve had your eye on but at a much more palatable price! As well as fashion, there are also some amazing Home sales on at the moment, with our kitchen being fitted as we speak and our new wooden…

Dress like Marianne in Normal People

Dress like Marianne in Normal People

After watching the beautiful BBC adaptation of Normal People I felt utterly compelled to write a blog post about it.

I wanted to instead write a post focussing on Marianne’s wardrobe to pay homage to how it was brought to life so beautifully on screen. When you love a book you can’t help but build up an image of what the characters look like, down to their mannerisms and what they wear. Like…

What I’ve Been Reading

What I’ve Been Reading

Normal People – Sally Rooney ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I absolutely loved this book – at face value the premise suggests a potential ‘One Day’ theme of two heavily connected characters who can never quite make it work. But Rooney’s writing goes far deeper into the darkness of human emotions, social anxiety, class differences, parental neglect, personal identity, loneliness, isolation and depression. It cuts to the core and whilst the character can be frustrating and somewhat dislikable at times you can’t help but identify with them and feel their pain and turmoil, a credit to Rooney’s precise writing style…

Stay Home Edit

Stay Home Edit

Whilst the past few weeks and next few months are going to be incredibly hard in so many ways, I’ve been trying my best to push back negative thoughts and focus on the positives of this new way of living we find ourselves in. Whilst its tricky to change our lifestyle from fast paced and busy to staying at home, slowing right down and potentially feeling like we aren’t “achieving” much, we need to remember that the act of staying home is likely to be one of the most important things we will ever achieve because by doing so we…
