3 SIMPLE WAYS TO KICK THOSE LOW MOODS

I posted an image on my Instagram stories last night of myself in Paris two years ago. From the outside it probably looks like I’m having a fabulous time but on the inside I was going through what I can say has been the worst part of my life so far. I captioned the image ‘Paris March 2017 – I quit my job, my relationship, my life and started all over again. Do you ever wish you could go back in time and tell yourself it’s all going to be fine?’ I remember being in such a sad place. I’m…

PARTYWEAR WITH MARKS & SPENCER

It’s that time of year when shopping lists are drawn up, presents are bought and we’re constantly asked to reveal what it is we want. It’s human nature to long for things we don’t have or lust after what others have that sometimes we forget all the amazing things we have in our lives. I’m very lucky as a blogger to receive a lot of amazing things through the post which I’ve never taken for granted, especially as I started with pretty much nothing. The one thing about my job that I’m very grateful for is that it put materialism…

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED

Stuck in a rut, fed up, exhausted – these are all feelings we’ve encountered somewhere along the way. Me too! I think it’s possibly the most normal thing to experience these slumps in life so don’t beat yourself up too much! I wanted to share with you how I tend to pull myself out of a motivational slump! First things first – ditch anything addictive. For me that’s caffeine, chocolate & alcohol. When I’m feeling fed up I will drink 30 cups of tea a day, swap my Freddo for a king size and instead of drinking socially I…

HOW TO STYLE TIGHTS FOR SPRING

Spring is one of my favourite fashion seasons. It’s when we say goodbye to the dark winter tones and refresh our closets with floral pastel shades. Two of my favourite brands Chloé and Zimmermann really nail the Spring vibe with all their floaty floral numbers. However let’s face it – in British climates braving bare legs isn’t something I tend to do until mid summer. So tights are a perfect way to wear floaty dresses and cute skirts without freezing. Falke is a German brand that make high quality thermals and can be found in big department stores like Selfridges…

THE GLAM LIFE

“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” – Oscar Wilde I’m not sure Oscar Wilde knew anything about sparkly jackets or killer heels but his words still remain my everyday mantra. I’m a girl that is rarely seen in flats – heels for me give a presence that elevates a look from ordinary to glam. I for one love the glam life! I’ve been hit massively by the January blues this year – I kick started the year really ill which gave me zero motivation! So when I’m having those down days I always like to get overdressed almost to…

IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME

Why I’m done with dating. I’ve never been one to date, I find the whole thing ridiculously awkward. From the handful of dates I’ve been on I’ve either had to take a shot of vodka to force myself out the door or simply make a quick exit halfway through. It’s always baffled me because I’m not a shy person, I can pretty much talk for England so why is it when asked on a date I freeze like a bunny in headlights waiting to be run over. The last date I went on I cancelled dinner reservations and told him…

DESK TO DINNER WITH WALLIS FASHION

Party season is upon us and with that comes the overhanging question of what to wear to the office party! This blog post is about desk to dinner and how to switch up your look for those last days at work or the dance floor. One of the most asked questions on my YouTube channel is always how tall I am. Most people think I’m tall and shocked when I say I’m 5ft 4. Most things I can get away with but dresses I always opt for the petite range if I can. So I picked up a couple of…

HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT WINTER COAT

Yes, I am a woman with many coats in my closet! I like them in all shapes, colours, sizes so there’s one to fit any occasion. However out of the many coats I do have I always find myself honing in on one time and time again as a fail safe option. Year after year that fail safe option is always coincidently from Superdry. You may remember my grey jacket I refer to as my flying jacket because it’s the softest, comfiest, warm but smart looking coat I’ve ever worn. It’s easy to see Superdry as an athlesiure brand but…

LONDON FASHION WEEK

Okay, okay, I know it’s been a while, but hopefully you should be reading this on my brand new blog! Yes welcome to my new home and it probably explains my little absence for a little while. A blog overhaul was long overdue as I’d never actually invested any money into the design before (except for the domain). I’ve been blogging full time now since March and I thought it was about time I blogged in a place I was happy with and hopefully you’ll be happy here too. It would be wrong of me to blame the whole blog…
