This is why I'm not a fashion blogger

Just look at me, look how hopeless I am. I feel sorry for myself now, for thinking that these jeans with those shoes look okay. I'm actually a laughing stock, and I don't care because looking at myself now I want to burst into laughter myself! Ahhh, how I'm glad I'm a lifestyle blogger, I don't think I was ever meant to go down the line of fashion that's for sure! For all I know, I could look fabulous, but in my eyes it's plain to see that I'm a little old mess who should stay in my bedroom in the comfort of my baggy Primark pyjama bottoms and dirty over sized shirts. But I tell you one thing that this has taught me, it's taught me that I'm doing the best thing that's right for me, and that I'm not trying to be something I'm not. Yes I may have tried to take a photo so I could do a cute little fashion post, but it just turns out I'm not cut out for that. My niche is lifestyle, and I cant try and force myself to be someone I'm not. If you're a blogger whose thinking of venturing out into a different niche, like fashion, lifestyle, beauty etc. I'd say go for it! But don't do something that isn't about who you are or what you enjoy. I love the beauty of makeup and how I can transform my face in different ways, but I could never be a beauty blogger because it's not something I'm absolutely passionate about. I'm following the path that leads to my happiness and so should you! I don't even know where I'm going with this anymore and I've rambled enough. Just be yourself I guess is what I'm trying to say. Any whom, I'll post the other two pictures for you to see, I mean they're not terrible, but fashion blogging is not for me (:

Thanks to my friend Sophie for taking the photos though, your photo skills are fabulous, where as I am not. You can follow Soph on Instagram here.

What's your blogging niche and why did you choose it?

Much love,

A blessing from the skirt gods.

The best thing happened the other day. A blessing. Mum went up in the loft to fetch my old school clothes for my little sister, then passed me over a skirt she found up there from when I was ickle. When I looked at it, I swear my jaw dropped. You know those denim skirts that're all the rage right now?  Yeah well, I reaaaaallllly wanted one. However, I didn't think they'd look good on my wide hips or suit my body shape at all. The struggle. So when my mum brought THIS baby down:

I ALMOST FLIPPED! I loved it so much, but I was absolutely sure it wouldn't fit! When I had this skirt when I was younger, I hated it and thought it was the most ugliest thing. Despite this, once they were in my hands, I was in love and jokingly tried it on, expecting the worst. But the worst didn't happen, and surprisingly, IT FIT! I have no clue how because I'm like 5ft 8, and even though its a teeny bit short due to my long legs (but opaque black tights do the trick), it fits like a glove and suits my figure perfectly.(must be some type of voodoo magic.) I've been all heart eyed emoji over it since. Thank you skirt gods for your gift, thank you.

How do you feel about the denim skirt trend? Will you be rocking it this Autumn?
Much love,

My autumn wishlist 2015

Today's the first day of September!! How exciting!!! Even though Autumn doesn't officially start till September 23rd Astronomically, it already feels like Autumn here in England and it makes me feel gooey and happy inside. There are many many many things this season that I would love to buy and cradle against my body. But unfortunately as the saying goes, money does not grow on trees. Never the less I managed (just about) to wriggle it down to my top 6 pieces that I crave to have in my wardrobe this Autumn.

1. Turtleneck jumper- £22.00
Turtlenecks and I get along like a house on fire. There's just something about them that makes me love the way they look on me. I always feel better about myself when I'm rocking a turtleneck and I find the fit and colour of this one beautiful. They would also match my new loafers, which I consider a big bonus.Give me all the turtlenecks!!

2. Denim pinafore- £30.00
When I was younger I used to have a pretty little denim pinafore. I thought I was the bomb diggity. But then as I grew up, although it still fit me, I found it ugly and repulsive so I never wore it again. Here I am years later gawping over a pinafore from ASOS and wishing I had it in my life. I'm sorry for betraying you old pinafore, you were beautiful really! :'(

3. Baseball tee- £19.00
I freaking LOVE baseball tees! The simplicity of them and how casual they look is my reason for loving them so much. They can go with just about anything, but isn't just your bog standard plain t'shirt. I'm especially feeling  the colour of this one, because of the autumnal vibe to it. Gimme.

4. Plaid flannel- £30.00
It's a necessity for me to have something over sized that you can throw over an yourself when it's not that warm to pull an outfit together. Flannels do the job perfectly, and this one is beautiful. Oh how I wish it was mine.

5. Buckled Boots- £25.00
These boots are so autumnal I want to scream!! And look at the price tag! I thinks boots at that price are so affordable, and during Autumn/Winter I don't think I'd have them off my feet. One think that satisfies me the most about boots are the clonk noises they make as you walk. Clonk clonk clonk. I want these boots for fashion purposes as well as clonk purposes.

6. Yellow Parka- £150.00
I left this one till last, not just because it is my favorite, but due to the scarily large price tag. And that's £60 already off the original price. Scary I know. I already have a parka but I've grown to hate it. Why? Because it's green and everyone has one. But this one however, I have not seen being worn by every person who lives. This excites me. If only I had a spare £150 that I could splash out on. Maybe one day.

That's all folks! Which piece was you favourite and what're you wishing for this Autumn?
Much love,
