A Spring in my Step




So you may have noticed that I didn’t post at all last week. I was visiting family in Northern Ireland but it meant that I had no internet connection. I’ll have to do a longer roundup of my 365 day project sometime this week but I thought my outfit post was probably more urgent so I posted this first. To make up for my absence, I’m going to post some pictures up on my side blog because it is feeling pretty neglected. Also, if my editing skills allow it, there should be a video up on myYouTube channel soon. 



There is something I’ve noticed with spring. I don’t know if it’s to do with the workload from school from February to March or the fact decisions on what we do the next year happen in this time or if it’s just the lack of sunlight but I always feel really down between New Years and Easter. I can go from being slightly existential to being cheery again as soon as the days get longer and the flowers start to come out again. This year I even managed to pinpoint it to a couple of days after the clocks changed. Just as soon as I got used to waking up an hour earlier, I was fine.



I was originally going to take these pictures in the middle of a forest but I hadn’t thought it through enough and only 10 minutes down the road my shoes and jeans were caked in mud. So this was a kind of grubby take two.



I am really glad I am out of my flump though as I get disproportionally excited about things when I’m cheery. For example, I was in Sainsbury’s the other day and I saw these shoes. I seem to only own boots at the moment and was thinking about getting a pair of converse before the summer came into full swing. Really the only reason I haven’t done this yet was because I couldn’t decide if I wanted plain ones that would go with anything or be more individual and get a cool, bold pair that may look a bit too much with certain things. These silver shoes have kind of satisfied my urge to buy bold converse and have made the decision slightly easier. 


I need to stop gushing about clothes on this blog….

Plaid coat from Modcloth on sale for £19
Jumper from Next I got on eBay something like £5

Raccoons and Ringlets

After we went swimming the other day, I just let my hair dry naturally. This produced what has been dubbed as my “triangle hair”. My hair usually curls tighter when I leave it, but I’ve been straightening it a lot more often and it seems to have melted my hair or something because the last couple of times it was just straight frizz. The lighting is terrible in all these pictures so if I look a little red that’s why. The jumper I'm wearing is from the men’s section. I find that guy’s jumpers are a lot warmer and the neck-line is so high, you don’t need a scarf. In Primark specifically, the men’s jumpers seem to be less itchy and wash a lot better as they don’t shrink as badly. The styles are usually very similar to the woman’s and they seem to be in more muted colours which is something I particularly like.      I'm wearing: Jumper from Primark (they are  usually  £6 but I managed to get mine at the start of summer for £3.)

A Storm in a Teacup

So the other day I was out shopping with my friend when I saw this dress and got a bit over excited. It was long enough to go past my knees! Being something like 5’10, dresses that are long enough on other people are always too short on me. So many of the dresses I have, I have to wear with leggings or even skinny jeans. So the fact this dress wasn’t just long enough, but went past my knees was a novelty. It’s really pretty too, these pictures don’t show the top of it but it has a 1940’s sort of feel to it. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it with my arms out.    The iso is a bit high in some of these pictures as the sun was setting so half of them are a bit grainy. I didn’t realise this at the time and even though I kind of like the effect, it would have been better if they all looked the same. Oh well, I will just have to remember this for next time. I also went a bit mad in Primark and I have filmed a video on what I bought, which I’ll

A New Year

So another year has come to an end and I don’t have much to reflect back on. Yes, I have grown more in this year than any other, but there haven’t been any specific things that I am proud of and I’ve came nowhere near completing my resolutions. This year instead of setting resolutions that I conveniently forget within the month, I am going to make ones that I will have to stick to. For starters, my mother and I are going to start an exercise class and drag the other to it. I'm going to try and vary my hair and makeup more and include them in my blog posts. I'm also going to do a 365 project where I take a picture every day. To make sure I’m doing this, I will post them to my Instagram. Hopefully this will make me improve my photos because let’s face it; they’re all pretty bad right now.  These photos are of my outfit from this New Year’s Eve taken on my phone as the connector for the proper camera has broken, so they are all a bit blurry. We had a very casual “party
