Last Year in the Botanics


So I haven’t been posting in a while. This blog is basically dead and my instagram is pretty much ignored. If you for some reason are still here from before (first of all, thanks for sticking around) you may be wondering what happened to me. I’d like to say that my life got very busy with working as many hours as I could and getting ready for university, but that’s not really the full truth. In reality leading up to moving away from home for the first time to go to a university that wasn’t really where I wanted to be, I became very anxious. This in turn made me become more self-conscious, and even though I took photos for my blog (these photos are from last August) I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t stupid to write and what’s the point of all this anyway, I'm just stupid etc. etc.


It came to a complete standstill when I went off to university. Being around new people who all seemed more grown up and put together than me was a big knock to my confidence. It took me a while before I became comfortable in my own skin again.


I decided a while back to start posting again but it took me a while to get around to it. These photos are from a while back but I still really like the outfit. Even though my style has changed slightly, this is still something I would wear. The shirt has become a bit of a staple in my wardrobe. I love the print and the crop just looks so cute with anything high-waisted or my growing collection of pinafores and dungarees.


I'm going to be posting more again but I probably won’t stick to a set time. I already have 3 posts ready and plan take more photos the next few weeks. So if you’re interested I’d recommend following me on Bloglovin’ or Instagram so you know when I post something.

    The polka dots and leather mix so well :) I love your name too! I know a family friend named Bronwyn and I have always loved it. Have a great day!

    I hope you're feeling better. I know how crazy and overwhelming university is and can tell you how massively things improve over time. Love these cute photos, especially in the botanical setting <3

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 f...

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, wh...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

I may or may not have forgotten that I was supposed to post last week, so here is the post: So when I was in Northern Ireland the weather was perfect so I got a few pictures of my outfits. This dress reminded me of Donaghadee when I bought it and it was only right that I took pictures of it there. So I managed to get down to Donaghadee; the weather was lovely and we didn’t expect it to last that long, and I was about to start taking pictures with my DSLR when I noticed that I had very cleverly left my memory card at the house. So here are my improvised-with-my-phone-while-old-ladies-were-staring-at-me outfit pictures! When I was taking the pictures I kept finding more and more things that matched my dress. It was defiantly made for Donaghadee! I’m wearing Dress from Yumi on sale in House of Frazer for £30 Cardigan from Primark tights from Primark shoes from Primark on sale for £6 Bag from Accessories on sale for £6 Today I’m listening to: ...
