A Kilt, A Train And A Blue Sky

If I had a penny for every time I have visited this train station, my pockets would be filled with shiny coins. There's just something about old-fashioned steam engines and how they have retired to the tracks to relax and rust. January can be a very 'meh' month, so to speak. Still in the limbo of Christmas, but with everyone slowly increasing their energy levels and achieving their resolutions. For me it is definitely a month to reflect and stroll, a lot! Winter walks are my absolute favourite. It is as if with each stride comes a new thought and for me that is the magic of this 'meh' month. So each time I myself, come back to this train station, I breathe a sigh of relief that this is where my imagination can chug along.

This kilt was a gift from my mum for Christmas, we had been searching high and low in all kinds of charity shops and vintage corners for months- but alas, all we could find were pleated ones that unfortunately were never in my size. So you can imagine how gleeful my face was when I opened this tartan treasure on Christmas morning. Although, I had no idea a piece of cotton was just making itself at home on the skirt throughout these pictures- but what can you do? :)

Next weekend my boyfriend and I are off to Paris for a couple of days, it is the first proper little holiday we have had together, so I am ever so excited to be visiting one of my favourite cities again. I haven't been since 2010, which in my head sounds like that year was five minutes ago...but actually it is nearly a decade ago. If anyone has any great recommendations of what to see or where to eat, I would absolutley love to hear them.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Lots of love always

Hey my lovelies,

So, I am sure you have all seen the 'Archive by Alexa' collection, a collaboration between Alexa Chung and Marks and Spencer. I'm sure I am not alone in saying that I wasn't too sure what to expect from the highly spoken of ensemble of pieces that came out last month. But, when I saw this Harry Blouse, with its frills and thrills, I couldn't help myself. I chose the blouse in pink, as I find white shirts a lot more difficult to style, which is a bit strange I know. Anyhow, I absolutely love this piece to...well...pieces and I cannot wait to style it with more of my wardrobe. 

In just a few days I will be turning twenty-five, so I thought I would bring all of my pastel pieces out in the humid sun for some snaps.

What do you think of the Archive collection?

Lots of Love,

Hey there lovelies!

 I hope you are all well :) I have been on another Turkish adventure recently, I can't seem to get enough of that country. Going to Turkey always puts me in a positive, chilled mood and helps me to think about what I really want from life.

Spring has really risen its head in the last week, with the sun shining and the trees all blooming like crazy. It really is the season of new beginnings. I will be turning 25 in a few weeks time and this season always help me to decide what I want from the next.

This Zara blouse has been worn to death by me over the past month, it just seems to go with absolutely everything I own. I love mixing white with bright pastels and feminine fabrics and that is what I was trying to achieve in this ensemble.

I will be off to Greece in a few weeks time, I really seem to have the travel bug this year! I can't wait to relax on a beautiful Island, eat fresh fruit and take in the lovely sights.

Have you got any summer plans?

Lots of Love always,

OOTD: Fire Station

Blouse~Larmoni/ Pinafore~Primark/Socks~Vintage/Skates~Amazon

Hey there my loves!

Well it has been a bit of a red day today...as you can probably tell. A few weeks ago I noticed the old-fashioned looking fire station in my town and thought that I just had to take a few snaps there. It was also a great chance to try and start rollerskating, a wonderful gift from my sister. Although, I could barely move whilst wearing them and looked terrified half of the time, it was still fun to try them out and I am determined to get better!
This little blouse is the new love of my life, as is the shop that I got it from: Larmoni. It is filled with treats and girly galore and I am going to pick up a few more pieces from there after payday.

I am off on holiday next Friday, for two whole weeks. I can hardly wait! I will be up in the mountains, so hopefully I will be able to get a few nice pics.

Hope your August has been lovely, Autumn is drawing ever closer :)

Lots of Love
