Supporting Other Bloggers

by 2 Comments

This week I’ve been reaching out to other bloggers through various platforms. I’ve never been one to reach out to other bloggers as I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be part of the blogging community. Reasons behind this include; I didn’t post as much as other bloggers and I felt sometimes my content wasn’t that great. However, reaching out to other bloggers I’ve found out a lot of other bloggers feel this way when they post. When I spoke to other bloggers regarding this feeling it was understandable the reasoning behind this feeling. When people put up their content it’s to inspire and showcase who you are as a blogger, and I know people say it isn’t about the views but at the end of the day, it is. It’s about interacting with people who share the same views as you and to inspire people. So when those bloggers posts that blog post, that have been on standby for a few days and you don’t really see an interaction with them, it’s disheartening. So, this week I have made it my goal to interact with other bloggers, commenting on posts that I see on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I have to say, it’s made me feel good knowing that I have read and commented on someone’s post that they’ve taken the time out of their day/week to write about something that they are passionate about. It’s also connecting me with bloggers I haven’t really thought about reading myself like beauty bloggers and travel bloggers. I’ve always read other fashion bloggers, which is where I’m going wrong. Just like me, other bloggers want their content to be looked at, it’s okay to self-promote on sites like Twitter and Instagram, hell I encourage it. If it gets you out there then do it! It’s really opened my eyes to just how big the blogging world actually is. I find it so fascinating the content some people post, it’s like “Wow, how did you come up with that idea” which instantly makes me want to read more. Following from this I’m going to do a follow Friday every Friday. Although I look every day for new blogs to read and follow, I want to do a specific day where I do kind of like a follow train or something like that. I want to reach out to smaller bloggers across different platforms to unite. It doesn’t take much to read and comment on someone’s post. I know for sure it makes me smile and it makes me feel proud that I’ve written something someone has reacted too. Even if it’s a like, I know somebody has read that post and thought “Yes, I like this” Which makes my day.

Support your fellow bloggers ♥

Turtle Neck Take down.

by Leave a Comment

With the amount of roll necks I own I thought it was fitting to do a video on How I style turtle necks/roll necks whatever you want to call them. I have a good 11/12 and I love every single one. I just love how sophisticated they make an outfit and that they are so easy to layer over. I have one in nearly every colour. I’m on the look out for a green one as this is pretty much the only colour I don’t own. In my video I’ve done 5 outfits that are casual and 2 that are more formal looking. Click the image below to see a bigger picture of the outfits.

My favourite outfit has to be number 4 and number 5. I adore my tartan kimono along with my black Topman ribbed roll neck teamed up with my big wide brim fedora hat. Outfit number 5 has to be my go to outfit. It’s so easy to wear and just so me. My rust coloured roll neck ties this whole look together.

Which is your favourite?

New Years Lookbook.

by 4 Comments

With New Years Eve just around the corner, I came stuck as to what to wear for this amazing night. I’m venturing out of little old Shropshire and venturing down to the big city of London. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, go watch the fireworks in the capital city. Every year has been the same where I planned to do it and nothing followed through. This year I was making sure my best friends and I were going. We booked a hotel (The hotel we stayed at in my previous London Vlog video “Linked Here“) Making our way down to London at 3:45 pm and then once we have arrived we shall go for a food to obviously line our stomachs ready for the large alcohol intake we are about to induce. After this, we shall return to the hotel and start preparations for the event. We shall arrive at our designated spot of watching the fireworks at around 8-9ish. I will make sure I film most of our night so you guys get to see what we get up to. We also plan some fun games back at the hotel too so you may see those. However back to my main point, I have chosen 4 outfits which I really love but I need your help to choose which one you’d like to see me wear. I have photographs of each and then a YouTube video also. Take a look and see which ones you like too.DSC_0002-horz DSC_0053-horz DSC_0065-horz

Outfit Showcase – OOTD – Autumn Equinox

by Leave a Comment

With the British summer now fading away every so quickly I thought it was time to dig out my Autumn and Winter clothes. From my previous post about camel and how big it is this season, I thought I’d purchased a few extra items that were my favourite colour for the next few months. Starting with the camel trousers from ASOS, a pair of trousers I can easily dress up or dress down, layering up with my famous white eBay roll neck and adding that extra layer with my real Topman leather jacket add a camel wide brim fedora from ASOS and some fur lined boots which are also from ASOS and the look is complete and ready for those cold days and evenings.

Outfit Showcase – Summer Slayin’

by Leave a Comment

 

DSC_0432After my 6 o’clock start at work today I finished at 10:15 so I thought what better way to enjoy the weather than with another YouTube video showing off an outfit I’ve recently purchased. The outfit consists of My H&M wide brim fedora (which you’ve seen plenty of times) eBay sleeveless duster jacket (women’s), River Island khaki grandad shirt, eBay high-waisted shorts (women’s), Topman sunglasses and my Topman Sandals.

Khaki at the moment is a big trend within the women’s and men’s fashion world. I love the colour of the shirt and how it contrasts against the black, which gives it a harsh and soft edge to it. The shorts are high-waisted women’s shorts, which are so comfy out of shorts I’ve ever worn. The sleeveless duster jacket is also a women’s size 10. It’s a little big but I love it being over sized.  Topping the look off with my Fedora hat that I love so much.  I really enjoyed going for a lovely walk in the countryside with my shades on to showcase this look. Enjoy! DSC_0435 DSC_0444

The Life Of A Fashionista – Shopping and Coffee Day.

by Leave a Comment

 

DSC_0393So today I spent the day with the lovely Tom, we went for a Starbucks and did a little window shopping. In Starbucks the lady behind the till asked us what we wanted on our cups and I said just put anything and she came up with “Lukie Boy, love your hat” which was a nice touch! I had a refreshing coffee cooler while Tom had a lime refresher. After spending a few hours in Starbucks we went for a little stroll into the town centre and went window shopping. Tom tried on a really nautical and lovely outfit from River Island which sparked a selfie of us both with our outfits. The only thing I purchased from the shopping centre was my Acqua Di Gio, Giorgio Armani aftershave which is beautiful. It smells so good, I keep smelling myself because it smells so good. After a stroll around when decided to take a few photos showcasing our outfits and did some selfies together. Which then lead onto our outfit showcase video….. enjoy!

Summer Sunglasses.

by 4 Comments

I’m a sucker when it comes to sunglasses. My collection seems to be ever-growing. Ironically it’s raining outside as I make this post but I wanted to do a post on my favourite sunglasses. So let’s get on with the posing pictures….

DSC_0980-horzSo these first set of photos are showcasing my favourite sunglasses that I’ve purchased so far. The first pair I purchased from Choies for about £7. The have written across them “Cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye” which I just love. They are very similar to the ones Henry Holland has done. My second favourite sunglasses are my Ray Ban style sunglasses. I’m all about the bargains and I think paying for sunglasses that are over £100 is ridiculous. If they protect my eyes from the sun and look then that’s all that matters. These black pair were purchased from eBay of course for about £4. Again with the Ray Ban style sunglasses but this time with my favourite print which is tortoiseshell. I had always wanted a pair of sunglasses like these so when I saw them on you guessed it eBay I had to buy them. Another bargain at £7.

DSC_1010-horzThese next sunglasses are sunglasses I rarely wear but are still in my collection. The first pair of blue sunglasses were given to me by a friend they were originally purchased from H&M for £5.99. I do love the colour but I don’t think the style suits my face. These middle sunglasses are amazing. They fold up to nothing, meaning you can fold them up and put them away safe without the fear of sitting on them and breaking them. They have hinges on the frames seen underneath my fringe to the right where you can fold them. These sunglasses were purchased from New Look Man for about £3 in the sale. The next sunglasses was also given to me by the same friend but again was purchased from H&M for £5.99. I feel the red colour is a bit out there and a tad vibrant for sunglasses. Plus again like the first sunglasses of this set I don’t feel like they suit my face.
