Ripped Glam

Unless you blog, I don't think you can truly understand the pressures it can have on a persons life. We all love it and that is why we continue to do it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's pretty hard work, especially if you are a perfectionist.  Coat - Allsaints  Khaki Shirt - H&M Ripped Jeans - H&M Western Buckle Boots - Dorothy Perkins Choker - Zara   Bag - Diesel There are many factors we have to take into consideration during our everyday lives, to name just a few:  Phone Battery My charger is with me all day every day. My mom is incredibly judgemental about it, but then again she only uses her phone to make calls and send important texts, like that's even a thing anymore.  You need a fully charged phone for the spontaneous moment you spot the perfect sunset, or your lunch looks particularly appealing as you eat a la carte. And you can't forget every single time you have prosecco and strawbs. O...

Happy Autumn everybody! There is no purpose to this post other than to share my love and admiration for this season. I know we all love it. The burgundy hues, the pumpkin spiced lattes, the joy we get when we get to use the word 'autumnal and not to mention the perfect Insta shot of your Ugg boots standing in a pile of leaves .  There are endless reasons to love Autumn and everyone just seems so much happier when we reach this point of the year sharing their pictures on Facebook of pumpkins and candles.  ​It does hit us quite quickly as the nights start to draw in earlier and earlier, but with each night that passes Christmas is another day closer so for every negative, there are no doubt plenty of positives. Before the cold weather hits us, in the UK we have this brief transitional period in September where we experience all the Autumnal feels but still enjoy the sunshine. This means it is the perfect​ opportunity to wear those outfits that you have pinned...

You usually hear this phrase batted around by your male friends when they're bantering about their missus, as they do! But women don't tend to refer to men in that way, as I think we all know we'd do fine without the male species #GirlPower.  No, the love/hate relationship women have is with Make Up.  I love make up with every fibre of my being. It gives me a confidence boost that I could never get from anything or anyone else and it gives me the capability to improve every aspect of my face; I can have a flawless complexion, chiseled cheeks, bigger brows and longer lashes all with the sweep of a brush. Spending time on my makeup is something I do daily, and have done for many years now. But I have come to a bit of a crosswords as I am beginning to resent when I miss out on that extra 30 minutes in bed and my skin has started to look really shitty. Only now, after I have invested time and money into my skincare routine, do I actually feel confident to leave ...

Dress - Diesel I know we hear it all the time, but confidence really is key.  It's something that no one will ever master, but will always continue to learn and grow from and those who lack in confidence should find comfort in knowing that every single one of us has our own insecurities that we may never overcome.   It's not easy being brave, and it's because we are so used to living in our comfort zones that we never think of leaving them. But why would you? The clue is in the name, it's where you are most  comfortable . Where everything is as it seems, no challenges or added pressures, no anxiety and no judgements. Sounds pure bliss.  It's easy to think that way instead of challenging yourself for not being courageous enough, but once you do get into that mindset it gives you the added motivation to start  conquering your fears.  There is nothing wrong with living a reserved life, but quite often there is no better feeling than when...

Being "too busy" is a luxury many of us pretend we have, but in actual fact just use as an excuse to get out of god awful plans. We have all done it, and it's the kind of statement no one can argue with. But it's not always what it seems and the way a person uses the phrase "too busy" can reflect a lot about their personality and what their true intentions are.  (Warning: Please do not take everything I say seriously, I like to have a laugh) Coat - Allsaints  Jumper - Asos Scarf - River Island  Jeans - Zara  Boots - Ugg  Scenario  You've been trying to arrange a night out with your estranged friend for months now and nothing ever comes of it. Every time you arrange a date something else comes up. Excuse "I'm sorry, I'm just too busy right now to arrange anything."  Definition This person has zero intention of arranging anything. Ever. You don't need waste time trying to see them, because if they really wanted ...

Being a millennial has its perks, but mostly not. We  have it tough, I don't care what anyone says.  Yeah we're lucky in the sense that we are old enough to know who the Venga Boys are and young enough to know how to work a computer. But all that aside, I don't think people realise that the expectations they have of us are completely unrealistic and the pressure is hard to deal with. Denim Shirt - Jack&Jones (Mens) T-Shirt - Asos Skirt - Noisy May  Boots - Dorothy Perkins  Get a job, they say. It'll be easy they say. But boy, oh, boy, how wrong 'they' are. Yeah, we can all apply for jobs working in retail or a bar, but getting the job you really want is near impossible with the amount of competition there is out there and experience required.  Once you actually do manage to somehow make it into the industry, I'm fairly certain you'll be starting at the bottom of the barrel and then we have the age old drama of your family e...
