Personal Style #5

All though I have never been to a festival (shock horror) I really enjoy the fashion and style associated with festival season; the bohemian/grunge look. As we are in the middle of festival season I thought I would do an outfit appropriate post! Recently I picked out this dress from House of Fraser by a brand called Linea, I loved the boho style to this dress and how floaty and light it is! (perfect for festivals). It comes with a light underlay so it doesn't get too hot in the summer heat too.

June Monthly Favourites

As were heading towards the heat of summer (not sure if the UK weather has caught onto that yet) I thought id pop together some products Ive been loving this month!

Personal Style #4

Recently the weather in the UK has been rather unpredictable ranging from 24 degrees and humid to downpours of rain and cold, However Ben and I managed to catch one of the more 'decent' days and headed to the park for a bit of sun. 

Skirt - Primark

Sunglasses - Topshop

Shoes - Toms

This is also the first time Ben has taken photos for me for the blog; they came out lovely and i'm so proud! Maybe this will mean more outfit posts in the future? Fingers Crossed!

What Is The "Perfect" Blogger?

(source lapetiteprimp)

One of my main procrastination habits is reading other peoples blogs on Bloglovin', this is mainly to gain inspiration for my own blog so I can make it as beautiful and user friendly as possible for my readers. However i've noticed so many blogs now, especially Fashion and Beauty blogs look too beautiful...as in everything looks pristine, everything has to have a white background and be styled to perfection, the girls are a perfect slim size and look like they've just been taken out of a magazine shoot with photoshop involved. Obviously I can't talk for other bloggers, but for myself? This is a lot of pressure. There's a big enough struggle to show your individual style and what makes you special amongst thousands of others doing the same thing already, let alone the majority of other bloggers projecting this "perfect persona" which readers seem to flock to. As a curvy teenage (well nearly 20 now) girl who likes to wear (probably stinky) pyjamas all day, who suffers with spots on her body, who is so clumsy a white bedroom is a nightmare come true; It is hard to push myself into this genre just because I know this will more likely get my blog more attention. Id love to be a skinny size 8/10 and for my OOTD's to look like everybody else's but that wouldn't be me. I think it's wrong to enforce these "perfect" stereotypes that no one can live up to; it makes us constantly feel put down because our pictures aren't pretty enough or we aren't perfect enough to be in this high-flying community. Instead I have decided to spend more time on developing and adding to my blog, and hopefully in the future when I start to feel more confident i'll be able to post more Outfits of the day etc (something I would really love to get into!). I don't think i'll ever be the "Perfect" beauty or fashion blogger, but i'll be the best damn me I can be!

Sorry for my little rant, but it's just something i've wanted to get off my chest for a while now! Let me you know if you agree or disagree in the comments below!

p.s. please don't take this as a rant to anyone in particular it's not, it's about the community in general.

Recently I was asked by Cocoa Cashmere to create some Spring Looks for my lovely readers including some of their SS15 range.
