Sweater Weather

-
Hello my loves,

Summer has come to a close, as has (I hope) my procrastination in regards to this blog. 
Here in the UK it is officially sweater weather, now every single year I hate it to be cold however this year that has changed and I think I have too. 

 Now before you roll your eyes and click away, I don't mean I have changed in a preachy 'I'm so deep and interesting' way, let me explain (quickly, because TL;DR).

My whole life I have been living in retrospect, I'm always looking to the past for comfort and I don't think I have ever looked ahead to what could possibly be. 

 My past has been complicated, lonely but that for me just means...safe and oh so familiar. 
I have dairies, journals, notebooks and scrapbooks littering my room full of memories that, at the time I thought would just be a funny little thing to look back on but I started to think that perhaps I had already lived my best life and I was doomed to be boring and empty for the rest. 

 I was looking through these things the other day and found one specifically titled 'Things I'll never say' it was full of letters, almost love letters, some to friends and some...not to 'friends', but all addressed to people that would've cherished what I had to say if only I hadn't been to scared to say it, friends that are no longer part of my life that I should've told these things to and worse, people who I loved but was too scared to say. 

 Missed chances.
Something changed in me, I don't want that past life anymore.  

So, along with this glorious sweater weather, I bring with me into Autumn a fresh pair of eyes placed firmly on what's ahead and a lesser fear of being...accompanied.  
Thanks Guys,

Late Night Dance Party

Hello Internet, The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of exams and assignments (In fact when I close my eyes I'm seeing word counts and design charts) annndddd I just got back from handing in my very last assignment!! (erm 5000 words, ....ill hold for the applause). Now, usually at the end of a year of uni all I want to do is eat my body weight in food I forgot to eat during exam week and reclaim all of the sleep I missed in the form of twenty minute cat naps throughout the day and waking up at 2pm every day.   However! this time all I wanted to do was listen to feel good music and dance around for hours in sheer happiness (I've been having an amazing mental health week considering it was exam week, tres proud). In celebration of this I created a feel good playlist on my Spotify  and have been listening to it non-stop, so I thought I would share it here in case you want to come and dance with me!  Dance Party See you there!

Happy February guys!, today I'm bored.  I've been on holiday from uni for like three months now and holy crap I feel like my brain is gathering dust I'm that bored.  So, in true blogger style I decided to make a list of things I could be doing instead of lying face down on my bed reciting each line from gilmore girls as the character say them.  Go for a walk - in fact take your dog for a walk he's getting a bit fat and there's no excuse now it's not raining (He's scared of rain). Update your CV - I'm supposed to be looking for a job. Yoga- because your mental & physical health is majorly flagging. Plan a trip - you really want to get out and see places remember?. Clean your make up brushes - seriously. do it.  Get back into painting - you might not still be shit if you copy Bob Ross.  Plan and organise all FMP shoots - or at least prepare a meeting folder ffs. Re- decorate your room - even though you only did it last year.  Bo...

Hey pals,  It's 9:30pm and i'm fucked so lets do an outfit post yas?  The other day I threw together an outfit and I LOVED IT so i'm going to tell you about it and where I got the lil bits from (also I dont have a proper camera and these are awful outfit shots but i'm a poor post-grad oh well).  I'm not going to lie I felt so bad ass in this outfit even though I've had some of these pieces for a while now.  Top: H&M (they sell stuff like this ALL the time)  Trousers: New Look (about three years ago but trousers are back in now so you wont have trouble finding some similar) Belt: Boohoo (or literally any online clothes store)  Sunglasses: Primark (this summer)  I then just wacked on a pair of all black boots I bought from Primark and a red lippy ('Alexa' from the 'B' brand in superdrug) and I felt invincible.  Right then, my eyes are about to fall out of my head so I'm off to sleep.  See you , H  ...
