How I’ve Escaped the January Blues

Hope you’ve all had a productive week. I’ve had a lovely week exploring London. My friend, Sarah and I went to Notting Hill on Wednesday, and this weekend my brother’s girlfriend, Felicia, visited me, so got up to loads of fun things! We visited Tate Modern, went to see Wicked on the West End, and ate lots of delish food. What more can a girl ask for? This weekend was the perfect cure for those January blues. Anyway, for this week’s blog post, I wanted to talk about how I’ve been escaping these so-called January blues, as I always find it to be a trying month filled with lots of pressures and expectations. Despite getting some bad news this month, I’ve still managed to stay positive and below are some of the things that have helped me, including weekend’s like this one. You might benefit from adding these little habits to your routine too.

New Year, New Goals in 2020

So sorry I’ve been m.i.a. recently! I wanted to spend a couple weeks really enjoying being with the people I loved over the holidays. My parents came over from the US and we all spent a lovely Christmas with our family in Derbyshire. Then, I came back to London to spend New Years with my lovely long-time pal, Savannah. The day after, we jetted off to Amsterdam for a couple days, which was an amazing trip (mini guide to Amsterdam coming soon!). Needless to say, it has been an extremely busy couple of weeks, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Anyway, it’s time to get back on track with this year’s first blog post.

First, I wanted to look back at some of the resolutions I made last year and if I managed to achieve them. I always find January to be a very hard time of year. I’m missing my family that I just spent time with, the excitement of the holidays have passed, and there seems to be nothing to look forward to. Looking over my past goals and creating new ones has always been a therapeutic thing for me to do this time of year. Below are the new resolutions I’ve set for myself this year along with my thoughts on last year’s.

Back to Basics

Hope you’ve been having a good Easter and bank holiday weekend if you’re here in the UK. Hope you’ve been spending time with your fam and eating lots of Easter treats. Anyway, on to this week’s blog post.

While building an amazing wardrobe, or at least what I consider to be amazing lol, I’ve been learning and growing along with it. I think of my wardrobe as a fluid, ever-changing thing. Pieces are always coming in and going out of my life and I try my best to keep it all rather balanced, but sometimes even my closet falls off kilter.

Put It In Neutral

How are you guys doing this week? Comment down below with how you’ve been and what you’ve been up to this weekend. You know I’m always nosey, and what to hear about what you’re up to.

This year one of my fashion goals has been to challenge myself to make neutrals exciting again. They’ve been all over the runways and street-style stars recently, and I want to try it out myself. While I’ve become inclined to grab a punchy pink sweater rather than a subtle camel one, I want to make myself a bit more comfortable with the classic tones again. I think it’s important to have that balance of color and neutral in my wardrobe and know how to navigate both seamlessly.

The Boiler-suit: From Utility to Trendy

How are you all doing al this chilly January evening? I can’t believe that January is already almost over. Its flown by for me, but I bet some of you would argue that it’s been the longest month ever. Anyway, I guess we should leave behind the topic of chilly Januarys and get back to the topic we’re all here to talk about, fashion!

One of the rising trends I’ve seen this winter/spring season is the oh-so-unexpected boiler-suit! That’s right, they’ve come back around and are extremely on trend again. It somehow joins casual and chic, utility and trendiness for a delightfully unexpected look! Here are some of the reasons I love a boiler-suit, and why I think you might too!

Stepping Out of My Style Comfort Zone in Milan

Fergus and I have just returned from Milan! We had an amazing little trip, exploring the city and visiting my Italian pals. I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quick city break! If you have any questions about our Milan visit, comment them down below, because I’ll probably be answering them in my next post with my mini guide to Milan.

For this week’s post, I wanted to try to challenge myself and my typical style in Milan! Often, I find myself getting into a fashion rut and just wearing a similar combination of clothing over and over, so every now and then, I think I’ve got to break out of the routine.

A piece of clothing a usually shy away from is the midi skirt. I’ve long admired the midi skirts and dresses on the likes of my taller friends, celebs, and models, but I’ve always felt that I was too short too pull one off. Since I’m always preaching that anyone can wear anything though, I thought I should test myself to do the same!
