Apologises

Oh hey guys,

Unfortunately I won't be posting a new post like usual this week, I've been having a rough couple of days and in all fairness I haven't had a moment to think about my blog. I hope you guys understand, I'm just trying to figure some things out in my personal life.

Thank you

Calm

Oh hey guys!

Today is something a bit different, its something that has significantly helped me within the day to day running of my life, with that in mind I thought I would share with my readers. I first learnt about the calm app through watching Tanya Burr on youtube and saw that this too helped her with her anxiety and enabled her to calm herself down. Let's note that this was in fact the calm app which you can download on to your phone for free!

The layout of the app enables that you can choose your own personal backdrop whether it be the sound of waves to the sound of rain, there are over 20 different back drops to choose. I believe the main aim of this app is to follow the three options, the most popular to ease you in would be the program "seven days of calm" which allows you to grasp the basics of mindfulness meditation. However there is also the guided option which with the free version you only get 2 options calm and body scan, there are other options available but only if you buy the pro version which I believe is $7.99 per month. Finally there is a timer in which you create your own mindfulness session the app only times it. 

The latest addition to my latest meditation craze has been the Calm book, this retails at £9.99 (cheaper on Amazon) and is just a cute addition. It has a selection of sections that you can read at any point such as travel, relationships and children and in turn these areas have small tips and the intention is to provide a guidance in order to create natural habits for each scenario to ensure you have a mindfulness about your everyday life. 

If you're anything like me you'll appreciate how cute and motivating the pages are, each one is different and some what uplifting. 

Like I said previously the book is a new addition, in fact I only received it last night! I can't give you any reviews on it but I can guarantee that the app is super helpful, as someone who is some what of a stress head I find this helps me just relax and return in a good mood.

I hope this helps!

Night Out Picks

Oh hey guys,

I've decided that this weeks post is going to be a few pieces that I have been loving the look of when it comes to nights out. This coming year is a big one among my friends as well are all turning 21 and therefore big night outs are ahead!

There is always a large selection of pieces that are available all year around and these are a couple of things I am loving right now!

First up is this gorgeous  Shift Dress  from Pretty Little Thing, to be fair I tend to get scared of shift dresses because in the past I've looked like a sack of potatoes in one but part of me is wanted to try again in aid of this amazing number. It is relatively priced at £20 and I just love the blue in it, curious if this would actually suit me with my vibrant red hair but the slight plunge and short length make this a sexy little number to team with black heels and a black clutch for ultra elegance.

I'm not one to wear bralets because usually they highlight my mid drift and lack of chest but I'm so over that. This Topshop  Bralet is relatively classic the intricate design of it means that you could keep it simple with a pair of treggings or jeans and heels,  you could easily pair with a skater skirt and boots it is entirely down to personal preference. This is quite pricey at £29 so it's not something that I will buy in a rush, but it can be a key piece to any woman's night out wardrobe.

   Confession time! I have been perving over these Lace Up Heels from New Look, I am ridiculously terrible at walking in heels but I have been loving the lace up heel trend. So when I saw these slightly chunkier heeled lace ups I made it up in my mind that I needed to own them. These come in at under £30 and I think they will go with literally any dress, definitely a classic and a relatively cheap investment. 

Sometimes I find that most of my items in my wardrobe are all black and so colourful accessories can seriously help out. I spotted this cute Tassel Box Clutch from River Island, this looks so expensive and can brighten any outfit. It is slightly pricey at over £30 but this down to personal preference as I tend to stick with Primark or New Look for going out bags so this is a bit above what I would normally spend on a night out bag but it is definitely gorgeous.

That's it guys, my picks. What did you think?

Too early for Autumn?

Oh hey guys!

I am aiming to fulfil the needs of my readers and so on looking at my most popular posts I noticed the rare OOTD post I made was one of the most read, so in return I am creating a new one. This was something I was excited to wear as it was an amazing find at Primark,  it was also something easy to chuck on to go out shopping with my sister and nephew.

This s the layout of my outfit, I find that I tend to stick to monochrome right now due to the brightness of my hair and to be fair, who doesn't love a bit of monochrome and greys? 

L-R: Topshop bag (no longer sold) , New Look Chelsea Boots, Primark Pleather Jacket, Primark Mohair (I think) Jumper and finally my trusty Topshop Black Treggings!

 I am actually laughing at my attempt at capturing my outfit (hahaha) but kinda looks arty, or is it just me that thinks that?

A full shot of the cosy outfit, featuring my messy bedroom.

I love this photo, not only does it show my turtle neck amazingly but I love the way my hair adds such a contrast to the monochrome scheme of my outfit. I can officially confirm that no filter was used. ( I loved it so much I put it on my Instagram page!)

Super short but that's it, see you next week guys!
