Outfit of the Day – Versatility

I really like this dress, as I think it's very versatile. Here, I'm wearing it as a casual everyday thing, with the cosy cardigan and another pair of patterned tights. However, as you can see from the lace sleeves and low back, it could also be worn to…

Review – We Are The In Crowd: Weird Kids

Weird Kids, We Are The In Crowd’s second musical outing, is a record infused with youth, rebellion and attitude in spades, that speaks to all those who feel lost or like misfits – which is most people really, because after all “we’re all just weird kids in the…

Of Bagpipes and Burns: Scottish Stereotypes

(Source) Every country and culture has stereotypes that go alongside it, some truer than others. Scotland of course, is no different. However, what I have noticed is that while Scotland is part of the U.K., British stereotypes tend to be more closely associated with the English portion of…

Outfit of the Day – Feeling Patriotic

I'm a huge fan of colourful, patterned tights (though not leggings for some reason, no idea why!) and I've picked up most of mine in little independent boutique type places, so they're pretty unique - unfortunately that means I don't remember the names of most of them! I…

Getting Fit

So this post is a little different from my usual topics, but it has become a larger part of my life recently: exercise. I have always, always hated exercise, especially doing P.E. at school. It was easily my worst subject and left me feeling embarrassed and exhausted every time. My…

Review – Afternoon Delight

(Source) So, this may turn out to be less of a review, and more my thoughts on the film’s themes and characters (spoilers ahead!). First of all though, I will say that I really enjoyed Afternoon Delight, perhaps more than I expected too. It was well acted and…

Outfit of the Day – Patterns & Prints

Some days I go for fairly simple clothing designs, but other days I like to be bolder, and mix up patterns and colours like in this outfit. I'm also a big fan of rock music, but this isn't generally obvious from my clothing style (although I greatly resent such…

Musically Inspired – Embracing Individuality

This world is home to millions of human beings. And the truly amazing thing is that not one of us is exactly like any other. Every single one of us is unique in our own ways, and this is something that should always be celebrated. Our individuality should…

Review – You Me At Six: Cavalier Youth

(Source) Coming off the back off a sold out show at Wembley, there was understandably pressure to deliver something big on the next You Me At Six record. And deliver they did. Cavalier Youth is infused with a feeling of determination, from a band united and stronger than…

Outfit of the Day – A Touch of Magic

So I'm a big fan of cardigans, as they add an extra layer of warmth but still let you show off whatever top you're wearing underneath. And this top definitely needs to be shown off! It's from Black Milk, a website I highly recommend; they make clothes with…
