The Self and The Selfie

July 3, 2020July 2, 20202 Comments

Over the last little while, I've been thinking about the way we represent ourselves in both real life and the online realm. The online world is a strange space where you can be whoever you want to be with very few limitations; you can become famous overnight or build an empire. I've been reflecting a … Continue reading The Self and The Selfie

That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

April 25, 2020April 25, 20202 Comments

A little while ago, I wrote up a post all about how to organise a photoshoot whilst travelling (link here) and thought it would be fun to share just what such collaborations can create. When I knew I was going to be travelling to Poland last year, I really wanted to grab the opportunity to … Continue reading That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

Oversharing with MonMon – Knitting

June 21, 2019June 24, 20191 Comment

I think we all have that skill or talent we want to learn but we put it in the 'one-day' pile. For me, that skill was knitting. I had always wanted to learn it when I was in high school but this is before there were tutorials on YouTube and I knew nobody who could … Continue reading Oversharing with MonMon – Knitting

Up in the Air Skincare: How to protect your skin on a flight

March 25, 2019September 23, 20191 Comment

I travel a lot so I know the struggle of trying to stop my skin from freaking out whilst on a plane. Having your daily routine thrown out the window, excessive drying from constant aircon, lack of sleep and a limit of products available to you can all cause your skin to break out or … Continue reading Up in the Air Skincare: How to protect your skin on a flight

Some things can just truly make your day; a delicious cup of tea in the morning, fresh flowers and a brand new pink dress. I was recently contacted by the brand Kova Kiss and asked if I would like to review one of their dresses and after peeping at their website, it was an absolute … Continue reading Pretty in Pink Dress – Kova Kiss Review

Sometimes it's scary how well Google knows you and what you like to buy. At the end of last year I kept getting recommended this Acorn Rattan bag from @olliella and you bet ya bottom I loved it. Google knew I would want a bag designed for children for myself. Ah, well played Google, well played.
This weekend was all about recovering from my recent operation but it gave me time to start planning my next vintage ghibli sewing project.
When dressing in the vintage style, many of us feel the pressure to style ourselves in a way to suit. Red lips and curled hair become iconic for vintage styling but for people like me, styling my hair can be a bit of a challenge.
When I was a kid, I went through a pretty strong Hello Kitty phase. My entire desk was covered in every piece of Hello Kitty stationery I could get my hands on, much of which I still have today. The new collection from @erstwilder with @hellokitty made my nine year old self squeal with joy! Oh and of course @miss.vintage.orchid is also Hello Kitty obsessed!

Be honest, how often do you wash your foam/sponge curlers? I try to wash mine at least once a month as I use multiple times a week. They can start to look a bit gross and sad if you don't keep them clean.
Have you ever procrastinated so hard that years go by and you still haven't done the thing you set out to do? Well, that happened to me; for over two and a half years I have wanted to create a mini-series on my blog (and now YouTube) where I take my favourite Studio Ghibli films and characters and turn them into a vintage version of themselves.
Self care is the best kind of care πŸ’™
