How To Boss Geek Chic

The Geek trend - I was a fresher the last time this trend made its way into my accessories pile. I believe I grabbed a bargain of eBay, buying 6 in a multi pack; who doesn't need 6 geek glasses in their life at any given time? I was in my first year of uni after all... 

I do love to jump on the bandwagon and follow trends to a certain degree, I was a little scared about putting these Deirdre specs on my face & pulling it off without looking like a complete moron. I decided a long time ago to not follow trends head on all the time.... I'll be looking back on this post in 3 years time most likely thinking 'Why on Earth did you think that looked cool!?'. I like to break up trends and keep them minimalistic, to the point where I can break down the entire outfit & style it up again with the next best trend that comes around.

I'm living in anything comfy rn so my Docs & this oversized jumper go hand in hand for the style & comfort factor. I don't know about you but I love to add small touches to the outfit to give it some personality. The geek glasses aside, fishnet socks & the choker that has practically been glued to my neck for the past several months are my go to at the moment.

If I could wear everything oversized all the time without looking like a one giant piece of fabric, I'd be living the dream! But for now, I'll just stick to upping my sizes in jackets and T's to satisfy my addiction of excess fabric. I'm currently obsessing over the fact that denim jackets are back.. yaaaas to fashion on a repeat cycle! I got this faux shearling lined jacket in a UK 10 so I could still fit my baggy knitwear underneath without looking like the michelin man. I don't think I could reveart back to wearing normal fitting clothes anytime soon.

Do you have a go-to comfy, yet chic outfit you turn to?

Tutorial: How I Edit My Images For Instagram | Photoshop | Facetune | VSCO | Snapseed

Shooting outfits for my blog and creating flat lays is probably my most favourite part of composing a new blog post, mainly because I find being visually creative and editing images post production a breeze. The whole writing aspect of being a blogger is something I quite struggle with. I just had to re-write my first opening line approx 3 times because the words just wouldn't flow how I wanted them too and it's quite frustrating for me. Since the age of 11, I have been teaching myself how to use editing tools, like photoshop, that it is now almost second nature to me... I often forget the struggles I faced when I first started out editing images & the frustration of an image not turning out how you wanted.

I recently posted my unedited & edited images on Twitter, asking if you guys wanted a tutorial & the response I got was crazy! So, as promised... Here is how I edit my images! If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch!

I'm not a master at videos either, so please excuse me for the quality!

Misspap X Fashernably Late

There are so many bloggers I have enjoyed following over the years and over those years it's been amazing to watch these beautiful ladies grow and evolve into the sassiest little bloggers  in the game with such amazing style! But it's not just bloggers who evolve and find their feet, brands climb the ladder and find their place in the market too and it's as equally pleasing to see this happen with a brand you've loved since day one. MissPap are killing it RN and I'm just in love with so many of their new pieces, you gotta go & check them out!

I headed out over the weekend to snap some looks after what felt like forever and by heck was it cold! If you look closely enough, you can actually see myself covered head to toe in goosebumps. It's safe to say I'm used to the funny looks off people by now - they must think I'm crazy!

My love of faux leather trousers isn't going anywhere it seems and this time round I them with this amazing studded denim jacket, lace bodysuit (yep, still love these too) and statement boots. I love to keep things simple and have an item thats the key piece in the outfit and it's a fail safe way to do this with an all black outfit!

I'm also featured in this months BloggerTalk with Misspap!

Instagram, Ya Dead?

 Instagram. 

It's the one social media app that has bloggers and influencers flapping about and scratching their head trying to figure out just where it all started to go downhill and what they can do to claw back the good old days where likes, comments and followers came so freely.

JD X Puma X Lucy Watson

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be invited down to London for an intimate blogger breakfast by JD Women to celebrate the launch of Lucy Watsons amazing new collection with Puma! It's not often I get to attend such fabulous events down south, so I was super excited to head down to Somerset house and join in on all the fun!
