WHERE IS THE SUN THOUGH!?

I feel really discombobulated today, a lot has been going on in the background and trying to juggle work, life admin and loss vs time to heal personal well-being, is a struggle!
I know for a fact it would be so much easier to deal with it all, if there was just a little bit of sunshine and Vitamin D boost, damn the UK! Honestly 😅

Sorry this has ended up being a whinge post into the feed ether! 🤣
I just want to feel good and wear some fabulous clothing and strut about in the sun with cocktails and loud music.
Who's with me!?

Look after yourself people 💚

Last week, the sun popped out briefly enough for me to rock my flared shorts that I found on

It's actually part of a co-ord and has a matching blazer which I'm verrrryyy excited to wear for a night out!
I initially hunted for the shorts after seeing
styling it and I immediately thought, "WHAT ARE THOSE AND WHY ARE THEY NOT ON ME NOW"!?
I tend to struggle to find shorts that I like and fit well within my wardrobe - I have some plain black cycling shorts and a pair of navy Reiss flared shorts (that unfortunately don't fit anymore so shouldn't really be there 😅) so I'm super grateful to have found these polkadot beauties in my size!

For a casual day look, I paired them with my vintage cropped denim jacket and tee blouse and socks and my go to boots

THE SUN WAS OUT!
FINALLY!!! And with that, a thigh came out to say hello, the midriff got some sunshine smiles and even the toes came out to play!
Honestly, I needed today, batteries are charged!

Spent a beautiful day strolling around Burseldon with my boo. Had a fantastic lunch at .bursledon (my new fave local spot for Aperol Spritz and just overall lovely surroundings).

Styling my new jumpsuit, thrifted from

I was on the search last week to finally replace a fitted straight leg jumpsuit (it's currently listed on my Depop page, it doesn't sit quite right on me anymore, so getting rid) and I stumbled across this beauty!
I love the print!!! Heavy graphics and paint splatter motifs are a huge 😍😍😍 for me and I love that this piece is super versatile with a lot of my wardrobe and can easily be styled for day to day / casual to dressed up/ evening wear!
Also couldn't resist showing off my thrifted mules and earrings!
Everything else I've had for years!

Thank you so much for playing my reel game on Sunday, "Choose My Coat".

I think I might make it an every Sunday event, what do you think? I really enjoy everyone's thoughts and involvement, plus not only does it bring a sense of community and fun amongst my followers but gives me insights into your tastes too, which is important - sharing is caring ❤️

This was the coat I decided to go with, vintage Four Seasons Mac that I thrifted from a charity shop in Southampton - I was very tempted by the Purple M&S thrifted coat, so thank you to everyone who voted...BUT it was too warm!!!! Can you believe it!?
This must mean one good thing, warmer weather is on the way! 🔆🔆🔆

Neutral Monochrome -

There are some days where I just want to wear loose fitting clothes that feel comfortable on the skin and are neutral. It usually tends to be around the time I near my period being due. I don't know the full science behind why, but my guess is that it calms me somehow, physically and mentally.
However I still want the outfit to feel put together as well as be practical, I must have pockets in my attire!

As the weather is yet to vastly improve, I'm still here rocking jumper dresses, in particular this black Monki dress thrifted from for £8, including shipping!!!
Paired with (another Vinted bargain from lockdown days) a lightweight cream vintage shacket, which is one of my go to spring/ summer throw ons!

Tied the outfit together with some thrifted earrings, necklace, socks and my bargain find A.C.WxConverse sneaks

I couldn't resist joining in with an 80s inspired vibe 😅🤣
When I tell you I was OBSESSED with Barbies (and Sindys) it's no joke!
My cousin and I used to make outrageous outfits for our dolls, using toilet roll and scrap fabric.
I guess the clothing they came with just didn't thrill us enough.

So here's to all the kids who made their dolls outfits, thrifted random bits around the house to give their dolls a "boujie" makeover and give them something new to wear that was affordable (for the parents 😅🤣)

Lastly, representing some melanin! I was desperate for more dolls that looked like me...I had one. Just one! And by the time I was gifted her, I was much older and had grown out of playing with dolls, so she became my mascot for dressmaking and making miniature maquettes and sat on my shelf in my room.

The Clash of the Prints!

This weekend has been filled with bittersweet nostalgia with old friends and creating new memories with extended family.
Because of this, I have been reminded of my younger self and it kind of spiralled to thinking about my struggles with identity, the incessant bullying surrounding my appearance and how hard it was to exist as my authentic self.

Fast forward to today and although I still battle with trauma and feeling uncomfortable in my skin, it's probably the most content I've been in myself.
I have lifelong supportive AF friends, I am with someone who loves and praises me and my efforts on a daily basis, I am driven to be the best supportive bonus mama to 4 wonderful boys and remain unashamedly me - in loudness, in song and in life!

I have been blessed with friends who are extremely giving and so when they decide to have a clear out or declutter, I am showered with their unwanted gems and this dress is one of them.

Originally from it's one of the comfiest items of clothing I have.
I throw it on when I'm being lazy, it's great to layer up throughout autumn and spring and the graphic print mixes well with other pieces I have.

This still is from one of my most recent reels showcasing how to style a basic vest.

It absolutely poured down with rain today!

In my weather tantrum, I stuck my middle finger towards the sky and dressed up in this amazing dress I copped off Vinted for a bargain...
In fact, my entire outfit is second hand (aside from the socks and jewellery) but everything is either from Depop or Vinted and costs a total of £60 - including shipping!

Vintage Dress - Vinted (£20)
Vintage Shirt - Vinted (£10)
H&M Vest - Vinted (£5)
Adidas Nizza Hi - Depop (£25)

As you may have noticed, I have changed my page somewhat and I've been spending time with my wardrobe and making reels to showcase styling. There's a lot of playing about with staging and so far this is my favourite spot for filming and photographing, but no doubt it may change again, as I do enjoy pottering around the home.
I also think there's going to be an elevated backdrop at some point... especially when I'm finished moving around the studio 😅

I've been gaggin' to wear this LazyOaf sample shirt and MelissaxLazyOaf sandals for SOOOOOO long....but we're in March!

My patience for warmer weather grows thin...

And so instead, I had fun playing dress up, in the mild temperatures of our home, pretending I was off to chill at some sunny street food festival... when in reality I wore this outfit, working remotely, sat in front of the laptop all day with copious amounts of tea and a couple of bourbon biccies 😅🤣
