70s vibes only ✌🏻

Did anyone else get a chance to soak up some sun today?  It was the perfect bbq weather! Not too hot, but not too cold. After over a year of lockdown, it is so nice to be able to meet up with our loved ones, even if it is in groups of 6 (or 2 households).  I celebrated my Nan’s 77th birthday in my mum and dad’s garden today. It was amazing to see them all; it almost felt “normal” (whatever normal is now), plus I got to eat some very yummy food and drink Prosecco!  I rocked up to the bbq in this 70s-inspired getup. I love clothing that is influenced by vintage fashion. However, I love an authentic vintage outfit so much more. I am sure I will be sharing some of my original vintage pieces soon.  Today I was wearing a collision roll neck, dr marten creepers, and a reclaimed vintage jumpsuit.  Stay safe ❤️

Hurry up Summer

    Who else is done with winter, and wishing summer would hurry up? 🙋🏼‍♀️ This winter has felt never ending. The sun is certainly taking its time to grace us with its presence, but when it does, these new additions to my colour-full wardrobe will be the first items I throw on.  Lazy Oaf’s motto is ‘keep it weird’, which I absolutely love. I buy most of my colourful garments from Lazy Oaf because I like how different and unique their items are. Almost all of their clothing are retro-inspired (another reason to like them), hence why the jumpsuit on the left is a crazy 70s-looking floral print.  I am a sucker for vintage clothes, but I do also love a modern piece/ company that recycles the trends of earlier decades.  Stay safe!  H - ❤️

Park Life

  Happy Good Friday! My partner and I go on at least one long walk a day. One reason for this, is we have a dog (as you can see - S/O to Buster). Another reason, is that I suffer from Severe Anxiety Disorder and Mild Depression, so walks really help to clear my mind and bring me back to reality. I have suffered with mental health issues ever since secondary school, but it wasn’t until 2020 that I actually admitted that I was suffering out loud to someone else. I was terrified of admitting to myself and others that I had a problem, which is so silly! Opening up about my mental health is the best thing I have ever done. It has freed me from a prison that was of my own creation. I am now on Anxiety medication, which has helped immensely, and I have a very supportive family.  The point I am trying to make is, don’t be afraid of your feelings. If you think you are suffering with mental health issues, let someone know, and get the help you need. There is a support network available....
