'ONE SHOULD EITHER BE A WORK OF ART, OR WEAR A WORK OF ART'

IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR! I can't even remember the reason I started my blog, it almost definitely had a lot to do with encouragement from Nathaniel and my house mates, Edel, Hayley and Alicia. I want to thank all four of you for telling me to do this and constantly putting up with 'Do you want to take some photos?'. On the note of thank you's, thank you to everyone who has ever read anything particularly...

This was my first 'proper' day back at uni since Christmas, hence the lack of outfit posts because I've hardly been getting dressed let alone planning something worth posting. I've been looking for the best way to style this leather waistcoat since I got it (forever ago) and I think layering is it; it just doesn't look right without anything on top.

That's not to mention how totally...

My 2015 was welcomed in with my family for the first time. We had a barbecue, drank tequila and did the cha-cha slide. Oman is a majority Islamic country so it is frowned upon so show your shoulders and knees in public. We stayed at home so I made the most being able to wear a short summer dress wore is kaftan to protect myself from mosquitoes and the cooler evening. Finally, how beautiful is this...

Family is super important to me and I really cannot think of a better way to welcome in the new year than cha-cha sliding with the best and most important people in your life on the 31st of December. This week was well and truly full of firsts.
