That feeling when you get back from work, immediately fling-off your clothes and get straight into your favourite loungewear. I don't know about you, but I am a girl of comfort. I like to feel free, relaxed, comfortable. If I'm not leaving the house, you can guarantee I won't be getting dressed up. Bra off, hair up, makeup removed - the just-got-home ritual. Sometimes you just want to feel that extra bit of comfort outside of the house, without having to compromise on style.

After moving to Birmingham City Centre, I became pretty lazy when it came to shopping. I walk through the centre daily, so the thought of shopping there never really appealed to me. Online shopping became my go-to, yet so did the returns counter. So much so, I actually became a regular and made friends with a lovely lady at a Doddle stand. Safe to say, online shopping hadn't always been successful and shopping for myself was losing its enjoyment. So when intu Merry Hill invited me along on a shopping trip, the process of actually planning a day out to shop and treat myself felt exciting!

So it's that time of year again! It's too cold to wear anything other than a duvet and I'll slowly begin to turn into an oversized scarf over the next few months. If I'm honest, there was definitely a pile of outer-layers slumped on the floor behind these scenes. It's probably time to admit defeat and wrap up. I'm already on dangerous fedora territory, close-calls of me running down the road after the wind had swiped my beloved hat right off my head. As someone who used to be TERRIFIED of wearing anything but dresses and tights, winter has never really been my favourite clothes season. However, I feel like I've finally broken out of my own fashion jail this year and I'm actually loving trousers right now.

Despite being born in 1990, I have always had a soft spot for everything 80s. The music, the movies, the fashion - I just love it. Over the past couple of years, I've noticed a heavy revamp of these things coming back around. Especially with the likes of Stranger Things (the love is real), remakes like IT and 80s inspired movie soundtracks hitting our screens. We saw oversized denim jackets and mom jeans making the rounds through shops over and over again. As great as this was, I still found myself pining over the AMAZING wardrobe of Pretty in Pink's Duckie Dale. Honestly, this is more than likely where my forever-love for bolo neck ties came from.

Since almost forever, I have found myself gravitating towards backpacks. Especially those slouchy relaxed-feel ones. After the last few months of exhausting my smaller side bags, I wanted something more practical. Of course, I wanted a bag that could fit almost everything in but the kitchen sink. Ridiculously functional, whilst somehow remaining minimal and pretty. I wanted to be able to fit in my camera, and maybe a cardigan and brolly. Seems as it's practically freezing now! Plus, to ease my backpack paranoia (it can't just be me, right?), I wanted an inner zip pocket and a sensible closure. Usually, I'd add silver hardware to the checklist too, but I'm verging into impossible dreamland territory at this point.

So the prolonged heatwave is finally coming to an end and my favourite season is almost in reach! I've only just started dressing Summer-appropriate, but I don't even care as I love Autumn! It truly is my favourite time of year. I love all of the tones outside and the fact that Halloween is on its way. The pumpkin and cinnamon flavoured everything, absolutely everywhere. I'm just completely excited to wear all those deep shades of green again. Honestly, I'm already eyeing up new scarfs to add to my collection, the ones that are the length of your entire body. Sweater weather is upon us and I just can't wait!
