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.

This week, I have pretty much tortured myself. Let's be honest, it's coat weather. BUT, I have lots of new cute rust-coloured blouses to wear first. I may have had my brolly dramatically ripped inside out, leaving a giant hole and metal stuck to my hair the other day but I'm still not having it. I've taken to wearing a scarf out instead. Guiltily sneaking out the door in the morning, avoiding looking at my rows of coats in the buttons. Don't get me wrong, I love getting cosy. Autumn is my absolute favourite! I'm just not sure that I'm ready to be cold yet (yeah I know, not wearing a coat does that too).

Well, this is definitely something a little more out of my comfort zone. A personal post about my body confidence, being myself and accepting my quirks. I can definitely feel a tugging force, pulling my cards back close to my chest. I have always been myself online, I enjoy sharing what I love! However, I have always found it a little hard to delve in a bit deeper. Discussing things that weren't always that comfortable was a struggle for me. But if there's one thing I've learnt this year, it's how important it is to love yourself. The realisation of this is something that has really taken effect on my life recently and has dramatically improved so many factors. Maybe it's something I've grown into with age, or maybe I have just stopped caring about the silly things? Either way, I feel a lot better for it and just wanted to share my experience so far.
