Hi everyone! My lovely friend Sophie, who has a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog recently created a brand new tag.

Hey everyone! So, is anyone else sick and tired of hearing people moaning about how certain girls are "desperate for attention"? I mean, it's no wonder female comedians and entertainers are so underrepresented as so often women who claim the limelight are criticised for being desperate for attention. Madonna looks fed up of it And no, the reason so many more women are being accused of being attention seeking is not because women are more attention seeking than men. It's because men are more readily accepted in to positions of power, influence and attention. Women, on the other hand, are expected to be more passive and unassuming. If a woman attempts to step in to the limelight and especially if the things she's being noticed for do not fit in to what is expected of a woman, she will be branded as an "attention whore" and discounted because of it. Branding somebody in this fashion is an easy way to belittle or dismiss a person's thoughts, feeli...

Hey everyone and welcome to my second ever outfit of the day! I really enjoy watching/reading outfits of the day as I find them inspiring when it comes to choosing clothes and they're just generally fun to look through. So, on with the program! I love summer clothing but I get cold pretty easily. So today it was looking a bit grey so I decided to put on my awesome Miss Selfridge summer trousers and chuck on my River Island denim jacket. I chose to wear my yellow H&M T-shirt to keep the outfit looking bright and summery. Also yellow and blue go great together so that was a bonus. These printed trousers go with a lot of t-shirts because of their versatile colours and they are super comfy, like pyjama bottoms. If you love comfy clothes and don't always feel like bearing the temperature of the questionable British summers, then I'd recommend printed trousers. Overall, this just feels like a casual, fun and warm summer outfit.  It feels quite strange writing a blog ...

Some days I really struggle to leave my flat and often even my bedroom. If you experience this problem frequently and these feelings make it really difficult for you to function in everyday life then please seek professional help . But, if you are simply seeking some general tips or encouragement for leaving the house then here are the things I tell myself if I need to go out but just can't face it. They don't always work but they often do. 1.  Know that if you are feeling down then some sunshine and gentle exercise will probably lift your mood. 2. Try to break the viscous cycle. I've found that when I feel down and don't go out, I generally feel even worse at the end of the day when I haven't managed to drag myself outside to complete the errands I needed to do. So, if you can, try not to be your own worst enemy. 3. Break the task up in to smaller steps. When you're not in a good state of mind everything involved with leaving the house can seem ...

The only thing I feel that I have achieved today (apart from a mediocre poetry assignment) is wearing an outfit that I felt pretty happy in. I noticed recently that, since I've been at uni I've been making a lot less effort when it comes to looking after myself and my appearance. I think it's partly because I've had other things on my mind but it doesn't make me feel good. Making an effort to look after yourself and to put a little bit of effort in to your outfits is one way of giving yourself a bit of love. I know that not all people feel this way about clothes but I definitely do to an extent. So without further ado let's marvel at my success in dressing myself.  DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry if my messy sink offends you D: Putting on a skirt always makes me feel really good about myself. I also find tights and skirts so much more fun and comfy than jeans. Me and jeans don't really get along. I'm not very good at "selfies" bu...
