ootd: jumping on the cycling shorts trend

-

Hey, welcome back or welcome to my blog! I am an avid lover of fashion, and I have been switching up my style recently, and after investing in a few new pieces, as well as receiving a load of hand me downs about a month ago now, I’m loving my new style. I am trying to venture out a lot more and have been loving it! Layering, patterns and wide leg trousers seem to be my favourites, but I’m getting off track now. Today I’m here with an ootd post, one that features an item I never thought I’d wear, and as a matter of fact, now love.

Cycling shorts are the key with this outfit. I just have a plain black pair on, from Primark, that I am going to invest in for a longgggg time! These are an XS on me, and fit really well! I also own a grey pair, but I really want to buy more. There was a time where I said ‘I’d never wear cycling shorts, they look awful’. But times have changed and I am now loving it!


I paired these shorts with one of my favourite tops from Bershka, I feel like I belong on Rory the Racing Car with this top, but it is so comfy and fits perfectly. I love Bershka’s quality and some of their pieces are to die for!

When it comes to accessories, I wore these long socks, also from Bershka, that have a cute blue heart on them <3, and I just folded them over. I wore most of my usual jewellery, my name necklace and my 3 stars necklace, both from local jewellers, as well as my ear piercings. Of the 2 I can change, I wore a small moon hoop earring, as well as a larger plain silver hoop (Bershka again). I love accessorising and it makes an outfit stand out so much more in my opinion!


I have been loving this outfit recently, what has been your go to outfit at the moment? Have an amazing weekend, I will be back on Sunday at 10am with a collab post, rather than my usual Monday post!

summer skincare routine

-

Skincare is usually not something I care too much about, and as I do have pretty clear skin. However, I have wanted to have a routine in place, as I am trying to reduce the amount of break outs I have! I mean, what a great time to be writing this, considering I have just broken out with a few spots around my nose! I don't own a lot of skincare products, and its just because my skin rarely needs a full, deep cleanse, but these products I use on a daily basis. In the morning, I will only apply the last 3 products, just because I don't usually have a lot of time to focus on skincare! In the evenings, I start by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad, which thoroughly takes off my makeup, meaning I can skip the stage of cleansing. If I am feeling lazy however, I just remove my makeup with a makeup wipe. I then hydrate my face with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which helps my skin from not going dry in the summer months. This also gi...

3 ways to make your spotify 'aesthetic'

-

Music is something that makes me so happy, and you find me listening to it a lot of the time (as I’m writing this I have my summer playlist on), whether that be with my airpods in and being respectful to everyone, blasting out my records, or just having a party in my room (this happens more often than not!). I use and update my spotify account regularly, and like to keep it as ‘aesthetic’ as possible, and there are ways to do this. I will link my spotify below if you’d like any inspiration 😊 1.       Update your playlists regularly. New songs are released weekly, and you can often find songs that you forget about but never add them to playlists. By updating playlists, it means you’re not having the same selection of songs on repeat, which can eventually get boring. As well as adding new songs, removing songs you don’t like as much anymore or don’t fit a certain vibe in a playlist, it can help you to enjoy some playlists a lot more, rather than having to ski...

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new! I’m here with another extra collab post, I have been working with Vivian and Sairah from iridescent.photo.blog to bring you this cross over collab! The girls have just finished secondary school and are about to start sixth form/college, and I have just finished sixth form, I got my A-Levels (literally yesterday as I’m writing this). So, I am writing a letter to my 16 year old self, of what I wish I’d known, and the girls will write a letter to their 18 year old selves, which they can refer back to when they are in my position! I will link all of their socials, as well as their blog and post down below! Dear Amelia, I know you’re petrified to start sixth form in a brand-new place, with so many new people, and with a dress code that you’re not so keen on! But I tell you now, you’re going to enjoy the 2 years (most of the time) and you actually really like the dress code once you put your own spin on it! The bi...
