She heard Christmas before she saw it. Cascading white veils, the ethereal chorus of nature's whispered hymn. Laughter dancing through the frost-kissed air, imprints of innocence. Each snowflake a fleeting moment of grace and solace. Falling gently, finding their own story. For Christmas was a season of joy, where the world was bathed in a warm and festive light. Though there were Christmases that she wished would be erased from her memory, there were others that made her glow. Christmases where the air was perfumed with sugared cookies. A dusting of icing sugar on the kitchen counter. Indulgence taking hold, with delicacies that made her mouth water. Hot chocolates steeped in marshmallows, ... read more

Unique Autumn Staycation Ideas In The UK
The golden hues of summer were fading into autumn. Days growing shorter, the clocks turning back. The verdant lush greens now rich earth tones. A ballet dance of burnt orange leaves. A sip of pumpkin spice latte, frothed milk. Hair trailing down your back, whipped by frantic wind. The air cooler, less kind. Enveloped in a tulmotous storm. Sticky-sweet hazy summer days gone, a rain cloud in its place. An umbrella splattered with rain-drops, in the hush of morning. Abandoning the world's relentless chase, she'd embark on a short autumn break. Ambrosia for the soul, engulfed in tides of tranquility. But where would she go? She would embrace the beauty of the UK.

How To Colourblock In Spring With Very UK
She could taste spring on the horizon. Creeping warm and green, in the lightness of the springtime sun. Singing sweet melodies as the grass grew long, the first smatterings of daffidols. Vibrant yellow blooms, as sugary as frosting. She heard the familuar buzz, the plump bumblebees engorged with nectar, dozing peacefully. Though the wind blew clouds over the sky, the bee remained content. Coaxed into sleepy oblivion, a dreamlike state. The mountains loomed, and the valleys beckoned, cradled in Mother Nature. The sun still high in the sky, illuminating her in a golden light. Her, who came bequeathed in her finery. A lurid orange midi dress, with puffed ruched sleeves. Emblazoned with green ... read more
Colourful Underwear Styling Hacks With Step One
She lay on the couch, wild hair scraped back into an orange headband. Feet caressed by the soft plumpness of the tartan throw, nuzzled in fluff. It was unseasonally quiet outside, the odd toot of a horn. The resounding sound of silence, blissfully sweet. It was rare that she could cherish these moments to herself. Sure, the cats were mewling, looking for attention. Circling around her legs, like she was made out of catnip. But they too settled down, lulled by the dull greyness of the stormy sky outside. Unpreturbed, she hummed to herself wistfully. Looking down at her scaggy underwear, fraying at the seams. Underwear that had seen better days. Though it helped her feel body confident in the ... read more

Colourful Veganuary Gift Ideas For Foodies
There was something sacred about food. A natural cologne, wafting smells of home in euphoric scent. Aromas dancing underneath her nostrils, she breathed it in with sheer ecstacy.

Smatterings of vegan parmesan scattered atop, garnished with unami rich black garlic. Breathe in, breathe out. Food was more than just a routine to A. It was a way of life.

Colourful Christmas Gift Ideas For Quirky Adults

Still, it wasn't until recently that she truly allowed herself to experiment with colour. Monochromatic eco-friendly Christmas green essembles, a welcome contrast to the grays and blacks that London was in permenantly. Ochre yellows in a sunshine glaze, cobalt blues with dusky teals.

Three cats dozing peacefully on tartan sofas, a heavily stacked bookshelf, with cascading tinsel. For Christmas was a ... read more
Why Newlife Stores Is Reshaping Thrifted Fashion
Discovering thrifting, was like finding love at first sight. Rails of shirts, dresses, and skirts gleamed enticingly under the glare of the shop lights, imploring me to come closer. Despite the musty smell that emanated, I fell hard. A young teen on a budget, who had just started her first job, taught to be precacious with money. It was like Christmas had come early, aisles full of treasure that sparkled oh so gloriously. 7o's flouncy maxi skirts, and 60's mini's, 50's petticoats, and 90's chokers, a crash course into fashion history. There were vintage fashion accessories too; faux pearl layered necklaces, and chunky belts. Those [at the time] trendy UGG boots, that you waved around like it ... read more
Vintage Fashion Accessories That Changed History
I love time-travelling back into fashion eras, that define fashion history. Sure, I was born in the 90's (button jewels or covers will never get old) but my escapism is rooted in the 60's and 70's, with a hint of the 50's. My personal style is eclectic, a mix of trends, Parisian 40's style berets, and 60's style skirts. Eccentric floral prints, from the 70's, with 90's style jewellery. A touch of art deco creeping in from the 30's, and petticoat swing dresses from the 50's a delightful blend. I don't follow trends per say, but its undeniable that I love vintage fashion. Why? Because it takes me back into the past, experiencing an era I didn't live in, like watching an old movie. Its ... read more
