Floral Reboot
16/03/2018
I really didn't want to start this blog addressing how I've not blogged for ages and how I swear I'm going to be better, because in all honesty we all know how that ends. I'm shit at been good at this. And I definitely did not want to address how Instagram has ruined this whole process for me but I'm not sure how to start a new blog post after three months without saying these things - so here they are; I'm sorry I'm so shit at this and I'm sorry I let Instagram get the better of me and my creativity for a while there, but I think I'm finally over it all.
For a while I was convinced I'd never look at this blog again, I'd lost sight of what I was doing it for, who I was doing it for and what I was hoping to achieve - truth is, I started this blog for myself, with no real big intentions; I never cared if no one ever read it so why do I care now? As soon as I realised this I snapped out of my self pity mood and truly understood how important I am to my own happiness.
A friend of mine, someone I don't see often at all, who is one of my biggest online supporters (I'll refer to her as Jolene for dramatic affect) saw me sinking I think and sent me the best article I've read on this whole social media/blogging subject, it's titled "Stop Blogging About Blogs Dying and Start Doing Something About it" how fitting! After reading this I kinda realised that the more I talk about this stuff on here the more you as readers are going to get sick of it and the more I'm going to loose motivation - unfortunately the blogging world has changed slightly but I was never a huge part of it in the first place so why do I not just do my own thing and hope for the best?

I shot these pictures with a friend of mine who I'd not actually seen in a very long time - barring drunkenly bumping into each other at the bar numerous times throughout the year, and for his first fashion photography shoot I am so impressed with the outcome! I felt such at ease working with him (and if you've ever shot in a busy street before you'll understand when I say it can be a little bit scary, and you do, more often then not, look like a weirdo) but despite this he was able to capitulate what I wanted! I'll leave his links down below so you can check out his other work!
This outfit was inspired by various different looks at LFW. Not only is this dress part of one of my favourite trends to date by Topshop it also works as a great transitional piece into S/S18. I spent the majority of winter searching for the perfect floral dress to wear with leather knee high boots and I can confirm that that is a winner! I'll definitely be wearing this well into the summer months with red sling back or even white trainers for a dress down approach! It is a bit loud and probably not everyone cup of tea but if you know anything about me you'll know that I generally go for the items that normal people run away from! I've always been the same, and I'm not about changing now!
I paired this dress with a huge puffer, puffer jackets have been massive this season again, not only are they practical they look amazing with everything. My general working week sees me starting work at 6am, so this little baby has been a god send for when the weather is awful! I have taken so much inspiration for gals rocking the puffer jacket with dresses - despite taking risks with fashion I'd always kept my puffer jacket for more dressed down days, often paring it with Jean or even wearing it to the gym! Not anymore!
It feel so nice to be back typing on my blog! I really have found my love of fashion trends again and researching different looks to put together - even if I'm the only person that ever reads this blog again - I'm happy.
Huge thank you to Callum for not laughing at my questionable outfit choices and I look forward to working with you again before you jet off to Aus!
And thank you to you, for reading this and the endless support you have all given me over Instagram, Facebook, in person at Piper.. I remember and appreciate you all
