I Put A Spell On You - Halloween All Year with Killstar and Brim & Proper

If you follow me on Instagram, I'm not very subtle about keeping up with spooky season all year round in our house! And one of the benefits of having a birthday in the lead up to Halloween, is that there is every chance your gifts from wonderful friends will maybe be themed accordingly .

Since moving to Brighton a few months ago, I feel like a totally different person. It's always been my happy place, but with the sea breeze and and crashing waves, for the first time I feel like a person who is genuinely at home. I feel like a person who likes the summer. I feel like a person who has settled in.

So Hi There

 

So to let you know how far behind I am with writing blog posts, these photos were taken some time in September 2020. It's not that I lost interest in writing about fashion, but more that with everything going on in the world, it just felt incredibly frivolous. Between Covid, moving across cities (twice!) and trying to keep my head above water in all senses just like everyone else this last year, I guess this blog was the last thing on my mind. I kept posting on Instagram, but it's nice to have a place to come back to with some more longer form writing.

Strange Magic - Autumn tees with Joanie Clothing

Maybe it's because I've become so used to living in pyjamas, but I've found myself really getting into tshirts. I love them and their versatility - comfy, cute, perfect tucked into a skirt or jeans, and cosy when worn underneath a fluffy cardigan. Whereas dresses used to be my wardrobe staple, as we move into the winter with it's cooler temperature, tshirts have definitely made their case for space in my daily style. And Joanie Clothing seem to always have the cutest designs in stock, with these two  from their most recent sale moving right up into my most worn list.

When I originally shot these images, I had planned on making this more of an autumnal look since there is no way this dress is going to get much use during sunshine season. But I'm pulling a massive grumpy face in all of the photos where I'm wearing a jacket (probably because I was too warm!), so now we have some photos where I'm wearing a summer dress with tights and boots. Please imagine this look shot with with a fringed biker jacket on top, and me looking excited to drink some mulled spice apple juice!

Feeling Blue

Hello dear reader, the last few months have been strange all round for everyone, and like much of the general population, the only fashion I've been invested in are pyjama and jogging bottoms based. Bra? I don't know her. But as we're now trying to scramble for some sort of normal, it means I have to think about what's in my wardrobe again, and not just constantly rotate my three favourite sets of pyjamas. So this is the first on a series of posts of photos that I've sat on for months, meaning that much of what will be in the next few posts is probably now unavailable. I'll be sure to leave links where I can, but hopefully the photos themselves might create some outfit inspiration.
