So I haven't blogged in a month. My last post was June 30 and to be honest with you, it's because I've felt lost with this space. For the majority of this summer, I haven't really known where I want to take this space of mine.

I have such a love for beauty and style but I'm not always 100% sure how to express it. I also question what this space contributes to this community. While I write because it's therapeutic and relaxing for me, I do have a desire to help others through this platform. Otherwise, I would just keep a scrapbook for myself. I want to find a better way of adding my own personal touch, so that it becomes just that much more meaningful.

I want this space to be an expression of who I am as a person. I'm a girl, in her early twenties, trying to finish school and decide what she wants to do with her life. I have all these interests and questions about the world, and I want to use this space to share them with anyone who wants to listen (or read for that matter). 

This summer has been one full of questions. I can't really say it's been a relaxing summer, but it hasn't been hectic either. I feel like I've gone through the motions but haven't lived the life experiences. I want to push myself harder to strive for more and not feel stuck in certain situations. 

Don't like your job? Find a new one. Aren't happy with your life? Try something new. Want to master a new skill? Just. Do. It. I may be a little late to the party but here's to me finally doing the things that make me happy instead of just complaining about certain aspects of my life. 

I'm well aware that this is all easier said then done. However, I think I'm finally in a mental state that is strong enough to push through and accept that I have to make my own decisions for my happiness rather then simply wait for them to fall into my lap.

These photos were taken a while back but I still love the outfit in general and find it perfectly sleek and polished for a summer evening :)

Thank you for reading and I hope my little word vomit has inspired just a drop of motivation to carry on pushing to be the best version of you

I've had this skirt for a few seasons now and I've completely fallen back in love with it. I first got it for a vacation, thinking that I wouldn't wear it much afterwards, but it's so easy to pair with pieces in my wardrobe, that it's become a true staple.
How can I gush about this top without sounding like a complete mess? I've loved it since the first time I saw it, in a pile of my Mum's old pieces. I noticed the beautiful crochet detailing straight away and knew I'd find interesting ways of wearing it. I also love how it used to belong to my Mum and while I've had it for a few years now, I can pull it out every summer and it never looks dated or out of style.   

This outfit is great because you can wear it super casually (Here) or it pairs really nicely with any heeled sandal for a dressier occasion. I think this look would be perfect for a more casual, outdoor summer wedding. And because the skirt and top are neutral colours, you can pair them with any kind of bright, pop of colour accessory. You could definitely pair this with a rosy-nude heel and a bright red clutch for that extra sparkle to the outfit. 

Also, on a different note, these heels are the most amazing things. They may get dirty quite quickly but they're so comfortable and wearable that the extra time putting into keeping them clean is definitely worth it.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week and taken full advantage of the summer heat <3
