Artist: Adam Trump at Ritual Tattoo, Guernsey On Friday, I made a huge commitment. No, I didn't tie the knot with my very handsome boyfriend (that won't happen for quite some time, but maybe someday). I got a chest tattoo. I made the decision to become far more tattooed than my parents ever anticipated when I got my very first tattoo at seventeen. I am now (technical term coming up) pretty-reasonably-tattooed (okay, I was joking about the technical term).  In this post I'll give a quick overview on how I came up with the concept, a description of the design process and talk about time/pain/difficulty-sitting. I hope you enjoy my thoughts, but just a quick note to politely ask that no-one copies my idea/design exactly. If this post has inspired you, I'm flattered, but please respect my tattoo artist's work and my individuality and find a design unique to you. Thank you in advance! Anyway, on to the experience!  Unfortunately (for some), the

Good evening folks!  Today I present: two very different coats, two very different outfits (which both are representations of a style-war I fight in each day - crazy and bright vs. vintagey and slightly more classic). I hope these outfits give you a little bit of inspiration as to how to put together a faux-fur-coat-based outfit! If not, I hope I will at least entertain you a little.  This outfit is honestly one of my favourite I've ever put together, sorry to brag. It's out-there enough to satisfy my thirst for eccentricity but also put-together enough for me to pass as sort-of-fashion-forward. This jacket is absolutely beautiful (but I am allergic to it, haha) and I can't stop wearing it. My apologies if you're an instagram follower of mine and are so darn sick of seeing it.  I teamed *the coat* (insert jazz-hands here, it deserves it!) with a Miss Selfridge dress, which I will always praise to the high-heavens (and not just because I work there).

Evening folks! If you follow my instagram, these pictures will be nothing new, but for those of you who might stumble across me via the actual interwebs, then this is for you! The thoughts which accompany this post will be new to all of you lot though (I'll try to generate something fresh and interesting!)  I flipping love this coat, and at a mere £6 from Cancer Research, you really can't go wrong. This outfit was a challenge to myself: I never wear black and only black - it feels wrong, I thirst for colour, pattern, and yet I felt awesome in this ensemble. The coat was a comfort when outside and feeling lack-lustre, and the sport socks (Topshop, may I add) broke up the outfit.  Additional details! Jumper: charity shop Jeans: Miss Selfridge  Shoes: Dr Martens  This outfit was the one I wore to my family's Christmas party and seemed to spark many (albeit back-handed) compliments, which went as follows.  Person-who-is-not-Louise: 'Ah Louise,

My inconsistency in life is, quite possibly, my least favourite personal quality. I just cannot seem to stick at things, bar a few exceptions, which include: Instagram, reading and my relationship. Unless something offers instant gratification, I struggle to keep at it. It seems a lot of us humans have a problem with this: no dopamine hit, no continuation.  However, it's 2018 and I want to turn things around, a lot of us do. I want to become the person I know I could be: consistent (Q: how many times will this darn word feature here? A: lots and lots and lots), organised and hard-working.  Consistency is an art that few master in a lifetime. It often is fuelled by passion, a thirst for success and general enthusiasm surrounding the activity. I am passionate about blogging and sharing style adventures. Life just sweeps me away, leaving me awash with anxiety about the future and feeling incredibly uncertain and undecided about everything that ever existed and will eve
