Ripped Denim Overalls
September 16, 2016 • fashion
Denim overalls have been a thing for a while now and something I'm just as much obsessed with as anybody else right now. I never thought about trying out their more trendy/ edgy ripped versions which are also in so many stores especially because I didn't know how much wear I would get out of them. I was pleasantly surprised with these ripped overalls from Romwe* which were very inexpensive compared to so many other ones I've spotted and I really liked that it was lightweight and not too thick which would make it very uncomfortable for hot summer days like this particular one.
I think it is a great starter piece to experiment with and see if this style is for me before I invest in more expensive ones. These are way more versatile than I thought they were going to be when it comes to styling in different ways. I decided to go the feminine look with a white, lacey, mock neck top tucked into it. I can imagine how great it would look with a cropped t-shirt and sneakers too. I also found a reason to sneakily bring out little bits of burgundy (although it's far too early) - the burgundy satchel and my favourite mock-croc block heels from New Look ( last year).
I liked the straight cut of these more than the mom jeans style and the fit was nice and makes for a little edgier outfit for days when I do want to dress up a little more and have an alternative to plain jeans. What's your favourite type of overall? Skinny, Ripped, Mom cut or Flares?

September 9, 2016 • mixtape, music
Hello! I’m coming to you with a little bit of a different post than my usual and I have a very good reason for that. Bastille
released their second studio album after THREE whole years yesterday. I've been listening to it non-stop for the entire day and I
thought I needed to talk about it. It has been such a long wait. If you ask me
the cheesy question – “Who are the top 5 bands you’d like to see live?”
Bastille will make that list of mine. I’ve been obsessed with them ever since I
heard their first album.
I discovered them on Tumblr in 2013 when their first album had just come out. People on tumblr have really good taste in music and I used to frequently browse for my indie music fix and always found some great recommendations that I listen to till this day. The first song I listened to was “Flaws” and I was in love. Then I went onto hearing one of their most popular songs “Pompeii” which was the one played on the radio loads and remixed with a lot of edm mixes. The song that made them "popular" all over the world.

Rewatching Gilmore Girls in 2016
September 6, 2016 • lifestyle
1. Tristan being the bad guy in the
first two seasons just caught me off guard now. I hated him before but it
was extremely difficult to hate him now that he has been glorified in my mind
as Lucas Scott (from One Tree Hill)
2. Stars Hollow is the cutest town ever. I loved
every little shop and landmarks in the town. The “Bluebell” from Hart of Dixie
( another one of my absolute favourites) shares the same set as Stars Hollow.
Hart of Dixie recently finished in 2014 and I could almost imagine Zoe Hart
popping up at the town square or on the streets. It was all so fresh in my
mind.
3.I love how ironic it is that
“Dean” from Gilmore Girls ended up playing the brother to one famous “Dean
Winchester” *Swoons* Also, Dean is my favourite from all of Rory’s
boyfriends. Update: I'm a leaning towards Jess now..anyone but Logan.
4.“I had the same pants in High
School. I’m in again” – Lorelai when she was visiting Harvard with Rory.
I wonder what Lorelai would say
if she saw everything in the shops since the last year or so. Mock neck tops,
chokers, choker neck tops, flared jeans, wrap dresses..Omg,It’s Lorelai
everything. She would freak out!
5.How many jobs does Kirk work? I
remember an episode where someone actually kept count of it but God knows how
many more he worked after that. That man is unstoppable.
6.The Friday Night Dinners were
possibly some of the funniest scenes, especially in the first three seasons. I loved
when they went to those and they always ended up in drama. I actually missed
Emily’s character when Lorelai would fight with them over periods of time.
Kelly Bishop is fantastic in it!
Bookmarks for Crappy Days #2
September 2, 2016 • advice, bookmarks for crappy days, lifestyle
Hello! I’m back with the second
edition of these “bookmarks” for some instant cheer me up, inspirational pages
on the web that I definitely look to when I’m feeling low or when I'm in a particularly
grumpy mood. If you're having a crappy day, this one's for you!
She is an
instagramer I found on accident one day as I was scrolling through some hashtags and it turns out she is the holy grail of
typography accounts. I am absolutely in love with her calligraphy pictures.They are bright, colourful and she always has a bunch of really inspiring “nerdy”
quotes(especially Harry Potter). If you like a lot of fandoms or simply are a
bookworm then you will love this account. I find her lettering videos so
calming and I can watch those back to back for so long without getting bored. However, if you’re more into girly, feminine
quotes and style then lhcalligraphy is an account worth following! Her account
is so darling.
If you already watch Caitlin’s
beauty and lifestyle videos on youtube, you may have seen this as it
is from March. She puts up artsy videos in between all her beauty content and I think they are really fantastic.
This is one of those videos which believe it or not is a sponsored video but I
think she did such a great job on this and it has 30,000 views on it which I
think is far too less for the effort that went into it. She deserves so much
more recognition as this video really inspired me to travel and also be
creative. I love watching it back.
What is possibly better than a
cup of tea when you’re feeling a little down to cheer you up? I practically
need tea or coffee on an IV on days like these. I like how they shared 3
different & interesting ways to make tea making it a little bit more fun to
experiment with some new flavours and they also seem to be very calming. Double
bonus! The blue mellow is something that I’m hoping to try next. Also, these
boys are a blast to watch. They are always so funny and cheery and I like
watching their videos even though I’m not the world's greatest cook and could barely attempt some of the recipes they share. I live for these easy, 5 minute recipes.
Here’s a link to this lovely graphic
design blogger’s free printable archive.
She has this series called Monday Motivation where she gives out a
free motivational printable every week on a monday. All you need to do is sign
up for the newsletter and you get a nice little printable in your email. It’s
such a nice treat for Monday mornings especially when the Monday feeling is
catching up with me. I usually print them out or use it as a wallpaper or phone
wallpaper and I just love the feeling of having one positive quote every week
in bright colours, fonts and designs. It’s also perfect for framing some for
your desk or bedroom.
#5 Quotes - Overheadla
Another instagram link you say? Trust me this one's way different than anything I've ever seen before. It's an account that takes anonymous submissions from people in LA of anything funny they've overhead and they share them like a quote. I know LA is one of the most glam cities in the world and I fantasize about it just as much as anyone else but it's so fun knowing a little bit more about the real people of LA, their lifestyle etc. Some of these quotes should make it to TV show scripts to be honest, they're hilarious. One scroll through their feeds and you'll find yourself in fits of laughter. I do, everytime!
