Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017

Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017. A brand new year and a brand new start.

There is lots I could say or write.

It's been a hell of a year, good and bad and I am very thankful and grateful that you all have stayed with me. I am thankful for the friend old and new and the support I have received through the very hellish parts. 

Two Look Christmas Party

Two Look Christmas Party by hannahevickers featuring a pink purse

So how are we all enjoying this holiday season? Are we all thinking OMG how is it the 20th??? With 5 Days until Christmas I have compiled two outfits which look amazing with the main feature being the shoes, and don't they look amazing???
Who wouldn't want embroidered heels. 
Both looks feature the Sequined Jacket and embroidered heels, mainly because I just love them and they would make even the grinch festive...

A Helping Hand

Sometimes Christmas can be a very hard time of year, and so in the spirit of BigFashionista I am posting and sharing these numbers if you or someone you love may need them, just as a reminder that you are not alone. A huge thank you to those working and helping this holiday season, and thank you for Big Fashionista for letting me share these. 

Christmas Tag

To make up for the lack of posts and the here is a Christmas Tag. 

Gift Guide £20

I don't know what to say.
This blog has been very neglected for the past 12 weeks. Oops sorry huns.

Anyway despite me being super busy, and trying to do ethics forms and finding people with a dog to answer my dissertation questionnaire. Btw if you have a dog please hit me up on the the social channels,  I am getting super excited for Christmas and having some time off to actually chill and stop being so stressed.

Getting by in Autumn

Well this girl is very tired and definitely in need of some TLC, or a glass of wine. 

However I thought I would whip up a post while I am home alone, with a bit of Netflix. 

Now, as we all have noticed the weather has no idea what is going on. It looks cold but actually is tropical weather for late September, so here is my guide to getting by. Have a look. 

The Leibster award

Hey Lovely people, 

I was nominated by Courtney from Lifeascourtblog to do the Leibster award post and so here it is. Thank you Courtney!

Autumn Loves

Have you seen the confusing weather? 
Not knowing whether to wear summer or autumn clothes is just getting on my nerves. But look at all the pretty clothes coming in to shops. I am totally ready for Autumn now. 

Time For A New Suit

So who needs a new suit ? 

Because.....


TM Lewin is bringing out a brand new Suit design. The Infinity Suit!!!

It comes in Navy and Charcoal, Slim & Regular fit.

Lusting For Summer

As everyone is heading off and finishing all of their studies, and heading off on their holidays to the far off places of the world. I am still in Cambridge lusting after so many summer swimsuits and clothes.

What's in My Bag 2016

Well as I now only seem to use only a couple of my bag, with my main staple being my Topshop stitch bag for work and everyday use, it seemed a good idea to do an updated version of what is actually in the deep dark depths of my bag. 

Exciting Adventures

Well I have just eaten 2 packets of melon slices, and the weather today has put me in quite a good mood. And so I thought I would update y'all. 

His & Her. Day to Night

So the lovely guys at T.M. Lewin have given me a challenge to create a His and Hers look from Day to night. 

As the weather gets so much better, it's the time of year that going out for the evening straight from work is becoming more popular, so here are the looks from Day to Night, His &Hers. (All links will be down below.)

Blogging Journey

I started blogging for one reason and one reason only. To be creative. To have an outlet where I could share my thoughts, opinions, and to just let loose. 

Am I An Adult Now ?

I'm 21!!! 

And I have no idea what to do now! 


My Birthday was amazing. (Thanks Ben). Even though we had to get up early, we hopped straight onto the train at 7:30 and went straight to The Breakfast Club in London Bridge. The food was lush, but the service wasn't the greatest. 

Give Me A Break

This week has been very.. very... well tiring to say the least.

And Oh boy do I need a break. Luckily Ben and I are going to his parents for Easter.

So here are my favourite things to do when I need a break. 

Rambling about Nothing

This week has been super intense, with finishing up for my Easter break, and having a lot to do for all the fun things that I have planned.

This girl is one busy, anxious girl.

However my first week of Easter is just gonna be full of writing, and wanting to just chill out. Luckily I get to have my hair finally sorted. So many split ends.....

Springing forward

There are many things that I love about spring, and because this is the first post that I have put out in a long while.. Soz 'bout that.  I thought I would put together an outfit that I have definitely been wearing a lot in the interim until the weather decides to sort out itself out. I can't stand the 'it looks deceiving nice outside, but actually is horrible'. Anyway, most of my choices are from Topshop. Again can't help it, I see them every time I work. 

Mini Egg Anyone?

Well this girl officially has a cold... Definitely suffering...

Either way, this week has been very fun, in-between running around like a headless chicken, I have at least started one of my assignments... GO TEAM! But I have also been procrastinating, the amount of lists I have done saying everything I have to do this week, I could build myself a nest.

Love Me... (And My Secret)

Cancer. The hideous word it is. It has affected so many different people in so many different ways.

I was contacted about a week ago, by the lovely Morgan Dowler, who created the brand Love Me... (And My Secret), a brand which designs lingerie for women who have been affected by breast cancer. 

From Morgan's own experience, she found that there was nothing for women, who had undergone, and battled the disease, and so she created her own brand of lingerie specifically for women with breast cancer, using her marketing skills at university, and now she has created a one of a kind business out of it. 

Love Me... (And My Secret) Logo. All rights go to Love Me... (And My Secret).

Now I know at least 3-4 people who have had breast cancer, or whose family or friends have been affected by the disease, and I think that this is a wonderful thing that Morgan has created. It gives the women their femininity back, and now Love Me... (And My Secret) now has 4 bras that are comfortable, and pretty.

Launching on the 2nd of March, they are using real women who have suffered from the disease, to show that there is something for them in the market. It is a great business, and I am happy to help, such an amazing cause, and brand new business.

Ding, Ding Round Two

So would someone kindly tell me, where did January go ?
Like seriously where did it go... It only seemed like yesterday that I was celebrating the New Year in my pyjamas, drinking as much prosecco as I could.

January has been a good month, but also very trying (look to last post). I feel like the months, this year, are going to go super fast, I am turning 21 this year, and a few huge changes are happening to this blog, and my personal life.... Posts to follow.

Anyway, the reason for this post was to just to say that as you may have seen the blog has gone through some more visual changes. The most recent one being the template that you see now, this was due to the fact that this one you can see on your mobile devices alot better, i.e. it works with it.

Also I started my Second semester this week, and although it's alot of work, I am quietly excited. Praying this semester will NOT, I repeat NOT be full of crying or breakdowns.

As an ode to starting this year off with a bang, I had dinner at Jamie's Italian on Sunday, and OH MY DAYS, it was amazing!!!

I had the Pumpkin ravioli, and the Blackberry Mule. I cannot recommend it enough. 

It was just a good relaxing evening, with some very good friends. Hopefully to happen again soon.

Anyway now your up to date. I hope you have a good day.

Riding on a Rollercoaster

When will the weather actually decide what it wants to be? Like er, it was actually nice weather yesterday... What happened?

This week has been full of work, and a hella lot of stress. There isn't alot that I would want to say right now, but its been a rollercoaster. 

Either way, it's the weekend now, and I still have much more to do before Monday. 
Oh well, nothing a new bag could solve... or a creme egg. 

Ben brought back the nicest flowers today, the bloggers dream... tulips, and they are so pretty. Definitely instagram worthy.

This next week, marks the start of my second semester, and the proper saving scheme for my new laptop.... woo better technology. Also the dissertation meetings, and the preparations to be made for my project.
  
With the crappy weather going on right now, the thing I have to mention is my new scarf (link here). I always try to wrap up warm, especially when I'm heading off to work. Now with my matching gloves, I am starting to feel the essence of fashion, and practicality. 

For a while, I haven't really been myself, but for the first time this week, I have finally felt happier, more positive and more ME! 

Anyway, hope you all are having an amazing week, and have a good weekend.

Thank Goodness It's the Weekend

This week has been amazingly quiet, and relaxed. I have had a good amount of time to relax and chill, as well as spending sometime to have a day out with Ben in London, and doing some work after having my last exam.

I do feel a bit lonely, not having alot of outside time, can make me quite an annoying person. Although I do get some outside time to talk to people, aren't I lucky. 

I'm just watching Sherlock, having a whale of a time with a small glass of wine, at the moment, readying myself for the work tomorrow and the jobs that need doing but I just really CBA to do. Motivation went out of the window, along with the energy.

I always have had a soft spot for the weekend, usually I am working, but I still have time to relax, and have some time for myself so I can start to get things done.

The past week has been full of ups and downs, mainly ups, but i'm not gonna lie, the downs were down. But to get back in the full swing of things, I have decided on some posts that I am going to be doing, although still got to plan them out, as well as getting a bit more of a schedule, but we shall see how long that lasts. For now, I hope you all have a smashing weekend, and have a jolly good relax, and a good time....

Topshop Winter to Spring

Considering I haven't delved into the fashion market yet. I thought I would do a post about Winter to Spring fashion, from my favourite highstreet brand Topshop. I chose these items, because of their versalitity. Firstly I love Joni Jeans, they are the most comfortable things I own. Ripped jeans are still very much in, and with Topshop stocking quite a variety of shades of blue, grey to black, they are extremely versatile. The grey non-sleeved pocket top is completely simple, which you could dress up or down with accessorises. 
Then there is my favourite item of the look... the camel coat. It is warm, and so cosy, and so good for going inbetween Winter and Spring, it's light and yet provides enough warmth. 

The whole look can be accessorized with a variety of wooly hats, and any tote bag, with boots or trainers (like the ones i've put). With or without them the look still looks put together. 

All the links are below.

She Shoots She Scores...

As with every other blogger, I have goals, and I'm sure you are getting tired of reading all the goal posts. With the New Year here is the time that we all make promises to ourselves to get healthier, to eat better, to stop drinking, smoking, or eating chocolate. 

But sometimes these goals don't make it past the first 3 days of January. Sometimes they don't even make it past the first hour of January 1st. But here I have something to share with you. The reason we make these goals is because we want to better ourselves, but the way to do it is to make many, but small goals that are super easy to complete, like doing the washing up, or saving a fiver. That way we can still feel good that we completed something, and it's one of our goals for the year. 


So here are my totally realistic small goals for 2016. 

1. To complete all my revision for my January exams.

2. To save at least £100 pounds by the end of 2016.

3.  To change computers by my Birthday in April, it helps I'm 21 this year. 

4. To actually make the effort, and go see my friend in London.

5. To buy more food that I like eating. 

6.  To do more of the things that I like doing, like Blogging, and reading my books.  

7. To smile more. 

8. To be more proactive, whether it be Uni work, or the daily housechores, I really have to start doing the jobs that need doing. 

They may only be little goals, but they are going to be easy to complete, and who knows, this sassy girl might be able to do alot more that she originally thought.
