DISNEY, DUBLIN AND FESTIVAL FUN

As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023!  I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff

OLD ENGLISH CO. HAUL & REVIEW


For all you stationery and homeware lovers, I've got a haul that you're going to enjoy today! I recently shared a competition that Old English Company were running and looking through their site made me so excited to get some bits of my own! I sort of wish I was redecorating or moving into a new house because their stuff would be so perfect for that, anyway let me share some of the bits that caught my eye!

'Notes' A5 Notebook

For as long as I can remember I've been a hoarder of notebooks, mostly for my extensive list making! Since starting my blog I've used notebooks to plan blog post ideas quite a lot and I had started to come to the end of the one I'd been using so it was definitely time to get a new addition! It's great quality and I also really like the simplicity of the design too. 

Grey and Gold Planner

Being organised is something I'm always trying to improve, I would say I'm fairly good at it but hey if a planner can help even more then who can say no! I love writing and planning so this is definitely something I'm going to get a lot of use out of, it did take a while to choose which colour I liked best though! I loved the pink one and the pearlescent writing on the black one but grey is one of my go-to colours at the moment and if I was ever redecorating then grey would definitely be a part of the colour scheme!

Monstera Leaf Keyring

Tropical leaves are definitely popular right now and I'm totally into it, I think they're so pretty and this dainty keyring is no exception. I was on the lookout for a new keyring to jazz up my keys a bit and I think I've found an ideal one here!



'Fancy A Cuppa' Mug 

In the past few years, I've started drinking more and more hot drinks - mostly tea because it's just the best but anyway, this means I've been needing more mugs. Actually, that's a lie, I have loads of mugs but most are ones I've had years, a lot are from Easter eggs haha! There are so many mugs with cute, funny and relatable quotes on the website but this particular one stood out to me most and I love the calligraphy style font. Also, it's the perfect size for me too!

'There Is Beauty In Simplicity' Print

Now, this was actually just the thank you note that they put in the parcel but I really liked that they used one of their prints instead of it just being a plain bit of paper, it seems more personal in a way! Also, this quote is something I agree with for sure and the font is my sort of thing, essentially you get a free mini print! 



British Food Map Print

I am so obsessed with this, I just love the whole idea of it and can't wait to get a frame for it so I can put it up on the wall! Britain is home to many classic foods and this features almost everything you could think of, I also like that it's arranged in terms of location too. As a massive lover of food, this is something that's right up my street, I wonder how many things I've eaten on there! I just think it's so creative and would definitely look great in a kitchen or anywhere really as it's so simple but really effective!

'There's No Place Like Home' Card

This is actually a greeting card but I'll probably keep it and use it as a mini print as it's too nice to give away! The reason I picked this particular one out is because the quote is obviously very well known from The Wizard of Oz which is one of my all time favourite films ever. I've loved it from about 2 or 3 so as soon as I saw this I couldn't resist, I love the light blue and the design itself too so I just had to get it!



Overall I was really pleased with everything I bought, all of it so aesthetic don't you think! There was so many other lovely things as well from coasters and tea towels to pillow cases, enamel pins or pocket mirrors! It arrived really quickly and it is all great quality so is completely worth it if you're thinking of buying something! I'd actually really love to know if you've already got anything from Old English Company or if there is anything on your wishlist!

*Disclaimer: I was given a voucher for one of my previous posts which I used to get these items, all opinions are my own and I was not required to do this post.

Head over to Asos for a huge selection!  Jacket - Another one that is useful for the colder weather, personally I'd like a denim jacket this Christmas but you could also go for a leather, smarter or bomber jacket. Have a look on Topshop for some inspiration!        Image via: Topshop  Shirt - This is definitely something I know my Dad would appreciate and would be a great present if you tend to dress smarter on Christmas day! There are some great choices at John Lewis and Marks and Spencer.  Slippers - Another ideal gift for this time of the year and so cosy,  Next  have some great ones!  Converse - Another one that is on my l

1 YEAR OF BLOGGING!

I did it, a whole year of blogging! I'm so glad that I stuck at it because I enjoy it so much and can't believe how much progress I've made with it all. Not only that, but I've connected to so many people all around the world which is just amazing, I can't wait to see what the next year working on my blog brings! Anyway, here is a sum up of my blogging journey so far. What I've achieved - Just over 50 posts which is equal to roughly 1 per week, and I'm definitely pleased with that! I started off slow and could have probably done a lot more but at least I've got something to work towards! - Hit 1.5k+ followers on my blog Twitter account and also had 30.5k impressions in my best month - Reached 200+ followers on my blog Instagram account after starting to properly use it in May - Had 2562 viewers on Pinterest in one day and an average of around 1000 - Over 9000 pageviews, the fact that I'm on the way to 10,000 blows my mind! -

MID-YEAR GOALS

Since we're halfway through the year I thought I'd do some reflecting and wanted to refocus on some goals to work towards for the rest of 2018. I like having something to work towards whether it's more short-term or something that I'd like to improve over time. I've tried to include a range of things so I can target different aspects of my life! Blogging Goals Hit 2000 followers on Twitter - I just hit 1.5k so 2000 is my next goal! I'm really pleased with how my Twitter following is growing as it's my favourite social media and way to connect! Hit 500 followers on Instagram - My blog account is pretty new & I'm still learning to use it for blogging but I hope to reach at least 500 followers. Work with more companies - It's so rewarding when brands contact and want to work with you so I'd love to work with more companies, I've not had much experience of it but have done a couple of reviews!
