adventure is out there

Wears

Backpack- Scaramanga

Satchel- Scaramanga

I have SUCH an exciting collaboration to share with you all today. These stunning leather bags (from Scaramanga ) have been in my wishlist for quite some time. And what better way to show off their beauty than a little adventure in to the woods? 

Seriously, these bags are soooo comfy and I feel like a 1700's explorer when I wear them. All I need is my telescope and vintage map...

Happy summer guys and remember, adventure is out there!

exploring (a different kind)

I wanted to try something a little different today! As you probably know, I would love to travel. Unfortunately, my opportunities have been quite limited compared to some so I have found a simple alternative for the time being : Google Maps. (I imagine google earth is better for this challenge but downloading that looked like waaay too much effort!)

I have chosen/randomly five different places in the world on google maps, this morning, that just look so so so intriguing! Hopefully this will provide some inspiration, and maybe encourage you to try this out yourself?

1// Croatia

2// Ethiopia

3// Iceland

4// Venice

5// Maine, USA

I was intending on captioning each photo in more detail, before I decided against it. These pictures speak volumes without my ramblings tagged on the end... so instead I think I'll just say, wow! This earth is absolutely incredible... every crevice is a new wonder, every terrain a new experience, every city a new personality. Exploration is endless and one, just one day, I hope to venture further than the confinements of familiarity. I want to go to Africa and see the poverty; to go to India and open my eyes to their way of life; to go to Iceland and be chilled to the bone in awe! And when I do, I will document every step and share it with those who, like me, wish to explore.

Thank you for your responses to my last post - your comments made me smile and gave me many more ideas! I am off on holiday tomorrow but will take pictures to share (hopefully).

Explore,

latest buys + update

Hello! Honestly, I feel like I am in a bit of a blogging rut at the moment. Obviously I have been busy (what with going on NCS and just enjoying the first part of summer) yet I fear that it is not the only reason for my absence. I have many outfit posts lined up but I don't want to lose what made this blog personal. What made you guys like this blog so much. What made me like this blog so much. If you have any types of posts you would really like to see then please leave me a comment - it would be so helpful. I hope to post some more writing(y) type posts about being a teenager and maybe some more short stories? I don't know... I guess I'll just try and be creative!

Today, I wanted to share with you some of my most recent purchases AKA bargains! After being deprived of shopping for so long, it felt so great to get buying again. Here is a little snapshot of what has recently become members of my wardrobe:

1// These shoes are literally from the feet of a granny but I LOVE THEM. £4 from a charity shop and after  personalised with black ribbon they have become the quirkiest item in my wardrobe!

2// Primark shorts are such good value. The ones on the right were only £3! Perfect for summer on the beach.

3// Mom Jeans finally inhabit my wardrobe! Yes, they were expensive but for long lasting jeans that go with ANYTHING, I'd say it was worth £40. The retro tee is from a charity shop for £3. I had a browse in the men's section and fell in love.

Okay, so I feel like this was the WORST post I have ever written. I'm so out of touch with blogging after all my exams - please bear with me. As I said earlier, leave a comment with some ideas and keep smiling :)
