Personal fashion and musings
Wherever you live on your own for the first time is bound to have a lasting impact on your life. It's the place you learn to be fully independent (along with a dysfunctional family in the form of your flatmates): to cook your own meals, do your own washing, manage your weekly budget (less said [...]
The dreamy bank holiday has left me feeling like I’ve actually been on my holidays. When taking these photos it was as if we were genuinely exploring a city abroad and for a moment I forgot I was still in Nottingham and that I still have uni work to do… I’ve managed to even catch [...]
