Hat – H&M Top – Primark Scissors – Primark Sorry I don’t have an outfit post for you just as yet, this is going to be a manic week for me so I will catch up with the back log of clothes and outfits this weekend, pinkie promise! But as I said on Twitter the other day, I had come up with a way to keep my pretty new hat on my pea head as when wearing a hat it most certainly should not be a chore, it should look effortless and on my Uni Campus that is impossible without super gluing it to your head….Or so I thought! Don’t ask me how I came up with this idea but here goes: Tools: Hat        2 (or more if you wish) Hair grips        Nail Scissors #1 Buy a hat! I know its an excuse to go shopping yey! But I would say this probably works best with a black hat however I do know you can get brown hair grips so it may not be too visible with a brown hat also. Probably wouldn’t make it an expensive hat either as you will be making cuts, albeit small, right through the material. #2  Work out where on your head you feel would be the best place to secure your hat to your hair. I went with just above my ears, but thats totally up to you. #3 Take the Nail Scissors and make two TINY incisions in the fabric, I didn’t even make the cutting motion with the scissors, I just gently pushed the sharpest edge through the fabric a little. You don’t want the hair grips slipping and sliding. #4 Thread the first little slidey edge of the grips into the hole but DO […]

Hat – H&M
Top – Primark
Scissors – Primark

Sorry I don’t have an outfit post for you just as yet, this is going to be a manic week for me so I will catch up with the back log of clothes and outfits this weekend, pinkie promise!
But as I said on Twitter the other day, I had come up with a way to keep my pretty new hat on my pea head as when wearing a hat it most certainly should not be a chore, it should look effortless and on my Uni Campus that is impossible without super gluing it to your head….Or so I thought!
Don’t ask me how I came up with this idea but here goes:
Tools: Hat
       2 (or more if you wish) Hair grips
       Nail Scissors
#1
Buy a hat! I know its an excuse to go shopping yey! But I would say this probably works best with a black hat however I do know you can get brown hair grips so it may not be too visible with a brown hat also. Probably wouldn’t make it an expensive hat either as you will be making cuts, albeit small, right through the material.
#2 
Work out where on your head you feel would be the best place to secure your hat to your hair. I went with just above my ears, but thats totally up to you.
#3
Take the Nail Scissors and make two TINY incisions in the fabric, I didn’t even make the cutting motion with the scissors, I just gently pushed the sharpest edge through the fabric a little. You don’t want the hair grips slipping and sliding.
#4
Thread the first little slidey edge of the grips into the hole but DO NOT push the hair grip all the way through.
#5
Place hat on your head and push the fabric of the hat where the grips are right onto your head, then slide the grips into your hair securing as much hair in the grip as possible. (if you have fine hair you can always back comb the area where the clip will go as this holds EVERYTHING in place.
And there you have it, a Hat that’s going no where fast. I’ve worn my hat like this all day at Uni over the past week and it hasn’t budged, even in the gail force winds we have up there.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
