It's been a little while since I posted on here and I apologise for that. I don't know whether I lost my blog mojo, whether my current slightly hectic life made me put it to one side or whether it was the fact that I was begrudgingly beginning to accept that maybe blog's just aren't what they used to be. It's a bit of a tricky time for blogs in my opinion. It's no secret that us bloggers have all been wondering whether old school blogs, like this, have had their day. 

Whilst we all complain about Instagram and the algorithm and how tough it is on there right now, the reality is that Instagram is where it's at at the moment. It's current, it's fast paced, it's easily accessible and to be quite honest, it's all around easier. Not that I'm saying that what we do as influencers is easy, because believe me, it's not. But the difference between getting your camera out, going and shooting a full outfit post, uploading and editing 17 photos and then writing content compared with snapping a quick Instagram photo, writing a snappy caption and posting there and then is vast. And when you start to realise (and see many twitter comments in agreement) that iPhone photos tend to perform a lot better than camera photos, you do start to wonder what the point is.

I did a little poll not long ago and it was somewhat 50/50 as to whether people still read blogs, to my surprise, maybe slightly more weighing towards 'Instagram only' votes. And it has made me wonder whether all the effort that goes into these posts is worth it. I've also noticed a hell of a lot of branded content requests coming through as Instagram only these days, compared to this time last year, which really says something to me.

For me, I love Instagram images. I can take and edit and post on the go, my content is always relevant to what I am doing or where I am and I don't have to lug a camera around. I have been posting a lot more on Instagram these days and enjoying my content a lot more, which to me is pretty important. But that being said, sometimes I feel the need to come on here and write or rant a little. Or to show you guys some more outfit details because lets be honest, that's why I started this blog in the first place, to show you my outfits. So, whilst keeping my Instagram up to date daily, a little blog post here and there will still be a priority for me and I will be doing my best to do it more often, even if it's just for me.

I don't know about you guys but as soon as I saw this blazer it just screamed summer. The colour, the white buttons, I just love it. Plus when I saw it came with a matching skirt I was so excited. Not excited enough to purchase it straight away unfortunately (well, that was more my bank account's doing) and I missed out on the skirt as it sold once before I actually got round to purchasing. But once I set my mind on something, I WILL find it somewhere. 

Welcome to part 2 of the USA road trip chronicles, Nashville. Whilst we knew that our first destination was going to be Florida, we didn't actually know where we were going to go next. Whilst we were there, hurricane Harvey was underway in the gulf coast and it was causing a lot of destruction, which ultimately led to a little re jigging of our plans. We decided to head straight up to Nashville.

Now that it's Spring I feel like it's ever so slightly more acceptable to wear white and cream. This River Island blazer has barely been off my shoulders since it arrived. I love the material, it makes the jacket look a little more casual and laid back. River Island have some great bits online right now actually, I picked up some amazing ribbed bodysuits as well which I will show you guys soon.

All of a sudden it's starting to feel a little more like spring. Lighter evenings, slightly warmer days and even slighter bursts of sunshine. I always tell myself that I prefer winter, the styling, the weather, but I always do feel a little excited when spring starts to arrive because that means that summer is on the way, and that definitely is my favourite. 

There's nothing better to me than finishing work on a Friday, the sunshine beaming in through the windows and knowing you can go and grab a glass of wine in the sun in a cute little beer garden or courtyard. I think maybe that might be a British thing though. Take today for example. The skies are blue, the clocks have gone back and I can guarantee that someone in my local Tesco will be wearing a skirt and sandals despite it being 8 degrees. I guess we have to make the most of these short bursts of sunshine because they are few and far between.

This little Mango bag will definitely be my bag of the summer. It automatically adds that extra bit of 'fashun' to an outfit and I have been on the look out for the perfect tan bag for a while. Mango have some amazing pieces online now and I can't wait to do a bit of a haul ready for summer.
