Highlight Reel

I love this quote, we all constantly compare ourselves with others picking out their best features and comparing them to our own worst. We beat ourselves up about the silliest things and are 1000x harsher on ourselves than we would ever dream of being on someone else! Wouldn’t it be great if we could all see ourselves through someone else’s eyes, our very own highlight reel? Try this, write down the top 5 things you hate about yourself, but write them in the third person. Then stand in front of a mirror and read out what you’ve written, would you ever even dream of saying those things to someone else?! Treat yourself with the same respect you would others! We would never say such hurtful things to someone else so why do we constantly do it to ourselves?! From now on I am going to only see my highlight reel and if I do criticize myself, I’ll balance it out with a compliment on something I love about myself! Sinead x

Payday Treat

So, I don’t know about you but I think after a hard month’s slog the least you can do for yourself is indulge in a little retail therapy, think of it as a payday treat from you to you! Personally, by the time my bank account is refilled I already have a list as long as my arm of things I need to buy! Don’t get me wrong I shop all month too, but there’s nothing like some guilt free shopping when you can actually afford it and don’t have to justify why you need a suede a line skirt ( you definitely do). Below I’ve put together some of the things I actually do need, I promise!! Those Russel & Bromley loafers are going to be mine one day, I swear to you! In the mean time I’ll settle for the rest of it.. and doesn’t everyone need some marble jewellery in their lives?!

The ‘IT’ Bag

If there’s one thing that all us girls aspire to it’s to own our very own ‘it’ bag. A piece of the glamorous lifestyles we see in magazines, something that finishes every outfit off and makes us feel a million dollars. Of course the original ‘it’ bag has to be the classic Chanel.. no post about handbags would be complete without it! For most of us the price tags make these just a dream, but the high street is starting to do some pretty great bags with some curiously similar features to designer goodies giving us regular girls our very own slice of handbag heaven! I’ve done some digging and found my favourite high street handbags and paired them with their designer counterparts! I’m sure there’s some kind of tying trick you can do to make that front bit look the same if you want to go the whole hog!

Charity Shop Find

Can you believe this cardigan is from a charity shop? Me neither! I’ve learnt to be quite thrifty recently and couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked into Cancer Research and saw this beauty hanging up! It’s so soft and the quality is amazing, for a mere £5.00!! I love the length, though it’s a bit tricky to wear with jackets so might be worn a lot more when the weather get’s better! I’m not a big fan of colour, so I think camel is the perfect accent to my black, white and grey wardrobe! I’ve dressed it up a bit with my black coated jeans from Topshop, and my heeled sliders but it’s the sort of cardigan you can wear with pretty much anything! I’ve always been one to pop in to charity shop’s on occasion, but finding gems like this remind me that you can find such great quality items at a fraction of the price, plus no one else will have it!

Hello!

Welcome to my brand spanking new blog! For my first post I thought I would keep it simple with a little intro to me and the blog. I’m a fashion stylist/personal stylist based in the UK, and have decided to set up a blog that focuses on my two main loves; Styling and Mindfulness. To save this post from being a boring essay on me and who I am and what I do, I thought I would make it fun with a magazine-eque questionaire so you can get to know me a bit better! Favourite Colour? Yellow What did you have for breakfast? Fruit with natural yogurt and a cup of tea! Starsign? Gemini Whats your idea of a good night out? Pizza and wine with good friends Cats or Dogs? It definitely used to be cats.. we have three.. but then we got a puppy (cockapoo) and I’ve never looked back! What one meal would you eat for the rest of your life if you could only have one thing? Curry!! Secret Talent? I can pick up a mug with my toes Can’t live without? Cake! My weakness! If I wasn’t a stylist I would be.. A graphic designer, I love photoshop! What makes you laugh? EVERYTHING! I’m always laughing and I’ve been told that it’s a fairly aggressive laugh! I will be keeping the blog updated three times weekly on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the odd post thrown in here and there! Sinead x
