Everyday Fashion: Accidental Fashionista


The weather has been seriously conspiring against my efforts to blog. First it snowed - which could have been good except it melted really quickly into a grey slush - then it rained & now it is unendingly cold & grey & miserable.
Add to that a schedule (not mine) that has made going to town (where most of my in door photos are taken) impossible & you will end up with a very frustrated blogger.

These pictures were taken on Tuesday after I got back from yet another fruitless photo taking mission. I'd had to remove my belt (my abdomen was screaming at me) & I was at my new desk working out some of my frustration playing with mixed media (my new obsession).

Everyday Fashion


This coming Sunday, so two days after this post goes live, I have a HUGE Powerchair football tournament. I've been trying to rest ever since football finished last Saturday, I had it all carefully planned. If I took outfit photos on Monday, saved up all this weeks scrapbooking to do at the end of the week so I really, really rested & didn't do training on Saturday I would probably be able to manage it. Especially if I rested all of the following week.
So on Monday morning, with my 'high fashion' outfit all prepared I look out of the window & realise that the weather is AWFUL, not that this stopped me. Ask my mum, I went out & really tried but I guess there is a point at which it is too cold, too wet & too windy to take good photos.
So this is what I wore on Tuesday ^^

Wheelchair Fashion: Rose Gold Lense Flare


I had a super clever opening line planned for this post & I have totally forgotten it....and my brain is refusing to come up with a witty name for this post, I have no idea what this one is supposed to mean....(way to give away all my blogging secrets lol).
I got this jumper in the ASOS sales because it reminded me of a jumper I got 5, maybe 6 years ago that I wore until it literally unravelled at the seams. This one isn't quite as gorgeous - that one was a maroon meets cranberry colour & had 3/4 length sleeves - but it is nice peach-y cream colour that's going to work in my wardrobe all year round.

Quarterly Beauty Favourites: 09/14 - 12/14


Hi everyone. I've been thinking about the way I do product reviews. I post so infrequently that it seems a waste to do a post that reviews just one product, or at least it does to me. That's when I remembered the favourites videos I used to do on youtube where I'd do mini reviews of a bunch of products I'd been liking recently & since I organise my blog photos quarterly I decided to do quarterly favourites. You could also think of them seasonal favourites, so these would wind up being my Autumn-Early Winter favourites... Or I could witter on more & really annoy everyone ^^


I thought I would start with the hair dye I use as I forgot to include it in the group photo (is it just me or does this background look really cute?).

Wheelchair Fashion: Parisian Monroe


I don't know why but it feels like this year is already weeks old....I have a new hobby, I've nearly finished a roll of film & I started my 'time of the month' on the first day of the year which I'm pretty sure is a bad omen considering how long it has been since my last 'time of the month'. Is that TMI? I feel like as long as I don't start describing things in detail it's all good but I know some people get squeamish at the slightest mention of all that stuff.


These photos were actually taken today (I'm pretty sure I'm typing this on adrenaline & will power alone) & OMG it was windy!!!! I felt like any moment I was going to be whipped off to OZ. It made for some great photos though ^^ Some of my favourite ever in fact, which is a nice way to start the new year.
