Wheelchair Fashion: Perfectly Pink Polka-Dots

The weather has been glorious this week, isn't it always the way that you get wonderful weather only when you can't really enjoy it? It was always glorious whilst I was doing my exams & this week whilst I was too tired after powerchair football to do more than lie in my bed.
It was totally worth it, my team are amazing & you should have seen their faces when we won the cup. 500% worth however exhausted it made me (which was by far the most exhausted I've ever been).

As I was starting to come round I found Lindy Bop online which is a cool UK vintage inspired brand. I love a good midi skirt & whilst the skirts are super cute on the site, it is the dresses that I fell in love with. As a treat for being good & resting sensibly (which I did, however bored I got) I bought myself a couple, including this one.

As you may have guessed from reading my blog, I'm not usually a pink person.

Quarterly Favourites: 03/15 - 06/15

I realised I haven't done a beauty post in an AGE! I only really wear makeup for ootd posts & when I go to powerchair football these days so I don't buy a lot of new makeup (I'm trying to use up my old stores) & I have such short hair that I don't really do any styling :)

I think the only new makeup I've bought in an age is the Illamasqua Gel Sculpt which is supposed to be this wonder product for contouring.....

Open Letter to my Family:

No comments

Dear Family Members,
Stop reading my blog. All of you. Right now. Permenantly. Forever.
I'm sorry to have to do this because some of you are lovely people who I am happy to share my life with but as a collective you are ruining this for me.
This is my space, my freedom & the place where I don't have to be careful about what I say & how I say it......except now I do & I am honestly thinking of giving up all of this so hear me when I say this....

If you are related to me in anyway close this webpage & never come back. And that includes my second blog, my twitter, my instagram & anywhere else I exist on the internet.

Thank you that is all, now we return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Wheelchair Fashion: Nerdy Tulle

I love tulle skirts. Seriously, it's an obsession.
My problem is that after a while you seem to run out of ways to wear it that don't all look the same you know? There are only so many things that look good with such a dressy item, or are there?

I have had this t-shirt for an age, it's actually in one of my first ever fashion posts over on some fashion sharing website that seems to have vanished into the depths of the internet.
Anyway, I challenged myself to wear this picture t-shirt with my tulle. I was convinced it wouldn't work, but the outfit is not too bad, I may have to get the inner geek/emo out more often :)

Wheelchair Fashion: Blue Sunday

I guess this is what happens when I run out of lavender hair dye :) I tried to substitute it with pastel blue & a touch of purple....I actually love the cool multi-tonal blue colour I ended up with & I can't help but be obsessed with all things blue now :) I think it's the team spirit thing, my powerchair football team's colour is blue after all :)

Wheelchair Fashion: Birthday Suit

My foster brother thinks that anyone over the age of 21 is 'officially old'. Well as of yesterday I am officially old & honestly I don't feel any different :)
I had a really lovely day yesterday, probably the best birthday I've had since I was a kid :)

I took these pictures amongst the rhododendrons at Temple Newsam park, the riot of colours is always super pretty (although personally I'm biased towards the rhododendrons at Castle Howard that are in amongst a wooded area & much less over powering).

It was nice to go out in the sun, normally all that light is so exhausting I keep the curtains closed & even wear sunglasses inside but a girl has to splurge spoons occasionally & since I caused the weather I felt like I should enjoy it lol (in my family we always say that the weather on you birthday reflects your behaviour the year before so sunny = good behaviour & rain = bad behaviour).
