I've been a terrible blogger these past few months. Really, I have. Ever since starting university last September, my posts have becoming less frequent and my inspiration has been slowly diminishing. Now that Summer has arrived, I've been thinking a lot about what caused the creative block, and how I plan to overcome it.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

I've been a terrible blogger these past few months. Really, I have. Ever since starting university last September, my posts have becoming less frequent and my inspiration has been slowly diminishing. Now that Summer has arrived, I've been thinking a lot about what caused the creative block, and how I plan to overcome it.
Ever since bomber jackets made a return to the fashion world in Gucci's pre-fall 2016 collection last December, I've wanted to get my hands on a less extravagant & more wearable one to pair with everything this season. I still remember my first ever bomber jacket, back when I was just entering my teen years. It was one of those baseball varsity ones, and it made me feel like I was the epitome of cool. As I started exploring the world of crazy prints and bright colours, I discovered a printed butterfly one in Penneys for a mere €5 a few years later. I got a few wears out of it before it got lost in the depths of my wardrobe, but it's something I wear at least once a week to university now.

Let's face it- Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without books. I was always the type of child to ask for a long list of books for Christmas, and that didn't go away when I hit my teens. On the top of my list this year was a book I'd seen on Instagram time and time again. It was a book that I presumed to be a mere style bible, but I was oh so wrong. This book has become my 2016 bible, and each page contains a new mantra to follow as I stumble through my 18th year.

On Tuesday 8th March I woke up to my find my social media news feeds flooded with quotes and pictures of strong and inspirational women. Of course, I jumped on that bandwagon and posted a 'girlboss' image that had been doing the rounds on Instagram all day. Many online publications had written pieces on 'women we ought to know' (and I found a fair few people to follow on Twitter because of them).

Budapest, Hungary

I say this all the time, but I feel like every time I travel, I grow as a person. Back in January I headed to Budapest with a group of fellow photography lovers from college, and I came back feeling completely refreshed. Not only did I make a whole bunch of like-minded friends, but I fell in love with the city, too.
