Forget Me Knots Scarves

“We Are Creative, We Are Individual, We Are Strong"- Forget Me Knots 

Recently I've teamed up with the lovely brand, Forget Me Knots Scarves! Forget Me Knots is a brand that design and sell beautiful real silk scarves. 

The scarves are designed by Natalie Palmer and the brand has two collections out a year. The scarves are made by using photography and image manipulation to put them together and are then digitally printed onto crepe back silk.

Their current collection is called 'English Tropics' and is inspired by tropical prints such as palm trees and pineapples and are mixed with the muted colour palette of the English countryside. 

I absolutely adore the look of these scarves. They're so fresh looking and unusual in a good sense. I can imagine someone walking up to me when I'm wearing one and trying to work out what the patterns and colours are because they're so interesting looking. I'm normally one to play it quite safe when wearing scarves but these, well I'd love to wear any of them. They would immediately jazz up an outfit and make any boring or plain outfit interesting looking. 

The colours are great for pairing with most other colours as they have both slightly brighter colours with the classic monochrome, blues and lighter hues. 

I will be doing a Forget Me Knot styling post in the future showing you how to wear and style up these beautiful scarves so look out for that in the future!

A Day at Windsor

On Saturday it was my mum's birthday so my family and I decided to go out for the day and we decided on Windsor and also Virginia Waters. It was a lovely day out as I haven't been to Windsor since I was a lot younger so it was nice to go back and see it again. It is a lovely place full of history and in that sense it reminds me of Oxford. 

The weather was changing all the time before I left and I was wearing a t-shirt but brought this jumper with me too as it got colder due to the wind. This is a jumper I have bought recently from Topshop. It is a very light blue cropped jumper that is slightly longer at the back than the front. It is so warm but at the same time it is fairly thin knit and light weight and was perfect for just 'chucking' on to keep me warm on Saturday. It is from Topshop's new summer into autumn range and I love it. 
I also wore my trusty black Topshop jeans and my black sandals from New Look.

I'm going on holiday tonight but don't worry, posts will still be going up and you have holiday outfits to enjoy when I'm back!

See you in 10 days!

Camp Essentials

So I mentioned in my last post that I'm off to a summer camp today and I can't wait! I do this Christian summer camp every year and have done for the past 8/9 years and I loved it when I was a camper and I still love it now that I'm a leader there.

So after 8/9 years of doing this camp every summer you'd think I'd know a few things about what should be taken. This doesn't just apply to a summer camp, this could apply to camping if that's something you're doing this summer. If not, I will be doing a holiday essentials post before I go on holiday at the end of August.

This isn't everything obviously but just things related to fashion and beauty items.

1. Sunscreen: Every year at camp we seem to have most days full of dry and sunny weather and at camp/when camping, you're outside most of the time and you will definitely need some form of SPF handy. You don't want to be that person that every single year gets burnt, do you? I know it seems like a lot of effort but do yourself a favour and stay burn free. You'll enjoy your week more!
2. Sensible footwear: Yes, it was in fact me that wrote that subtitle and no, my mother has not taken over my blog. Now, I'm a bit slave to fashion when it comes to footwear and I always think to myself "If they go with your outfit, wear them!" when it comes to shoes but at camp that changes a bit, not much I have to say but a bit and when it comes to walks or doing sport I do always try to put my Converse on. They're probably not even the best footwear to wear but for me they're so comfortable, good for light-hearted sport and as far as I will probably go to wearing a pair of trainers. I'm just not that kind of person.
3. Wipes: Wipes become your best friend at camp/when camping and can be used for most things. Seriously, just buy some wipes and even if you don't end up using them knowing they're there gives a small amount of peace of mind.
4. A notebook: At my camp there are daily talks and meetings that take place so I would normally write notes and if you're going to write notes why not use a cute notebook? Paperchase do a great selection of cute notebooks all year round so check them out.
5. Wellies: These are always a debatable item which each year is decided upon at last minute. Do I, Don't I...? Check the weather and if it's going to rain then mud may become involved and not taking wellies is like going to Glastonbury with flip flops; not a done thing.
6. Moisturiser: At camp I always become extremely tired due to the early starts, sport, walks and late nights so using a good moisturiser is helpful for feeling and looking like you're still alive by the end of the week.
7. Hairbands: By the end of the week you won't care what you look like anyway so just shove your hair up and get it out your face!

There are more items that I could have mentioned but they're definitely the most prominent camp items you need apart from you also need cute outfits!

Shorts: River Island

Notebook: Paper Chase

Glasses: Brand is: FCUK

Wipes: Superdrug

Shoes: Converse
