The irony of starting every single blog post this year with a 'hello stranger' is certainly not lost on me.

This year has truly been testing, in more ways than one, things of which I have never shared on my blog or social, but I'm slowly starting to bounce back with a fresh outlook on life - including my blog. I must sound like flipping mysterious meg over here, and tbh I might touch on it here and there, but mental health is a funny old thing and I'm not sure how I feel about splashing it over the internet. 




Drawing a line under all of that and returning to my love of nattering on about all things materialistic, fashion and beauty related, here's a run down of shit I keep meaning to type:

1. The most cliche way to start afresh?

Letting your hair dresser finally whip off 6 inches and caving to the long bob she's so desperately wanted to cut for so long. Pretty major shock to the system, one that I'm admittedly still trying to get used too. Cry face emoji.

2. So far this year I have bought 42 pairs of jeans.

And returned approximately 38. Yep. These hips definitely do not lie, and so far I am yet find a pair that fit perfectly that aren't low rise.

3. These Topshop silver flats are basically my go-to wardrobe staple.

Surprisingly comfy, a steal at £18 and wearable with just about every outfit in my wardrobe - winner!

And without sounding like a mega twat, I'm feeling pretty inspired to get my blog back on. I'm kind of over trying to replicate the insta perfect images and editorial poses, this blog really isn't that profesh. Just snippets of my undying love for Topshop (so predictable) and my never ending dedication to buying lipstick. Back in the game!

  1. It's good to see you back Sarah you look great! I'm sad to say I know where you're coming from, I have a few mental health demons of my own, so I can completely sympathize with you! As for jeans have you tried the Frankie style from Dorothy Perkins? I've just bought 3 pairs in different washes, they are without a doubt the comfiest jean/jeggings I've ever worn, plus they're not low rise :)
