My little hiatus from the blogging world has finally come to an end and I'm so pleased I made that decision as it really did help clear up some head space. I also managed to have a huge clear out and tidy up of my space which has boosted my mood too and I talked to my close friends about things that have been going on and the support has been overwhelming. I'm so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life so thank you so much, it really does mean the world. As well as online too! I also want to give a special mention to those of you who commented on my last post with so many kind, supportive words which really resonated with me so a big thank you Sneha, Eloise, Elizabeth Rebecca & #sweetreats (sorry I don't know your first name! Let me know if you see this haha!), all lovely ladies who's blogs you should definitely check out and give them some love. My small time away gave me a lot of perspective and I'm starting to feel more positive again and back to my usual weird ass self. This time off I've surprisingly found a huge amount of inspiration for blog post ideas and photography ideas so hopefully I can utilise that throughout the year.

To kick off this year I wanted to share with you an outfit I wore for my Christmas party. I know, I know. It was a while ago now but I believe this would also make a great outfit for many other occasions and I love the overall look that much I couldn't resist sharing it here. It was a big step out of my comfort zone and introduced a new love to amazing brands that I hadn't really bought much from previously and gorgeous new pieces that I know I will be wearing constantly during 2018. So let's begin:
The Outfit






The finishing touches to the outfit included a slick of red nail gelish nail polish from my local beauty salon, my metallic pewter, pointed toe heels from Dune and my silver orb earrings from Vivienne Westwood.
