I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t manage to bosh all of Girl Boss on Netflix in less than 2 days. It’s an addictive series. The tale of Sophia Amuruso, the creator of Nasty Gal is one of those rags to riches stories where there’s some amazing high and some ridiculous lows. Maybe it’s kinda cos I have a bit of a girl crush on Britt Robertson – hello epic style and bangs that blow my mind? It’s a show that you feel pretty invested in if you make it past the first couple of episodes. Oh & yeah I did cry during the season finale. I blame the hormones. Whatever reason you watched it, there are some pretty valuable lessons to be learnt from it.

For a long time I’ve found myself a bit of a “half empty” kinda person. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m always living on the edge of caution. Worrying about the “ifs” and the “buts” and the “oh my goodness, something terrible will happen if we do this.” To be honest, sometimes it’s pretty draining to be in my own head. That’s why this Summer I’m trying to make a habit of getting myself out of that little rut I have found myself in. I recently went to Blog At The Beach with icelolly.com and Jen Lowthrop presented a talk on “doing fun things when we work full time and releasing our inner fun.” It really opened my eyes to the kinds of possibilities that would turn me more in to the “half full” kinda gal I wanna be!

I really do love being outdoors and getting out and about to stretch the ol’ legs. We started taking our dog on walks that are a little bit further afield than on our doorstep. It means we get to see scenery that we don’t normally see on our usual routes, all the while we get some fresh air and our little doggo gets to have a whale of a time in the process. It is so nice to explore our beloved Yorkshire in depth this way. So, grab your walking boots and jackets because I’ve got three great dog walks that are in and around Yorkshire for you to try…

I don’t know if I’m freaking out over nothing. It really could be just that, nothing. But recently I’ve felt like I’m having an identity crisis with my style. It’s odd I know, that at the age of 27, I feel like I haven’t got my shit together (well, my wardrobe life together.) Queue meme’s of me trying to look for adultier adults even though I am an adult. I just feel like I don’t know where I fit in with my particular aesthetic. My overall look changes each day to the next and I now I want to really hone in on my style.
