Last Few Festive Days

I'm now into the final week before finishing Uni for Christmas. Deadlines are in full swing and like most snow has arrived! Today's post is quite a short update as you can imagine this is a busy week; but continuing with the festive vibes I want to share with you some of the photos I took today. Walking home from Uni in the snow as the sun began to set felt super

Uni Christmas Room Tour

As promised todays post features the photos I took of our Christmas common room layout at Uni. Luckily for me, my flat is full of Christmas lovers so we decided to make the most of Christmas while still here at Uni, as when writing this we have around a month before we leave for the Xmas hols. 

Today

And the festive season begins...DIY

Lets just say I am very excited for Christmas... Recently went on a shopping trip to pick up a few Christmas things for my uni room and for our flat common room (post soon). I wanted to decorate my shelf area above my bed with some form of bunting and add fairy lights too. I couldn't exactly get what I was looking for so

Winter Tag

So I was planning on writing something like the Autumn or Winter tag but seems now I'm a little late for the start of Autumn... Although I'm pretty sure we went from the super warm days to freezing in the matter of days, not so much a smooth transition haha! Because of that I thought I'd skip ahead to doing some form of Winter questions post. Honestly I'm beyond excited for Christmas. I actually picked up a second Christmas jumper the other week, something a little cuter and less like an ugly xmas sweater.. I can and I will get away with wearing this most of the cold days!! We are currently

Autumn Photo Walk

Today's post is a collection of the photos I took while on a photoshoot/ walk for my uni project. I'm lucky to live next to some lovely parks, which have looked stunning all Autumn, I couldn't resit taking some photos! You will have also started to see some of these pop up on my Instagram @megansw0rld  as well as many more photos from the project. I hope you enjoy!

Freshers // My Uni Experience so far...

So I'm finally back with another post. Today I wanted to share my initial thoughts on University and my experience so far in this first month here. I know it's getting around that time when last minute stresses come about, about thinking and applying for University so I thought this post might help relax a few of you and start getting excited about the thought of University next year. I am also going to cover the interview process and my advice to anyone applying for a design type course.

Lets start logically with Freshers, 

September Favourites

Hi, so tonight after such a hectic freshers week ( or in my case two weeks!) I'm having a chilled evening listening to a Disney playlist on Spotify .. literally obsessed.. so I have a bit of time to write for you all. 

I cannot believe September is over, these last few months have honesty gone so quickly, but I have a pretty eventful month with moving into uni (check out my last post) so have a few favourites to talk about.

Starting with

University Room Tour!

Hey! So just a little update, I have moved into uni, met some lovely people but currently don't have a working toilet (yay).

I've been beyond excited to decorate my first year uni room, and wanted to share with you some of my favourite places in it! I moved in yesterday (Friday 15th) and surprising

Last Minute Sun

Last week I was in Mallorca Spain enjoying the sun, before coming back to what feels like winter! And of course I took some photos to share on my blog, you'll be likely to see some of these over on my Insta (@megansw0rld) too. The week away was full of super hot days and just as hot evenings. We visited the beach... although it had an interesting smell (you're lucky you cannot smell through photos!?) as well as the more traditional areas in the Old Town. It defiantly was a great way to end the summer before going off to Uni next week.

I hope back to school is going well and best of luck to those going off to uni soon! Thanks for reading, Good luck for the new term.

What I've Been Up To // August 2017

August has been a busy month, and for me it's still not over as I'm off on holiday this weekend. I wanted to document my summer on here so here's a run down of what I've been up to this August. 

Let's face it, it hasn't really been the weather to go on a lot of beach trips - hence my excitement to finally get some sun next week. But August has been filled with a lot of

The Body Shop; Tea Tree // Review

It's been a while since I've posted a review, but recently I've noticed that my past reviews have remained super popular. So today I'm going to review one of my holy grail product... well range. Be warned I'm going to be going into a lot of detail, I know for me skin care is very important to get right so I wanted to share as much as I can.

The Liebster Award Q&A

The other day I received a lovely twitter link to Chloe Marie's Liebster award post, which she kindly nominated me in. (Check out her blog at http://mycrazybeautyjourney.blogspot.co.uk ) So today I'm back with this little Q&A tag post. If you've read my blog for a while you'll know I've taken part in this tag a few times before; it's defiantly a good way to get to know bloggers! So here we go!

Sand, Sea and Sunsets

Todays post is a collection of photography that I took on my recent holiday to Devon. Frequently we were lucky with the evening weather which meant I could capture some stunning photos of the sun. Here are some of my favourites; many will feature on my Instagram (@megansw0rld) soon.

Visiting Cheltenham

I'm back with a travel post; I say travel but really Cheltenham isn't too far from home. Sticking with blogging my summer I've chosen to share this mini break with you, and maybe some of you would be interested in visiting. 

First stop; a visit to Pitville Park.

Summer Styling // OOTD

So I've just got back from my holiday in Devon and while I was away I took some OOTD photos to put into a blog post. Getting a head start in the Beach holiday season, today's outfit is something simple for the beach, tho to be honest I'll be wearing this out and about on the warmer of the summer days. Also watch out for 

Simple Sunny Summer Outfit

Hi, here again with another outfit post. I'm now finished with school and exams, so have been (sadly) outfit planning and getting clothes together for the summer. This outfit was for a summer walk, ironically

Summer Tag

It looks like in the UK it's trying to be summer... I mean it's sunny as I'm writing this but that could all change. I've been excited for the summer for a while, being in my last year of Sixth Form it has helped a lot knowing theres a huge summer round the corner, one I plan on making the most of before uni. So today I'm gunna share my answers to the Summer Tag to help feel more determined to work hard before the countdown to relaxing summer days. So here's 10 quick questions about my summer preferences.

Bank Holiday Outfits // Quick OOTD

Okay so this post isn't exactly on time, oops. But last weekend I took a quick photograph of my outfits as a short taster of summer style. I hope you have all had a lovely half term, even though I can imagine there has been a lot of revising (that's currently what I'm doing today, but I've taken a short break to write this.) I had a pretty busy half term

Stressed Out?!

Hey I'm back and right at the start of this exam season for most people. I've got one a level left (perks of doing arty subjects) but remembering back to my GCSE year, I can imagine the build up of stress exams can lead to. Now these tips

River Walks // OOTD

I'm back, finally, today with an ootd post. I hope you all had an amazing Easter and break from school, work whatever. Sadly this is my final day off before exams kick in yay :(( gotta love A levels... 

As I've mentioned before, I love doing outfit posts on my blog, unfortunately it's never easy to take them myself. But yesterday

Top 5 Things I'd Save in a Fire // Tag

I'm back! Within the busyness of A -Levels, I've finally found some time to sit down and blog. Just finished some Media revision on Disney's Frozen - oh what a great life ahah. I saw Gabby (Velvet Ghost on Youtube) create this tag, and thought why not use this idea and bring it into a blogging format. Personally I love tags, I kinda feel they help you get to know someone a bit more, plus as an ultra sentimental person this tag is perfect for me. I'll link Gabby's video HERE if any of you want to check it out after reading this.

Right so here goes my list of things I'd save in a fire. 

Weekend Break

With it being half term, my family and I took a little trip down to Devon (a recurring destination on my blog) for the weekend. As well as amazing food - and lots of it! oops.. - I took a few photos on the beach because lets face it I always do. Weirdly it was actually snowing on the way down, so as you can imagine a British beach in that type of weather was actually freezing; hence the millions of clothing layers. The truth be told I couldn't actually take my glove off for very long otherwise I couldn't actually feel my hands... I feel like I might have managed to hide the lack of heat in some of these snaps.  

It was actually super nice to relax for the weekend after weeks and weeks of sixth form stress; this place honestly feels like a second home. Now I hope you enjoy the photos because to be honest there isn't much else to say. I'll also link back a few past posts of this place:

ASOS Haul || Party/ Night Out

I've been doing a bit of online shopping recently (much to my bank accounts annoyance) and I thought I would share a few of the ASOS items I have brought. Just a quick disclaimer, I am using the online ASOS images for this post as I don't have the time or anyone to take the photos of me in the outfits :( but I will say that they all fit well, I was a little worried as I am quite short!...

 

Starting with dresses I have a few parties coming up - perks of everyone turning 18 this year - and the sale dresses were amazing, both dresses I picked up came to £10 or less each! The first being this red/ burgundy shade with cut out front section. (link here) Many of you that know me, know there are very few colours that I actually wear (I'm very much a monochrome girl..) but this shade is one that I do actually own a few other items in. For me this dress is very flattering and perfect for a party or formal occasion. The second dress is again in one of the few colours I actually own/ wear. (link here) Khaki is one of my favourite colours right now. This dress has a simple style, yet the eyelit detail adds a little extra. With both of these dresses I was worried about the length, as before I mentioned I'm not exactly the tallest, but I had no trouble. 

 

An essential I feel for everyones party wardrobe is a simple black skirt. Somehow I've managed to loose the one I had before - legit cannot find it anywhere - so I took to ASOS to find a new one. Once again a basic item and therefore pretty inexpensive, £10 ASOS own brand (link here). I personally love to style these with a cropped top - before Christmas I picked up a black lace top from H&M and also a velvet grey one from Top Shop. This skirt is a real saviour when you're unsure what to wear on a night out.

I also picked up - again in Khaki - a simple top, perfect to wear to family events or meals out. I'd previously brought a black version from River Island and loved the style, so I couldn't resist when seeing this on ASOS, again (a recurring theme on my blog) this was pretty inexpensive at £14 (link here). 

Thats all I have to share today, but I recommend you check out the ASOS sale as I'm pretty sure it is still at 70% off right now. Once again apologies that these are just online photos - I aim once the weather gets better to try and do a few more outfit posts. See you next time, goodbye.

January Favourites

January has been one of those extremely hectic months. But finally a relaxing weekend, wooo, as last week was deadline week for a few of my coursework subjects, the relief is unreal rn!!! And although there has been a lack of blogging and have still been trying out a few new products and rediscovering some old faves. I've actually started using a new hair product that I will probably review after I've used it for a while - loving it so far tho! I haven't actually sat and planned this post, I think this is my favourite way of blogging, so I guess we will just see how this goes.

Hello 2017!

I kinda just fancied a bit of spontaneous blogging tonight. With this being the last day of the Chrimbo holidays before going back to Sixth Form to be faced with mocks (I mean who does that?!) as well as this being my first post of 2017, it was only fitting that I talked through some of my resolutions and plans for the new year. I always decide to officially stick to resolutions when school starts again because lets face it who wants to start healthy eating again when you're still milking the last few days off!

So that brings me to my first plan for 2017.
