We need to talk... You may have been wondering where I have been lately. It's actually been over a whole month since I've posted and although it greatly upset me in the beginning, I'm glad I took a small break from blogging.

Let's be honest, I've been a bit absent on my blog lately. I don't like to post less than twice a week really - but I actually haven't posted on here now since last month! At first this made me feel really guilty and lazy however I know that sometimes it's good to take a break from social media and my blog.

Last month I turned 23... The 15th of February to be precise. I was thinking about what sort of post I'd like to do to mark my 23 years in this world and suddenly started thinking about all the things I have done in my life so far. I've laughed, I've cried but most importantly I've learned. So what better way to celebrate my 23rd birthday on my blog than sharing my top 23 lessons I've learnt by the age of 23.

I'm such a cliche blogger right now... But quite honestly I really couldn't resist doing one of these posts. However, I don't want to do it for me. I want to do it for all of those people out there who think that new year's resolutions should be about re-inventing yourself. Well, I don't think you should. Because, let's be honest, there's nothing wrong with who you are as a person right now.

Last week I took a social media break. At first it was mainly because I was going to go away for a stay-cation in the beautiful county of Devon and there was no WiFi where we were staying or any signal for mobile data. However, as the week went on I realised that I actually did need the break from all things social.

Did anyone see the serious shade Vogue threw at bloggers over Milan fashion week? Even if you didn't, I did and I'd just like to congratulate Vogue on living up to their holier than thou name and proceeding to insinuate that they are both timeless and timely when it comes to the fashion industry.

It's obvious I'm a curvy girl. And I don't mind that. Actually, I am just starting to get comfortable with it. That's why I wanted to talk about something that some others may find controversial. There are many misconceptions that people have of the typical "curvy" girl but to be honest there is one that really bothers me.
Read MoreI love a good picnic. That's why when I found out that there was a #BloggerPitP (bloggers picnic in the park) I just had to go. I also thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to include it in a Photography Friday. You'll also be able to see a vlog of the full day too over on my YouTube channel.

I'm back again with another Conquering Curvy post. This time though, instead of showing you some curvy friendly outfits, I am going to talk to you all about fashion magazines. Like most young women, I read a hell of a lot of fashion magazines. I've had subscriptions to Elle, Vogue, Company and I am partial to a free Stylist every now and again. I love them all from their thought-provoking features to their beauty tips and look books. However, one feature that seems to come up a little bit too much for my liking is the "how to dress for your body type". Well, I don't know about you but I am sick of it and I thought that the best way to vent out these frustrations would be to talk to you all about them.

Since the Victoria Secret fashion show took place this month I thought I would modify an old piece of mine to bring it up to date. I wrote this last year when the Victoria Secret fashion show took place in London as a sort of mix of news and opinion all rolled into one feature. Just a little foot note I have referenced all of my quotes within the text itself but please keep in mind that this was written a year ago so some references may be outdated.

Comic con has just happened this past weekend and usually I would be having post con blues. However, this year I haven't gone as I have planned an awesome holiday to Disney world with my partner and family. So to celebrate comic con I thought I would share with you an article I wrote while I was at university about cosplaying and why it is good for you, in particular women.

My blog isn't normally a place where I rant. Well, this isn't really a rant more of an observation. My best friend and I were talking about my weird shopping habits. I don't try things on, I don't ask shop assistants for help, I don't ask my friends' advice and I don't do returns, ever. I don't know why exactly...just all of these things that come hand and hand in shopping freak me out.
