Beauty was always a side-line to my love of fashion until I undertook the role of Fashion & Beauty Editor of SCAN. It opened my eyes to talking about something just as, if not even more, artistic than fashion.  Ever since I was little, I always loved doing my eyeshadow and that still continues to… Continue reading beauty :: graphic

I dreaded waking up today to the 10am release of second year results. It didn't help that I woke up 45 minutes early - I had to fill that time with something other than crippling anxiety. When 10am came, my first demonic thought came: "Why are you even bothering at university Anna"; the second, "You're… Continue reading life :: continue

It's quite hard sometimes to be a "milennial" (despite being born in the nineties) and a Christian. It's challenging. Although as a society, we're a lot more accepting, we're also a lot more defensive yet on the attack at the same time. So, adding Christianity to this battle already can make muddling through the early years… Continue reading love :: rainbow

2016 left me feeling a little drab and a little worn out. In all honesty, my hair has never been in better condition, but I am in desperate need of a switch up and a trim.  So I have come to Prestige Salon in the centre of Lancaster.  The inspiration behind my new hair are the… Continue reading beauty :: copper

life :: 2016, a year in review

While I'm "working on posts" (i.e my brain won't configure to write something coherent), I thought I'd put together a little post.  As I'm sure many of you are aware, Pinterest is perhaps the best source of inspiration. Particularly motivational quotes. I get that obsessed reading words of truth that I both pin them and… Continue reading life :: mass

fashion :: dazzled in effort

After reading "Can we talk about...Gucci", I feel as if I have connected with Claudia Winkleman on a level I never would have expected. I want to be that "44 year old..." who writes like that about a designer brand.  Maybe it's merely the wannabe journalist, the over-analytical, ex-English Language student in me, but ahhhhh. I… Continue reading fashion :: dazzled in effort

summer :: holiday prep

Within what you can deem as "holiday planning" is our annual meal out. It has almost, if not definitely, become a pre-holiday ritual. As we always venture off around the date of my Gran's birthday, it's both a birthday celebration and a farewell (for 2 weeks). This year we chose the King Bill, a local… Continue reading summer :: holiday prep
