So,  if you've been following me on socials you, will know that my boyfriend and I have just moved into our new apartment! It is literally one of the most exciting things I have ever done and such a huge goal that we have hit so I knew I wanted to blog about it! Moving in has been wild. We have been preparing for this for months from going to Ikea, countless Argos, Home Bargains and B&M trips... (not complaining.) I have learned so much in such a short space of time and also feel like I have grown up very quickly but I definitely needed that to be able to allow myself to grow.  The Process and Moving in Day Jack & I were in two minds about buying a flat or renting and straight away I wanted to rent. It was a no brainer for me. I think it's because I don't really know where I want to be within the next 3-5 years and travelling and experiencing life is such a priority for me that I didn't want a mortgage to hold us back at all & I am still very glad we chose t...

My phone is at the absolute heart of everything I do. As much as some people don't like this thought, for most of us it is just plain fact, where would we be without our phones? So, with this thought in mind, it inspired me to give you an insight onto my phone and get to know me a little bit better and what I use on my phone to get me through the day and help with productivity. Depop :   My first ever post on my blog was centred around Depop and honestly, it is still an app that I use on a daily. I love being able to recycle clothes and also gain inspo for my next purchase. I really enjoy using this app and also having a 'nose' at what people are selling.  Co-Star : Now, if you're somebody who loves star signs and don't have this app... you need to get it! Every day at 11am I get my own little star sign message from them. I actually really look forward to this in the mornings and it also shows you such a deeper meaning behind star signs that I didn't really know...

Instagram: HollyWootton Hey guys, thought I would update with some new shoes that I bought last month, May! if you follow me on Instagram, you will notice I have started posting a lot of sneaker content which my boyfriend & I have been getting into again. Not much of a chatty post but a little 'lookbook' of my new babies. Nike Air Monarch VI - These ended up costing me only £38 which I think is an absolute steal, I love these so much as I've never really seen anyone with them & they are definitely the classic 'dad shoe'. Nike Air Force 1 - My first ever pair of Nike shoes, believe it or not. Until about 2 months ago, all I bought was Adidas for some reason. I've always liked Nike just never gone out and bought it. AF1 is classic and I refuse to wear these as I don't ever want them to crease. I manage to get junior size in these (Size 5) so they only end up costing me around £50. Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2 - So, after ...

If you had read my last blog post you would have seen in my photo that I was currently reading Fearne Cotton 'Calm'. Well, around 15 minutes ago I read the final pages and felt a complete inner peace. Essentially, the book is fabulous and it deserves to be shouted about! I had never read a book by Fearne Cotton but her style of writing and way with words is truly amazing. She explores deep into topics that affect and improve our calm and stillness and what we can do to improve or maintain this, depending on your own circumstances. A word that really stood out to me throughout this helpful guide was the word ' Chaos '. Fearne explores the way in which we are all living in chaos and completely forgetting about our calm moments and taking time out for ourselves... Chaos is different for everybody as we all have our own individuality and quirks but, we do tend to be all in agreement with certain concepts deemed as chaotic! For example, my chaos could be spending a j...

Due to the recent circumstances of COVID-19 we are all currently being asked to stay indoors and only leave the house when essential or for one hour of exercise... But, self isolating isn't all bad... We should take these moments of being indoors to really work a lot more on ourselves where we can. These next tips are things I have been doing in the past couple of weeks of staying indoors (Whilst not at work)... I hope this helps! Listening to the radio and upbeat podcasts -   Radio 1 for example, they are really trying to make a conscious effort to keep things light hearted with funny conversations & great music whilst also acknowledging peoples anxieties and concerns. Keep a gratitude journal -  I already keep a little notebook listing what I feel grateful for, almost, each day but if you don't you should start! it keeps you busy for a good 10 minutes and really gets your mind actively engaging. Also take notes of goals you want to get done by the end of the y...

I have no idea how to start this but thank you for even getting here, just a quick little intro into my first ever blog post. I'm going to be creating content that is solely fashion based to track my own growth and progress but also hopefully creating good content for the people who will actually (hopefully!) read this too. This first post should give you an idea of the styles of clothing and brands that I'm really into.  I believe fully in recycling fashion ''one persons trash is another treasure'' — as some might put it...  I absolutely hate 'fast fashion' and also have no idea how people have the money to keep up with it either! BUT the best app for finding second hand clothing that almost everyone knows about is... 'DEPOP'! I've researched and put together my top 5 best Depop shops to save you from endlessly scrolling through unwanted clothing for hours. 1)  NatWinter_ Whether it's graphic tee's you're af...
