How’s your Sunday going? We’ve had a pretty nice weekend. Yesterday, we went to the coast and spent the day reading on the beach, eating ice cream, and hunting for cool rocks and shells as we walked along the beach. Today has been quite chilled. We’ve walked around town to get a few bits for dinner and watched a movie. Tonight is the weekly' family quiz, so I’m excited for that, but anyway let’s get on to this week’s post.

For this week’s blog post, I’ve decided to challenge myself, and you, to wear a colour you’re normally afraid to wear. My colour is orange. I’ve always been a bit unsure as to whether it suited me or not, and I find that it has to be exactly the right shade for me to like it. Below are some guidelines that I follow to help me get over my fear of orange and falling in love with these trousers.

How are you fairing on this dreary Sunday? This week has been a whirlwind. Ive felt guilty, inspired, anxious, and hopeful. I’ve spent a lot of my week educating myself more about the Black Lives Matter Movement, diversifying my Instagram feed, and speaking to friends and family about the issue. I’ve found a lot of joy in searching for new faces to add to my feed and I feel as though I’ve learned so much already. (I think a blog post will becoming about how you can help support the cause soon.) For now, we jump back to something not quite as important, but that might spark a little joy; fashion.

This week I wanted to focus on some comfy at-home pieces that might be beneficial to your wardrobe since we’re still spending quite a bit of time indoors. (And once we’re free they’ll still be perfect for cozy weekends in!) These are pieces you can still keep in your wardrobe even after corona.

Anyway, how have you all been coping this week? Have you ventured out a bit more, as lockdown rules ease? I’ve been on quite a few picnics outside and reading in the sunshine. Other than that, not much has changed here.

This week I’ve mixed it up and made a video on how I’ve been styling bright colours right now. I’ve also created a few tips below on how you can start styling more bright shades in your own wardrobe. I know it can be intimidating at times to break away from your usual blacks and beiges, but these tips just might make you feel a bit more adventurous.

Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. Sorry for the lack of post last week. I’m just getting all mixed up with the days in lockdown, I must admit. Who else is finding it hard to keep track during lockdown? Have you been up to anything exciting this week? I’ve finished my couch to 5k app, baked some orange scones, made a delish sea bass dinner, and took some new photos for the blog and Instagram.

I’m not sure if you know, but I’ve been spending lockdown with my brother and his lovely girlfriend up in Newcastle. Other than the odd visit here once or twice, I had never really experienced Newcastle until my brother moved up here. He’s shown me all of his favorite spots, but I never really got to spend longer than a few days up here and I’ve never explored it on my own. One would argue that you always experience a city differently when you explore alone. It’s more intimate. Obviously I’ve had Fergus and Felicia with me a lot, but I’ve also gotten to know the city on my own as well. Even though I can’t visit a lot of places I want to, I am learning to love it here.
