LBD & Blogging.

Where to start. I've been a really lousy blogger ever since I started this blog back in December. Seriously though, I need to get my act together and start updating it more.
Not just because I enjoy putting photos up, editing things, but because I really miss writing. I used to write all the time, from music to books (yes I once wrote a book but I doubt you'll ever read it unless I pluck up the courage to post it.. we'll see ! )

For me, writing is the perfect cleanser. It cleanses me from all the stuff I have going on, it's a way of getting everything off my mind without even having to open my mouth. So here I am, sat in my bedroom writing everything that comes into my mind - well almost everything. 

I suddenly feel incredibly motivated to express myself, it's almost like i'm having a mid-teen crisis where I have to pour out my feelings, my thoughts, my ideas before it's too late. Too late for what you'll ask ? I still have no idea but once I find out - i'll let you know.
Now that i've started this post on an extremely "philosophical" emotional note, I'm going to get on with the exciting things that I have in store for this blog !
I thought i'd kick off my new blogging chapter with my favorite Summer Dress. 

Who doesn't love a good Little Black Dress ? 

My dress is from Topshop. I don't know if you'll find it in many of their stores as I purchased mine from the ridiculously huge store on Oxford Street. I went there with Holly & Summer - if you haven't seen their blog, go check it out !
I love this dress way too much, I think it's fair to say I over wear it. I love how simple it is, yet so special with the lace detailing. It's very light to wear and makes the perfect beach cover-up.

I hope you enjoyed my rambling & let me know - what's your summer essential ?

Hello Winter.

So I actually ventured outside today for the first time since the holidays (oh dear..)
And I thought it'd only be right to take some pictures. My lovely boyfriend kindly offered to do so and I thought I would share them on here with you :)

My dress is from Boohoo and is such a lovely basic skater dress ! The coat is from Zara and is something I couldn't resist as it is sooo cosy and keeps my nice and warm in winter.

My shoes are leather Chelsea Boots from Topshop and I love them. I really like wearing boots in Winter because even though it's cold you can still pair them up with a lovely dress or even a skirt and look great.

I hope you guys liked the pictures and let me know what your Winter essentials are. :)
Love, Kate xx

Christmas & New camera.

So Christmas is already over ! All I can say is roll on next year. I had such an amazing time with my family & it is always nice for us to all be together celebrating one of the best holidays of the year.
I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful family and I love buying individual gifts for everyone !
Of course, I love receiving gifts too, but there's nothing like seeing someone's face light up as they unwrap the present you picked out for them.
This year, I think it's fair to say I was spoilt. Because my birthday is a week before Christmas and this year I was 18 years old (adulthood hello !) , my parents wanted to make it special.
One of the presents I received is the Canon EOS 700D camera. I've only had it a day and I already love it ! I've been taking pictures non stop to test out the quality and experiment a bit.
I'm really hoping the possession of this new camera will mean more and better quality blog posts here. (Hurray !)

So today I think it'd only be fair to share some pictures from Christmas I took with the new camera.

Enjoy :)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and bring on the New Year !
Love, Kate. xx
