Well, this is officially my first post so I feel it is fitting to introduce myself, right? I'm going to kick of my blog with a few facts about me, so here goes...
1. I'm from a lovely little village (practically a hamlet really) in the North of England - don't get me wrong I adore living in the countryside but sometimes the life of a country-bumpkin can get a tad boring - lucky for me Manchester is only a short train ride away so I can still get my shopping fix pretty easily :)
2. Living where I live, I was naturally brought up with horses, my first birthday present was a pony and I've been obsessed ever since. At the minute I have two ponies and I have had them for so long now that they have become part of the family - like pets. I've never been into competitive jumping or cross-country so I just ride and practise those disciplines for fun. I am also learning to carriage drive because I have sadly outgrown one of my ponies but I still want to be able to spend time productively with him :)
This is on my campus - how pretty?! |
4. I have always had a strong desire to travel - having spent nearly all of the holidays in my childhood in the same destination (which I absolutely loved, don't get me wrong!) as I've gotten older I've realised how many more places there are in the world out there that I have yet to experience; Venice, Madrid, Australia, New York, Milan, Nantucket, Kentucky, The Hamptons...the list is endless! So be prepared for many musings and endless wanderlust on here :)
American Road Trip - yes please! |
6. I have an unhealthy love for buying clothes, accessories and make up (be them high-end or high-street) - fab for blogging I'm sure but not so great for my bank balance! So many hauls and presumably a few reviews are bound to follow, I'm sure :)
7. I have quite a varied sense of style; one day I feel like being ultra preppy; the next I'm wearing a band tee, skinny jeans, vans and a hoody; and the next I want to dress like a Newquay surfer - I tried to mould myself into just have one clear sense of style but I have since realised that my sense of style is influenced by all these different styles and that a mix of all these different 'looks' is my style - if that makes sense?! :)
8. My music tastes are pretty random too, though mostly I tend to listen to indie, pop/rock, pop and my guilty pleasure - a little country (in respect of my inner Southern Belle - obviously!)
So, I hope that after reading this you feel as though you know me a little better and I'm sure I will be posting again very soon :)
