Professional Controversy
From my first year of college to my second year of university, I have experimented with my hair, going pretty much every colour of the rainbow. I loved being able to express myself in this way, but I was always acutely aware of the fact that there was a time limit on how long I […]
Trends I Hate – Lime Green
Impracticality – 1/5 Unsightliness – 4/5 Suitablility – 2/5 Look, I love a bright neon shade as much as the next girl, but I much prefer it when that neon shade is not assaulting my eyes with how bright it is. Neon green is apparently this season’s go-to shade, and I am not here for […]
Trends I Hate – Super Chunky Trainers
Impracticality – 3/5 Unsightliness – 4/5 Suitablility – 1/5 Look, I’m girl who likes heels. A boost to their height is always welcome, and I’m not much of a stiletto girl either – show me a chunky platform heel and I will show you a shoe I am in love with. However, with fashion, as […]

Feminist fashion is hot right now, and almost every brand is capitalising on it. On the surface, this looks positive; in a social environment where the #MeToo […]
Going Off The Grid
Going off the grid has become almost something of a trend over the recent year or so. Disconnecting from our social media platforms seems desirable in a social climate that can be daunting and overwhelming at the best of times. The likes of Twitter and Facebook constantly overstimulates us to the point of having truly […]
Self Care Supplies: Dancing
Repeatedly, we’ve been told that exercising reduces our stress levels – something that is essential during exam season – but faced with seemingly unending hours of revision, it’s difficult to motivate yourself to go for a run or do the shortest of work-outs. This is partly because you’re exhausted, but also because it looks like […]
