Taking note from established bloggers/vloggers, I've realised that in order to run a successful blog then you need to have some routine and regularity on your site.
Most successful blogs either post daily or have a set day once a week when they will upload their latest post. I certainly can't be posting daily, with schoolwork obviously being top on my list of priorities again once summer is over, so I don't want to make a promise of posting daily now and then gradually start to slack more and more until I end up appearing as a lazy blog-neglecter. However, I do aim to have one new post up a week, so have decided that from now on when I do post it will only be on a Sunday. I just think that this will tidy up my blog a bit and give it a bit more structure.
But this new post embargo is only for my main posts on my main page. My main posts are usually either fashion reviews and recommendations, fashion news, or general current musings. However, I'd like to introduce a new page to my site titled 'Purchases.' Whenever I make a new purchase I will make a quick and brief post on this page of the item and details. I like this idea because I think it gives readers more of a sense of my own personal style and it also means that I won't feel the need to make generic purchase posts on my main page, as I know that it can get tedious reading blog after blog about "hauls" and "outfit of the day." The purchase posts won't be restricted to Sundays like the main page though; I'll just post as I buy.
Hopefully the changes improve my blog.
Have a great Monday!

It's in your jeans!
It has been said time and time again that everyone must have at least one pair of well-loved and well-worn jeans in their wardrobe, and how true that is.
An old, familiar pair of well-fitting jeans is like a safety blanket; completely flummoxed on what to wear to lunch, or incredibly late to an appointment? You can just turn to your trusted pair of jeans, that you're already certain fit perfectly and look good on you, so you don't have to spend an extra fifteen to twenty minutes agonising in front of the mirror over "how my legs look in these", or "what it does to my muffin top." I'm now a strong advocate of every person owning a good pair of jeans, however I do recognise that finding the right personal pair is very difficult. For two years I tried to avoid wearing jeans when I could, believing that they drew attention to my least favourite part of my body (my legs.) Of course I'd tested out multiple pairs over the years, but had found that the colour of Topshop jeans faded too quickly, and that Zara jeans just didn't fit right on me. But after recommendation from one of my pals, I indulged in a pair of Jack Wills Black Fernham Skinny Jeans. Of course you'd think that if I was so terrified of squeezing my legs into jeans then why would I jump straight into the deep end with the Skinnies? but my friend had assured me that Jack Wills Jeans were the only jeans she had found that she believed actually made legs look slimmer. I was skeptical at first, still believing that the key to having skinny looking legs is to actually have skinny legs in the first place, but when I tried the jeans on in the changing room (Side note: ALWAYS try clothes on before purchasing) I did notice that I thought they did make my legs look slightly more slender- I believe that maybe the super tightness of the fabric aids in squeezing everything together. Safe to say, I was thrilled! I'd been searching for jeans that gave this illusion for quite some time. Both my friend and I have fallen head over heels for Jack Wills Jeans and have both vowed that for the foreseeable future all of our jeans shall be purchased from there.
They are slightly pricey for teenagers/students at £49.50, but I think that they'd be a worthy investment, as the quality seems good, the colour hasn't faded from washing yet, and the fit is fantastic. Some advice a member of the Jack Wills staff did give to me was that when purchasing their skinny jeans you might want to go for a size smaller than your usual, as the fabric has some stretch to it and may stretch a bit with wear. Other than that, I see no other problems; I bought them two weeks ago and have already worn them several times and have been surprisingly impressed.
Let me know if you purchase your own pair!
