When Vicky Grout first shared about being a part of Push Magazine, I whipped up a quick blogpost to bring attention to its release too. The first 1000 people to sign up would receive a free magazine in the post, and as far as i'm aware the publication is still available on their website. Mine arrived a few weeks ago and I've finally got around to sharing it! Lately I've become a bit of a collector of small publications and Push is the perfect addition. Featuring articles on Cadenza, Patta and Radar Radio, flicking through the magazine's 68 pages there is humour, life stories and beautiful photography. I strongly recommend paying the voluntary contribution for postage to get your hands on this magazine. So much care and consideration has gone into the production of Push and i'm so excited to see how it develops!

Wood Wood Moorgate Hoodie // Goodhood // £145
I feel like i'm constantly looking to winter months when I want to buy something new. I literally went out today in the rain with an umbrella, wooly hat, jumper and coat - it's July. Any excuse to wear more layers... If I could live in oversized sweatshirts and jeans forever I probably would. I remember this style of hoodie being in last winter and desperately wanting one from Urban Outfitters. Arguably I think this one is even nicer with the subtle embroidery and silver zip. I'd probably style this with light wash jeans, a white t-shirt and possibly white trainers? maybe - so all white Vans Old Skools or just a classic pair of Converses.

Sterling Silver Stud Earrings // Sarah Lucie Jewellery // £10
I actually bought these about a week ago on Etsy from Sarah Lucie Jewellery. I tend to buy a lot of my jewellery - or at least I went through a phase of buying rings, earrings and necklaces through Etsy shops up and down the country. Quick question but do you ever find that your ears turn green where they are pierced if you wear certain earrings? I used to get that a lot, so when I search for jewellery on Etsy I always make sure it's sterling silver. Anyway, I found these little earrings, among other really cute designs all handmade in Scotland by Sarah Lucie. They are so simple and perfect, at such a good price I am over the moon with them. I can't recommend Etsy enough for jewellery!

Nina Manandhar shoots Wimbledon for Vogue // Words by Lucy Bourton
This post is slightly on the late side now that Wimbledon is over but I wanted to share it regardless. Did anyone manage to watch the Tennis this year? We had it on at work and I tried to catch as much of it as I could. After the tournament was over, I saw an article from It's Nice That about Nina Manandhar photographing Wimbledon for Vogue. As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to rekindle my passion for photography and am constantly looking for inspiration. Lucy Bourton writes that Manandhar's photos amplify "things that make Wimbledon unlike any other tennis tournament". Worth a read and beautiful images I hope you agree!

I guess this is a feature post / review / here is the bag I bought from Urban Outfitters. I went into Oxford for lunch the other day and the weather turned really nice - the perfect opportunity for some pictures. I bought this bag last week before I went out in London and cannot believe what a steal it was. I'd really like to get some pin badges just to personalise it a little more. It looks quite big but as I've always said - I carry a lot with me.

For some crazy reason, I never knew about the series of fashion interviews and documentaries that Alexa Chung did with British Vogue last summer. I'm actually just scrolling back in Vogue's YouTube history to try and find when they were all originally uploaded. So far i've watched uncovering the industry secrets, social media at Balmain with Olivier Rousteing, how to get a job at Vogue, blogging and building your platform anddd the one when Alexa goes to New York. At an incredibly transitional time myself, it's great to see that so much information is accessible about working in fashion. Still trying to find my feet and make decisions on my future, I found these episodes very insightful and helpful and recommend watching them if you get the chance!

Much like everyone else at the moment, I find out about a lot of outfits and styling via Instagram. Whether that's other blogger's outfits, new release trainers, or just brands sharing how they style their clothes. So, constantly scanning for new looks and ways to evolve my personal style, I've been looking at how to dress for the summer. I tend to shy away from skirts and feel that they don't look right on me, howeverrr I am now keen to style a varsity jacket with a big oversized tee, skirt, trainers and tote bag.

As an avid reader of Vogue, I also take a lot of my style inspiration from their pages too. I am honestly loving the oversized printed statement scarves. I also missed out on buying a pair of embroidered boots from Topshop a few months ago which I was in love with. Now whenever I see embroidered clothing my heart breaks a little.

I am wearing American Apparel disco pants, a cropped sweatshirt from Brandy Melville, platform Old Skools and my bag is a Nylon bum bag from Urban Outfitters. I literally bought it 2 days ago and it's sold out but I'll try and do a post for it this week!
I really should have like, idk a separate tab or a section that I dedicate to London. I post so much about going there that I'm considering having a different part of my blog for it. So yes, once again, I was back in London. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions for places I should really check out when I'm there. I'm always discovering new spots and I definitely want to get to the London Transport Museum for the Sounds of the City exhibition at some point!

Camo Trousers // ASOS // £32
I've always wanted to pull off patterned trousers. Having lived in jeans and leggings, venturing into brightly coloured trousers is not something i've considered, but you know, there's always room for change. Camo trousers, yes. These were in fashion a while ago but I've found myself trying to decide between a new pair of jeans or trousers like these. I'd probably pair them with 1. white cropped top + vans or 2. oversized black jumper and air max 95s.

Old Skools // Vans // £60
I finally have my hands on a pair of platform Old Skools! I wrote about wanting some earlier this year (post) and now I finally do. I tried on a few pairs of different shoes when I was shopping yesterday but settled on these Vans. The Old Skools I have now are looking a little worse for wear and I always try and keep my Vans clean so fingers crossed I can this time. I've been wearing a size 6 shoe for a while, but as you know, different shoes can run a little bigger or smaller. I opted for a size 7 with these and they're a comfortable fit. I don't lace them tightly so they can go on without me having to adjust them. I'll probably spray them too as I actually cannot keep any shoes I have in good condition. Even though the platform is really small I feel like they definitely make my legs look longer. I'm pretty tall anyway but it's always nice to have an extra boost.

I've only visited North Berwick twice. The first time was a few weeks ago when my parents came to Edinburgh for my degree show, and the second time was on Tuesday following my graduation! Unfortunately the weather was pretty shocking all day but as I love North Berwick so much, we decided to go. As you can tell from the images, it really was a very grey day but we managed to get ice cream from Alanda's Gelateria - theeeee best ice cream.
