Dancing on the Spanish Steps ✨

Last month I had the privilege to take my first aeroplane ride to beautiful Roma. This photo was a quick spontaneous shot taken in the late hours of a Thursday morning and unsurprisingly it was very busy. As I don’t currently own a wide angle lense, we had to take the photo in two shots and merge them in the editing process. A lot of hours were spent on Photoshop to get the place looking empty and into one full frame but fortunately the result was worth it!

No matter how you live your life. There will always be someone disappointed, disagreeing and think they know better. So just live your truth and make sure you aren’t the one who is disappointed in the end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ *the bag in this photo was gifted to me for a previous collaboration.

If I’m ever having a moment of doubt, whether this be wearing what I want or saying ‘yes’ to a new opportunity, I think about what I would say if I came back from the future as an 80 year-old woman. The answer I fall up on is usually ‘go for it!’ Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by people older than myself, who hold too many life regrets and talk about the things they wish they had done. I don’t want to be one of those people who looks back and says ‘I wish I had done that’, I want to be able to say ‘I did that’. 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ *the bag in this photo was gifted to me for a previous collaboration.

It’s time to initiate.
Life is too damn short to live in a mediocre way. Wake up with a purpose and make the best of each day and your short time on this earth. Stop saying “I will do this when I have more money” or “I’ll start when I’m more settled.” Stop making excuses. What if I told you that all you need is what you have right now. That’s all you need just to make a start. It doesn’t matter if you’re 27 or 50, set your alarm for tomorrow morning and wake up with purpose. Always give your best and life your best life. Don’t let the years just pass you by - because we don’t get another chance. This is it.

You can always trust the untrustworthy because you can always trust that they will be untrustworthy. Its the trustworthy you can’t trust.☠️

A Throwback to when we visited a ship to do a modern pirate themed fashion shoot. We got kicked out because we were too naive and didn’t yet understand the issues around photoshoots...

Throughout my life I’ve had various people make fun of me for being different. I’ve never really conformed and as the years go by this becomes more apparent. Even in the way I ‘dress up’ everyday, it draws attention because it’s deemed uncontroversial. It’s resulted in being asked from time to time how I have the confidence to stand out and the courage to stand up. I don’t even notice I’m portraying these strong qualities because I am simply unafraid to be myself...⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
It is unfortunate that so many of us do everything we can not to stand out. The fear of drawing attention confines us to conform. By doing everything we can to ‘fit in’ we are only oppressing everything that makes us great- great things that could contribute to a better world.

No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else. So stand tall darling. Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons. 🌸✨

Finding this house in all its Wisteria glory was a small and special moment for me. Admittedly I relished in pride when we turned the corner to see it sitting peacefully there, as I had previously spent hours on Google maps street view trying to locate this beauty. Those hours were definitely worth it and this photo really does not do this house justice. This is a true example of why Spring will always be my favourite season. 💜
