My Favourite Outfits of 2017

2017 - What a fun year you've been. I travelled to Boulder, Portland, Brussels, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Milan, Rome, Dusseldorf, Disneyland Pairs 3 times and Ljubljana - Phew i've racked up the air miles. I turned 30 (but hey age is just a number), took on the health concern trolls and questioned where the role models have gone and wrote about being ghosted,  finally got my Nightmare Before Christmas tattoo, had lots of amazing days out; Afternoon tea at Sketch, Kew Gardens, London Edge, Voodoo Vixen party, Style XL Awards. I made new friends and got to spend time with old friends. Bring on 2018
