A month in Instagram photos! • SEPTEMBER!

Hi everyone!

It's been quite a while since my last post (again) but in my defence a LOT has happened during that time and so I'm kicking off October with a late month of instagram photos, which I hope you'll enjoy. My instagram name is @artaccessoriesattireblog do give me a follow if you can, I'll really appreciate it ;) During September, I started my final year at university (hurrah!) and indulged in the Pandora free bracelet promotion which was naughty but a nice treat.

As you can see, many of these photographs feature my puppy, Star and she's also featured in a couple of other posts on here; sadly, on the 26th of September she died in the night, in my nanas arms. She was a beautiful little girl, full of life and love. She made every person in my house love, laugh, cry and live and without her the house feels empty. She was so special but everyday I smile more as I remember her, my pet and my selfie buddy.

Chocolate also features in this post, thanks a lovely set of friends who gave me flowers and chocolate as well as an evening of their lives to help me relax and grieve which was amazing and so thoughtful. So overall, September definitely had some highs and lows, but I can look back at all of the photographs with happiness knowing that at least I have happy memories. Heres to a new month and hard work ahead of me, eeeeek final year I'm dreading it all already! Wish me luck and see you all soon, Rach x x x

Summer Loving!

Hello everyone, apologies it has been a while once again since my last post! This features an element of my love/hate relationship with summer. I love the flowers and my garden but at the same time the humidity consistently gets to me and I'm simply one of those people that gets really flustered and overheated. These photographs were all taken in my garden, of my garden and featuring my baby dog Star...!

For the hot weather I can't help but dig out a pair of cool hippy pants in varying colours and patterns and a plain black or white t-shirt for a relaxed look. Make-up wise, I do rely on concealer, eyebrow pencil, blusher, eyeliner, mascara and an SPF lipstick for a bit of coverage and obviously sunglasses are a must. I bought these lovely Birkenstocks at a bargain price from my local TKMaxx and I was a convert literally straightaway, I love the bright pop of colour too, and they are study and stylish. Although this outfit isn't the most beautiful or stylish, I felt really confident, cool and comfortable in it, and for me, that's what summer dressing is really about.

I do appreciate a beautiful flower/plant although I must admit I'm not keen on the long watering/caring for plants at the end of the day but its annoying seeing Star rip up/play with/eat various plants that my nana grows! Talking of my nana, she made me these gorgeous camera earrings for my 21st birthday and I've worn them so so often ever since, they seem to work with everything and add a bit of my personality to everything I wear, they're a little quirky too which I adore. Do any of you have a specific piece of jewellery or outfit you immediately run to when you need a quick inspiration fix? Let me what you thought of this post via the comments too! See you soon, Rach x x x
