August favourites!

By -


I've never done a "favourites" post before, but when stuck for some inspiration, I really just wanted to tell you guys all the things I've been loving right now! So it's not technically an "August" favourites, as some of these are not from this month, but it's things I've been listening to/watching/wearing/buying this month. Is that August favourites? Who knows...let's just get to the list.

Music

Anne-Marie. Always the top of my list, second to Beyonce. I absolutely love her songs! Her lyrics are so powerful, the tunes are so catchy, there's always a great story behind the songs. I was fortunate enough to see her live at Wireless at the start of July (wow, a month ago already!) and am going to see her again in November- I can not wait!

Lemonade. It's not getting old! Beyonce's latest album 'Lemonade' is played on almost a daily basis. There's not a song I don't love on the album and I can relate to so many of the lyrics. It's really just a masterpiece!

Amy Winehouse.
On a few car journey's recently, my family and I have been listening to Amy Winehouse, and I've been reliving the greatness of all of her songs. She has so many brilliant ones, but my favourite is probably 'Stronger Than Me'.

Films/TV shows.

Friday Night Dinner.
The new series started three weeks ago and it is just hysterical; although should we really have expected anything less? The family are back and up to more mishaps than ever- I actually cried at an episode it was that funny!

Jonah from Tonga.
Have you watched J'amie and/or Summer Heights High? Well, Jonah from Tonga is a spin off of these two programs. We first meet Jonah in Summer Heights High as a background character. Jonah from Tonga focuses more on Jonah and what he gets up to. I promise you it will have you in absolute stitches!

The Fundamentals of Caring.
As a Netflix original, I wasn't sure what to expect from this film. However, it had Paul Rudd in and he hasn't done a single bad film, so I had to give it a go. Without giving away any spoilers, the film was not what I had expected at all and was seriously so good. I think it's one of my new favourite films because it's just so excellent. The cast, the storyline, the background story for each of the characters...all amazing.

Clothing.

Fenty x Rihanna Pumas.
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen my latest purchase; pink Fenty x Rihanna Pumas. You know the ones, the furry sliders! I have deliberated over these since they first came out, wondering if I'd ever seriously wear fur shoes out and about but trying to justify spending £60 on designer shoes just for the house. However, when I decided to buy them online, they were out of stock. I was heartbroken! So when I walked past a shop in Marlow and found they had one pink pair left in stock in my size, I had to buy them- and I have no regrets! They're honestly the comfiest shoes ever! 

Longline Bomber.
I purchased a longline bomber as my first Autumn jacket, and tried to save it until then, but I just couldn't wait! I've worn it every day since I've purchased it, it's just so stylish- well, I think so anyway! It looks great with my sliders too...




Other things I've been loving this month are falafel, my Michael Kors bag, my velvet choker, my delicious lunch time wraps and Cute Nutrition shakes and tablets- more will be coming on those later on! What are you absolutely loving right now? Let me know in the comments below!

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

By -

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
