Adventuring

 Recent Adventures


Stepping away from fashion content this time, letting you all in on a little bit of who I am and what I love! Doing a full-time Uni degree and another part-time degree free time is not something that I have much of. However me and my bestie have dedicated Mondays to adventuring (if we aren't being lazy). We have decided to visit as many locations within Northern Ireland as we can because it's crazy that we haven't seen at least half of the country we live in.

Kodak corner + slievemeen 


This was our first location and definitely my favourite so far. Kodak Corner is one of those places that captures the essence of the Mourne Mountains perfectly. It’s a well-known photography spot located near the foothills of the Mournes, earning its name because of the sheer beauty of the landscape. It’s still just as stunning now, whether you’re snapping on a smartphone or carrying a DSLR. However if i can make one reccomendation it would be to go on a clear day, we went in the fog and rain but it was still so much fun.
Together, Kodak Corner and Slievemeen make for a perfect day out, combining a slice of Northern Ireland’s natural beauty with a sense of timeless charm. Whether you’re a hiker, a photographer, or just someone who loves a good view, these spots won’t disappoint. It isn't a steep climb thankfully (and our fitness levels are NOT good) but still has very stunning views of the Mournes and Carlingford Lough.


Hidden village of Glenboly

 A bit more local to home this time we explored Glenboly, The hidden village of Glenboly is one of those enchanting, almost mythical places in Northern Ireland that feels straight out of a storybook. Nestled somewhere in the landscape of County Down, near the Mourne Mountains, What remains today are ruins—stone walls overrun with moss, the faint outlines of cottages, and the occasional artefact unearthed by curious hikers. It’s a spot where nature has gently reclaimed its space, weaving the history of human settlement into the landscape. You won't find any signposts but if you just put Glenboly village into maps it will bring you to a little lay-by at the bottom of the walk. Once you reach some little thatched houses continue up the hill past the gate to find the most breathtaking views!

Fashion Trends to Try: Leopard Print, Pops of Red, and More! Let’s talk about some seriously fun trends taking over wardrobes right now. If you’re looking to switch things up or just want to add some excitement to your closet, you’re in the right place. Here’s what’s hot this season: leopard print, pops of red, and a whole lot more! 1. Leopard Print: Go Wild! Leopard print is back, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon! This bold print is perfect for those days when you just want to add a little something to your outfit, I'm not big on patterns but leopard print is one I can definitely get behind. Think cute leopard print skirts, cosy jackets, or even funky shoes such as the Wales Bonner sambas which have been so popular this season. You can keep it chill by pairing it with solid colours or go all out by mixing it with other prints  2. Pops of Red: Turn Heads This autumn, red is totally stealing the spotlight!

My current fashion faves

Subtle Gorpcore : Something I am loving at the moment is Arc'teryx Jackets, I can't get enough of them. Although we may not be hiking any mountains I still think these jackets could be a wardrobe staple for our typical Northern Irish weather. However this model of jacket come in at a not so nice £550 (ouch) however there are many similar 'dupes' for much less. Fur Coats : I LOVE LOVE LOVE fur coats, my current debate is wether to get a leopard print one or a plain one but this Zara one has made up my mind for me. It's a perfect basic that can be dressed up or down. I personally pair my Dr Marten platforms with just  about anything and after creating this outfit I was just completely obsessed with the way the coat just adds that perfect finishing touch to an otherwise very basic outfit. Hoodies that HOODIE : I love a good hoodie, but I also get very  fussy when  it comes to investing in one. Akimbo seem to have just got everything right with their "Akimbo Hoodie...

  Starlight Studios Starting your own business can be one of the most thrilling yet challenging experiences. When I launched Starlight Studios  I didn't expect much to come of it and just viewed it as  a side hustle opportunity. It started as a small project but quickly grew quite profitable. Here’s a little look at my journey, from the rise of the business to its decline, and what I learned along the way. Why Start a Graphic T-Shirt Business? The idea to start a graphic t-shirt brand came from my passion for streetwear and unique, creative designs. I was always drawn to bold, artistic t-shirts that made a statement. I saw a gap in the market to make slightly more affortable graphic tees than brands such as In Print We Trust. My goal was to create a collection of tees that would resonate with individuals who shared the same fashion taste as me. After doing some research, I found that the t-shirt industry had a relatively low barrier to entry. With platforms like Depop and...
