    My Ohio, United States Photo Diary – Part 1

    Christen and I in his car. I’ve officially been in the United States, specifically Ohio, for 19 days now! I can’t believe it’s almost 3 weeks! I go back home in 2 and a half weeks, and there’s still so much that I want to do and see. I’m splitting my photo diary into about 3 different blog posts because there’s so much to share, so here’s part one, which compiles some of the snaps I took from the first 2 weeks. I don’t want to write too much text as it’s quite picture heavy, so I will just put a few little captions underneath each pic. So far though, after arriving here from Croatia, I’m having a wonderful time and experiencing so much! I’ve already been to Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, Bob Evans, Fizoli’s, Chipotle, Circle K, Old Navy, American Eagle, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kohl’s, Texas Roadhouse and so much more! The scenery is amazing here too! The sky is stunning in the evenings, everything is so big and open spaced, the cars are on the wrong side of the road… Ha ha. I love the USA and everyone is so friendly! As you know from my previous post though, I’m staying here with Christen, and meeting him when I arrived into Columbus, Ohio airport was so surreal. I met a lovely lady on the second flight from Newark to Columbus, and she took our photo as I arrived. When I was in Newark airport in New Jersey, I got to see the New York skyline out of the window, and that was pretty incredible! I can’t wait to…

    Coach Leather Biker Jacket With Saint Laurent Boots

    A Coach Leather Biker Jacket Outfit With Saint Laurent West Harness Boots For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you will have seen this gorgeous Coach Leather Biker Jacket in a couple of my live streams. I was doing a new purchases haul a couple of months ago, and I couldn’t wait to share how amazing this is! There’s a little story behind it, so let me tell you! The men’s version of this Coach Biker Jacket is what Christen owns, before I met him, and I absolutely loved it. I never considered buying it myself as it costs too much, however I did try it last year, but felt like it was a bit boxy, so I sent it back. Now there was a Mother’s Day 20% discount a while ago, on the US website, and I asked Christen to purchase it for me (I’d pay him back), and keep it at his until I arrived. That didn’t go to plan as the first one arrived damaged, and without the Rexy charm, and the second one also arrived with flaws, minus the Rexy charm. We couldn’t exchange it again as all of the size 2’s were then out of stock! So I was back to the drawing board. I then couldn’t get the jacket off of my mind (you know how it is!) and decided to finally order just one size 2 on the UK website, at full price, and see what happens. I wasn’t happy about paying so much for it, knowing it could have been discounted, however, the one I received was absolutely perfect! It…

    ALLSAINTS Dalby Leather Biker Jacket Review

    Allsaints Dalby Leather Biker Jacket Review I’m excited to be sharing a new leather jacket review with you! We all know how much I love them and when I saw this one, I fell in love instantly. I will admit that it was an impulse buy as Adam and I had just walked into Allsaints to kill some time and browse around, fully intending not to buy anything, but then I saw it… The rest of the story will unfold in the review below for you. This was when I first fell in love with the minimal and sleek design of the Dalby, and I have since purchased 3 more! I own the Dalby in Black, White, Burgundy, and Blush Pink. That’s how much I love it! It’s one of Allsaint’s most classic and popular designs, along with the Balfern (see my Allsaints Balfern leather jacket review), so read on and see why you need this jacket too! The Fit & Design The Dalby is much like a classic biker cut, it features simple lapels that snap down securely with poppers so they don’t flap about (a design detail I love), and a slightly cropped fit. It has no belt around the bottom, no over the top zips, just two simple zipped pockets on each side and a sleek, minimal design all over. The main zipper is asymmetrical, giving it a more flattering look when it’s zipped up, but as I never zip my jackets up (due to a larger chest, smaller waist/shoulder ratio), that’s not really something I can talk about. Overall though, this design is something that I’m…

    My Cavtat Croatia Travel Diary

    Hey everyone! I said I would update you with a Croatian travel diary and let you know where I stayed etc., and here it is! I am no longer in Croatia, I took a flight out of Dubrovnik on Tuesday, into Newark in New Jersey, USA! Then took a connecting flight to Ohio, to finally stay with Christen! Remember I was telling you guys on 4th of July that I wanted to finally get to the United States and spend my time with Christen? Well, I’m FINALLY HERE! It was almost a full 24 hour day of travelling. The flight from Croatia to Newark was almost 10 hours, and then I had a 4 hour layover, then an hour and a half flight into Columbus, Ohio, where Christen met me. After knowing each other online for an extremely long time, to finally be in person is amazing! So I will be updating you all with a post on how things are here, and a USA travel diary too, but for now, check out my photos below and what happened in Croatia! I absolutely love these photos here at sunset! As you know I travelled to Croatia alone for 16 days, but I did end up making friends. There were a couple of girls in the same apartment building as me, and they were alone too, and we hit it off! You can see some pics of them below, but I’ve definitely made friends for life and it was so much fun going out to dinner sometimes and sightseeing! The sunsets were beyond stunning though, so you can’t really go wrong…

    Currently Craving Wish List: August 2021

    Happy Sunday! For those of you that read my last blog post and know that I am currently in Croatia, I am having the time of my life here and I’m leaving very soon! I just have one day left! It’s crazy how these two weeks have just flown by, and I will be in the USA! Just like how the months go by so quickly, it’s time for another Currently Craving Wish List, this time for August, and I’ve selected 20 different items that I want to purchase! So, take a look at the look book below!     First up is a gorgeous gold Vita necklace from my newest brand obsession, Daisy London. Isn’t this gorgeous? It would look so good as a layering piece! I’ve also chosen some of their silver hoop earrings in this look book too, as I own the gold ones exactly the same, but would love silver too! Next is a pair of Golden Goose sneakers. I already own a few pairs as you might remember from my Golden Goose sneakers review, but this pair has a cartoon element to them that I think is extremely cool! They are 100% on my wish list! Then there’s a pair of DL1961 washed black skinny jeans that I really want to own, as they look so comfortable, as well as the same pair in white! There’s a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch blue jeans, with a more on trend cut, and then something I adore… The ACNE Studios Mock Leather Biker Jacket. Isn’t it incredible? It comes with a hefty price tag though, so it’s…

    Surprise! I Flew To Croatia!

    Hello From Dubrovnik, Croatia! I told you guys the next blog post would be a big surprise! Those of you who follow me on Instagram, already know this, but to those of you who are just readers of my blog, did you expect that? Ha ha! You all know that I have had a fear of flying, ever since I was little, so I had never got on a plane at all, until Sunday, when I took my very first flight, alone. I’m in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and it’s absolutely incredible here! The temperatures are extremely hot though, so I’ve been wearing my SPF 50, which is helping me not burn, but I absolutely love it! I’m going to break this up into sections so that I can share my first flight experience with you too, so carry on reading to find out more and check out my photo diary! Like I said up there, I had always been afraid of flying, my entire life. I was scared of my ears really hurting, the travel sickness, potentially getting a bleeding nose from pressure etc., but as it turned out, I didn’t have to worry about any of that! I prepared well and bought some EarPlanes ear plugs, to eliminate the pressure, and my gosh do they work! I never felt an ounce of any pressure in my ears once! I also took travel sickness medication, so I never got motion sickness either! Now you know me, I don’t really do anything alone, but there I was, heading to Bristol airport and taking my very first flight by myself. I went with…

    A Balfern Leather Jacket With A Leopard Dress

    Allsaints Tiana Slip Dress With A Balfern Leather Jacket Hey everyone! How are you all? I hope you’re well! I haven’t made this announcement yet on my blog as I’ve been waiting for the right time to do it, and that will be next week! There’s something seriously exciting going on right now and I cannot wait to share it with you! It’s definitely a new chapter in my life, but in the meantime, I wanted to share this outfit with you that my mum and I shot recently. I love how it turned out as I put it together on a whim to be honest, a definite spur of the moment look, but as it turns out, I absolutely love it and couldn’t wait to show you all. I was wearing a new Allsaints Tiana Halftone Slip Dress, which I layered my Allsaints Balfern Leather Biker Jacket over, and finished it off with my Sam Edelman Yaro Heels, and a Brixton Black Hat. I took this leopard print dress in size medium as I think the silky slips look a lot nicer with a looser fit, as they hang well. I absolutely love the long length slip dresses like this that Allsaints release, and this season they have so many gorgeous ones! There’s even a new pink one I like. But this particular one is called Khaki Green, and it’s a mix of brown, dark green, and blue within the leopard print, and it’s so cool! I did a post a while ago called ‘what to know before you buy an Allsaints leather jacket‘ and I spoke about sizing…

    Styling A Black Summer Dress

    An All Black Summer Dress Outfit Happy weekend everyone! I hope you’re all having a nice time. What have you been up to lately? I have some important news coming up that I will be sharing with you soon. It’s also my birthday on Tuesday, so that’s something I always look forward to. Anyway, I’m keeping this blog post short, so lets get to the outfit below! Since I do love wearing black, who says it’s not a Summer colour too? I think you can wear black all year round and it can look really chic and stylish as a day time dress too! This particular dress is by Abercrombie & Fitch, and I think it’s incredibly flattering. I love how it’s slim at the bust, and then floaty from the waist out, but it really enhances your body shape. I paired it with my Sam Edelman Black Sandals, and my Gucci GG Black Velvet Bag. For my jewellery, I went with my Olivia Burton watch, and I think this entire look requires some delicate and dainty rings! I have two new rings from Daisy London, as you can see below, and I am obsessed with them! Like I mentioned in my previous post, I’m really feeling gold jewellery lately! And aren’t these two rings just so pretty? The chain one is my favourite! What do you think of this outfit? Lorna xx. *Daisy London rings were gifted.
