Tiktok Trends: George Kids

 If you've been spending your lockdown on tiktok like I have, you would have seen some trends for supermarket clothes and kids clothes over the past couple of months. When George at ASDA launched its summer range, it really took off on tiktok and I just knew I had to try it!

Those of us who hit 5'3 on a good day are no strangers to shopping in kids sections. I'd say 90% of my shoes and most of my basics come from the children section. But, it's not somewhere I would ever look for a fashionable outfit. After seeing all the great reviews on tiktok, I just knew I had to try the George looks for myself. Unfortunately, the gingham co-ord everyone has been raving about was sold out, but I found a couple of other cute looks

Outfit 1 - 7/10


If you've read my other posts you'll already know that yellow and puff sleves are both big ticks in my book. I really REALLY wanted to love this dress, but I just couldn't. It's not awful. It's just fine. I've definitely worn worse dresses in my life, but it just didn't make me feel pretty. It felt like it was clinging to me in places I didn't really want it to be (in the first picture you can really clearly see the waistband on my tights!) and the length felt a bit wrong on me. While the fabric was super soft, it didn't have as much stretch as I'd expected. Honestly though, for the price you really can't complain. If you have an summer event to go to and your outfit budget is tight this dress would definitely do!

Outfit 2 - 5/10


I had such high hopes for this co-ord but it was just a bit wrong. Embarrassingly as 22 this children age 15 outfit was too big for mw, which was part of the issue. The top was okay. The fabric felt a little cheap and it didn't fit me very well, but I'm sure it'd look cute with a pair of jeans. The skirt was a different story. It was weirdly shapeless with some attempt at cute design features, but just not quite enough. If I could have just kept the top, I probably would have. Maybe if it was a smaller size I'd feel differently, but I'm not sure my ego could take buying clothes made for a 13 year old.

Surgery Diary: What to pack for Day Surgery

Image
 Before I went in for surgery, I was super stressed about what to take with me. Obviously the hospital give you a list, but beyond dressing gown and slippers there was zero guidance. After a little bit of googling, I came up with my own list which I thought I'd share here and hopefully it'll help you if you're going in for day surgery soon! I split my list into 4 main sections - Toiletries, Comfort, Entertainment, and Hospital Essentials. I know it might seem a bit excessive, but if, like me, you end up being kept overnight, you'll be glad you packed everything! If you want a printable hospital packing list, I've attached one at the bottom of this post. Hospital Essentials These are the things I was told by the hospital I had to bring with me. I was told I needed a dressing gown and slippers , which I got on ASOS, but I also packed an old pair of fluffy slipper socks to keep my feet warm. I also put all of my medications together in a little tin and slipped that in

Surgery Diary: 1 Month Post-Op

Image
 I've finally passed one month post-op, which seems like a lifetime and no time at all! I don't realise just how much progress I've made in the fast few weeks, until I take the time to reflect on it.  Warning: There are photos of stitches at the bottom of this post! If you don't already know, last month I had a complex hip arthroscopy after a sports injury. Since then, I've been documenting my recovery on my Instagram and also here, on my blog! If you want to read about my first two weeks post surgery you can do that here. I started week 3 walking full time on two crutches, but up to 75% weight. Quickly, I was able to walk around the house with one (or no) crutches, although only for short distances.  One of the good things about surgery is you have a great excuse to be lazy. So, a significant amount of week 2 was spent ordering pizza in my oodie and watching way too much greys anatomy. I did quite quickly realise I was capable of hobbling around the house crutchles

Post-Lockdown Looks: Statement Flares

Image
Yellow has always been one of my absolute favourite colours - there is just something about it that makes me happy! But, it's not a colour I would ever really wear. So when I saw these trousers, I just knew I had to have them! While statement flares are a wardrobe essential for coming seasons, they can be a bit daunting to style if you've been living in black skinny jeans since 2012 like most of us. In this post I wanted to show you three really simple ways to style a statement pair of flares for spring and summer. My flares are from Hollister and are a really light weight stretch fabric, perfect for summer, but all of these looks would work with a heavier, denim pair. Flares: Hollister      Crop: Cotton On      Bag: Oliver Bonas    Shoes: Nike For my first look I paired the flares with a loose fitting white polo crop for a stylish but casual look. I added a bright mini handbag to add to the sunny look, as well as a bright white pair of trainers. I wore this look for a relaxed
