BIG HAIR ON BRICK LANE

in my sunday best blog

Sometimes in all my excitement, I’ll forget i have some snaps on my memory card, and upon finding them i’ll sometimes lapse into a little daydream about when they were taken, why etc, etc. I met up with Sherida a few weeks ago for a day of eating pancakes at The Breakfast Club (aka my second home), complaining about boys, intense retail therapy on Brick Lane to make up for complaining about boys, and general girl-power uplifting chats.

“That’s the cool thing about blogging, sometimes someone will just send you an e-mail or a text and ask to meet for a coffee, and normally i’d follow my parent’s advice about not meeting people on the internet because theres a 99.9% chance that they could possibly be an axe-murderer.”

But i’m glad i took the chance with Sherida because she is 100% not an axe-murderer and she runs an incredible personal blog devoted to photography, her thoughts and splashes of colour, and it really reflects the type of person she is in real life, super bright, sunny and warm-spirited, just an awesome person to be with really. And every single time we meet up, we both leave feeling so uplifted and encouraged. Life can be a very lonely place at times, and it’s a bit more lonely when you don’t have many close friends irl, or a significant other, so i’m glad i’ve stuck by this little blog (even though i considered deleting it only a few days ago!) if not only for the kind people i’m meeting along the way.

WHAT I WORE
