These set of images might look like they were taken in an old town in Europe, but alas! You could actually be right… West Yorkshire is an old town and it is (at the time I’m writing this it still very much feels) in Europe. But these images certainly look far from a quaint, countryside English town and I was fully embracing that sunlight!
I actually managed to thrift this gorgeous playsuit from Missguided in a local town in Surrey, and I always get compliments when I wear it! I always feel mega confident in it, as I feel like I truly am channeling my inner LA girl (can I be the trio to the Songster sisters? please?)
Even though this particular might still not be up for grabs, there are so many gorgeous casual playsuits on the market recently. They make for such a easy, flowy summer look and make me want to dance under the sunlight with my hands in the air (see photo above).
As I come to put the finishing touches on this post, on June 24th, I feel like I cannot pass over what has been a historic day. I certainly don’t think this blog is the place for political debate and I aren’t here to start division and hostility between people, quite the opposite (at the heart of it we are all united for the same common vision). This place is for inspiration and positivity, to inspire and bring people together. I must admit that today I awoke with a sense of emptiness in my heart. I felt immediately disconnected and alone in the decision that had been made for the UK here today. As part of the British youth, I feel honored that I had the chance to vote and voice my opinion. As much we may be the ‘selfie generation’, it appears that we are less self absorbed as others perhaps thought.
Ultimately, regardless of politics, the amount of compassion and love in my heart for this earth and it’s inhabitants is enormous. I want to embrace the world, hold hands with it’s countries and cultures and become a world citizen. Although I can now come to understand that everyone is united in their choice to ultimately create a better world, I must say here and now that I wish for everyone, young and old, to be open. Open to the lessons that will be learnt, open to our hearts, open to the hearts and lives of others, open to our life, open to experience, disappointment and ultimately learning for the greater good. I appreciate that lessons can be learnt from those who have lived longer and experienced more years on earth that I have, but I must pledge and strongly remind those with this belief that there is a lot that can be learnt from the youth in return.
From here on, we work in unison to a same common goal of peace and love. It may sound all hippy, but does anyone really want the opposite of those words? I have allowed myself to grieve for the loss of ties to the countries that I have grown so fond of over my travels, the people I have been lucky to meet and even those who have come into my life in other ways to inspire me and many more. I will do my part to continue to play my part to the world’s happiness by simply vowing to myself to continue to do what I love. I could have chosen not to publish this post today in my grief, but instead, I have allowed it to propel me forward in my own passionate journey to my destiny. I will work hard to do the things that I love doing each and every day and if we all promise to do that, we will create a harmonious world. Do not lose your faith and love, for if you focus on creating your own positivity, life will always be full of abundance.
