SEARCHING

The first really cold day so I decided to wear a scarf and coat. Its weird because the photos look like its really hot because of the sun, but I promise you it was freezing! This outfit must be one of my most casual ones. I'm back at uni soon and this is definitely a student look.
I'm finding it difficult to find a job that will accommodate my needs i.e let me sit down rather than standing all day- which is something I can't do being hemplegic and unable to stand for very long.




My jean's,  jumper and scarf are from Topshop, the coat is from Jane Norman, brought years ago and my shoes are Birkenstocks.

Instead I have had to find ways of dressing to accommodate this. I am going to sha...

EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL

It's that time of the year again, festivals are in full motion. One of my favourites (mainly because I've been performing in it for the past two years) is the Edinburgh Fringe. An explosive delight of arts from theatre to music to comedy. Edinburgh is a fantastic city and comes alive at this time of the year with an eclectic mix of acts. I will once again be gracing the streets of Edinburgh with my acting group Flying High. Here is a link to our play based on the process of filling out your UCAS application for university. It will be well worth your while! https://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/theatre/forty-five-minutes
