A Life & Style That Doesn't Follow The Rules
// LATEST
- BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANDIDA. I don’t want to start sounding like a broken record – I feel like I begin a lot of my blog posts recently with ‘I’ve had ill health for the last ten years’. Undiagnosed illnesses are monotonous and draining and writing about it can feel just as strenuous. That being said,[...]

ON YOUR
DOORSTEP
Writing a blog is without doubt my favourite thing in the world. It’s a place to call my own, somewhere I can be completely, unapologetically myself.
I’ve been writing here for over 5 years, and in that time so much has changed.
Back in 2012, I’d stand in my back garden with my tripod and self timer; propping myself awkwardly against my parents fence, my side sweeping fringe blowing in the wind whilst taking hundreds of outfit photos.

THE FACE OF
DEPRESSION
// LIFESTYLE
Wonderful You has always been a place for me to share my honesty, but honestly? It’s pretty much always been a platform on which I look ‘my best’. My instagram feed is full of my freshly painted face or my next thought-out outfit. My blog a place to showcase topics I feel are important, but that are portrayed in a way that make me feel most beautiful.
Depression.
It’s a word that makes that ‘best self’ disappear quicker than I could have ever imagined.
SHE'S A
LADY
STYLE //
Hearing the word 'ladylike' can leave a bitter taste in my mouth. It's the age-old restraint applied to women to fit a certain mould - and the one major culprit of squeezing us in to that one limited box? The fashion industry.
Right now it can be challenging to be a woman - but its also an empowering time. A time where we can make a change.
And so, when H&M got in touch and told me about their #LadyLike campaign I was immediately interested. Their 2-minute video aims to redefine what ladylike has meant in the past; featuring women of all shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds, it's an opportunity for the fashion industry to make women feel included. For the first time, there's a girl gang to be proud of and I'm beyond excited to share it with you.

The Media Eye - Rising Stars June 16
Err..that's me apparently! But really I'm just Megs, a 28 year old who blogs full-time (ooh-err) and doesn't live in London (eek). And guys, I really, really love this part of my life. I write about my personal style, a little bit of beauty, where I travel and matters of the heart.
