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.
