I'm moving!

I have had this blog for over a year now and I have really enjoyed it! Whether people are reading or not, it's nice to be able to post about my life, my loves and my adventured. I have enjoyed developing my style but I feel like I have reached the end of my time on Blogger. I have kept the same name and my same blogging identity but I have now moved to Wordpress. Here I feel I have more control over the way it looks and it instantly looks more professional. I would absolutely love it if you would take the time to visit my new blog and follow. I have also created an account on bloglovin (if you don't know what it is, check it out! You can follow all your favourite blogs, including mine ;) in one place) so search my new URL and follow on there for regular updates.

Here is a link to my new blog

Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading my blog and I hope to see you all over on my new one! 

Much love

Day of Hiking

Where is my life going??! It's 3 days until the Easter holiday and then I'll have 1 (very short) term before I've finished my first year at music college. Crazy!

Anyway... today I went on a hike with my friend Aaron. We both come from Winchester and used to do a lot of walks around there together but obviously it's been a lot harder now we're in London. Today we both finished college at midday so we decided to get the train out of London and try a new walk. I have really been missing the countryside recently!

We got the train to Box Hill and did the Box Hill circular in the North Downs. The website warned it was 'strenuous' and it was not lying! It's about an 11 mile walk and we've done longer so we thought we'd be fine but it was ridiculously hilly. We would go up a long steep hill then wind back down it and then back up again and wow do my legs hurt! But hey, Monday is leg day after all! I used runtastic to track our walk and I did 28,000 steps, burned 970 calories and walked for about 5 hours- not a bad day of exercise.

It was such a pretty walk and the views were incredible (the photos really don't do it justice!) It was getting dark by the time we got to the final view point so didn't properly get to see what I can imagine is a really beautiful view. We are definitely going to do it again maybe with more people and go earlier in the morning so we can take it slower, stop at a pub for lunch and reach the final viewpoint in full daylight.

It's been such a long time since I posted (again) where I've been so busy and not really had anything interesting to post about but I am on holiday for the next 3 weeks so more will be coming I am sure! I am off to Morocco at the weekend which I am super excited about. I will do a blog post when I am back with lots of photos and I am sure some great adventures but be sure to keep up to date with my instagram (@schmegg_) where I will be posting lots of photos throughout the trip.

I hope everyone has a fab week x x x

Autumn Perks

I haven't written a post in SO long, mainly because I moved to London to start music college about a month ago so it's all been very stressful! So I decided it's about time to make a new post.

Since living alone in London, my obsession with style and beauty has gone a bit mad! Considering I'm living on a student budget, I have bought A LOT of new clothes and make up which I will definitely compile into a haul or Autumn favourites post for you very soon (I promise!). But for today I've made a short list of things I love about Autumn to help conquer any post-summer blues:

1. Crisp mornings and colourful trees make for beautiful photos.
2. The colder weather is a great excuse to drink A LOT more coffee.
3. Cozying up on the sofa with a blanket and sitting in front of the fire.
4. Bonfire night and fire work displays.
5. I'm not a massive fan of halloween but carving pumpkins does make me rather happy.
6. The Xfactor is back and even if, like me, you don't follow the show, you have to admit the first round of auditions is pretty funny.
7. Berry lipstick.
8. Finally time to whack out my favourite tartan scarf knitted jumpers again. In fact autumn fashion in general!
9. Amazing autumn scented candles.
10. Getting into a warm bed feels SO much nicer.
11. The clocks go back meaning we get an extra hours sleep!
12. Better sunsets.
13. Cuddling.
14. No need to feel bad about staying in in pyjamas with Netflix.
15. And of course, christmas is closer!

I hope you all have an amazing autumn and love it as much as I do! I am going to try and blog more often from now on so PLEASE leave any ideas of posts you want to see in the comments below, It would mean a lot! I will definitely post a beauty/style in the next few days so I will see you then.
Lots of love
xoxo
