Welcome to my new (or rather just improved) blog. If you've been following my blog for a while you may have noticed a lack of blog posts here over the last few months, and to be honest, I guess my heart just wasn't in it anymore. I was blogging out of a feeling that I should rather than wanting to. I feel like I've gone through a lot of changes in 2016. I started eating less meat (almost none), I've started buying less and decluttering more, I've become a little pissed off with the fashion industry after watching documentaries like 'The True Cost', and I've become an all round conscious consumer. I may still shop in Penneys from time to time or eat a bit of chicken for dinner but I've began to notice these things and I realise the consequences of it all. This may sound a bit airy-fairy for want of a better word, but basically.. (long story short).. I am now trying to live a life that doesn't have as much impact on the environment as a whole. The term 'sustainable living' has been thrown around quite a bit lately but I feel like it describes where I'm at right now.
I launched 'Dream Love Style' out of a desire for a less consumerist driven blog. Fashion Floor Fillers was born out of my love to shop, but currently I'm growing out of that, and so my blog too has grown. Dream Love Style will be more about continuing with my Capsule Wardrobe that I started last year, living with a select number of items in my closet and learning how to style them in numerous ways; upcycling and DIYing my own pieces to incorporate trends into my wardrobe; my journey to a more minimalist lifestyle, etc etc. So it will still be style & fashion based but with a lot more lifestyle related posts too. I guess it just an all round outlet for my own life and whatever takes my fancy. Expect more regular content, and in a few weeks/months I'm sure I'll get into the swing of things again. I really hope you guys stick with me on this and love this new venture even more than the last one. FashionFloorFillers isn't dead, it's just growing up.
To kickstart the New Year I thought I'd share some recent photos from my trip to Strandhill Beach in Sligo. My Mam, my sister and I took a drive up to Sligo over the Christmas holidays and although it was quite cold, being the 27th of December, it was really nice to unwind after the craziness of Christmas. Beaches are always such a tranquil place and are great for getting back in touch with yourself and with nature. We spent a few hours just walking along the beach and grabbed a bite to eat in Shell's Cafe (wrapped in blankets might I add). It was delish!!
Here's to an amazing 2017 guys.. Our best year yet! Whatever that goal is that you've been wanting to reach every other new year, now is your chance. Make it happen. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Dream. Love. Style. xx
