Welcome Back ♡

Hi Weshy Wanderers, 

So I am not entirely sure where to begin if I am being honest.. my last blog post on this platform was the 31st March 2016 and I am now writing this entirely new and confused post at 2am on the 7th November 2018. As you can see it has been over 2 years since I last wrote or posted anything on this blog and for the life of me I can't think why I left it this long when I love writing, expressing emotions and sharing my content with whoever comes across this blog. I guess you could say life got in the way and things were thrown to the wayside.. 

I guess I should give a recap of what I've been up to since March 2016 :) 

March - July 2016

I completed my classes and found myself becoming single hence why the last video on my YouTube channel is of my Valentine's Day in 2016.. I continued to film content for my channel but never got round to editing or uploading it as I had lost that passion within me that I had held for so long when it came to uploading content on my channel and honestly that saddens me. The good news is I have filmed around 6-7 new videos for my channel that will be edited and uploaded over the upcoming 6 months so keep an eye out for those! The videos all surround travelling and the destinations that I visited over two years. 

July 2016 

I graduated from my Media and Communication course at Glasgow Caledonian University where I received an Upper Second class degree and celebrated with my friends and family what felt like the end of an era after four wonderful years. 

September 2016 - March 2017

I decided to work full time at the job I was already working at, waitressing at Rogano in Glasgow, and by doing so managed to save a substantial amount of money before quitting and moving back home to Belgium. 

March - September 2017

I moved back home to Brussels, Belgium and reconnected with old school friends and new acquaintances :) I also went travelling for 6 weeks all around America and visited 19 different States! I documented this voyage throughout my social media such as Snapchat and Instagram. I also visited Strasbourg (France), Milan (Italy), Berlin (Germany), Barcelona (Spain) and Norrköping (Sweden) and absolutely loved visiting all these completely unique and different landscapes that all have diverse things to offer! 

September 2017 - September 2018

I once again moved away from home, but this time back to Glasgow (Scotland) where I began my Postgraduate Master's degree; an MLitt in Film & Television Studies. It was a very intense year with a lot of new material to uncover and research but I greatly enjoyed it and made many new and interesting friends who all invigorated a passion in me to further my research and education in so many diverse fields I had never even heard of! 

September 2018

I wrote and submitted my dissertation which was 15,000 words long and critically analysed the MeToo movement as well as the Time's Up campaign and the influences these movements had had on American film throughout the past year which was truly eye opening and sparked such a debate throughout social media. It is so interesting and important to see the direction is has taken in the present tense and will continue to hopefully take throughout the coming years. 

November 2018 (Now)

I now find myself having completed two degrees, waiting to graduate, and entering the unknown world of 'job hunting'.. I'll be honest and state that I have spent the past two months applying for jobs and trying to make sense of what it is I am looking to gain from this life but at the moment I find myself a little lost in the sea of internships, entry level jobs, graduate opportunities and so on.. I guess that's why I'm sitting here at 2.20am having written this post, reminiscing past memories whilst my cat (Chipie) eats her biscuits next to me and my brother prepares a 'midnight' snack in the kitchen. Who knows where this journey will lead but the silver lining here is that I have found the little spark of imagination and passion that brewed within me and decided to press refresh on my blog and YouTube channel in order to move forward with this next phase in my life. Care to follow along with me? Let's do it :) 

I do hope these ramblings made sense but nevertheless, I certainly feel a little lighter having written this post and having shared the past two years of my life. Enjoy all the little moments!

My tired face a few weeks ago (just an update as to what I look like now :p) 

A Day in Las Vegas ♡

Hi Weshy Wanderers how are we doing? So today's post is going to be all about how I would transition my look throughout a day in Las Vegas! I have yet to mention this on my blog but I will be writing a post about how in the summertime this year I will be jetting off to New York to start my 5 week tour around America! One of the most amazing places that I will visit whilst I am there will of course be Vegas! I mean a trip to the grand old USA would not be complete without a night in the dazzling strip of Vegas now would it? Unfortunately, I will only be there for one night but fear not as I have compiled a list of looks that would (in my eyes) benefit someone when they only have one day and night to enjoy the sights Vegas has to offer! So let's jump right in! :) For this post I have partnered up with Vegas.com and given you my ultimate list :) Why not check them and their hotels out over here - Las Vegas Hotels? 

Now first off, let me just say I know I will never be able to fit in everything I would like to do in Vegas; like go to a show, have lunch out, do a tour(s), have dinner out, have a full on night out or even just visiting each different themed hotel, but once I am there I shall try to do most of it! So for the benefit of this post, let's say we're doing it all in the one go! 

HOTELS

I have already booked my stay in Vegas in the Luxor Las Vegas hotel but don't let that stop you from staying in some of the most famous hotels such as; Caesars Palace or the Aria Resort and Casino!

DAY TIME

So you've woken up and you open your curtains to a breathtaking view of Las Vegas so what do we have planned? How about some shopping and some bus tours? 

Whether you're more of a fashion fanatic or a sweet tooth, there is lots to offer in Vegas. The Wynn Esplanade ranges from Louis Vuitton to Ferrari! Whilst on the other hand, the huge M&M's World store is more than a delight to take a walk in! 

So now that we have our destinations planned what are we wearing? Well considering the temperature in Vegas during the summertime is pretty hot I would go for something light and airy but that doesn't compromise my style in any way :) So I have two choices here, both are very laid back. Some brown gladiators with denim shorts and a cute flowery top or a super cute co-ord that stays within the flower theme! I'm not a huge heels person so would never be able to imagine walking around for hours in them! 

TOURS

Now if you're thinking of taking in a little tour of the Vegas strip, why not try the Big Bus Tours they last 2 hours and you get to see Vegas on a double decker bus! Plus the price is pretty awesome, only $37! For this, I would probably get changed as I wouldn't want my outfit to get crumpled and it may be hot out, but the wind when driving along may cause a little shiver (I get cold very easily!). So for this I would pair shorts with a plain white top and a detailed kimono over it :) 

LUNCH

Now for lunch, we definitely need to dress this up a little, I would take a lovely stroll to the Aria and indulge in some light Thai lunch at Lemongrass! The first outfit is very basic but is brightly refreshed with some pastel pink accessories whilst the second outfit is very full on girlie with the pastel skirt and cute flowery crop top! I would probably not dress it up with accessories as I feel the shoes, outfit and bag do all the talking! 

SHOWS

A trip to Vegas would not be complete without taking in a show! So after out delicious Thai meal why not head on over to Luxor and witness the amazing Criss Angel! His show is only $71 and I'm sure it would be a guaranteed amazing spectacle! If that isn't your thing, then don't worry the amazing Britney Spears is also around at Axis Theatre over at Planet Hollywood doing her thing :) For this outfit I believe that comfort is important as shows do tend to go on for a while but then again this is Vegas so I'm sure a lot of styles would suit! Personally I would go with one of 2 choices; a cute crop top and skirt with some short heels and false lashes or some stunning culottes with a jewelled crop top!

DINNER

Now for the next major event of the night! Where to go for dinner? There are so many choices it would take over a year to be able to dine out everywhere! But here are my top 2; the Lago next to the Bellagio Fountains and  L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon over at MGM Grand. Why not ravish yourself with some delicious French cuisine whilst taking in your beautiful surroundings! 

For such a wonderful evening out, the attire must of course suit the atmosphere and surroundings so for this I would style myself with some very similar pastel outfits that are embellished and simple yet really do stand out! 

NIGHT OUT

Now that you have filled yourself up it's time to head home and get ready for the big ending to this wonderful day in Vegas! Time to hit the dance floor and get totally crazy with it! But where is best to go? Well I would definitely want to try out the Voodoo Rooftop at Rio Hotel and the amazing looking Foxtail Nightclub and the Pool at SLS Las Vegas Hotel! 

Seeing as we are in Vegas, the outfit needs to be on point and completely gorgeous! So I would wear either something very revealing and tight in order to show off that tan and all that working out at the gym or something more demure (yet far more eye catching!!) such as this exquisite sequinned dress with two shades of colour paired with some enormous black platforms and a small clutch! 

After all the excitement of the day, Vegas will be sure to leave you with a million more memories to forever hold on to :) As you may have noticed, this style transition from one to the next does include 6 outfit changes in total, but hey being in Las Vegas is as good a time as any to need that many changes! Enjoy what this amazing city has to offer and make the most of your time here! I hope you've enjoyed finding out how I would style myself during all these different activities!
