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!

Welcome to Melbourne!♡






Hi there wanderers, and before you say anything I know I have been very much missing from this blog and I promise you from now on that will not be the case anymore!

First of all I would like to say that I have officially arrived in Melbourne and am currently sat in my room having unpacked a couple of things! I am going to be staying in a hotel as of tomorrow for a couple nights of comfort and then I'll be right back here at RMIT Village :) I am so happy to finally be here and after 28 longggg hours of travelling I'm so relieved to finally have some chill time. 

My classes do not start until the 21st so until then I'll just be getting to know my way around and setting up lots of things like my bank account and internet! Also I'm starving at the minute so I think a trip to the shops is a must! (duh). There is also a gym here so I might go take a look around tomorrow and see what's happening but honestly I just can't tell you how exciting this all is! 

I will be here for six months to continue my Media and Communications studies and therefore my first semester as a 3rd year then I will be back in Scotland to finish my 3rd come the 27th of January. Sad times :(

My posts will soon be back to normal beauty and fashion posts but I just wanted to give you a quick update on my life at the moment as I currently only have 28 minutes left of free internet hihi :)

Anyway, I'll end this post here my loves and I'll see you all very soon! With some photo's of my surroundings :) 

I also have a cheeky new video coming out soon so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for it over on my channel :)

Forever Floral ♡



Hi there wanderers, and welcome to my latest obsession! Anything flower related :) Now I know this trend has been around for quite a while in the fashion world but I can't seem to get over it.. It just manages to make any outfit seem simple yet girly and effortless. I am particularly loving the floral shorts and shoes in the above picture! So much love ♡

Let me know what your thoughts are on the hopefully neverending trend of floral fashion :)! 

Also on a totally unrelated topic - everything that was needed to be organised for my 6 month study abroad to Melbourne (AHMAGAWD) has officially been finished! My visa, insurance, flights and accommodation are all booked and ready :) Now all I have to do is sit back, relax and wait for the 30th of June to roll on.

London Bound ♡

Hi there wanderers, again I have been totally MIA and have literally written no posts in over a week and for that I am deeply sorry! Between University, work and trying to get all my bits and pieces together I seem to have neglected my blog and all its lovely followers! 

I just wanted to share with you, very quickly, that in a couple of hours me and my boyfriend, Aaron, will be on our way to the magical city of London! I cannot tell you how much I love London; always have, always will! I used to go every year as a high school student as we'd always go and see a play that had to do with someone we were studying in class. We ended up going so often that pretty soon our trips to London via the Eurostar were more of a sure deal and we started going for three to four days at a time as we got older. We'd stay in hostels and we had the most ever! I haven't been to London in a couple of years now and my heart is growing more and more sad as stay away from this wondrous city. 

Hence why I can't wait to wake up tomorrow at 9.30am and open my eyes to see the beautiful sights that London brings! I won't be travelling the classiest of ways as I am taking the overnight bus but to be honest I'll be asleep anyway so why does it matter? Either way, I'm like an excited little puppy!

LONDON - I cannot wait to be in you! 

Also it's my boyfriends birthday today and he turned 20! yay my lovely little adult! I guess London is more of a treat for him as he's never even been, imagine that! I can't wait to share the sights with him :)
