Who is Lockett's Pockets?

So I've been running this blog for a few months now and I have to say I never expected such a positive reaction and so many good things to come of it. Truth be told, blogging saved me and for that I am truly grateful for every page view, comment or instagram like. So I thought it was time to share who I really am, to give a more personal touch to this blog.

I'm 20, almost 21 and about to start my final year of study at Lancaster University. I study IT for Creative Industries (oh a girl doing Computer Science, shock horror) and have dreams to work in media or become a primary school teacher.

I'm originally from Wigan, and no I don't support Wigan Athletic and no I don't like pies or Uncle Joe's Mintballs.

As well as being a fashion blogger, I'm also a part time cyclist, which I hope to pursue more once I finish my degree.

I currently work part time in social media, which also benefits my degree which will hopefully improve my job prospects in later life.

I have a younger sister, who's just begun study at Glasgow School of Art and is vastly smarter than me in anyway, but I got the beauty so... jokes.

I'm 5"2, and quite often regarded to as an angry Jack Russell due to my quick temper, and I am one of the most emotional people you will ever meet in your life.

I have 9 piercings, and dreams to get a tiny heart tattoo which I will keep you guys posted on.

I'm also know for my rapid changing of hair colour, all my ID's are incorrect but maybe now I'm blonde I'll stick to it.

I don't do colourful clothes (but you guys know that already) and have a distaste for dresses.

So there's a little more information about what makes me me, hope you guys enjoyed learning a bit more about my life and apologises for the lack of outfit posts this week, I have just moved back to my university house so will be back with a bang from tomorrow fingers crossed!

Mellow Monday #5

So another Monday has rolled its way round and it falls in the middle of London Fashion Week, an event I wish I was at but am going to try my damnedest to get there next year!

So what's keeping me happy this week?

- My baby sister started her degree at Glasgow School of Art. My sister is the biggest inspiration to me, constantly fighting everything life throws at her and I am so unbelievably proud to call her my sister. Remember me when you're receiving your Turner Prize!

- I reached 2000 page views yesterday, which may be a tiny number to most but its amazing to me! I'm so glad I decided to start a fashion blog, all my friends have been so supportive and I'm so excited to go back to university where I have many different photographers awaiting me!

- I passed* my resits and got back into 3rd year! I struggle with exams and do a very hard degree in Computer Science, so every year I end up doing resits. It doesn't bother me anymore, as everything in life is just a test to prove how strong you are and I've beaten this test again! 

- I started training at my new job this week, which I'm both scared and excited to begin as it means I can keep spending stupid amounts of money on clothes woo!

- Lastly, I am happy and I am healthy and I'm glad my summer dealt me a dud card because I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for the things that happen. I am stronger and better for everything that happened this summer and although it wasn't a fun time, I made it to the other side.

*passed is debatable but we'll keep that between us ;)

Undercut Inspiration

I pieced together some images I used to decide whether or not to shave an undercut into my hair. Spoiler, I did. 

What do you think of undercuts?

Mellow Monday #3

As you will be aware, I'm currently away on jolly's but I was prepared and have become Mellow on the Friday before instead!

This week was truly a massive turning point for me. Suddenly everything seems to be going Elena's way and after this less than pleasant summer, I'm welcoming it with open arms.

- I've been offered a new job at the media company I work, working on LiveHelp which none of you will understand but yolo. I have a massive spending problem so any extra money is gratefully received and I really love the company I work for so I'm super happy right now!

- I'm going back to my old ways, when I return from Jersey I should be a white blonde gal once again. Many hours sat on Instagram lusting over white blonde hairstyles has pushed me to the tipping point. Sorry Mum! 

- When this post goes live, I will have attended my first ever festival, Jersey Live and I'm hopeful it will be amazing as I hope it will!

- I'm a very emotional person, and this week I finally gave in and voiced my true feelings and let me tell you, it's truly the best decision I've made in a long time. Although things don't go the way we want usually, you have to be honest and only good things will hopefully come from this honesty.

- Lastly, I finally bought my perfect winter boots! To be revealed either through Instagram and on the blawg upon my return... I know, the suspense, it's too much...

I'm currently away on holiday but will reply to all comments on my return.
