2015 for Lockett's Pockets

I know the time has kind of passed for new year new me posts but as I have just got back into blogging I thought I'd still throw my reflection of the year out there.

In 2014 I learned a hell of a lot. That people surprise you, that opportunities come to you when you least expect it and life isn't fair. But 2014 made me better and now 2015 is going to be one of the best years of my life.

I would not be the person I am today without the struggles I've met, and I wouldn't ever ask to change a thing. I'm extremely blessed right now, surrounded by some truly amazing people who I appreciate constantly, with better things to come. Blogging is such an amazing part of my life and I'm so happy to be back, after my brief break to sort out my arm and general health out and I hope this year to make Lockett's Pockets even stronger, and hey maybe even make it to London Fashion Week!

Thank you to everyone who viewed my posts, liked my Instagram photos, read my tweets and generally cared about me and my blog, it would be impossible to do this without you all.

Here's to 2015, being better, smarter and always seeing the good in everyone and everything.

& hopefully buying a pug!

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 #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.
