I love creating fashion posts. It's something I love to do and something I love sharing with you. However, I don't like how I manage to create Mount Clothing after shooting clothes reels and posts. But that's a story for another day. But making fashion reels, as much as it's enjoyable, can come with its obstacles. There are some factors I take into consideration before creating any fashion reels and posts.
I've always said that I will create and post content that my audience can relate to, appreciate, and like to read or watch. For example, I would never create content about lawnmowers as I know (I think) most of my followers have zero interest in lawnmowers. Just FYI - I have no interest in lawnmowers. But you get what I mean. I always strive to create content I know my followers will be interested in, including fashion content.
As I've said, there are factors that I consider when creating fashion posts and reels.
Here are the factors that I consider when creating fashion reels and posts:
1) Lighting
If it's a dark cloudy day, I may as well pack my tripod away and try another day. Lighting is key for me when shooting fashion content. I want to ensure that the shade of clothes I'm wearing is reflected accurately on camera. I can't shoot a light blue suit on a dark day, the light shade of blue wouldn't show up properly on the photos, even after editing. For me, it's got to be a sunny day (not when the sun is shining through the window) or it's got to be slightly overcast.
2) Will you or I actually wear it?
When choosing outfits to wear for reels or blog posts, I ask myself two questions:
1) Is it something my followers would take inspo from?
2) Will I actually wear it myself?
If the answer is no to either or both of these questions, then the outfit idea takes a back burner and I'll try something else. When it comes to fashion content, I want to wear outfits that I know I'll wear as an everyday look or going out-out look. Also, I want to show outfits that you guys may take inspiration from or even try to wear something similar yourself.
3) Is it something my followers may have in their wardrobe already?
I promise you guys, I'm not going to start asking you what's in your wardrobe or go snooping around. But when it comes to creating outfits, I like to create outfits with items that may be in a lot of people's wardrobes such as black trousers or a blue shirt. I like my outfits to have a lot of versatility about them. Speaking of versatility...
4) Is it a versatile look?
I'm all for sustainability when it comes to buying clothes and creating outfits. It's a lot easier to have one piece that can be worn with different looks than one piece that can be worn with just 1-2 looks tops. For example, a black leather jacket is an item that can be worn with different outfits. A bright floral top can maybe only be worn with a pair of jeans and nice shoes. See where I'm coming from? I'd rather create versatile outfits, it gives my followers some ideas for different looks that suit their individual style.
These are the four factors I consider when creating fashion reels and posts!
I'd love to know your thoughts! Is there a particular piece of clothing that you would like me to write about or create outfits with? Let me know any ideas you have!
Besides the rom-coms, I do like to read the odd thriller book here and there. To change things up a bit from time to time. The last domestic thriller I read…

I've finished my first book of 2024! Well, I technically started this book the last month of 2023, but I finished it the January of this year. Anyhow, the book, Only Love Can Hurt Like This is the book I'm discussing today. This is the first book by Paige Toon I've read. I had heard some really good reviews about this book in particular, and I know that Paige has written some other really wonderful books, which I'm keen to read in the future.
So, what's this book about then?
As far as titles go, one can assume that this book will be a heartbreaker. Wren, an architect who lives in Bury St Edmund, is just getting over a breakup with her ex, Scott. After Scott falls in love with his work colleague Nadine, Wren decides to go to Indiana, where her father lives with his now wife, Sheryl. Wren has a stepsister, Bailey, a wedding planner who is also residing in Indiana. Wren and Bailey go out to a bar one night, which is where they meet brothers Jonas and Anders.
After a rocky start, Anders and Wren start to get along and get close. However, Anders lost his wife four years ago and is still not over her. However, Anders is harbouring a secret which will change everything. If he acts on any feelings he has for Wren, it will have serious repercussions. But it would hurt Wren if she walked away, but when she knows the truth, how can she possibly stay?
And no, I'm not going to tell you what the secret is! It's quite a sad one which had me torn as to what was for the best (if that makes any sense!)
Would I recommend Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paige Toon?
Oh, this book had me swooning, crying and melting in more ways than one. This is such a page-turner, a heartbreaking read in parts, I even got emotional in some chapters of the book. Anders' secret is an incredibly tough one to keep and it's self-explanatory to see why he can't move on from his wife. But Wren has changed his life and you can see how conflicted he is during the second half of the book in particular.
It's an incredibly moving book, I ended up rooting for Wren and Anders so much.
The other characters in the book are great. I absolutely loved Anders' brother, Jonas, such a great character and I loved Anders' protectiveness over his brother. I loved Wren's stepsister Bailey and how her and Wren's sisterly love developed throughout the book. It's also great to see how Wren's relationship with her stepmom grows the longer she stays in Indiana.
The ending was satisfying and I'm glad it ended the way it did and that Anders gets some closure.
I'd love to know your thoughts on Only Love Can Hurt Like This!
