Monochrome is the one of the most sensible outfits you can rock right? Whether it's casual with a Nike crop top and swooshy maxi, or full-blown Sandy from Grease after her makeover. (sassy swinging ponytail not sold separately.)
But we've all been here long enough to know that this monochrome madness doesn't last for long, so it wasn't long until I started looking like something out of a Fleetwood Mac pastel-coloured tribute band.
And from the ultimate Rock goddess Stevie Nicks to my own low-key impersonation of a rock chick. Silky pyjama top tied up and tight disco pants zipped up, and you're ready to head to any gig with a sticky floor spilled with beer.
And let's face it, I'm never far from a pair of dungarees. From one musical icon to another, glittery pink boots and a fedora hat will give you some strong Dolly Parton vibes (and that ain't no bad thing.)
Shimmering, mermaid looks can also be tied up nicely with a criss-cross across the top or the sandals.
Now Spring is on it's way as well, there's no way this girl can avoid a touch of double denim, cus you know, I live in a nostalgic 90s haze.
So 90s in fact that a day hardly goes by without me rocking a slogan top. Cheers for having my back CK and Fila.
With all this fluctuating Spring sunshine and showers, the bomber jacket is my go-to item. And with it, I am completely 100% ready for my audition as Ryan Gosling in Drive.
1.) This month, it's finally felt that Spring has well and truly sprung. Like actual birds chirping, still light when you leave work, warmth on your skin...SPRING! And I've celebrated with classes of champagne in the countryside and singing along to said cheerful birds like I'm an animated Disney princess.
2.) All these antics have been captured on Snapchat as well. I've been well into Snapchat since day 1 way back when I was still in uni, but it went off my radar for a bit. But now with filters galore, my Snapchat story gets updated more regularly than a daily vlogger's YouTube channel. Add me babes, you can find me over at Amylo92 - see ya thereeee
3.) And there's plenty to be Snapchatting about when there's trips to country manor houses in the sunshine with champagne to be had. I kinda have my own little routine and bubble in London, so I kinda forget there's so much that I haven't ventured out there and seen. Like, who would've thought that just down the Northern line, is this little slice of paradise?
4.) I'm not one for change and in the past haven't been great at pushing myself out of my comfort zone. This year I've been really trying to do that more though - trying new fitness classes, going to more events when offered. I'm just trying to say 'yes' to more things, even when I'm initially not that excited or sure about it, and my life's been a lot more fun and varied due to it!
5.) For someone who's least favourite Spice Girl back in the day was Sporty Spice, I've certainly been taking a lot of inspiration from Mel of late. Oh, how wrong my young self's Spice Girls judgement was. Boxing gloves, Adidas stripes and Nike Air Maxes. Who says style and comfort don't go hand in hand?
6.) Guys. It finally happened. After years or wishing and waiting, I finally got to see my queen, the goddess that is Adele, sing live. It was everything I thought it would be and more - I laughed, I (nearly) cried, I lost my voice and my mind. And she's not the only music I've been indulging in - I've been venturing into the world of modern choirs at Southbank, and I got to go to a Sofar Sounds in Dalston. If you're into discovering new music and artists, get signing up to Sofar Sounds - it's intimate, personal and make you fall in love with music all over again.
7.) This back end of this month has been a bit of a funny one. I've just not really felt like myself, and it's not because I'm ill. I've been unmotivated about life in general and don't really know what's up with me, and that stresses me out more that I can't pinpoint it. And as someone who's a constant optimist, I didn't quite know how to deal with it. But as I knew I would, I'm out at the woods on the other side now and back to my usual Powerpuff Girls-esque self. So no matter how bad things, it'll always work out in the end my loves.
5 tweets...
1.) Put an emoji in an email & my boss asked if I could only communicate via emojis from now - you don't know how much I want and can do that
2.) HOW have I just discovered Poutine?! It's chips, and cheese, and gravy...THAT'S ALL MY FAVE THINGS
3.) No Facebook, I don't want to be friends with my ex's new girlfriend, so please don't suggest I add her as one.. Thanks. Sincerely, Amy
4.) Excited to get home tonight because I'm going to ice some puns on some buns. Yup. That's the life I lead kids
5.) My flatmate the other day asked if I'd watched Mean Girls recently because I'd been quoting it a lot. Nop. That's just how I roll hun
3 songs...
This little blank space used to be saved for 3 babein' outfits that I'd been reppin', but with a monthly rundown of my #OOTDs and general dressing up, it seemed a bit reptitive. And since I have a bit of a tendancy to get obsessed with songs and listening to them on repeat non stop, I've swapped this bit over for the earworms that have been invading my life recently.
1.) Troye Sivan - Youth
I remember watching this lil' munchkins vlogs years ago on YouTube, and now, he's got a full blown album and performing all over the world. I've had his album since I've been released and this song been out for a bit, but recently, I just can't get enough of it's drop and it's lyrics that make me want to sack everything in and run away into the sunset.
2.) Meghan Trainor - No
Yes, the lyrics are...quetionable. But this is dripping in 2002 vibes a la Britney Spears. So when Meghan says no, she actaully means 'YES THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE JAM AND YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SHAKE YOUR BUTT'
3.) Ariana Grande - Be Alright
If you're having a bit of a shit time of late like I was, take it from the sassy babe that is Ariana and know that everything will be alright.
There's been glimpses of sunshine throughout March - which makes me so unbelievably happy! - but Spring has still being a bit shy. But that doesn't mean I can't prepare with some shopping. Right?
Scandinavian vibes with embroidered flowers and festival perfect crochet.
Yellow's one of my favourite colours - it's just so goddamn happy. So come rain or shine, I'll be repping it.
(Although, maybe don't rain on this number please, cus it's made out of suede. Cheers. Much appreciated.)
Stripes and me have had an odd relationship. When I was an impressionable young lass, I honestly thought if horizontal stripes went anywhere near me, I'd gain half a stone. Obviously, that was all boo-hockey and you should wear what you goddamn want to wear. Now I'm inseparable with those lil chic buggers.
Along with some major bling in the necklace game, stripes seem to have this superpower to make me seem and feel instantly more mature and grown-up. Which is more than can be said about the rest of my wardrobe...
Hey - if it's impossible for me to be a mermaid, I'm gonna represent my inner-Ariel the only way I know how. Seashell style all the way babes.
Yep. Really got this 'dressing-like-an-adult' thing nailed. If wearing My Little Pony t-shirts with mis-matched printed skirt in this world is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
But what do you do when you have to face the world as an actual bonafide grown-up? Keep the fun on your feet. I own minimal pairs of plain socks. And I don't intend on that to change.
Or what about some snazzy shoes instead? I'm telling you, a book to get lost in, and some sparkly tootsies can do you the world of good if you're having a tough day. I like channel Kylie Minogue when wearing these.
Or yellow strappies make for just as equally happy feet (see, told ya: yellow = happy!) Especially when they're paired with a fuzzy Bambi-print skirt and a sunny orange top.
Clueless is one of my favourite films, so anything that looks like it came out of Cher Horowitz's wardrobe, is a A+ in my books. And that most definitely includes checked skirt complete with preppy vibes. Teamed with a trusty denim jacket and brown leather bag, it's the perfect combo to go hunting for treasures in vintage shops. A fashion pirate if you will.
And if you needed to up your Clueless stakes - and why wouldn't you - you can always get yourself a necklace that comes complete with all the letters of the alphabet so you can quote the film to your heart's content.
