Okay, so by now you must know what day is readily approaching. Blue Monday. In case you are unaware, Blue Monday is calculated to be the most depressing day of the year and is always sometime in the middle of January. This is due to a number of factors including Christmas being over, New Year’s resolutions have failed and it's miserable and cold outside.

But fear not, here are my top tips to beat the blues:

1. Pamper yourself.
Make you feel good both inside and out with a good girly pamper day.If you are like me, a good pampering always cheers me up. Grab a magazine, put on face mask, play some music and take to the bath tub with a glass of wine. Nothing says depressing about a relaxing evening in.

2. Hit the gym.
Yes, this may not sound like the best idea initially, but it all pays off in the end. Going to the gym can feel like the most daunting thing, but working out relieves stress and makes you feel good after. Just think about that perfect bikini body you want.

3. Chocolate cake and movies.
I know what you are thinking; this definitely contradicts the last one. But sometimes chocolate cake and a good Romcom is what you need to make you feel happier. So find the perfect Romcom, Crazy Stupid Love is always a favourite for me (hello Ryan Gosling six pack), buy some chocolate cake and sit down with a group of friends and enjoy.

4. Take to online shopping.
If all else fails, online shopping always cheers me up. It's a New Year after all. What's that saying? 'New Year new you,' so why not start with a new wardrobe. Just don't look at your bank balance afterwards.

5. Get out the house.
Try taking yourself to somewhere you've never been before. For me there are 101 new places and events to discover in London every day, something is always going on. Get dressed in your favourite winter warmers and head out into the unknown, who knows you might just find a new favourite restaurant or event.

6. Spend it with friends.

Not all of us are lucky enough to have no commitments on Monday to spend the day chilling, I for one definitely don't. Whether for you it's school, university or work, surround yourself with those who will make you laugh until your stomach hurts. Nothing beats the blues of Monday like laughing. Its will make the day fly by.

These are just some of the things I know will beat the blues for me.

What are your plans for Monday?

Seeing as I have recently returned to sixth form for my final year before venturing into the big wide world. I thought I would do a little 'back to school' post.

At the moment I have had quite an obsession over the houndstooth print, which has recently grown on me very quickly. So it was agenising when it came to finding the perfect houndtooth skirt for the upcoming seasons! Have you had this much trouble? I scoured the shops in hope of finding that one perfect skirt that matches the vivid image created in your mind of how it will look on the hanger and on you. Luckily, I came across this New Look skirt and fell in love! I will say it again, I love this skirt! The shape and fit is perfect, as well as the notches to make it very accessible to move in. The houndstooth print, along with the mini skirt are trends set to take autumn and winter by storm! I think this purchase is very on trend and should definitely get a lot of wear! It is also going to help with the transition from summer to autumn.

So for today’s look I paired the houndstooth mini skirt with a plain black crop top. This is because the main focus of the outfit is aimed at the printed skirt. So by keeping everything else quite minimal, all the focus is directed towards your statement piece.

However, I accessorized this look by adding a silver chain necklace and several rings/midi rings. I further added a little colour in my nail polish and opted for darker lips to suit the autumn weather.

Crop Cami - Topshop
Mini Skirt - New Look
Nail Polish - Barry M
Rings- Miss Selfridge, H&M, River Island
Necklace- Dorothy Perkins

Overall, I feel this outfit has a certain ‘back to school’ vibe. Probably because in a sense it has quite a smart casual look going on. With the mini skirt and top, a blazer would certainly add to that vibe and create a perfect first day outfit.

I hope you have a lovely day and thank you for reading!
