Job Searching...

I promised to post more about my life in general...so this is the beginning.

Job searching is a massive part of my life right now as I search for a career for myself, it is still a lot harder than I ever thought it would be even though I have a degree. I suppose I haven't helped myself by choosing hard career paths within publishing, marketing, advertising and PR.

I know this seems like such a rubbish post today however, it is what is happening in my life.

If anyone has any handy tips on how to begin a career in any of my chosen fields I would love to hear about it!

Backkkkk :) | Here's a new intro

Hello there lovelies!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am now back up and running after finding myself a new laptop :) (what makes it even better is I managed to get a purple laptop, it was obviously meant to be!)

I am hoping to start writing more about my journey through life and not just the usual of fashion, beauty and travel. 

So starting from now I am going to tell you a little bit more about myself.


So this is me, and I am Megan. As you can see I have a mass of curly hair, thus, the blog name of crazy and curly :) I finished my final year of University this time last year (boo :( this makes me very sad). I enjoyed every second of the experience and the friends and now family I gained from my time at Chester :) Although I am currently living in the Midlands I am hoping to begin the rest of my life in the North :) (York is definitely somewhere I could see my partner and I living)! However, I have big dreams of living in America at some point in my life.

Speaking of dreams, I do have big and sometimes I think impossible dreams, including the wish of living in America. Another dream I have is to have a career in Marketing, Advertising or PR. I would of course love to work in these divisions within fashion (so as I say these dreams do seem impossible).

So there is a little bit about me, if there is anything else you guys want to know I would love to find out!

Another announcement I would like to make is that my little blog reached 50 followers yesterday and although it is a small achievement it is one I am extremely proud of!

Love xx

Quiet Time

Hi all,

I am going to have to apologise however, my laptop has broken so my posts are going to become infrequent again as I dislike using the app on my phone as my pictures akways end up different sizes and it just looks horrid! I am hoping to get my laptop fixed soon!

Hoping to be back again soon!

Impulse Buys | Haul

It is very rare for me to do outfit posts as I do not feel that my photographs ever do the clothes any justice. So I have decided a better way for me to show you the clothes I love and that I buy for myself would be a little different to others :) Of course fashion is an important part of my life, not only because I work in retail but because I would love to end up in a marketing firm dedicated for fashion lines!


This top is my most recent purchase and it is also a little daring for me! It is extremely rare for me to buy such bright colours but I felt I needed to get out of my comfort zone for summer, and I am definitely glad I did :) This top is from Dorothy Perkins at £22. It can be found here.


I fell in love with this bag immediately! I just knew I had to have it, I have been looking for a satchel for quite some time and hadn't found the right one for me, but this pastel blue from Topshop was exactly what I was looking for! A similar one can be found here at £28.


Another purchase from Dorothy Perkins was this blue lace top, once again I fell in love with the pastel colours (definitely a trend I am loving this season). It can be found here for £14.


I bought these boots from Miss Selfridge as a replacement for my old Topshop boots (which I had worn out completely, however I did not like the feel of the newer chelsea boot that topshop had brought out as it felt tighter and not as comfy). I like the style on these boots as they are different to any other pair I own (I'm a sucker for boots, I'm definitely an autumn/winter shoe girl). Unfortunately these boots are no longer on the website, however I have seen them in some stores still and I paid £39.

Yet another Miss Selfridge purchase (I am an Arcadia girl through and through). Check/Tartan is definitely another trend I am fond of, these leggings were so comfy I couldn't resist! They can be found here at £25.



And last but not least three items I definitely love! The shoes are a nod at the tartan trend again. They can be found here at £20. And the pastel shade nail varnishes from MUA are lovely, although need at least 2 coats.

Hope you like them all!

Travel Wishlist! | Part 2


So here is the next installment to travel wishlist. I thought I would continue my wish of travelling around America, therefore, today's post is all about my dream of visiting New York City! (For years I have said that I will find a job and move there someday)

There are so many reasons why I have wanted to visit New York (some of them being TV shows of course, examples being Sex and the City and Gossip Girl, I mean who doesn't love the way the shows make it look). Other reasons include friends of mine going there for holidays and telling me just how amazing it is, so of course I want to know this for myself :)

Not only is there amazing shopping to be done whilst in New York, there are just so many things I'd like to do! Seeing a show on Broadway would be absolutely amazing! Of course going to the top of the Empire State Building and going to the Statue of Liberty. These are just a few things that I would want to do :)



If any of you have any stories about visiting New York I would love to hear them!! I could definitely use recommendations from people :)
