One Month On

So...... It's been one whole month now since I transitioned all my accounts to the new name of UKStyleChicky and I'm amazed at how many followers have joined me on Instagram already - over 400 fellow fashionistas 😻

This week I was feeling a little inspired by other postings I have seen on Instagram and I'm currently in love with flatlays.  I have tried a few flatlay pictures before, using mostly my accessories, but this time I was experimenting and I hope you like the result.



The magazine was the main focus of my inspiration.  I had also spoilt my home by buying a bunch of flowers from the local supermarket (£3 from Aldi - last of the big spenders, I know!!).  There was also a packet of Fondant Fancies lying around in the cupboard looking all unloved and unappreciated.  They were definitely very appreciated after their photo call.  

Any hints and tips on how to make a great flatlay photo using only an I-pad would be really appreciated.

So the only thing left for me now is to hope that summer arrives here in the UK soon.  It's the Spring Bank Holiday weekend here and it's been a chilly 12 Celcius (54F).  The forecast for the coming week doesn't look very inspiring.  When will I get to wear my sandals without my toes freezing off?  Place your bets here.

Until next time.

  1. LOVE the look of your new blog, dear Zoe!! Really sorry to hear that your weather in the UK hasn't been very spring-like yet...things are positively summery here in Vancouver!! You've certainly got a good eye for doing "flat-lays"...I'm always so focussed on outfit posts, they're something I haven't tried yet!! XOXO
