16 Unmissable Reads, The Best of the Blogosphere (January 2018)

In my Best of the Blogosphere this month I have beating the January blues, Golden Globes-inspired outfits, the importance of staying young (without being old) and more!

(In case you’ve not seen these posts before my Unmissable Reads are a monthly round-up of things I’ve seen, watched and liked in the blogosphere that I’m sure you’ll love too.)

A week earlier this month as I’m scheduling this in advance (I’m either at home recuperating after my operation or I’m stuck in hospital for a few days as the keyhole surgery turned to major surgery, I’m writing this the weekend before and we don’t know which way it’ll go) – it was a post I had mostly written up as December’s Best of the Blogosphere was early too. Back to the fourth Wednesday of the month from next month!

On Friday I’ll write about the operation and how it went, so many of you have been asking me to keep you updated (which is so lovely and I thank you).

Do have a read of these great links – you never know who or what you might discover that makes your day/week/month!

Why it’s SO important to stay young and how to do it without being “old”.

The most eye-watering beautiful rainbow-bright sequin midi skirt.

“If you don’t like what someone says or does then don’t do anything other than strive to be better than that.” It’s heartening to know people DO learn from their mistakes after being involved in a Twitter drama.

For some of the most stylishly creative outfits that are TOTALLY wearable, check out Carelia’s 2017 amazing outfit round up.

It may be flexible and truly empowering, but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming – Vicki explains how to handle working online (without sacrificing your sanity or health).

I love velvet and I love kimonos, so Annette in a sumptuous velvet kimono is a sight for sore eyes.

Michelle is greeting the New Year without regrets, and so should we.

“My word for 2018 might be BELIEVE”. If you’re thinking of making a career change or going back to your studies in your 40s or later, it’s never too late to believe you can do it – and then do it.

This is EXACTLY the kind of outfit I want to be wearing all winter long: layers upon layers of stunning red, pink, orange and brown.

If John Hughes were making Pretty in Pink now in 2018, this rock n roll boho look is just what the costume designer would be dressing Molly Ringwald in.

A few simple, but wonderful, ways to beat the January blues.

Easy peasy DIY tassel earrings? Yes please.

Keit was a super crazy creative blogger who I thought had stopped blogging, but she’s back and rocking a transparent raincoat and pink glitter dress. I heart.
