Blog Updates: Summer Is Over, Autumn Is Here, Where Have I Been

Hello Blog!

I have not said those two words for so long…In fact the last update on the blog was way back in June. That means I’ve not written a blog post almost all summer, over 3 months of no blogging.

This is so different to when I started, where I’d post at least once a day, sometimes more.

So what’s happened, and where is the blog going?

I’m talking blogging, social media, and what I got up to over the summer…

First off, the blog is going nowhere! I love having this blog, and in fact over the summer I migrated over to a brand new server.

This was a big move from a technical point of view, it’s the first time I’ve migrated my blog since I started, so over 15 years of things to move! It was bigger than that, moving various emails and other domains which is something I’ve not done a lot of.

But that’s all over and done, and now the blog is bigger and better than ever from a technological point of view.

So with that said, you can still expect to see more fashion, lifestyle, fragrances and more coming on the blog…In fact I have a few updates in the pipeline which are coming next week.

How Was Your Summer?

How was your summer? Mine was fairly quiet this year. It was great that we had a few mini heatwaves, and I took advantage of that by going to the beach a few times.

I went to Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and Cullercoats, the three beaches I usually go to.

From there I’ve been out in Newcastle a handful of times, went out in Durham too which is always a good time, and generally lived life.

I’ve watched a lot of series and TV shows, films too. I’ll be updated my binge worthy box sets post, since there’s a few new shows and some that’s made a return.

I just watched the first episode of the last ever series of Brassic, and it lived up to how good the previous series have been. I also got into the brand new Atomic on Sky Atlantic, which was a really good show.

Social Media

I have not been on the blog much, but I have still been around on social media. My platform of choice these days is Instagram, it’s just so easy to post, update things and more.

I’ve really got into making things like reels…They take such a long time to do and I’m no videographer, but it’s been a fun thing to do to create small videos and see how they do.

I’ve been trying to get into Threads, but since I pretty much abandoned Twitter years ago, it seems weird writing text on a social media platform….

What do I say, and who cares?

I’m definitely out of the swing of platforms like that where you pretty much just say what’s on your mind.

Or does everyone feel like that?

Blogging Has Changed

Does anyone even read blogs any more? Well yes they do!

In fact a lot of my older blog posts have been getting so much love, so I’ve been getting tens of thousands of visitors without updating the blog. Just people binging on my current content.

But with that said, a lot of people are more into more bitesize content rather than huge blog posts or long reads. Going forward, I’ll look into doing more of that.

Perhaps smaller takes on what’s going on in the fashion world, thoughts on the latest collections and drops, reviews of what’s cool, and more.

I already have tons of fashion guides and style tips, so will continue to update those, but maybe I don’t need to create any new ones from scratch.

Fashion

I picked up a couple of pieces of clothing over the summer. I got an Ice Cream T-Shirt which was so cheap it was too good to pass up. The BBC/Ice Cream brand isn’t what it used to be, but it was such a good deal I had to grab one.

I got another Calvin Klein CK T-shirt, and I’ll feature both of these in up coming blog posts.

We’re into the Autumn fashion season now though, so I’ll be planning on featuring more autumn style pieces rather than tees.

So there we have it, summer is gone without me talking about it on the blog, and we’re well into Autumn now.

I’m looking forward to getting back into blogging, and of course you can find me on social media too, Instagram is probably the easiest.

October is almost here, 2026 is around the corner…Where has this year gone!
