Starting to bullet journal
February 13, 2019
Bullet journalling has been around for a while, but to be honest, I didn’t particularly feel I had a need for it. Until now…
I still haven’t worked out who I want to be or what I want to do when I grow up, so on this blog please join me while I try and work it out while keeping child-like creativity alive! Find home and fashion inspiration; travel and days out; photography, writing and more. Have fun looking around 🙂

Styling my new cute Joe Browns winter coat
February 8, 2019
You need a different coat for different occasions and different types of outfit don’t you? You do, don’t you?! So I refuse to feel guilty about the fact that I have purchased THREE new coats this winter!!
A photography trip to Wistman’s Wood, Dartmoor, Devon
February 5, 2019
Chris bought himself a new lens recently, and his place of choice to try it out for the first time was a photography trip to Wistman’s Wood in Dartmoor. Full of myth and legend and being the place of many a fairy sighting, I was pretty keen to go as well…
Welcome to the new When I Grow Up blog design!
February 1, 2019
Ok, so the eagle eyed regular readers probably noticed that this actually happened in the middle of December, but it was too busy a time of year for me to fanfare about it then! I didn’t think it should pass us by being completely ignored though, so here it is; my new blog design!
Visiting Kaaterskill Falls, New York, in winter
January 30, 2019
This time last year Chris and I were staying in Connecticut for the month and spending our weekends going exploring. When all the snow had melted where we were, we went in search of more in upstate New York!
Choosing your word of the year for 2019
January 25, 2019
It’s becoming quite popular – or at least, I’m hearing about it quite a lot – to choose a word of the year to guide you; often instead of making New Year’s resolutions.

How to style Lagenlook clothing
January 18, 2019
Winter is the perfect time of year to experiment with Lagenlook, as in this weather, layering is what we have to do anyway! For this outfit I wore a loose-fitting long-sleeved top underneath, then a pinafore type dress and then a waterfall cardigan.

January 9, 2019
Happy New Year! I cannot believe we are welcoming in a new year already! Anyway, it’s time for me to sit down with my blogging notebook and make some plans for 2019. A little bit of your help would be really appreciated 🙂

If you don’t love yourself, don’t panic! My problem with “inspirational” quotes & musings on self-esteem
December 20, 2018
I don’t often use this blog as a platform for a rant, but I’m going to on this occasion! There was one particular so-called “inspirational” quote that really got me riled up enough to write about it. This is what it said: “If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you?”

A 1970’s Vintage-style dress
December 11, 2018
I’ll be honest, I totally forgot about this photo-shoot we did back at the end of summer! What with our month in America and week in the Canary Islands, I’m afraid I’m a bit all over the place! I bought this ditsy floral dress from Zara back in the January sales and I’d been saving it for autumn as the colours and pattern are just perfect….

Choosing a word of the year for 2019
January 25, 2019
If you would like a pyrographed sign, please e-mail me your word of the year and address. I'll send you a paypal invoice for £4.80 to include postage (UK only). The wooden heart sign measures 6.5 x 7cm . I'll send a random colour ribbon or strip of fabric for hanging unless you let me know if there's a particular colour you would like!
I did this last year and found it really helpful, so I thought I'd tell you about choosing a word to guide you through the year. Please subscribe for more videos :) Gift shop: Etsy.com/shop/byHelenHobden Keep in touch! (Links about me and my blog:)
