The Best Bits of 2014: Fashion & Food

Yesterday I posted my best bits from the world of music in 2014 and today I bring you the best of fashion and food from the year.

First up, fashion. Fashion is something, you probably have gathered by now, that I love. The fashion shows, the magazines shoots, the high street full of potential and styling up my own outfits, I love it all and I’ve always loved playing around with my outfits from a young age creating an outfit that little bit different. Here I’m going to round up my favourite buys, my favourite outfits and some brand love for 2014.

Favourite Clothing Purchases: White Lace Dress from eBay, Tropical Print Playsuit from New Look, Navy Studded Dress from New Look, White Shirt from Urban Outfitters, Mustard Jumper from H&M, Tiger Face Leggings from Drop Dead Clothing, Monochrome Dogtooth Jacket from New Look.

While food is another love of mine, good food is what I look for when eating out, healthy vegetarian food with the odd unhealthy indulgence thrown in now and again too. There is so much to celebrate food wise in Sheffield and though I think I’ve made good progress discoveries wise this year, there is still plenty more for me to check out in the city. Here I round up the best restaurants, the best meals, the best ingredients and the best discoveries.
