Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Bershka mini shopping Haul

Bershka was first introduced to me by my good friend Muki. She always bought cute items of clothing and jewellery from them. When she told me about them I immediately went onto their website and bought a nice pair of pumps. Since then I have bought a couple of items here and there but nothing for the last few years.

Whilst in Milan last weekend waiting on our train to Amandelo, we popped into Bershka and did some browsing. Since I don’t have a bershka close to me I couldn’t miss this opportunity. Though the ££ wasn’t at its strongest I was still able to pick up a couple of items.

Bershka mini shopping Haul

 

Cardigan ~ £24

If there is one thing I love wearing during Autumn and Winter months is a cardigan. During Autumn in most instances you can get away with a new cardigan. In Winter I prefer to have it under my jacket or coat when going to work and just the cardigan when at work. I love being warm all the time every time and around this time of year cardigans are perfect. This cardigan is definitely warm and stylish, I am definitely in cardigan heaven.

Long T-shirt: Not from Paris Madam ~ £9.99

Love the long t-shirt, not only is it in my favourite colour the words in print are funny. The words read ‘Not from Paris’ on the front and on the right sleep it says ‘Madam’ now try read that in French accent. The T-shirt has slits on each side which are starting from just under my waist, I am 5’7 in height. The T-shirt is light but weirdly warm enough too, obviously won’t be walking outside with it. It is see-through and really soft, I picked a medium size which first perfectly.

Hop & Bead Necklace (for me) ~ £3.99

It is silly for me to do any sort of clothes shopping without picking up some jewellery. I was recently sent a Silver heart necklace which I absolutely love but I still wanted more. So when I saw this simple but cute and unique necklace I just had to buy it.

Letter necklace (gift) ~ £4.99

They say when you find something that you really love give it to someone to show them you love them. I did that with this letter necklace, Berskha definitely have me on this. Love at first sight doesn’t even cover it, I was coveting it so much that I bought it and realised it’s what I should gift my friend. She loved it and spelt her name immediately after we arrived back to the hotel.

And there you have it, my mini Bershka Haul from Milan. Do you ever shop in Bershka? What’s your favourite item you’ve bought from them?
