Hi! I’m Harley :) A northern gal who’s been living down in Brighton for the past five years, I’m currently working in an independent clothing store & dabbling in content creation. Things I love a lot include shoes (I have way too many), chinese food (specifically anything in black bean sauce), iced oat latte’s all year round and watching Real Housewives on the sofa (preferably Beverly Hills). I’ve been writing my own newsletter ‘WTF is going on?’ for a whole year now, and this is my first guest feature on anyone else’s Substack so thank you endlessly to Joss for inviting me round! ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
there she is!!
this is the online bit:

Chloe is one of my new favourite people to follow on TikTok for day to day outfit inspiration, I love everything she puts together. I find it super refreshing seeing how she utilises her wardrobe and repeats items in different combinations, showing that outfit repeating is OK!! Something we tend to forget due to how much overconsumption we see every day online.
Quinn is an audio porn/erotica app founded & run by women, focusing on women’s pleasure and desires. Mostly anonymous voice actors upload audios on Tuesdays and Fridays, and everything is approved by the Quinn team before upload. Meaning all audio's feature consent (sexy!) And explore kinks safely. Due to being on antidepressants I’ve struggled a lot the past two years with low libido, and doctors don’t seem to offer any actual advice. It’s either be slightly less depressed & not horny at all, or just stop taking them and be depressed but raring to go!!
If this sounds all too familiar to you… then I highly recommend trying out Quinn, it’s an ethical alternative to the typical male-gaze exploitative porn we’re too used to seeing. Plus - it’s hot AF!! It sparks your imagination and reminds you of how fun and empowering sex can be. I’ve been telling basically everyone I know to subscribe, one of the best ways you could spend £5 a month.
This is one for my Gossip Girl gals, Kelly Rutherford truly is Lily Van Der Woodsen IRL!!! Queen of quiet luxury and iconic mirror selfies. Following her brings such joy to my feed, I love seeing all of her outfits and her sausage dogs when they make a rare appearance.
this is the irl bit:
Reheating leftover pizza in the oven
Eating leftover pizza is something you’ve probably done since you could eat solid foods, not that I have any idea how old you are when you no longer have to solely eat mush? Maybe like six months? So for me I’ve been eating leftover pizza for about 25 years.
For my whole life I’ve been testing all the various different recommended reheating methods - microwave, steaming it in a pan, frying it (?) or just giving up and eating it cold. Tell me why I’ve only started re-heating it in the oven recently? Nothing can compare. 10 minutes at 180 - changes the game completely. Eating some while I type this! See picture below for results ft incredible Beyond Meat Pepperoni that has truly changed everything !!
elite way to reheat
Furry friends for your Plasticana clogs
Anyone and everyone you know IRL or follow on Insta seems to be rocking the plasticana gardening clogs, and who am I to deny myself an inexpensive, plastic and slightly ugly shoe? However I have just upgraded mine to winter mode by buying some furry sheepskin insoles, perfect for the insanely cold weather that’s become the bane of our lives recently!
Granny Pants
At the ripe old age of 25 (and a half) I have succumbed to the fact that thongs are just no longer for me and granny pants are the only option from here on out. Specifically the 5 pack of black ones from Tesco, that go right up to your belly button and cover your whole bum. Bridget Jones was mocked for her giant pants but I think she had the right idea - my days of sacrificing comfort for sexiness are well and truly over.
