musings of a twenty-something bilingual
{Now then stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!} 1 Samuel 12:16. So yesterday I headed back to my second home i.e. Lancaster for a job interview. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the interview, but I could not not talk about my… Continue reading fashion :: interviewee
{Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others.} Philippians 4:8 TLB. Whatever "it" may be to you, it's that time of the year again. The one I like to think of as Marmite you either… Continue reading life :: back to it
As the Autumn has practically descended, don a jacket of school proportions. Yes, that's me referring to the wardrobe staple: the blazer. Nothing is more polished and "smart" than a blazer, yet still screams that you have style. Think Coco Chanel and how she turned the menswear's key piece into the wardrobe necessity of a woman… Continue reading fashion :: blazed
It feels like ages since I've written a post, although it's only been two weeks. Have you ever felt like you're in a transition stage? Yet stuck...? Lost somewhere between the melee of "life". Well that's me right now. I've been trying to fight the feeling, and in doing so I have found myself being… Continue reading life :: melee
Hey all, hope you're enjoying your summer - and I hope you enjoy this verging on deep and soppy and emotional post. In all honesty, the following are just snippets of bigger things to be said but I want to cover them here anyway. FAMILY "You Go Girl" has been a phrase that has always… Continue reading life :: you go girl
While I'm "working on posts" (i.e my brain won't configure to write something coherent), I thought I'd put together a little post. As I'm sure many of you are aware, Pinterest is perhaps the best source of inspiration. Particularly motivational quotes. I get that obsessed reading words of truth that I both pin them and… Continue reading life :: mass
I don't think I could be more excited for my second year of university. For me, with a fresh sense of purpose and more clarity, I am going to go back looking at the year expectantly. As it is for most, first year is like a constant rollercoaster. There are many ups, but the downs… Continue reading life :: second homecoming
I am always lacking in purely beauty posts, and as much as I enjoy makeup, it's not the same for me as it is with clothes. However, as I am on holiday, and I have time to kill while my family are dozing, I thought I'd put one together. FACE For topical usage, Forever's Aloe… Continue reading beauty :: summer loves
After reading "Can we talk about...Gucci", I feel as if I have connected with Claudia Winkleman on a level I never would have expected. I want to be that "44 year old..." who writes like that about a designer brand. Maybe it's merely the wannabe journalist, the over-analytical, ex-English Language student in me, but ahhhhh. I… Continue reading fashion :: dazzled in effort
PART 1 28/06/16 It is now Thursday and I felt it time to reflect on our days so far. Tenerife is so much more than I ever expected. Yes, so it's just one of those islands commonly inhabited by Englishman during the summer months, but it's also tropical, platano-infested and mountainous. Maybe I am just… Continue reading summer :: big blue
