musings of a twenty-something bilingual
The usual: *I am not nor intend to look like a model* disclaimer. Saturday night will go down as one of my favourite nights of music so far. Let me fill you in... Part II of my birthday present was seeing Joe Bonamassa in Preston; I couldn't have asked for a cooler present. Although, truth be… Continue reading music :: joe bonamassa
Two weeks ago today, I was strolling up Mosley St. in Manchester, heading to the Northern Quarter. As I passed Manchester Art Gallery, I spotted something that made my heart leap. THE VOGUE 100 EXHIBITION WAS COMING TO MANCHESTER. With my day made, I headed into the art gallery to have a general look around… Continue reading fashion :: vogue 100
So, on Wednesday I turned the grand old age of 19. I feel so much joy and gladness of starting a new year of my life afresh. My eighteenth year was a tough one but it feels so good to have let go of it. Recently I've felt a change in myself that I can't… Continue reading life :: birthday girl

And stuffing my face with chocolate raisins. And I should be revising, or… Continue reading life :: achievement

There is just something about their clothes which are much more fashion forward, on a par with your high street stores like Topshop and Zara. It would be mega crazy… Continue reading fashion :: the ASOS nineties
Wednesday was super lovely, could not have asked for a better day! The latter half I spent trundling around town, as I do quite a lot of the time, exploring. After a fair bit of window shopping, I impulsively stepped into the charity shop Barnardo's on Penny Street, Lancaster. As soon I was in there, my… Continue reading fashion :: barnardo’s bonanza
*Soundtrack for this post is Pink by Aerosmith* Have you ever had that moment where you're like, I need a change. I'm at that point. It's crazy time in terms of the academic year, deadline after deadline, exam after exam. But despite all of this, my June is set to be possibly the best month… Continue reading hair :: flamingo
