musings of a twenty-something bilingual
We have all seen a skinny model in a magazine. Even if you yourself are not reading one, it's hard not to pass one on the front cover as you make your way through a supermarket aisle. In France, this is all about to change. To stop the use of "excessively thin" models, the French… Continue reading fashion :: all hail the healthy
It's a new year people. No more lazying around, it is time to make it count 👊🏼. I was blessed with a wonderful 2015. Indeed there were some dark times in my silly little head, but I've learned to forgive myself for that. The saying "new year, new me" is super cheesy and overused, but… Continue reading life :: new beginning
I am always on the look out for jewellery that adds a little something to my outfit. For a long time I wore big earrings, particularly a pair of white roses, because they always suited the floral shirts I was (and still am) so obsessed with. And then I went through the statement necklace phase.… Continue reading fashion :: by invite only
Tonight was date night with the boyfriend. Date of choice: seventh Star Wars film. This decision sounds like it could have been one-sided but even as a complete roll-of-the-eyes Star Wars "is a bit stupid" non-fan i.e newbie, I wanted to see it. Of course I was made (in the politest of "watch this before… Continue reading life :: the force awakens
A perhaps unaffordable early Christmas present to myself was an iPhone 6S (rose gold of course). So then I needed a new phone case. I just love the Skinnydip London ones - for my 5C I had a dinosaur one, however I'm not really big on all this unicorn stuff even if they are really… Continue reading fashion :: skinnydip lip

The night before I have my haircut is dilemma-ridden. I leave everything to the last minute, but this is one decision that can change within seconds, that can be altered by persuasion, suggestion and ultimately, flattery. Pinterest is my go to for haircut/style inspiration, I practically rely on it to give me want I want.… Continue reading hair :: to be blunt or not to be blunt
During a moment of boredom, I did an online clothes shop. I really should find an alternative way (that ultimately does not cost nada) to entertain myself. But I was too tempted. All the thoughts of "what will I wear" haunt me at this time of year. Actually, make that every day of every year.… Continue reading fashion :: scarlet fever
