musings of a twenty-something bilingual
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
Within what you can deem as "holiday planning" is our annual meal out. It has almost, if not definitely, become a pre-holiday ritual. As we always venture off around the date of my Gran's birthday, it's both a birthday celebration and a farewell (for 2 weeks). This year we chose the King Bill, a local… Continue reading summer :: holiday prep
Last night we were invited, as a family, to the wedding reception of our neighbour's daughter. It was so beautiful, and I was totally in awe of the decor. Love, love, love. It was so lovely to have a special outing to go to with my family. With having been at university, it's great to… Continue reading fashion :: fuchsia
Hello all! Despite what has suddenly become dreary weather, I took a little trip into Manchester today. I didn't take as many photos as I may usually take but here's a couple regardless... From Victoria I headed off for some lunch and then up into NQ. For once I didn't go in a single shop… Continue reading life :: MCR
If you live anywhere near me, you may have heard of The Pack Horse, in Affetside. I absolutely adore this place. Everything about it is just spot on, and also, they do amazing cocktails. Just saying. Yesterday afternoon my mum text me "Shall we go out for tea?" And let's face it, it would be… Continue reading food :: pack horse
A camel is not just for Autumn. It's forever. I have an interesting relationship with camel colour pieces. I don't particularly like them on me, but they always look great on other bloggers and people I see when I'm out shopping. Rather jealous. INSPIRATION from Missguided Missguided is the place for camel. Their pieces are just… Continue reading fashion :: camel
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
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
Hola, a late Feliz Navidad from meeeee. I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and I wish you the most wonderful New Year. My festivities this year were just as splendid as usual - lots of turkey, stuffing and my favourite...HONEY-GLAZED PARSNIPS. And with plenty of family, every moment was delightful. On Boxing… Continue reading fashion :: boxing day
