A New Favourite: Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray
January 23, 2013Taking the plunge with Bumble & Bumble has been a devastatingly long time coming. You would think, being the haircare obsessive that this blog is testament to, that I would’ve gotten around to road testing their stockpile of hair grooming products by now. And for a girl who’s obsessed with volume, volume and more volume in the barnet department, surely B&B’s most iconic product should have solidified its close friendship with my hair centuries ago? … Continue reading

The Romeo Reading List
January 17, 2013This week, I decided to sift through my entire back catalogue of reading material, both on and offline, and compile an organised list of magazines, blogs, book and sites that inspired me to begin this blog, and that inspire me to keep blogging. In the process, I rediscovered a few hidden gems, many a broken link and some old-school issues of UK Teen Vogue, which me and my best friend each had a subscription of … Continue reading

The Handbag Hitlist
January 6, 2013New years are all about fresh starts and new beginnings, whether that applies to our diets, our minds, our hearts or our wardrobes. In this case, I’d like to think a fresh new handbag applies to the old adage, “New Year, New You”. A handbag is, after all, an extension of the female body in all its junk-loading beauty. Having said that, I have never been one to splash out on a new Mulberry handbag, … Continue reading

Romeo Tracks of 2012
December 31, 2012To celebrate another year done and dusted, as well as successfully outwitting those pesky Mayans with their “end of the world” predictions, I thought it was only fitting and polite of me to round up what I consider to be the standout songs of 2012. Throughout the past year, these 12 songs have frequented many a 2-hour drive home, kept my head nodding on public transport, triggered “come and listen to this”-type conversations amongst my … Continue reading

Merry Christmas!
December 27, 2012It never feels like Christmas for me until I’ve landed back at home, and I can gouge on mince pies, watch The Muppet Christmas Carol and wrap the last of the presents while getting toasty by the fire. This time around, my Christmassy feeling didn’t hit its peak until the 24th when I arrived home to the cheeky rascals in the pictures below, but they are what make Christmas so special every year. This year … Continue reading

The December Playlist
December 9, 2012Though, at 23, I still act like a big kid when the festive season comes around, I am a bit of a Christmas music scrooge. The songs that most deem as ‘classics’, I regrettably deem ‘done to death’. Take Slade for example – perfect for those annual Christmas discos at the local pub, but downright annoying when gathered around the dinner table around the 25th. Instead, I like to turn to the reliable Chris Martin … Continue reading

Romeo Christmas Wish List 2012
December 6, 2012Last year, I wrote up my Christmas wish list after neverending “What do you want for Christmas?” type questions from not only family and friends, but from my Twitter and Facebook followers. This year I figured I’d do the same as 2011′s Christmas list was such a hit, and I found a delightful little pile of presents under the tree last year that resembled a certain Christmas list post on this very blog. Again, the … Continue reading

GUEST PLAYLIST: CAT’S BAND CRUSHES
November 27, 2012Today, I am so excited to share with you a playlist by one of my all-time favourite bloggers, Cat Dal of Cat’s Band Crushes.
