My New Autumn Kicks
September 14, 2014There’s nothing quite like a pristine pair of shoes to kick off a brand new season. With autumn well and truly on its way, I’ve found the age-old task of outfit selection even more difficult, and I’ve penned it down to footwear. Having worn my Birkenstock Arizona’s the entire summer, I’ve been feeling a little confused as to where to turn next now that the weather calls for jeans that are a little toastier, and … Continue reading

3 Reasons Why September Will Be All Kinds of Awesome
September 12, 2014Every year, just like clockwork, the final days of August send me into a state of grief and mild depression at the thought of winter being just around the corner. Whilst my Aussie-drenched Insta-feed mocks me with sunny snaps and excitable captions (“Summer is nearly here! *sun emoji* *bikini emoji* *happy-face emoji*), I’m dramatically staring out of my window with a pained expression, dreading the seasonal doldrums that are coming for me, the inevitable cold, … Continue reading

My Favourite Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
September 3, 2014I’ve flirted with healthy eating in the past, but that’s all it’s ever been, and as hard as I’ve tried, I’ve really struggled to ever stick to a healthy diet. But these days, you can find me Googling where to buy ‘bee pollen’ (the new superfood, apparently - if it’s good enough for Mille Mack, it’s good enough for me), or even rustling up one of Deliciously Ella‘s newest recipes. So unlike me, I know. This is … Continue reading

The August Playlist
August 5, 2014Wowza. How did we end up in August already? The sweetest season of the year is sadly flying right past my eyes, so I’m taking this opportunity to quell those “SUMMER’S NEARLY OVER” woes, and bundle together a whole handful of sun-soaked songs (and a sneaky couple of Hozier tunes, because I think I’m in love). Maybe, just maybe, these will help to bring that delicious heatwave back? Yeah, sun? Let’s not waste any more … Continue reading

The Best Music Reads (In My Humble Opinion)
July 24, 2014If you know me well enough by now, you’ll know that I love a good blog. I’ve previously written about my all-round favourites here, but I thought I’d make this one all about music, as that is the backbone of this blog that you’re reading right now. Whaddyaknow! Whether I’m on the hunt for some new jams, wanting to read up on the latest under-the-radar bands, or I just want to know how Refinery29 scored … Continue reading

Abersoch: My Seaside Escape
July 22, 2014As you may all be well aware from my Instagram, I spend a LOT of time beachside. Though I call a little part of Cheshire my home at the moment, there will always be an invisible string pulling me back to the little seaside village that I was lucky enough to grow up in, and now that summer is well and truly upon us, I can’t help but come running back home to drink up … Continue reading

The App That I Can’t Get Enough Of
July 16, 2014What do you get when you cross an Instagram-like app with every song on the iTunes store? You get hours of procrastination, a whole spectrum of music-induced “feels” and a chance to soundtrack your favourite moments and memories. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom. I don’t know about you, but Tunepics just begs the question, “why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?”. It seems like such a simple concept to pair songs with snaps - after all, downloading music … Continue reading

Glasto 2014: My 5 Favourite Moments
July 1, 2014When it comes to the Festival with a capital F, I’ve developed a routine that, sadly, doesn’t involve the real-deal jaunt up to Worthy Farm. To make up for it, I will record every little piece of the Beeb’s coverage on my Sky+ box, whack out a surplus stock of munchies and twist the volume up as loud as possible to at least pretend I’m there amidst the sea of floral headbands. So until that … Continue reading

My Beach Weekend MakeUp
June 22, 2014By the time summer weekends come around, piling up my car with bags and heading to my parents’ house on the coast becomes a thing of the norm. On Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll most likely find me sunning myself at the beach with my hair piled up, shades on, and not a scrap of makeup to be seen on my chops. In the week, I just can’t go without my signature liquid liner as I … Continue reading
