Over the last few months I have been obsessed with jewellery, actually... let me rephrase that as obsessed sounds like something I will get over easily. I think it's down to "re-vamping" my wardrobe to a more "mature" style and not my typical array of ugly shirts and gaudy patterns. Here are some of my key pieces that I mix and match everyday:
*Close your eyes* and imagine the scenario, you receive a text from me to meet up for coffee and a quick catch up...
Back with a bang today.. my photo diary is back! *Yaaay* Now the sun's out I have been snapping what London has to offer, I can guarantee there will be more photos to come! The sun makes everything look better and makes me feel instantly better as well.
I will leave you and let the photos do the talking! Sit back, relax and enjoy...
Struggling to find something to do in London this weekend? I have found the perfect five things for a mixture of different reasons (food, family, art) etc. This is a weekly series I will be doing so stay tuned for next week's bank holiday extravaganza.

Sundays are a day for relaxing, so why don't you self indulge in these delightful mint aero brownies. I am now currently sat here trying to not consume them all, whilst this would be the best decision whilst eating them, I would definitely regret it in the next 5 minutes. This is such a versatile recipe which you can add any chocolate or sweets of your choice. I really want to try adding the Cadbury's Crunchie Rocks or Milkyway's next time. - Maybe not for a few more weeks though, as my waistline may not agree, whilst my taste buds say yes!
Another weekly series starting today, how exciting for you all! A quick guide of what's happening in London this weekend for you readers to enjoy, if you are visiting London, or just want to have a nosey of what's happening.
Something I have struggled to do since moving to London is finding the right balance between my finances and having fun, I want to find something interesting to do without breaking the bank. As much as I would love to go up the Shard, I can't bring myself (just yet) to spend £25, when you can appreciate the sunny weather now and see London for free. It's also a nice escape from the hussle and bussle in the centre of the city.
Last night myself and 299 people were lucky enough to have a chance to photograph the inside of St Paul's Cathedral. There was a mixture of professional and amateur photographers and people that just wanted to have a nosey inside.
Do people ever compare your complexion to a milk bottle? Does the phrase "Oh my god you are so pale!" always spring up? Then my fellow friends you are not alone. Especially when I was younger I used to find it such a struggle to find the perfect foundation shade. It may have been me trying to convince myself I'm tanned, then looking like an Umpa Lumpa after applying the foundation. I just couldn't get it right, until now. I'm no expert but here's my top foundations for pale skin, for different occasions and finishes:
I enjoy capturing photos for my "London Diaries" series, and I was in Paris the other week I thought I would share with you some of the images I captured. Photography / taking photos is something I enjoy in my spare time, I still count myself as a rookie and still learning as I go a long. I don't think I could ever call myself a photographer. I will keep it short and simple for now, stay tuned later on in the week for my favourite places and new found loves in Paris.
Meet Casey everyone, (Life On The Thames) and @caseyy.a on Instagram. I met Casey during my first year at uni, and you know when you have that instant friendship with someone but you can't think why, you both just click. Well guys, I present you that exact friendship. I'm envious of Casey's wardrobe in many ways, hence the reason I am showcasing her as my debut star for my new series- bloggers wardrobe raid.
It's unbelievable how quick this month has gone and I am back around doing my monthly favourites. If you remember the drill from my last then I applaud you, but for you newbies I state my favourite fashion icon, bloggers, outfits and purchase...So sit back relax, grab a cuppa / brew and enjoy my fashion favourites..
For starters you would think the photos were taken in the middle of August and that I am a crazy woman for wearing all black to a beach... and well,yeah maybe I am. The unexpected weather threw me off guard, and that maybe I should add some colour to my wardrobe, or not, black 4 eva xo - MAKE UP YOUR MIND MR WEATHER!!
Wow! Didn't mean for the title to sound as harsh, and that I'm fleeing the city (haha, always an exaggerate) but sometimes it's good to get away and escape the hussle and bussle that is London. This new series will take you on the adventure with me through different places I have been, which include my favourites places and what I would recommend to you newbies to the area. So for now I will leave you to read on, Welcome to Canterbury....
Today uni got cancelled, so it's always a plus when you can go out for Lunch in London. Well story short we was supposed to go for breakfast at The Breakfast Club, (yes, how cliché do you want to get) but 2 hours later, we had to call it lunch. Today I went for something pretty casual, however lesson learned I shouldn't be fooled by the sun, sunglasses and a denim jacket wasn't the most practical in terms of warmth...
It's that time of the year, seasons are changing and you want to revamp your wardobe and start a fresh, yeah am I right?... Wait actually I pretty much want to do that every week. The scenario is always scrolling through websites late at night, and placing the odd order like it's some kind of game. Someone needs to hold my bank card hostage! So for now, I have restrained myself for maybe a few days, but if any kind soul / genie would like to grant me my wishlist feel free.
Liquid eye liners have become a ritual to my everyday look now especially if you pray on the ground the likes of Alexa Chung and Suki Waterhouse then you will obviously feel the exact same I do. I have tested and tried out many from felt tip liner pens, liner pots and gel liquid liner and I've managed to whittle it down to my top 3 best on colour, wear and application.
Sometimes it's nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital, don't get me wrong I love London, till death do us part shall I say. My brother is currently studying in Canterbury so I thought it would be the perfect time to come visit him (plus he's a good photographer) . If you don't know Canterbury it's a quaint, picturesque city in the South East of England. With the cobbled streets, canals and gardens with the perfect spring weather peeping through I honestly couldn't have picked a better day.
It's rare I have a Sunday to relax without work or assignments, so I thought I would take the opportunity to show you my "laid back" Sunday outfit. I went to the Museum of Brands And Packaging last weekend, sadly I wasn't allowed to take pictures or you would have had (guaranteed) an amazing array of images. - I definitely recommend going if your in the Portobello Road area of London. A guaranteed place where you will say "Oh my gosh I remember that" more than 20 times!
Yesterday I went up the Sky Garden, which it's been my absolute goal to find a perfect view of London from above... So sit back and relax and admire the beauty of London.
Through the cobbled side street just off Carnaby Street I met a friend here, after getting lost, but hey that might be my bad sense of direction when following Google Maps. After my visit with her, I have now stolen this as my recommendation and "show off" place to friends and visitors.- So indulge and enjoy...
