Hi 2013!

Oh, hey, a new year happened! Funny how quick that occurs. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact it’s 2013 let alone that it’s half-way through February. So far I have had champagne on...

Remember, remember

Mini sparklers are where it’s at.

This is Halloween!

Isn’t he cute? I mean… terrifying! You can’t see from the picture but he’s also kind of glittery. I upped the spook-factor with some window clings on the bay windows behind baby Jack the pumpkin. I...

The littlest pumpkin

It’s only the 27th of October and I nabbed the very last pumpkin in Sainsburys. This runty guy was all on his own, I couldn’t leave him there, so I shall transform him into a fearsome monster for...

The Chosen One

I’ve been sick all this week with an icky flu-y cold. My head feels like it’s gonna explode and my throat is twice its normal size. Today one of my interns was on holiday and the other was coming...

Chicken noodle soup

My Dad mocked my enthusiasm for my very first batch of home made chicken noodle soup. To be fair to Daddums, most people wouldn’t be quite so proud about producing edible soup at the age of 26....

Nanowrimo

For some reason, only known to crazy peeps like me, I’ve decided to give National Novel Writing Month a go. With working full-time, and studying part-time and already having a novel first draft...

I heart Kate Spade

Full post title should have been In the I heart Kate Spade more than diamonds club. See what I did there? The most exciting thing in this whole post is the Four Calling Birds iPhone case. Not...

Lydia Martin is our queen

When you’re not too sturdy; I haunt you, you hurt me. I love Teen Wolf so much it hurts inside! I did everything in my power to avoid liking it… most notably not watching it. But, I caved, and I...

If we could bring him back we would…

I got to see an early screening of Frankenweenie last night, followed up by a Q&A with producer, Allison Abbate, who was a delight. She had such interesting things to tell about producing...

Please never ever have a healthy relationship, Taylor Swift

There should be a song about how great Autumn is

I love the run up to Christmas. The weather might be dismal and the nights too long, but there’s so many things to make up for that. Hot flavoured coffees and sweet treats. Fairy lights and...

On Saturdays We Drink Starbucks

Happy Saturday, kids! I am a terrible blogger. My BFF Britta is back to blogging at 2nd Floor Style though so maybe that will be inspiration to stick at it myself. My Saturday tradition of working...

Read/Write: Anna Dressed In Blood

1 – 2 – 3 If I haven’t mentioned it before… I read a lot. More now that I’m the proud owner of a Kindle. Not all of the books are groundbreaking works of genius nor are they all completely age...

SadBot

It has been a hard week so far. One of life’s little stresses meant I had to fast for 25 hours from yesterday through today. I have never been as excited to eat lunch as I was today! Sometimes I...

On Wednesdays we wear… pink

Alice + Olivia dress, Bottega Veneta scarf, Charlotte Olympia heels, J. Crew t-shirt, Brian Atwood heels, Lanvin flats, Selima Optique sunglasses, Spendid tank, Alice + Olivia trousers.

7 for 7

Seven things for seven days. This week I liked: USA scratch map, Weston printed silk journal, WTF mug, The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting, chunky link bracelet, suede driving moccs, and an AIR CON...

Yummy yummy yummy

Trying to cut out most of the processed food in my diet again since it seems to make me feel like a zombie. I think I could live on bread and butter as long as it was a French bagette and Lurpack....

It’s a bear hugging California!

Booze is a life-ruiner. I (re)learned this the hard way on Thursday. Me and Emi trundled ourselves along to see the band Best Coast on Wednesday night and I may have been a shade over tipsy. To be...

Collar wings

My lovely friend Abbey gave me this cute little collar pin for my birthday. The wings pin on to either side of your collar (go figure!) and although I’m sure someone more demure would have buttoned...

Sweet chilli and garlic stir fry

For a girl who skipped lunch (read: woke up too late to fit in both breakfast and lunch) and couldn’t wait to cook dinner, a stir fry works out well. Yummy spice, carby noodles, all of your...

Reading by the fire

Rainy day

Birthday

This terrible phone picture really sums up how I rang in my birthday. Tiki-themed drinks in Mahiki. Free shots of grog. Lots of dancing. Me looking evil while drunk.

We love the zoo

My birthday weekend started off with a very merry trip to the zoo. Zoo Lates at London Zoo to be precise. There was cake and carousels and facepainting and the best damn mac and cheese ever. There...

Birthday

It’s birthday weekend! Perhaps a little blog makeover and an attempt to actually update it is in order.

I love summer!

Today has involved reading by the river and soaking up as much sunshine as I can. It’s so beautiful outside! Oh, London, why can’t you be like this every day?

Self-improvement for dummies

The world is full of guides on how to be a more fantastic person. There are glossy, pink paperbacks; self-help guides to the single, skinny, city girls. There are how-to lists on Yahoo for awkward...
