    Back to regular programming ;) and I’m lusting over some fast fashion pieces at even cheaper prices. Summer sales are all over the shop (har de har), so I’ve done some snooping online and picked out some of my favourites I’ve spotted.

    Despite not heading to any festivals any time soon I always get swept away with the boho trend that rolls around every year – must be my inner hipster or something – so maxis, florals and desert boots (to wear with floaty dresses) do make an appearance. One the opposite end of the scale, I’m loving the minimalist trends that are now becoming more prominent on the high street, shown here in the form of patent accessories and block coloured clothing.

  • Summer Souvenirs Giveaway!

    Giveaway Header 1
    As my little NYC series has drawn to a close here on the blog and I’ve also hit a couple of really cool milestones (over 300+ followers on Twitter, 100 followers on BlogLovin and 150 followers on Instagram! Crazy!), I thought it would be nice to give a little bit back to all you lovely people :)
    So I have a mini souvenir giveaway for you with some goodies from my trip to NYC. 
    NYC magnets Wet n Wild eyeshadow Paperchase notebook
    • Cool souvenir magnets I found in both Strand Bookshops in Soho and the New York Public Library
    • A compact Wet n’ Wild eyeshadow [‘Walking on eggshells’] which is a small version of the one I featured in my US beauty haul
    • Not from NYC, but a little pocket travel notebook from Paperchase, for when you go on your own adventures! 
    I’ll be running the giveaway until the 30th July and you can enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter entry form below!
    On a sentimental note, I’d just want to say thanks to all of you guys for sticking with me during my crazy final year at University. As much as I loved school I’m super excited to get right back into blogging again, with some exciting plans in the works for the next few months!

    NYC Times Square1
    Now as much as my experience of NYC has been a little different to some others, there are many sights you can’t quite escape. And why would you? New York City is filled to the brim of ready-made landmarks straight from the big and small screen. Growing up in England, sure, I’m a train ride away from the London skyline or Brighton pier…but the New York skyline and Empire State Building at sunset? Lady Liberty from the ferry on a misty morning? The bright lights of Times Square? So for my last New York blog post for this series here are just some of the places that took my breath away…
