  • Wish List | Fresh Start Stationary

    If there’s one thing I truly miss about having an impending new school/college/uni year ahead of me now it’s doing that annual Autumn stationary shop!

    I know for a fact that I’m not alone in loving the feeling of walking into somewhere like Paperchase and picking through new pens, notebooks and folders. And just because I’m not starting afresh anywhere new doesn’t mean I can’t join in with you guys getting ready for the new term and gear up for a fresh start!

    Normally I like my stationary simple, preferably matching, and functional (handbag ready please!) and I have included a few of those types of pieces in there. But hey, where’s the fun in being totally practical? And why stick to the basics when you can appease your inner child with some more colourful items in your handbag too!

  • Wanderlust | British Staycations

    With Summer slowly drawing to a close I’m looking closer to home for some truly British staycation getaways in lieu of another trip to foreign shores over the coming months (and so I can save some pennies for trips abroad next year!). Thankfully Britain isn’t short of some pretty decent travel inspiration and there are plenty of options for anyone thinking of vacationing near instead of far.

    There are of course classic seaside towns on the South Coast of the country. Head West and you have the luscious rolling hills, moors and clifftops of Cornwall and Devon. Towards the East are my favourite traditional Summer escapes, Lepe Beach, old Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and Brighton.

    Hopefully by now you will have seen my Rome travel diary by now, though I didn’t get much time to extensively shop we did manage to get to visit the main shopping district in the city by the Spanish Steps and there were plenty of little boutiques near our hotel too.sephora-haul (more…)
