Music Memories

Bonjour, The other day I was idly scrolling through the songs on my iPod looking for something other than Lana and Marina to listen to, and I started thinking about where I first heard a lot of the songs, and why I decided to download them. I realised that I associate a lot of them with a particular occasion or person, so I...

Olympia Le-Tan Ready-to-wear Fall 15

Bonjour, Recently I've been absolutely obsessed with the designer Olympia Le-Tan. I majorly adored her Fall 14 ready-to-wear collection about this time last year, and have kind of rediscovered her work lately through the magic that is Tumblr. What I loved about her Fall 14 collection was that it was kind of magic-inspired, with lots of appliquéd playing cards, pink and red on...

Unexpected Fashion Haul

Bonjour,  Last weekend I went to my local shopping centre to get my new watch fixed (the strap was much too big), but somehow what was supposed to be a quick trip turned out rather more expensive than I'd meant it to... I had the vague idea of looking for a nice dress for my cousin's wedding in a few weeks, which I...

What's In My Bag?

Bonjour, I've never actually done a 'What's in my bag?' post on my blog before, but I've watched a lot of them on Youtube over the years so I thought I'd give it a go! Personally I find it really interesting to get a glimpse into someone's life through the things they consider essentials - I can't promise anything ground-breakingly interesting here but...

Fashion Fancies: Catherine Howard

Bonjour, First of all, you may notice I've changed the layout of my blog slightly: it's wider than it used to be so I can make the pictures bigger. This seemingly small change actually involved a great deal of fiddling about in Paint to get my banner to the right width, but hopefully it was worth it. Today I was fiddling about aimlessly...

Polly Scattergood (& 100th post!)

Bonjour, First I'd just like to quickly say that this is my 100th post on this blog! Since I started it in July 2013 my posts have been on and off, but I feel like I've reached a pretty major milestone in the blogging world and I like to think there will be many more similar milestones to come. I don't have any...

Better Watch Your Bac

Bonjour, This is going to be a bit of a different post today, but I thought I'd share it anyway. So as you may or may not know, I'm in my final year of secondary school and so far this year has been both the coolest and the most stressful to date. I've gone through the whole palaver of figuring out which universities...

Instafaves

Bonjour, Since I made an account back in November of last year, it's safe to say I've been becoming rapidly more obsessed with Instagram. I had to use some devious tactics to actually open an account, as I don't have an Apple device (except my iPod nano that doesn't have apps), so this involved making an account on my brother's iPod touch and...

5 Classic Novels to Read

Bonjour, Although I love blogging about fashion, internet and lifestyle things, it's always nice to go back to my blog's roots with a good old book-related post. Classic novels and I have and always have had a love/hate relationship. As someone who loves reading, English and all things literary, I feel like I ought to have read a fair number of the classics,...
