Bonjour, Today I thought I'd share my spring picks from New Look with you. I adore New Look and I shop there all the time, and in fact I'd say it's probably my favourite clothes shop (with the possible exception of Forever 21, which we sadly no longer have in Brussels). It's affordable and I always find things I like, and it's also...

Bonjour, Today I'd like to talk about one of my very favourite things at the moment: Olympia Le-Tan book clutches. They are essentially handmade and hand-stitched clutches in the form of books, both classics and modern titles, and they're so beautifully done I can't help obsessing over the incredible detail of each. It's pretty much a dream of mine to own one of...

Bonjour, I saw Gemma do this tag on her amazing blog Touch of Belle and it looked really interesting so I decided I decided to give it a go myself, as I haven't done a tag post for quite a while. I hope you enjoy reading my answers! I also thought I'd share some of my favourite holiday snaps at the end of the...

Bonjour, The other day I finally got round to watching the 80s classic The Breakfast Club, and as I haven't done a review in a good long while I thought I'd blabber on briefly about it here. It's probably a bit unrealistic to call this a 'review', so instead let's just say here are my thoughts on and immediate reaction to the film....

Bonjour, As I said in my last post, I was in the UK last weekend and I (naturally) did a bit of shopping along the way. Here's a quick mid-week haul so I can justify my purchases by photographing them and putting them on the internet under the guise of a blog post... The Red Queen and The White Queen by Philippa Gregory,...

Bonjour, This weekend I went to the UK for a wedding, which was all very nice, a lovely family occasion and a chance to catch up - until we all got food poisoning/norovirus/who even knows. But anyway, on the long drive back home before the sickness set in we stopped off in Hastings on the south east coast for a wander around, as...

Bonjour, I know it's already April and 'goals for 2015' type posts are long overdue, but I suddenly felt the need to officially reassess my bookshelf situation and figure out exactly what I definitely want to read this year, and what can easily wait until 2016. This definitely isn't my extensive 'to-read' list for this year as I always get sidetracked into new...

Bonjour, I think I've just started following more fashion/haute couture-orientated blogs on Tumblr lately, because suddenly an awful lot of catwalk looks have been popping up on my dash and I've found myself reblogging them in quite the frenzy. I don't know what it is about runway fashion, but even though my knowledge about it is minimal I can get extremely excited and...

Bonjour, Yesterday I went shopping again, and unusually enough I had an actual idea in mind of what I was going to get. Usually I waltz into a shop and casually browse the rails, but this time I was very much on a mission: namely, to get a dress for my cousin's wedding next week. Of course, I'd kind of forgotten that outfits...
