Bonjour, Exams are ridiculously close right now, but I'm following my own advice from this post and procrastinating productively by blogging. My posts over the next few weeks won't be the most inspiring since I'm writing most of them in advance, but watch this space until the summer holidays when I'll have endless time on my hands to get creative! I had a...
Bonjour, Yesterday was my last ever day of school and I still haven't quite recovered from the realisation that I am very nearly free from compulsory education! It's safe to say it truly is the end of an era, as I've been at my current school for all my primary and secondary education and known the same people for twelve long years. We've...
Bonjour, Exams are looming and I'm spending most of my 'free' time trying not to freak out too much about the prospect of spending hours and hours in an exam hall multiple times. It almost goes without saying that I might not be posting as often as usual for the next few weeks - I do have a few drafts saved up but...
Bonjour, Every time exam season approaches, I find myself struggling to remember how to simply get my head down and study. There's always something more pressing to sort out (like my passport application or uni stuff, gahh), or something more appealing such as the entirety of the internet. While it always just about works out in the end, time after time I feel...
Bonjour, Recently I read the book A Death in Tuscany by Michele Giuttari, and I thought I'd ramble on a bit about what I thought of it. I picked it up last year in a trip to the UK (you can see it in a haul here), in a discount bookshop where there was a deal on for three books for £5. As...

Bonjour, I've decided I'm going to do more 'top picks' posts from various online shopping websites, because I really enjoy reading these kinds of posts and seeing little snapshots of what's available without having to trawl through pages of items. Having said that, when the mood strikes I also do love hunting through said pages of items and picking out my favourite things...

Bonjour, I don't tend to do many personal posts about my life, but I thought this occasion definitely merited more than a couple of instagram photos. Last Friday was the Bal du Bac, or Bac Ball, so named after the European Baccalaureate exams we do at the end of our final year in my school - essentially our version of prom. It's basically...
Bonjour, I recently finished reading Fleur de Force's book The Glam Guide and I thought I'd do a quick review of it here on my blog. I bought it a few weeks ago on a trip to the UK - it wasn't exactly at the top of my absolutely-must-buy list but I've been kind of intrigued about it since it came out (incidentally,...
Bonjour, Life is crazy at the moment, I'm frantically trying to get general school-related things out of the way so I can focus on my final exams but everything is so hectic! Hopefully it will all work out in the end, but until then I think I'll be in a permanently frazzled state. Anyway, this is the third instalment in my 'Fashion Fancies'...
Bonjour, I don't tend to post many of my Polyvore sets on my blog since they're all over on my account anyway, but today I just wanted to share a couple with you and gloat slightly about a recent Big Deal that happened. Most of my sets tend to be your standard collage sets, in which I use a lot of coordinating pictures...
