Bonjour, Today I thought I'd try something new, so after fiddling around in the Polyvore creator for half an hour I came up with the (somewhat unoriginal) idea of doing a series of 'how to styles'. This essentially does what it says on the tin, in that I style a particular type of clothing item each time, hopefully in a variety of inspiring...
Bonjour, I had my last exam yesterday, which means this is officially the first day of the summer holidays for me! I still have to go back to school for graduation next week, but I'm really looking forward to that actually - I'll probably do a really emotional post about leaving school behind blah blah blah. Now that I have more time on...
Bonjour, Recently I was casually browsing the Urban Outfitters website (read: procrastinating revision) and I got completely sucked into their 'apartment' section and particularly the decor. I know the majority of it is overpriced and I could probably achieve the same effect myself with a little DIY, or find similar items for much cheaper at vintage markets - but I can't help my...
Bonjour, Today I have a new instalment in my 'Fashion Fancies' series, where I take a fictional or historical character and create some outfits for them that I imagine they would wear. Previously I've dressed Catherine Howard, Cathy Dollanganger and Wednesday Addams, and for this post I decided to put some outfits together for Mia Thermopolis, aka HRH Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, the protagonist of the...

Bonjour, The run-up to summer is always such a strange time. On one hand you've got sunnier days and warmer weather, summer collections coming out and advertisements telling you get ready for the beach weather - but on the other hand you're still stuck in school or college or work, gazing longingly out the window and wishing you could properly enjoy the spring-to-summer...
Bonjour, Recently I picked up The Moth Diaries at a secondhand book sale, after being on the lookout for it ever since my friend Elisha recommended it to me years ago. I was thrilled to finally find it, especially as it only cost me a euro. Having finished it a couple of days ago, I can tell it's going to be one of...
Bonjour, Well well well, another book haul... Since I have SO MANY unread books I did kind of ban myself from buying any more until the end of the summer at least, but that quickly went out the window when a sudden desperate need to get out of the house and away from studying coincided with the biannual charity booksale at the English...
Bonjour, Please excuse the lame title, I've been studying maths and biology all day so my creativity is at an all time low. Anyway. The other day while procrastinating and looking through old photos I rediscovered an entire folder of shots I had long forgotten, taken on my Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition back in May 2013 while hiking round the Belgian...
Bonjour, Every time exams roll round I get an overwhelming urge to spend a few hours clearing out my entire wardrobe, get rid of a lot of stuff and then go shopping and spend a lot of money. But sadly what with revision I really don't have the time to spare, so until I'm free from exams I have to resign myself to...
