Bonjour, Today I have another 'how to style post', this time centred around fruit - see the last post here. Lately I've noticed a lot of fruit-themed clothes and accessories in shops and generally in internet fashion, not least from the gorgeous Kailey of Mermaidens blog, who is the undisputed queen of fruit (and ice-cream) motifs. Here are a few ideas for incorporating...
Bonjour, I'm going to be honest: I wasn't expecting to like this book. I was expecting to be wildly disappointed in the lack of magic, and in the departure from the extraordinary world that is the Harry Potter universe. I was expecting to feel betrayed by the very idea that J. K. Rowling, the woman who wrote a series of books that had...
Bonjour, Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the visual inspiration the internet has to offer, especially when it comes to tumblr which has a staggering quantity of content uploaded each day. I tend to save pictures to a folder called 'inspiration' whenever an image strikes me as particularly unique, interesting, or just aesthetically pleasing, and the other day I realised I had...
Bonjour, Today I thought I'd dash off some thoughts on some of my recent reads, as since school ended I've had a whole lot more time to dedicate to the pursuit of literature. There's nothing I love more than just lazing around on a summer afternoon with a good book, and I've made quite a lot of progress on my mission of reading...
Bonjour, The other day I was browsing the Topshop website intending to do a general picks post, and fell completely in love with so many of their dresses that I figured I may as well dedicate a whole post to my favourites. I wear dresses all the time, from floaty summer ones with sandals in summer and thicker fabrics with tights and boots...
Bonjour, This past week I've been on holiday with my best friends in Corfu, Greece, as a celebration of the end of exams, the end of school and indeed the end of an era, as come September we'll go our separate ways to university. Most people in our year tend to go on holiday in groups at the end of school, typically to...
Bonjour, Recently I came across the 'bookworm tag' on a couple of different blogs and decided it was absolutely perfect for me. I tend to call myself a bibliophile (hence bibliophilia) which refers to a love of books specifically as opposed to someone who loves read, but I suppose both terms apply really! Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?...
Bonjour, Since my last haul post I've actually been shopping again a couple of times, but I thought I'd combine what I got on the two trips into one post so as not to overwhelm you with hauls. The sales are on in Belgium and have been since the 1st of July, and while I love nothing more than a good bargain I...
Bonjour, Today I have a new instalment in my 'Fashion Fancies' series, in which I take a fictional or historical character and put together some outfits I imagine they would wear. Previously I've created looks for Catherine Howard, Cathy Dollanganger, Wednesday Addams and Mia Thermopolis, and I honestly can't believe I never thought of Daisy Buchanan before now! She's absolute ideal as a...
Bonjour, Exactly two years ago today on a sunny day at the beginning of summer, I decided to take the plunge and start a blog. It wasn't such a great leap as I'd been a contributor for a couple of Stardoll-related blogs before (oh the young innocent days of my youth), but this was going to be the first time I was completely...
Bonjour, Yesterday was my graduation ceremony, or as we call it the 'proclamation of the results' since we also got all our final exam results. It was a really lovely occasion, as everyone more or less dressed up despite the terrible heat. The ceremony was held in the gym, which was made to look relatively fancy with plants dotted around and a blue...
Bonjour, Today I did that thing where you walk around a shopping centre for hours and look through racks of clothes on sale and end up spending a lot of money. Actually it was less than I imagined at the end of the day because sometimes sales prices do that wonderful thing of being lower than it says on the tag, which is...
