ticking off my bucket list #4

Lunch at the Ethicurean.

Another thing ticked off my bucket list! I remember seeing this place on a blog post a long time ago - I wish I could remember which blog! - and have wanted to go there for lunch ever since.

through new eyes.

Oh, would you just look at that handsome chap?! He was lucky enough to get some new specs lately, so he hopped over to the other side of the camera for once!

Have you guys noticed this sponsor on the right hand side of this page...? If not, c'mon guys! Cream teas BY POST! What could actually be better?! 

late summer.

It's starting to feel a little autumnal, isn't it? Part of me is glad, because it means I can wear this felt hat & my favourite yellow jumper without getting too hot! 

ticking off my bucket list #3

Oh my goodness. Not only is this the best thing I've ticked off my bucket list so far, but it's probably up there with one of the best things I've ever done. EVER.

love live.

The other day, my friend Tom and I were discussing all the music we'd love to see live. I created a very long list of acts that I love, but haven't managed to see yet, as well as a whole bunch I'd like to see again.

i like mine #totesbig !

You may have seen a few photos like this hanging around Instagram lately, and wondered why Cath Kidston would be so rude..

bristol's best bits.

I love sharing awesome little places that I find in beautiful Bristol, and today I'm lucky enough to be teaming up with BANK Fashion to show you the best places in my colourful city.

ticking off my bucket list #2

Last week, I got to tick off another thing from my Best Summer Ever bucket list, with a little help from Malibu. 

I've lived in Bristol for nearly 4 years altogether (with a few years of Devon in between) and yet, I've never visited the Lido. A historic outdoor pool with lots to offer..

Wheeeee! You know when you put on an outfit, and you just feel like, "yup, this is me" ..? This is undoubtedly one of those times. 

3 songs I can't stop listening to.

Hey you, good morning! What are you doing today? 

I think you should just sit there for a minute and listen to these songs before you do anything else. These songs have been on repeat this week. They're so beautiful.

Let them sink in.

ticking off my bucket list #1

You may have seen my Best Summer Ever bucket list a couple of weeks ago, and I am finally getting around to sharing one of the things I've managed to tick off so far! 

5, 10 & 15 min makeovers | clarins.

• THIS IS A SPONSORED POST, HOWEVER ALL VIEWS ARE MY OWN •

Let’s be honest here – I wear pretty much the same make up every single day, with the occasional change in eyeliner or lipstick colour. I’m a bit scared of change, and I don’t really know what products are good for my face.

Luckily for me, this week I’m teaming up with Clarins to show you just how easy it can be to create 3 different looks in 5, 10 or 15 minutes!

perfect summer smock.

Looking at my dress collection now, it's difficult to believe that I ever thought twice about wearing a smock. I've aquired quite a few over the past year, and this cute checked number is the latest addition!

BEST. FESTIVAL. EVER.

salted caramel doughnuts.

This week, the lovely people at BakingMad.com sent me a premium package of baking goodies to have a play with, and challenged me to make one of the recipes on the website. I had never ever made doughnuts before, so I decided this would be the perfect excuse..
