berlin!

Been a little quiet over 'ere since my birthday, hasn't it?! Sorry about that, but, you see, I was in Devon for a long birthday weekend, and then I was working my butt off, and then I flew over to this super-cool place and spent a few days with 2 of my best buds from school... yeah that's right - I was in Berlin! 

My incredibly talented and beautiful friend, Blondie, is originally from Deutschland, moved over to England for a good chunk of life, and is now living back in Berlin, so it was about time that Charli and I hopped on a plane over to see her! 

birthday flowers from appleyard.

It's always nice to get flowers, not least when it's your birthday week! 

on turning 27.

Hmmmm.... today I turn 27. I love birthdays, but I'm not sure how I feel about this one. 

#skincareaware with destination skin.

I've always been a little shy around skincare and baring my face to new people (you can see why in my final - very brave - photo!) and never really taken the time to get to know my skin and how to look after it. I'm ashamed to say I'm a facewipe girl in the evening, and a splash of cold water in the morning.. 

I'm in my late 20s now (urgh.) and I keep thinking about spending more time taking care of my face & body - these youthful looks aren't going to last forever! - so I was really excited to head to DestinationSkin to learn more about how to take care of my skin. 

1 2 3 hassle-free.

Last week, I enjoyed a hassle-free day courtesy of Santander.. if you asked me what my perfect day would look like, it'd basically be like this. Lots of insanely delicious food, a nap, a movie, and great company. 

apricot polka dot midi skirt.

I fell in love with this skirt when I received it, but it's like nothing else I own, so at first I found it a bit tricky knowing how to wear it. I love the midi length and the polka dot overlay, but I tried it with a few different tops & accessories and it just didn't work how I thought it was. I slept on it and realised - it definitely had to be paired with one of my vintage headscarves! 

superga, bath.

I've been to Bath quite a lot lately - this past weekend I went up for my lovely friend's hen do, and a week or two before I hopped on the train with Nick, had a picnic, and checked out the new Superga store that's recently opened up. 

john frieda 3 day straight.

Hands up if you're a sufferer of frizzy hair? Yeah, me too. Sucks, doesn't it? Some people have the luxury of air-drying their hair and it ends up sleek; some people are lucky enough to wake up with perfect hair. Not me. BUT, could that change with a few of John Frieda's Frizz Ease products?
