Let's Play Catch Up.

 Hello girlies! I've had a crazy hectic but crazy good week, so much so I still haven't crammed in any outfit posts much to my dismay, sorry girlies. I have however done two fashion shoots  AND been to Paris, all very exciting therefore better catch you up with what I've been upto.

Trotting off to the station at 6am, wrapped up extra warm.

Paris at night, first time I've laid my eyes on the Eiffel Tower...already planning to return in the Summer.

Eaten a shameful amount of this stuff in the last few days, always stock up in Europe.

Definitely ate a snail, not quite sure what to think.

Amazing macaroons and real hot chocolate, it was like drinking a brownie YUM.

Too much choice in the scrummy Parisian patisseries.

Spent many evenings creating inspiration boards for my shots, this is 90s nostalgia.

Trying new things with my hair with a little bow band from a Christmas cracker.

Found the perfect book for my course.

Making the most of the uni library these days.

Was shocked to see Meateor had been taken off the Dominos menu, so create my own had to do.

Sneak peeks of my studio shoot with my beautiful model and photographer Nadia Ryder. 

Getting ready with the gorgeous uni girls.

Being posers at Palais Royal.

Finally found the postcards from Rome so I can stick them on my 'places I've been' wall.

Paris was amazing of course, and we stumbled upon some fab vintage shops where I purchased some goodies, of course so I'll show them off soon. Hope you are all staying warm in this extremely chilly weather!

When in Rome...

Hello hello, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are still enjoying the festivities. Christmas Eve my boyfriend and I returned home from a long awaited weekend in Rome, which was pretty magical this time of year. I especially thought it would be romantic flying back on 24th for some reason, until I started to panic two weeks before that we may be snowed in for Christmas haha...thankfully all was okay.

We managed to cover the whole of Rome and it's greatest landmarks in the four nights we were there, revisiting our favourites on the last day. Was so lovely to spend some quality time with the boy on our own little adventure, definitely one of my favourite things to do in the whole world. Plus the Italian gelato was AH-mazing, pretty sure I had it for breakfast everyday.

A Walk in the Woods.

Today was just about a perfect Sunday with Jack, exactly what I needed before coming back to university. After an extra long lay in we had a little ramble in the woods, which I think is always so picturesque in the Autumn. We used to go here quite often when we first started out and although he claims we are way before our time (the only other people we bumped into were way over 50 haha) it's just lovely to find the time to do the simplest of things together.

 Once we got back we had a lazy nap before a game of scrabble and roast dinner, topped off with possibly the greatest Christmas film ever..Home Alone. Now I'm back at uni writing this post and already missing the boy, a bit loser-ish I know haha.

Hope you all had lovely Sundays too, I'm already looking forward to the next weekend so I can see the family and celebrate my baby sister's fifteenth birthday with her. That said, I'm not quite wishing this week away, enjoy yours!

Life as of Late.

How is it that October is very nearly over? Sometimes a pause button is needed to take in the best of times, that would be pretty nifty.

Uni friends and I visited the Tim Walker exhibition going on at Somerset House, whilst we were there the ice rink was being set-up for Christmas...already plan on going back to the exhibition (which lasts til January) and having a little skate too.

Jack celebrated his 21st birthday, he's now an old man I keep telling him hehe.  It's crazy to think he's 21 when we became friends way back when we were 14, as my friends would put it #thatshitcray

My uni town has some pretty cute, old-school sweet shops, and these scrummy blueberry bon bons got me through a very long Monday.

Ran for the train without realising my hair was still in pigtails, thought I was getting strange looks, but I kinda like it.

This shamefully may have happened during the week when I had ran out of bowls to use and was in a bit of a rush, student life right there haha.

An amazingly cute jar of marshmallows that my mum included in her charity fundraising tombola, sadly I didn't win, would have looked awesome in my kitchen.

Well hasn't the weather just been charming this week? I had never seen fog stick around throughout the entire the day before.

Defeated by monstrous burgers at Jack's birthday lunch at The Picture House; monstrous yet delicious  all the same.

One of Jack's presents included a huge jar of 21 of each of his favourite sweets, it went down very well . This is a perfect, thoughtful gift if you're looking for something cheap and cheerful.

Walking through an autumnal tunnel to my parents, one of the best parts of the season has to be crunchy leaves beneath your feet.

First ever trip to Harrods, can I please live there? It's just so quaint and ridiculously charming, if only I had thousands to spend.

It took all my strength to resist buying anything from this lovely little bakery in Knightsbridge, the lemon drizzle looked especially appetising. 

A little bit of print clashing for London town, outfit post to come soon.

My only purchase in Harrods was this tiny, chocolate pizza for Jack, thought it was pretty damn quirky and within my price range haha. Topped with honeycomb and fudge.

Booked tickets to see Skyfall and Mr James Bond definitely did not disappoint, a must-see, if not obvious already haha.
