Hello Wonderful People! In case anyone needs reminding, there's a bank holiday weekend on the horizon and that's the only excuse I need to book a little get away; but where to go? Picking a new destination suitable for a weekend away can be tricky. Finding the right flight times to make the most of your trip, at the right price, can be an impossible task. Plus, the flight itself can take a good chunk of precious time away from your short break. I'm always so determined to jet off somewhere exotic that I fail to consider staying on this amazing little island. Opting to stay in the UK has its perks. Ok, the weather isn't always guaranteed, but if you can let that slide, bonny old England has a lot to offer. You could also save a lot of time and money in the process, which is always a bonus! So this bank holiday weekend, I'm going to treat myself to a good old fashioned staycation!

Hello Wonderful People! Summer is well and truly in full swing and so far, the weather has been pretty awesome. Summer in London is the perfect time to hit a beer garden or roof top bar and catch up with friends in the sun. So, for research purposes only (ha, I joke) I've sampled a few more bars that are the perfect place for a summer tipple.

Hello wonderful people! If, like me, you absolutely love The Stylist and sign up to their awesome daily emails from Emerald Street , you'll probably have heard about the Emerald Street Brunch. The event took place last Saturday, and was packed full of food stalls offering all kinds of mouth watering brunch dishes. Food and drink weren't the only thing on offer though; you could get temporary tattoos, have your hair braided, make a flower crown or take part in the hilarious egg drop. The weather was glorious and my friend Brooke (check out her lovely blog here ) and I ended up spending the whole day there, there was just so much to eat, drink and do. It was awesome.

Hello Wonderful People!   The UK is host to a great range of amazing cities, each of which have something different to offer. Be it history, architecture, food, art, culture, drink or scenery, you’re bound to find most of them in each and every British city. Now I’ve not actually visited every city in the UK, but I’ve been to a fair share of them in my 23 years, so I’ve put together a little list of my 5 favourite cities that I think everyone should visit if they ever set foot on our lovely little island.   

Hello Wonderful People! I've been quite a busy bee recently and in an attempt to also save money, eating out has taken a back seat. However, a month or so ago I discovered Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street and it's my new favourite place! There are so many cool bars and restaurants there, and the whole area has a really cool vibe. Plus the outdoor courtyard gives it an intimate and almost secret feel. If you haven't already, go check it out! While I've been to a couple of the places in Kingly Court, I've also managed to explore a few restaurants I've been wanting to visit for a while. I just love food.

Hello Wonderful People! Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you'll have noticed that the weather is absolutely amazing. Now, I don't want to jinx anything, as the British weather can be pretty temperamental.. but the next week is also looking hot hot hot! Could we actually be in for a proper summer this year? I bloody hope so. With this in mind (and the fact I'm off to Thailand in October, HOLLAR) I've come up with a little summer wish list, full of things I'm lusting after!  

Hello Wonderful People!   I've done it! I've (just about) managed to survive my 7th Glastonbury. This year was a real struggle, and possibly the most crazy and sleep deprived of them all. I'm seriously suffering from the post-Glasto blues and have been living and working in a little depressed bubble. I hope writing this post will give me time to reflect on my amazing week at Worthy Farm, and help me come to terms with the fact it's all over for another year. Sob.
