I Want To Philosophize With All The Guys...♥

Bonjour mes amies! Hope you're all super-duper. Just a really quick post because this is an absolutely crazy week and I don't know when I'll get another free moment. You know how I said in the last post that I didn't want to just give you guys self-timered images from my dorm room? Well, a girl can change her mind...

I'm wearing a bowler hat! I loved it from the second I laid eyes on it ages ago but wasn't sure if I could pull it off so I needed a second (or couple hundred) opinions. So what do you think mes chéries? Am I successfully channeling my inner beatnik?

Speaking of beatniks, I am going to Europe for three weeks in just under a fortnight and would ♥LOVE♥ your opinions on the must-visit places (sadly this time on a budget). I'm going to Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Venice and Berlin so if you know of any uber-fabulous shops/cafés/restaurants/parks/places that you would recommend then please let me know.

Have a long and ranty post coming up soon so stay posted. Also thought you might want to know that after almost a year of being at the same college as her with no sighting, I have now bumped into Lily Cole three times in the space of a month. 

Models, it seems, are like buses.

Hope you're all staying as safe and as chic as always,

Living For The Weekend ♥

 
Bonjour mes amies, just a super quick post today in my bid to be a much better blogger. We all need a break from time to time and it's amazing how much going home can remind you of who you are and what's really important in life. That Dorothy was onto something, there really is no place like it. It was the middle of term and I was suffering a bit from what's known here as the "week 5 blues" so I decided to get on a train and come home for the weekend. It was absolutely the right decision. Either my mum or my house has magical properties, but I'm writing this from my dorm room at uni much happier, saner, and refreshed.

Apart from being reunited with my lovely London (above), being home also meant that I finally had a photographer (my mum) to take photos of my outfits for you lovely people. My fashionable alter ego is pretty much a secret from everyone here and it's kind of weird to ask people you don't know if they will take posey "fash-shun" pictures of you. Awkward much? Plus I think you all deserve better than dodgy self-timered images of me in my room which has meant some of my best Cambridge outfits have sadly gone to waste. Never fear darlings, I shall replicate them for you as soon as I am back home this summer.

So here's what I wore this weekend. Did you guys get up to much? Anything exciting? Yesterday evening I got a new fringe on a whim but totally didn't factor in the Great British weather and the fact that it is going to rain buckets this week. Anything other than sunshine + my hair = disaster.  Bad hair day does not even BEGIN to describe it darlings. I'm pretty sure I've cracked a few mirrors and made a few small children cry. today Also "they" are wrong. The best invention was not sliced bread, it was hair straighteners =P

Also, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your INCREDIBLE support and feedback for 'Go Lightly' magazine pleaseeee keep the wonderful comments and love coming in and continue to spread the word by mouth, blog, Facebook and Twitter.

Hope you're staying as safe and chic as always,
