MAKEUP | ColourPop First Impressions

You know what you do when you have about three weeks to summer exams and ColourPop has free international shipping? You treat yourself, of course.

TRAVEL | Jazz, History and Lots of Rain in New Orleans

New Orleans is a city like no other city in the USA. 

In the heat of Louisiana, it is rich with music, art, history, and heavy rainclouds…

TRAVEL | Bohemian Culture Walk

I’ve always loved reading, but recently my appreciation for literature has grown immensely. Dad, knowing this, and also being interested in literature, booked a Bohemian Culture Walk in Greenwich village with Literary Pub Crawl on our stay in Manhattan. Walking around listening to stories of poets and writers sounded like my jam...

OUTFIT | Central Park Culottes

Sometimes throughout my three days in Manhattan, I’d be walking along a street where yellow taxis fly by and skyscrapers scrape the sky, and I’d just say to myself: “Wow. I’m in New York.”

TRAVEL | New York, New York

This was my fourth time visiting New York, and it was certainly not the last. 

TRAVEL | London, Stratford-Upon-Avon and Warwick, oh my!

Last month, I got the amazing chance to explore London, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Warwick Castle with my friends and classmates. It was a school, English-focused weekend trip; English is my all-time favourite subject, so a trip dedicated to Shakespeare was the dream getaway...

OUTFIT | West Side Story

♫ "I like to be in America! Okay by me in Ameeer-i-ca!" ♫

That doesn't reflect everyone's feelings in the USA right now does it?

TRAVEL | Skiing in Auron

I began my 2017 skiing in the winter wonderland of Auron, France - there couldn't have been a more ideal way to spend the new year than with my family and snow!

Quick Queen of Quirk Fact of the Day:

Did you know my first ever blogpost was about skiing?

(Don't try and look for it; it's long gone).

LIFE | Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017

2016. What a year! While it was unfortunately a very dramatic, terrifying, and sad year for the world in politics, violence and global issues, I myself had a fantastic year. It was packed with many ups rather than downs. 

I learned, changed and experienced a lot. 

OUTFIT | Christmas Day

As usual, this year's Christmas was a good one, well spent with my loved ones...

It's mad to think I've documented all of my Christmases since 2012. How much I've changed since then! My Christmas Day was just as wonderful as all those previous. Mum cooked a delicious dinner, I received lovely gifts and I had a laugh with my family.
