A few weeks ago, I attended an evening baking course. This was a course like no other. It was in fact an entirely gluten free and vegan baking course. No eggs, no milk and no flour. Where, why and how?

Screw Resolutions.
Like Christmas lights, those are to be broken by the 6th January.
Highlights however -  more my bag.

New Year, New Hurrrrr 💇🏻💕 thank you Emma @ @bloomer_and_bloomer ! Xx

Yes, yes, I know. I am a walking, talking, breathing cliche:
New Year, New Hurr, New Me and all that.

Apart from the hair, I hope that much will stay the same from what I learnt last year. And I want to keep it up.

So, no far-fetched (and breakable) Resolutions for 2017.
6 short, snappy words seem a far less fragile:

Monday, 5 December 2016 What I Have Learnt in the Past Year

Sunday Spa day 🐬☄️✨using the rest of my #Lush #shootforthestarsbathbomb

I look at this and think about how far I have come.

On a blisteringly cold December evening, I can luxuriate amidst Lush's ‘Shoot for the Stars’ bath-bomb. With the Cosmetic Warrior face-mask smoothed onto my agitated skin (the garlic in this facemask does wonders for spots!) I looked at my legs in the glistening water and thought about how different this scene would have looked at the beginning of this year. 

Tuesday, 15 September 2015 #XMAS at John Lewis

Spun Candy Creations

I spent a week with John Lewis, helping them during their Christmas Press Show.  (I know - it's too early yet!)

Sunday, 14 June 2015 Copenhagen

I wanna move to Copenhagen. 

Just a short 2 hour flight away, our 4day/5night break left us wanting more.

Wednesday, 21 January 2015 Milan

One of my Best Friends in the whole wide world, Alice, is completing her Uni year abroad in the fashion and cultural hotspot, Milan; As a little pre-birthday treat to myself, I took a trip over the continent and visited her. 

Thursday, 15 January 2015 Billie Black in Brighton

Polo Neck Dress (worn underneath)  American Apparel, Vintage Dungaree Dress, Vintage Loafers, Vintage Backpack.
Ciate Hopscotch on my nails.

Brighton seems to be the most hippity, hoppity, happening place in the blogoshpere at the moment and, wanting a piece of the action for myself, Ed and I took a little excursion to wander around the cobbled streets of the seaside town.

Sunday, 30 November 2014 Paris

What can I say about Paris...  It was (and very much still is) one of the most eloquent, beautiful and prosperous cities I have visited.

Sunday, 23 November 2014 Brussels (and Bruge)

Wednesday, 19 November 2014 Amsterdam

Amsterdam was gorgeous; another favourite city of mine.

Tuesday, 11 November 2014 Berlin

Berlin was one city that I absolutely adored. 

Friday, 31 October 2014 Prague

Wednesday, 22 October 2014 Vienna

The impressions I got from Vienna was that it is an extremely cultured city, especially within Art and Music.

Monday, 13 October 2014 Budapest

Budapest was purely fun and laughter. It was the perfect destination for a girly, boozy long weekend away, full of folly and mischief. 
Coincidentally, two of my fab housemates (also called Hannah and Hannah - I know, beyond confusing!) were interrailing at the same time as us and, wanting to coincide with each other at at least one destination on our trip, we managed to meet them in Budapest, aswell as my other housemate and her boyfriend who wanted to join on the bandwagon too; the six of us found each other in Budapest and made the most of it.

Wednesday, 17 September 2014 Venezia

I go back to Uni on Saturday and I have mixed feelings about it. Half of me can't wait to see my friends, let out some steam and perhaps add some purpose to my life, but the other half feels absolutely freaking terrified.To be a student going into their final year seems incredibly daunting, and what's even worse about it is that it means I have to turn 21 in January and finally graduate in the Summer. I am going to be a grown up and grown ups have to make scary decisions about what direction their life will go in. Pray for me. 
Although, looking back over the beautiful, eyeopening never ending summer I have had of travelling, meeting the greatest people and expanding my future sights, it does spur me on to keep on going, grabbing every opportunity with both hands and getting those experiences that I will never have the chance to have again. So I guess I just have to breathe and maybe, one day, if I keep doing that, I will end up exactly where I am supposed to be. :) It's a little late but in June and July I travelled to 9 different European cities : Venice > Slovenia > Budapest > Vienna > Prague > Berlin > Amsterdam > Brussels > Paris.
Although I loved every moment of my trip, my favourites were Budapest (for the nightlife), Berlin (for the nightlife) and Paris. Paris was one of the beautiful cities I have ever been to and is probably a city I need to visit again and want get to know inside and out. 
However giving each city the justice it deserves, they all have a dedicated blog post just for them.

Tuesday, 24 June 2014 Packing for Interrailing

(I am in Paris for Bastille Day!)

Today I go travelling for 3 weeks. Yay for me! I am so excited. Promise I will show off my snaps when I get back and in the meantime, I have thought of sharing with you a little snippet of what I am taking away with me. 

Sunday, 22 June 2014 FAB U LOUS

Heidi Hi - Long time no speak! I can only blame myself for that, mucho soz.
Although I may have been a lazy tyke and neglected my blog, I promise it hasn't been in vain. The past month has been a total whirlwind: in-between finishing Uni for the year, unpacking all of my belongings and packing them back up again, working at 2 different hotels, basking in this glorious sunshine and styling up numerous outfits for a festival (to then be stuck in bloody bed with food poisoning - gutted) it seems that life has been running at 100mph and I am only just about able to take a breath. 
Alas all is not lost, as for the past fortnight I have been fortunate enough to dip my pink-polished big toe into the lapping sea of fashion journalism, interning at The Sun's Sunday magazine supplement: Fabulous Magazine.

Tuesday, 6 May 2014 Met Gala

Just a quick, visual post this time:  My faves from last night's MET Gala!

Saturday, 3 May 2014 Mona the Vampire

I thought I looked a bit like Mona the Vampire, but after a quick google I realised her costume looks nothing like what I am wearing, oopsie. Going to keep the title anyway...
