My Happy Place (Excluding the Bankruptcy).

Is there anything better than a complete stranger coming up to you whilst you're wearing a £6000 Dolce and Gabbana crown and telling you how much it suits you? Just in case that hasn't happened to any of you, I can tell you that there's not. It almost made me jump for joy (the crown was being carefully watched by a shop assistant, who was ready to dive for it at a moment's notice). this happened in Bicester Village, a shopping outlet in Oxford, which is basically heaven on earth. Oxford is about 40 minutes out of London and clearly Geography isn't our strong point because it was much more in the countryside than we expected. Ariadna's first words once we'd stepped off the train, other than "take a photo of me", were "it smells of horse shit". Charming. Asides from that, there are designer stores with items just a fraction of their usual place, pop-up stalls, places to eat and, if you go in December, the most amazing Christmas decorations you will ever see and an incredible playlist of Christmas songs. Make sure to wear an amazing outfit and to take your purse and a lot of self-control. I ended up buying a Mulberry card holder and a Fossil watch. 

A Week in Outfits #1.

Fashion is a big love of mine and something that I definitely don't feature enough of on my blog, especially considering just how much I talk and think about it in everyday life (fact: if you see me looking deep in thought, I'm probably planning future outfits). I've decided that I want to include more personal posts on my blog and that starts with sharing my outfits of the day. I'm thinking I'll do this every couple of weeks so that it doesn't get too boring. There's nothing I love more than seeing OOTD posts on Instagram and people's blogs, so hopefully you'll enjoy mine too!

Wishlist #1 - The High-End Beauty and Skincare Edition.

If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm constantly writing lists. No, not the type of to-do list that you're probably all used to... Think wishlists. My bookmarks are full of beauty and fashion items. My bank account doesn't actually permit me to buy many of them, so what better to do than to share some of the items I'm lusting after than in a monthly wishlist?! This month's wishlist is a high-end beauty and skin care wishlist...

Trends For 2015.

I'm almost certain that I'm Carrie Bradshaw reincarnated, hoping to move to New York and find the two big L's - Love and Labels. I probably read Vogue just as much as her too. Well, I would if she happened to be a real person. Thanks to me practically basing my life on Carrie/SJP, I like to think I know a bit about fashion: what looks good, what works best with what and trends. That last one is definitely a tough one for many, but hopefully this post will help you with that. Here are some of the things that I'll be purchasing over the next few months...

Best Dressed Females - 2014.

I know most people did their "Best Of" during the final days of 2014 but, as I was doing Blogmas, I didn't have the time and thought two posts a day would be a bit much. Plus, as I'm a bit prone to an existential crisis, it only makes sense to do it now as I'm not quite really to let go of 2014.

Cara Delevingne for Chanel AW14.

It seems that Alexander Wang isn't the only designer brand taking more of a sportier take on fashion, with Chanel recently unveiling their ad campaigns for AW14, featuring the model of the moment, Cara Delevingne, in a boxing ring.  Cara's certainly been busy as of late, appearing in ad campaigns for Burberry, DKNY, YSL, Mulberry Balmain and now Chanel... Did I miss anything out?! My god is that girl cracking up a resume.
