The Happiest Place On Earth.

This blog post may or may not be inspired by me having just hysterically, ugly face sobbed à la Kim Kardashian my way through Toy Story 3. I've seen it multiples time but it still gets me. It's also one of only three films to ever have made me cry. SO EMOTIONAL. Watching Toy Story 3 made me cast my mind back to last November, when I spent a day at the happiest place on Earth - Disneyland - with some of my favourite people. We spent the day running around, going on rides, meeting characters, doing plenty of shopping and basically just being big kids. Ride highlights include Ratatouille, Finding Nemo & Star Wars, probably due to the fact that they're three of my favourite films. The worst was the haunted house. Each time I've been on it, it's broken down and we've been trapped inside! I must be cursed. Either way, I wouldn't have changed a second of it for the world and I'm so excited to head back (hopefully soon!). We even witnessed a proposal in front of the tower, though one of my friends thought it was a protest, which he made known to everyone. We ended the day watching the firework display. As cliche as it sounds, it really was a magical day.

February Favourites - Travel Instagrammers.

Travelling isn't just a hobby of mine, it's a passion. I'm constantly dreaming about exploring new cities & countries and rediscovering those that I've already visited & had the chance to explore. The list of places I want to visit is endless. From beach getaways to city breaks, warm summers to cold summers, busy cities to empty towns... I want to visit them all! There is so much to see, it's just so hard to keep up! One way I like to keep track and make lists of places to visit is through Instagram! I follow a lot of people that Instagram their travels for a living which has to be the ultimate dream, right?! I follow a lot of people and thought I'd share some of my favourites with you all.

There Will Always Be Paris.

The photos included in this post were taken during our last few days in Paris. With our Eurostar being at 3pm, I (lovingly) demanded that we left the house at 7am, desperate to make the most of our last few hours in my favourite city, and what a great few hours they were. We ended up starting off at the Notre Dame, where we caught the sunrise and a man gave me a bracelet, before heading to Bastille and Victor Hugo's house. This was followed by a quick Parisian breakfast of coffee and croissants. Though I'm heading off to Australia soon, I'm already trying to fit in my next trip to Paris.

Let Them Eat Cake.

During my most recent trip to Paris, I was lucky enough to once again be able to visit Versailles. Being the massive History nerd that I am (#LetThemEatCake), visting Versailles was one of the things I was more looking forward to, not to mention the fact that I'm a massive fan of architecture and design, so Versailles is really my dream place to visit. If I don't get to have my wedding reception there like Kimye, then I will be very annoyed. Here are some photos of me attempting to look cultured whilst wandering through the Hall of Mirrors, The Gardens and The Battles Gallery...

London Memories.

So... I kind of move to Australia tomorrow. I loved my time in London so much, more so than even I expected. I enjoyed new experiences, new food, many adventures and met people who I know I will be friends with for life. I can't believe just how much I grew to love and care for them, despite having only known them all a few months or, in some cases, a few weeks! Like I said, I know we'll be friends for life and I'm so grateful to them for making my experience an unforgettable one. I'm already counting down the days until my next adventures with them all. For now though, I thought I'd share some of my favourite memories from my time in London.

Paris in Photos: Part 2.

Paris really is one of the photographable places in the world. Wherever you look, there is something or someone to capture, though everything is of course even more beautiful in person. You just can't quite capture the true beauty of it and I'm guessing that's because of the atmosphere around you. Even so, I still ended up taking over 3000 photos (I know) so trying to choose some to feature on my blog was very difficult indeed. In the end I chose, not the prettiest or most Instagram worthy, but those that I felt really represented my time in Paris and the moments I felt happiest. Enjoy!

Leather Jackets & Berry Lips.

Paris is one of my favourite cities in the world. I'm lucky enough to have been able to visit a few times now and also have plans to go back some time this year. No matter where I go, my outfit game always seems to get stepped up. This is probably because most of my time at home is spent in my work uniform or in my pyjamas, so I suppose going away is basically an excuse to actually wear proper clothes. Here are some photos of one of the outfits on my most recent trip to Paris!

Parisian Walks.

Considering just how passionate I am about fashion, it's a subject that rarely features on my blog, but 2016 is the year that that's going to change - starting with this post! Hopefully I'll be posting many more ootd's and also talking about other people's style. These are just just a few shots that my friend took of me on a recent trip to Paris, where we went just before Christmas.

Paris in Photos: Part 1.

You might hear this a lot of the next few weeks (expect ootd posts and more similar to this particular one), but Paris is easily one of my favourite cities in the world. I love the architecture, the food (CRÊPES), the people, the atmosphere and, well, French boys (yum). I was going to do a post for each day spent in Paris during my recent holiday there, but felt that you might get a tiny bit bored by it all and I don't think my heart could take knowing that I won't be back there for a while, so I decided to condense it down in to two posts. Expect the second post in a couple of weeks time. Below are a few photos from Disneyland, Versailles, the Louvre, Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle.
