Style Crush #3 - Alexa Chung.

My love for Alexa Chung is never ending, something that you all probably know already. My love for her grew even more, something I didn't think possible, after seeing her in some of Lisa Eldridge's videos (that cat-eye though). I just want to be her and think that she is the height of cool. The fact that I just said that proves how totally uncool I am. We hear enough about her style and lifestyle in all the magazines and newspapers, so I'll let the photos do the talking, yeah?

An Australian Sunset.

I think my overall favourite thing about Australia (other than the weather) is the sunset and the afterglow that they leave behind. Not a day goes by where I don't sit outside and appreciate them. The actual sunsets themselves only last about five minutes, but the afterglow just gets prettier and prettier over the course of about an hour. One of my favourite places to watch them is at the beach in Fremantle, where you only have to blink and the sun will have sunk even more.

My Last Day in London (For Now!).

I have now been in Australia for six weeks and I can honestly not believe how fast time is going. I guess it's true what they say, time flies when you're having fun! I'm excited to continue to explore and to head over to the East Coast and also (hopefully) to New Zealand at some point. Myself and one of my best friends, Ariadna, were recently reminiscing about my last day in London, where I was based before I moved, which we spent together, and she sent me some photos from that day. My favourite moment was stumbling into the field of daffodils. It was nice to see the first signs of Spring (even if it was extremely cold and windy!) before leaving.

My Make-Up: Then and Now.

The evolution of make-up and all things beauty fascinates me. I don't just mean formulas and how we are now able to completely change our faces, which really is one of the true beauties of make-up (pun definitely intended) but also the changes we make in our beauty regime. People that are now in their mid-20s went through stages of over fake tanning and buying pale MAC lipsticks, like Creme De Nude. My personal evolution has been slightly different...

Gazelli House Spa.*

Instagram is definitely my favourite form of social media. Not only does it allow me to share photos and my friends to keep up with my travels as I'm off swanning around the place, but it has also allowed me to partner with brands and meet some amazing people, like those from Gazelli House who have just opened a flashship store in Knightsbridge, London. They very kindly invited me over to see the place one cold, wet weekday, just before I left for Australia. It's amazing who you can meet on Instagram just by uploading a photo of your feet (#IHaveThisThingWithFloors).

March Wishlist: Swimwear.

Australia is WARM. While most people are still battling Europe's rather chilly Winter weather, I'm sunning myself in Australia. Try not to get too jealous about that one. Due to the warm weather, I've been spending most of my time in swimwear and shorts, but I'm finding it ridiculously hard to find swimwear that properly fits, especially bikinis. Bikini bottoms that fit on the bottom, don't fit on top and those that fit on top, don't fit on the bottom. I'm desperate to find some new, better fitting ones, so here are some of my top picks...

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.

February in Photos.

February is a month that has bought a lot of change for me, with the biggest being moving half-way across the world to Perth, Australia. I had no plan, I just knew that I was going to head off on an adventure. I don't even know how long I'm going to be here for, which meant I had to say my goodbyes to some of my favourite people and also my favourite places.

Coco Melody.*

Having just moved to Australia, I'm still in the process of meeting people and making new friends. Over the past few weeks I have met or come across quite a lot of people my age or just a few years older who have their dream job, a great house and are settled down & married. How did they all seem to manage that one?! I clearly should have moved to Australia a few years ago. It seems that weddings are all the range at the moment. Not only does everyone here seem to be married, but someone who is like a sister to me is getting married some time in November, so wedding preparations are firmly under way, especially dress shopping! We've had a look at some over on the Coco Melody website...

Style Crush #2 - Lea Seydoux.

I've always admired Lea Seydoux's style, but the recent(ish) James Bond press tour and premieres made me love it that little bit more, something I didn't think was possible. It's not just her red carpet style that I love though, it's her everyday style too. This is probably down to the fact that she is from France and I love everything the French wear (I will never be over how good they all seem to look in yellow). She's also probably the only person that could get away with wearing pyjamas in public and look good while doing it. Her style is a little more girly than that of most of my other celebrity style crushes, but her style still has an edge to it. Let's have a look at some of my favourite outfits...
