On my playlist...

The band Rubber kiss goodbye include Tara Ferry, photographer and Burberry model, as their drummer, who provides the beat to their seminal retro and Brit pop songs. There's something quite "90's" about them, but they're still a lot cooler than the Vengaboys (which i was embarrassingly obsessed with when I was little) Rubber kiss goodbye are definitely becoming a regular on my playlist!

C'est Paris!

Like most people I dream of whimsical adventures in Paris, dinning in bistros and taking boat trips down the river, and although it was only for a day, I finally got to go this summer. The closest I’ve got to the city of Paris before now was Disney, and although I love Disney so much I would be quite happy to live there, I was still eager to visit the city outside of the park. It was everything I expected it to be and more. Every street we walked down looked so typically Parisian it could have come straight from a travel blog! My trip to the top of the Eiffel tower was definitely a highlight, but I also loved the cute bridge covered in padlocks. And although there wasn’t much time for shopping I did manage to buy myself a new (and much needed) leather jacket for autumn, and a cute pair of vintage inspired sandals.

Fair grounds and bubble tea… It’s all going on at Embankment!

My lovely cousin from the Wiltshire countryside came down for a visit recently and we decided to take a trip to Embankment in London to catch a glimpse of the London Eye and Big Ben. Walking along the river side we came across The Mastercard London Wonderground. Although we didn’t pay £7(!) to go on the ride, we did enjoy a wonder through the lantern walkway and a sit down in the Magners Mushrooms.

We then took a walk down to see what was happening at the Southbank centre. There were a couple of art installations outside and we wondered round to find a food market. The smells were amazing, especially the cheese and raisin pancakes that we had a (few) samples of! I didn’t try the bubble tea, but definitely will next time!

Then out of nowhere, in true British style it POURED down. We tried to find some cover and came 5across a very strange secret installation. Icicles made from milk bottles- and lots of them! Once the rain had stopped we ventured round to the roof top garden and café.

On the way back we couldn’t resist a quick trip to Covent Garden, and although we didn’t make it to the main square as our feet hurt so much we had to give up, I did however find a vintage shop I hadn’t yet visited called Pop Boutique. They sell amazing pieces at really reasonable prices! I couldn’t resist snapping up a pair of classic docs for only £35! I would definitely recommend a trip here if you’re in the area!
