Last nights in London





Well, I finished my degree yesterday. Its quite exciting and relieving too I have to say! And with that my time in London is over, tomorrow we're taking the boat to France for a French Christmas with some dear friends. Here are some photos from our trip to the beautiful Christmas market in Hyde Park, which definitely got me in a Christmassy mood, despite study!
I'm sorry if this blog becomes increasingly travel-diaryesque. I do feel like it's still fashion related, because wherever I go I keep getting inspired by the different styles and sights I see.
One final thing, if any one has any tips for what to do in Paris for New Years, it would be very much appreciated! (Or if anyone would like to meet up or make contact there, let me know: my boyfriend and I love to meet locals when travelling)
I hope everyone has a lovely lead up to Christmas!

Yes Natalie



(Cheeky Elisa)
Last night I was given an excellent excuse to avoid studying, as I was invited to the launch of the Prints Charming range of tights by Yes Natalie. Having checked my email only a shortly before the event I had no idea what to expect, but I'm so glad I went! The tights were so lovely, and Natalie (pictured up top) also had the cutest little fur and velveteen muffs for sale. Plus, there were delicious cupcakes and mince pies! It was held in the nicest little boutique called Swanfield, which was upstairs at Kingly Court, a little court full of cute boutiques and shops that I had never noticed before, despite walking past several times. I sure will miss London and the way that there are constantly new things to discover...You can see Natalie's blog with lots more of her cute designs here.

Last Weekend for London Markets





I'm so sorry for being such a shockingly bad blogger of late! The end of semester crunch has had me locked in my bedroom most of the week so nothing really to blog about I'm afraid. I hope you have all been having a much more exciting and pleasant week than I! These are my favourite photos from a perfectly lovely weekend though, the highlights of which included an amazing farmer's market, delicious bitter hot chocolate, banoffee pie, a Christmas and vintage market (complete with Christmas themed tea rooms), and drinking delicious ale and eating cheese in the prettiest of pubs.

Been to Dublin

Meaghan looking perfectly lovely in her 40's coat with a braid in her hair.

Josh (making his debut on the blog) and I outside Kilkenny castle.

Sorry for my extended absence this week! My boyfriend finally arrived here in London last weekend (hurrah!) so when I wasn't writing a 4000 word essay this week we were out celebrating our reuinion and visiting the town. This weekend we met up with Meaghan for two days in Dublin! It was all I wanted from an Irish weekend: Guinness, a trip through beautiful countryside, pub fry ups, and Irish music. I even found a couple of vintage shops, although I can't say the fashion was really a highlight of the stay (no offense to any Dubliners!). That wasn't the point of it though, I really just wanted to have a bit of a break from uni and have some fun in a different city, and that we did!
