If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m kind of a little bit of obsessed with street art and graffiti. I did two huge posts on the street art in Shoreditch and that only fuelled my obession. When I was last in Europe, two years ago, I…

Christmas Gift Guide #5 | Modern Vintage Style*
Are you starting to look for something to give that person you can never find anything for because they are impossible to buy for for Christmas? Me too. That’s why I’ve started to create this Christmas Gift Guide for unique gift ideas. Here’s number 5! I always feel that jewellery is a fail proof, and…
Berlin Sights | The Berliner Dom
I think I mentioned it before, but to me it is more that worth mentioning again – The Berliner Dom (or Berlin Cathedral). I fell in love with the building on my first day, and it was a grey and overcast light that didn’t even showcase the building too well. So, obviously you can…
Berlin |Part Three
Okay, last part of my day to day time in Berlin! Click here for Part One and Part Two. Day Seven Day seven turned out to be, like most other days, pretty grim weather wise. But, I was determined to do something and so sheltering my camera from the rain I made my way…
Berlin | Part Two
Part Two of my time in Berlin – you can find Part One here. Day Five Day Five was a weird one, because of the time we spent on the bus on the way back from Kiel it felt like the day went very quickly. I still managed to do quite a lot…
Berlin | Part One
I’m back! The silence is over! I’m going to try something a little different for my stories about Berlin and do a quick diray-style overview of what I did in two posts, and then seperate ones to focus on my favorite places again. I managed to, somehow in 8 days, take over 700 photos so…
Curly Hair Problems
This was going to be a post about curly hair ideas I had found on Pinterest, because I like to look at the ways people have managed to tame the beast that is curly hair. Then I came across an amazing string of Curly Hair Problems posts, which all seem to originate from The Curly…
Christmas Gift Guide #4 | Student Edition

That’s why I’ve started to create this Christmas Gift Guide for unique gift ideas. Here’s number 4! Whether you’re starting university in January (like in SA) or going…
Greenwich For A Day
Here’s something to read while I’m in Germany, a good old fashioned picture filled post: On Sunday, Rememberance Day, we went up to Greenwich. I’ve never been before (or I did when I was tiny and don’t remember, I don’t know), and frankly I kind of only knew about the Greenwich Meridian and…
Taking That Next Step
source This is something that I have been meaning to write for a while. It is an important post for me, because in a way everything that I’ve been doing for the last 10 months have led up to this post, and I think that it’s about time that I put some of my thoughts…
Pack Up Your Troubles … And Go To Germany
I’ve been feeling really unsettled recently, and wanting to go home or go somewhere else or do something different and so my plans to travel could not have come at a better time. I had been planning on going to Switzerland, but the travel arrangements and communication wasn’t going very well and since I’ve always…
Christmas Gift Guide #3 | What I Always Wanted

That’s why I’ve started to create this Christmas Gift Guide for unique gift ideas. Here’s number 3! I came across What I Always Wanted through Grace from Other…

Fireworks Night!
Just a quick little update and a few photographs from last week. I cannot tell you how excited I was for Bonfire Night/Fireworks Night/Guy Fawkes (whatever you want to call it!) because I haven’t really seen any big firework displays in ages. The display I went to see was by a world renowned company…
Christmas Gift Guide #1 | Tiger
I always like to try and find gifts for people that are a little bit different or something that will actually mean something to them. Christmas is always a different time to buy presents because you don’t want something gimmicky, but you also don’t just want something boring or standard that you can give to…
Urban Food Festival | Shoreditch
On Saturday I stopped off at the Urban Food Festival, which is a night food market that takes place every week. This week it was in Shoreditch and had a Halloween theme, and since I love Halloween and food, and Shoreditch this seemed like a pretty perfect combination. There wasn’t much light, so my pictures…
Halloween Nails
Completely forgot to mention this yesterday in the rest of my Halloween wardrobe – but I found an amazing Halloween/Autumn nail varnish. Again with apologies for lighting, but the colour is actually a bit darker, and more burgandy in person. This is Maybelline Color Show nail varnish in Downtown Red, and I think that it’s the…
Trick or Treat? | DIY Halloween Costume
My Halloween costume was a little last minute. I would have loved to have gone all out, and done a crazy zombie or something, but in the end after spending my time going around London instead I created a witch costume with two simple accessories – a witches hat (duhh) and some great orange and…
Exhibtions to Visit | London Design Museum
I went to the London Design Museum last week, and you can see by the picture below I really chose the best day to go – I mean, everyone loves forgetting an umbrella on the one day of the week it rains right? I had seen posters for the Women Fashion Power exhibition, and I’d…
Chiltern Open Air Museum
Just a few photos from when I went to the Chiltern Open Air Museum. It has ‘rescued’ buildings from all over the place, including a 1940s prefab house, an RAF Briefing Room, 18th and 20th century cottages, Edwardian bathrooms, a cafe in an old furniture factory, the old High Wycombe toll house, a traditional farm,…
