Edinburgh // vol1

I'm a bit late with this post but I wanted to share with you the trip Tristan organised for my birthday. He surprised me and booked a weekend away in Edinburgh. I have visited Edinburgh before but only there for a few hours, so I have always wanted to go back and discover the city a bit more.

 We stayed in the Apex Waterloo Place Hotel which is very central and basically next to Calton Hill. We stayed in a lovely rooftop room and with a nice city view from the window - we could see Edinburgh Castle!



 Calton Hill was our first spot to visit. It has an amazing view all around the city and of Arthur's seat, so it is worth going for the beautiful pictures. There are many interesting historical buildings and monuments but as it's a hill be prepared for wind and rain!

 The next day we started our day at the famous Edinburgh Castle. Again, the view from the castle is absolutely stunning. I like the brown/grey bricks that colour the city.



 We followed a guide and visited everywhere marked on the map. We got to see each of the castle's attractions - Queen of Scots crown jewels, The Royal Palace, St Margaret's Chapel (oldest building in Edinburgh) and the castle prison to name a few!

Happy tourist

 To even it out a bit I will leave the rest for my next post!

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
