  • Celebrations on the beach. At the weekend, Paul and I had a romantic picnic to just take a moment to celebrate that we've been in our forever house nearly a year, and oh boy, this year has flown by. It really is amazing seeing our house transform with us. ... What made it special was drinking Thatchers Family Reserve sparkling apple wine listening to the wind with sand between my toes. This wine is super refreshing and perfect for a summer picnic and come on you can't have a celebration without bubbles! Oh, and the weather certainly helped. ...

  • Stripes and tulle = my kind of Parisian chic. ... What makes this look even better is that this @joanieclothing tee has this exact street on it - Rue Montmartre - that just happened to be round the corner from the hotel - I may have been a little too excited to have my pic taken here that my husband really didn't get it! ...

  • Happy Sunday folks - what another good day - I do love this warmer weather - it was so lovely taking Falcon for a walk down the river, while snapping pictures of the beautiful swans. ... I also finally got to see Jurrassic World - I'm a dinosaur junkie and I love these films - more so now that Chris Pratt is in it - so it felt right to put this pic of my Jurassic Park tee I wore when I was in Paris. ... Random fact about me I really wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger, even before I wanted to be a journalist, part of me still wishes I had taken it further and I still get excited when I hear about a major archaeological find. ... What career did you want to do when you were younger? ... Tee: H&M Skirt: ASOS Bag: Cath Kidston x Disney (Gifted) Trainers: La Redoute (Gifted)
  • I do love a beach day. It really is one of the many things I love about our move to Kent - being super close to the sea and this beautiful coastline. ... Today, was a really lovely day, a little picnic, a wander through the dunes, and then I went and picked out my new bike, after yesterday's mini adventure with @goodordering I just decided why wait - I can't wait for it to arrive to next weekend. ... How has your Saturday been? We're hoping that the weather holds out long enough to have a BBQ I bought posh brioche burger buns! ... Dress: Boohoo Shoes: @emuaustralia (Gifted) Hat: Mango
  • This week has been amazing, normally when I return from a great trip I'm not motivated and basically just want to eat holiday chocolate and what Netflix but I'm so glad I mixed it up and stepped away from my computer. ... Today I went on a fun cycling ride with @goodordering - who you guys need to check out I'm obsessed with their bags and eyewear - head over to my Instastories to see more - I just love that the bags click onto the bike either on the handlebars or the rack over the back wheel - plus they are super cute. ... I also conquered one of my fears I cycled on London roads and didn't fall off, even when a huge bus when super close. I really couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it, and how my confidence grew, it was so much fun whizzing through East London and checking out some incredible cycling businesses. @armourtexcycles showed off the most incredible mermaid sprayed bike which I so need and Jenni from @ldnbikekitchen explained all the maintenance courses you can do so you can repair your own bike. ...

  • Wishing I was back in Paris sporting this super cute white dress and my new fav boots - love a designer dupe and these patent black beauties from Ego look just like those Balenciaga's that I'm obsessed with. ... Also, can you believe that this white dress is from a supermarket? Loving Tu at Sainsbury's and this dress is going to be one of my go-to's for the summer - so versatile - pair it with boots, trainers or even sandals - dress up - dress down - love it. ...

  • Did you even go to Paris if you didn't do the cheesy in front of the Eiffel Tower piccie? ... I'm all my times to Paris this is the first pic of me and the Eiffel Tower and it just felt right as I was wearing my 'Bonjour Madame' bargain tee from @primark - £5 well spent if you ask me! ... I'm going to warn you now there is still a lot of Paris piccies to come - I truly did have the most amazing trip that I can't wait to share with you all the shops, restaurants and cocktails spots that I just adored. ...

  • Last night in Paris and saved one of my favourite looks for dinner - I'm so in love with this cute jumper from @joanieclothing perfect for my Parisian birthday getaway. ... Today, has been another fab day, we wandered around Montmartre, admired all the cool street art and fancy buildings, ate éclairs, and found lots of cool things I wanted to buy. ... I'm not going to be happy tomorrow, I really don't want to leave, but I'm going out with a bang - here's to another fun night in Paris - cocktails are waiting! ...
