The Tea Files: Whittard, Covent Garden

So, I hope I'm not in the minority here as someone who didn't even know that Whittard did afternoon teas. Of course I was well aware of their beautiful crockery sets (the Alice in Wonderland one has been calling my name for years), and their fabulous selection of teas, but did you know they actually have their own little tea room? 

How Spreading Kindness Makes For A Healthier Life

Jumper - C/O Sugarhill Boutique | Skirt - Topshop (Similar here) | Boots - C/O Rocket Dog | Hat - Second hand

I think kindness is a bit like eating your five a day. Everyone wants to be doing it, but more often than not you forget.

The Secret Garden

Dress - C/O Chi Chi London | Bag - C/O Zatchels | Necklace - C/O Paul Hewitt | Bracelet - C/O PURELEI

I titled this post 'The Secret Garden', but if I'm totally honest, this garden isn't really a secret at all! And if it is, well, someone's not doing a very good job of keeping it that way!

An Autumn Fairytale

Once upon a time, the woods called to me.

They asked me to get lost amongst their creaking arms

And gentle whispers of the breeze that

Grew ever chillier by the day.

Cloaked in scarlet and raven I felt drawn to

The golden decay of the changing seasons

Despite the grim darkness that consumed the mornings.

Roast, Borough Market

There's nothing I love more than a good date night in London Town, especially when it involves trying a new restaurant with a menu that looks positively drool-worthy (classy I know, but trust me, it's amazing). So, I was very eager to try Roast, a lovely little spot lurking above Borough Market that specialise in...you guessed it, roasts. All kinds of roasts, as it turns out. 

Made for Adventure

Thermals - C/O Sno Queen

A couple of weeks ago, I received a little email from the lovely people at a wonderful brand called Sno Queen, asking if I would like to model for their new campaign. I immediately said yes, especially after browsing the website and discovering that they create quite possibly the most glam thermals I've ever seen.

The NYX Picks

I always feel a sense of nostalgia when I do a beauty post here on the blog, just because I don't really do them that often anymore and it was originally all I used to write about here! However, I was very excited to write this post as I've finally boarded the NYX hype train. I know right, finally!? 

Falling Back in Love With Blogging

Dress - Lipsy | Shoes - C/O New Look

I suppose you could see this post as a little sequel to one of my recent posts about whether I can be a blogger and an Instagrammer, but either way, I felt like it deserved it's own post. Lately, I've felt a little out of touch with my blog. While Instagram feels like my thriving passion, blogging has felt almost like a chore and something that I have to do, rather than want to do. 

Another Day of Sun

Top - Topshop | Shorts - PINK | Bag - C/O Zatchels | Shoes - C/O Rocket Dog

Sunny days call for sunny flowers, of course! I'm starting to realise as I'm writing this that the sunny British weather that we had last Bank Holiday Monday has turned rather quickly into a weird, rainy, muggy warmth that I am definitely not a fan of. That whole being too cold but still sweaty thing? No thank you!
