Pantone 004 & 001

People who know me, know I hate winter. With a passion. I’m a summer baby through and through. Though I’m technically a November baby, I’m still mainly Florida born and Toulouse bred. Consequently, I only truly feel at ease when it’s hot and sunny.

Honestly, the only thing that makes winter a little bit easier… is fashion.

I just have so much fun with winter pieces and trends. There…

  “No pasa nada en Cuba, chica, todo esta bien”

If I had to take just one thing from Cuba, it would be exactly that. Everything’s okay, nothing can go wrong, just go with the flow and enjoy.

I want to tell a story. My story, in La Habana. I want to share that with the few people that will read this.  The tips, the “dos & don’ts” and “things to know” will come in a separate post though each will…

THROWBACK – CALIFORNIA17 | VENICE BEACH

Long overdue. I actually started writing this post back in September 2017. Pro-activeness still isn’t my forte, but here we are. This is the first time I’m genuinely proud of the pictures I’m posting. I love sunsets, I love California, and writing this is a bit bittersweet. I miss the sun, I miss heat, the ocean, salty air, wearing shorts or maxi dresses. I just miss summer. So this is going to…

As per my last post, here’s the second and last part of the New Year series. I’ll give myself a pat on the back for actually posting this before the end of January – that has, quite frankly, been dragging on for what seems like forever. You know the meme about next week still been January? That’s me. Though I am complaining, this post is about goals I’ll be working towards in 2018. None of that…

Oi. 2018 is here folks. And I’m about 13 days late to the party. While most people are setting out their goals, I’m literally sat at my kitchen counter (where I started writing this post), in the south of France, reflecting on life while watching a storm operate its magic in my hometown. I’m not finishing, adding and editing this post sat in an Italian Caffe in Lancaster Gate, London. Came a long…

“In twenty seventeen, I want to travel more.” Those were the exact words I used 176 days ago. It might also truly be one of the first time I’ve actually stuck to what I said in my resolution post. Wow, could this be a “new me” too? Nah, probably not… Although I’d like to think I’m just a smidge more daring. Everyone knows that travelling takes a lot of time, money and energy. I don’t know how I…

2016 was bad and I can only hope 2017 won’t be worse. As a millennial, I have a lot of things I wish I could just get out of my system – mainly on Twitter – without going on a rant. Still, I won’t tell you to keep quiet, but I figured that the internet has had enough negativity. I honestly can never remember the first two months of the year. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the fact that January and…

I’ve had quite a rocky love-hate relationship with my skin. Like most teenagers, I started having acne when I was about 13 and I mainly blamed my skin problems on puberty. As a 20-year-old, I’ve now come to terms with the fact that it’s not a valid excuse anymore. I accepted that my skin is just stressed, sensitive, overly dramatic and unpredictable – just like me. I genuinely think my skin has…

3 tips on how to fit your life in 15kg

I moved to London on September 19, 2014. As a terrified 17-year-old, my move here was a blur. I barely remember paying 150€ at Toulouse’s airport for being over the weight limit for two out of three suitcases. My mum does, though. 2 years and 14 flights later, I do see myself as kind of an expert when it comes to packing: you live and you learn. So here are three tips on how to pack your life in…

Fall into Frost | Morphe Brushes

Fashion, makeup, beauty & design. The four words that, sadly, dictate my bank account’s every transaction. I truly consider myself as a makeup geek. I live for the perfect foundation, a killer eyeliner wing and a red lip. I know the latest news, I have countless items saved on beautybay and cultbeauty alongside Sephora and SpaceNK. My friends come to me for advice, opinions, and know that the way…

  Shopping, amazing food and a very Christmassy Instagram feed. That’s a pretty accurate summary of what happened this weekend. Even though I was thinking about having more specific posts in this category, I think I have enough pictures and London (touristy, yes, but good nonetheless) spots to write a post today. Long story short, my mum and her friend came to visit me this weekend. Credit cards…
