Fashion: Liberty London OOTD

Image
Hi ladies, how are you? During my holiday in London I was lucky to spend an entire day with my friend Karen from StyleSunrise . We’ve met a few times before and we would have a busy day filled with blogging events and fun. On our way through central we went past the flower bouquets at Liberty’s and couldn’t resist to do a quick picture swap for ootds. Karen and I were on our way to our first CatalystPR beauty event when we saw the beautiful flowers and arrangements outside the luxurious department store. It was still rather quiet on the streets of London so we took the opportunity to use the perfect setting for an outfit shoot. I’m wearing a polka dot dress from Forever 21 which is currently in the sale. Though it is made of polyester and the material has a little plastic feeling to it, the skater dress is very light and at no point did it make me feel uncomfy or sweaty. My jewellery includes a dainty rose gold heart pendant necklace from Buckley London and my Daniel Wellington watch

Fashion: Canary Wharf Day Out #OOTD

Image
Hi everyone, London is always worth a visit and now that my Alex has moved there, chances that I can return more often to the capital are very high. The trip was first and foremost to see him and spent some time together. As you all know life sadly never works in the way it should causing circumstances which are hard to change, so at the moment we rarely see each other. Goes without saying that any chance that comes along to change that has to be taken! I booked myself into Travelodge for a few nights and we would see each other in the mornings and after work. Over the weekend however, we enjoyed a little shopping spree at Westfield in Stratford and explored the Canary Wharf area for the very first time. We watched the new Ryan Reynold’s film Self/less at West India Quays and then strolled along the magnificent business area. Though I went passed the HSBC tower a few times on the DLR and daydreamt myself away working at Reuters, I never walked around this part of London. I found it ver

Lifestyle: I Scream Ice Cream. The Top 3 Places In London

Image
Hi ladies, summer and ice cream are an unbeatable combination. If you follow me on Twitter and Instagram, then you will have already seen that I’m a passionate lover of all things cold and sweet. Now that the heatwave has come back to the UK it would be scandalous to not enjoy a cooling ice cream treat. Plus where there’s ice cream involved, there’s me! I’m going to show you the top three places where you can indulge into some fantastic ice cream opportunities in London. 1. Ben & Jerry’s Core Tour (FREE) Ben & Jerry’s annual free ice cream tour is back in town and throughout the month, the van will stop at several locations all over Central to share their latest Core Edition (please find my  Ben & Jerry Core Edition review  here). Me and my friends Karen ( StyleSunrise ) and Tania ( WhenTaniaTalks ) were lucky to get an exclusive look inside of the mysterious ice cream van, so we joined the team for a day. We headed over to the van which was parked in Camden and there was a

Film: What's Hot Or Not In July. Part 2

Image
Hi ladies, 'oh another film post' I can hear you say. Well I left my June round up rather late, so I had to split my film review for July into two parts as I'm trying to catch up on films earlier this month. Said and done. I booked myself a cinema marathon of four films, of which I only managed three in the end, due to an emerging migraine. Magic Mike will be, however, added to the list later in the month, so keep watching this space. Amy 5/10 To me a good documentary can talk about an unknown topic and engage me through an extraordinary presentation. The facts are wittily intertwined to stir interest, demand interaction and teach me something. Sadly this doesn’t apply for the latest and much talked about documentary about Amy Winehouse. Yes, it has exclusive and never seen before footage and video recordings but does it tell you anything new about the singer? No. I’m not an expert but I did follow the extensive media coverage around Amy for years before she died in 2011.

Fashion: Functional Festival Wear

Image
Hi ladies, how are you? Festival wear has to look stylish but at the same time needs to be functional in case of weather change. I promise this will be the last Glastonbury related post but I thought you might be interested in how my festival outfits worked out for me in the end. I've also included some more fashion ideas for your festival wardobe and I hope you'll enjoy today's post. Glastonbury is not only know for music, but for fashion and spotting celebs. My previous festival wear experience was based on one day festivals, which made packing and planning for Glastonbury a personal style challenge. Because less is sometimes more, I came up with five outfits for each day and also packed some warmer clothes for sleeping at night. In hindsight, I should have taken one or two additional outfits as I relied to much on my cultural understanding of summer. I thought it would be hot and sunny all day, but I keep forgetting that this is Britain, so hourly fluctuations of rain an
