My recent post Blogging Events - Are They Worth It? has been picked up quite well and since the events season has started with all the press days for SS16 and Christmas parties around, I had enough inspiration lately to extend my index of blogging related events. In the past few weeks I went to my first Blogger workshop, attended an overcrowded spa party, lusted over new dainty jewellery pieces and decorated my Christmas tree (yes it is already up, #becauseICan ).  Warning, this is a lengthy post! Bloggeration x Penguin Workshop at the OBag Factory // North London Bloggers contribute to the community in the most diverse ways: some produce regular quality content, others run their own RT service and then you have bloggers who organise their own events. I have a lot of respect for people who work full time and write an awesome blog on the side AND can plan events. One of these extraordinary people is London and Lifestyleblogger Sarah. She has organised a couple of individual workshops

The first installment of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was an animated LSD-trip for food fetishists. A bit nerdy, a bit weird, fueled by a warmly-written screenplay full of humour and pathos directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Thanks to its originality and charm, the box office agreed with a take in excess of £77m. So, it was only a matter of time before Sony cooked up a sequel. In the first film, we met Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader), an unsuccessful inventor from Swallow Falls. Putting his original ideas into practice isn't Flint’s best. So when he promised the islanders a respite from their permanent diet of sardines, he hoped to bask their respect and success thanks to his food creator machine: the “Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator" ( FLDSMDFR for short). The FLDSMDFR transforms water into everyone’s favourite dish. Freed from a diet of oily young herrings Flint is celebrated by the islanders, until the machine turns into an ou

London - the city that never sleeps and which I can now call my home. Yes, you've read correctly, I've moved here for a new exciting job and my second week as an 'official Londoner' is nearly coming to an end. On the weekend I'll be busy sorting out our boxes as our moving van will be coming today. But before I sign off to build furniture and settle into our new place, I'd like to give you a little recap of what has been happening lately in London. So, it was the week, when ... Popchips held a Blogger Event in Central London Though I try to cut out salted food as much as possible from my diet due to health reasons, I can't deny that I now and again risk a cheeky packet of crisps. I discovered my love for Popchips in late 2013 and have been a fan of their sour cream & onion version ever since. It goes without saying that I agreed straight away to an invitation to a three course meal, when the brand reached out to me.  Popchips held a really lovely intima

Source: Pixabay You may have noticed that I haven't been much active on my blog lately. It's not that I'm giving up on blogging - no, no, never! I'm on a break. For once. Since I started back in February 2014, there hasn't been a single day going by without me thinking about my blog. The design needs improvement, my photography needs training, my writing has to be tighter, I've got so much to do and so little time. Sounds familiar? Well then you do understand that a break was much needed.  What have I done since I started my break though? I've been thinking about blogging. Like literally every day. I drafted new ideas, I did an entire blog  maintainance for SEO, installed Analytics and   updated links. I've been so active  o n my blog (in the background though). Can't win can I? This week I started a new job in London and whilst I'm trying to settle in finding my place in the big smoke, I couldn't entirely switch off my mind from Style Lingua

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but as I’ve mentioned in my Life Lately post , I’m taking it a bit more relaxed with blogging. I’ve also got some exciting news to share. I’m going to move to London this week! Not the occasional limited time move, but for real - like in forever. The last few weeks have been busy finding a place and we managed to agree on a cosy flat in South East London. We hope that our moving date will be announced shortly so within the next few weeks I will be pretty much occupied with sorting out a move and settling in to a new life. I’m going to share all the exciting news in more detail once I’m settled in London and for now I’d like to share with you my latest ootd post. Alex’s parents live in the beautiful Forest of Dean which is very pretty this time of year as all the trees are covered in colourful leaves and we have relatively sunny weather here. They’ve adopted a Mini Schnauzer puppy which came as an unexpected surprise to us. Alex's parents have a
