2016: Year in Review

Well, here we are again! New Year's Eve, 2016. I think we can all agree that 2016 has been a tumultuous year for the world, and we're all going to have to do our part to improve things next year. But as I've mentioned before, this blog is…

2016: Best Of

I think the whole world will agree that 2016 has been pretty disastrous in so many ways. And while I'm by no means ignorant of the problems we're facing, and recognise that things need to be done about it, this blog is a personal space for me,…

South Korea | 4 Month Update

I'm home again! It's been a whole year since I was in Scotland, for last Christmas, and I still find it crazy that I was away for so long. My time here is brief though, as I'm around for just over a week before I have to…

Live-blogging | 36 Hour Journey Home

I must be utterly mad to be attempting this. The backstory to this is that I'm going home for Christmas, and haven't been home since this time last year. Journeying from Korea to Scotland doesn't need to take this long, but when I'm relying on public transport and…

Boseong Green Tea Plantation Light Festival

I've been round a few places in Busan so far, during my months in Korea, but I've only ventured out the city a couple of times. I got to check another place off my list last weekend though, one that I wasn't actually that aware of it until…

Outfit – Sweater Weather

Cafes of Busan

Busan is absolutely chock-a-block with cafes, something I wasn't expecting before I arrived here, given that Hong Kong had plenty, but most were of the chain variety, like Starbucks. Busan has lots of those too, both international and local chains, and of course these are handy for grabbing…

Fake It Till You Make It

This has been a sort of motto of mine for a while now, and while there are definitely times when you probably shouldn't do it, it's remarkable how far you can get by pretending to be confident and know what you're doing, even when you haven't got a…

Outfit – Black As Night

This dress is one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. I've used it twice before in outfit posts, once as a super casual beach-y look, and once dressed up for a night out. This time, it's a more practical day-to-day look, which I even wear to…

A-Z of Hong Kong

I spent a year living and working in Hong Kong, immediately after graduating university, and while I was terrified at first, and really didn't think I liked the city much during the first few months, it wound up being a place I fell in love with. My year…
