Top 5 European Cities

Most of my travel posts in the last few years have focussed on Asia, since I was living and working there, so I thought today we'd turn back to Europe, since that's where I now find myself again these days. Europe has such a diverse collection of countries,…

Outfit – Touch the Sky

For my second Disneybound outfit of the year, I'm channelling my Scottish heritage with a look inspired by Merida from 'Brave'. I haven't tried to copy her exact outfit from the film, but instead have put together some of my own clothing items to create a look that…

A-Z of My Favourite TV

I've covered books, music, and films before - now I guess it's on to my next form of entertainment; television (naturally, there are a few letters missing, as always). I definitely watch more TV than I probably should, and too much of it is American TV at that.…

Review – The Greatest Showman

White | Colour

It's pure and fresh and serene. It's bright and light and clear. It's blank and empty and space. (source) It's a lace gown, with a veil draped down the back, gliding gracefully up the aisle. It's the feathery wings of an angelic being of light, watching the earth…

Travel Inspiration | Vietnam

We're travelling back to warmer climates for today's travel inspiration post, as I'm currently freezing back home in Scotland now! As many readers know, I've travelled plenty around Asia, so I'm revisiting Vietnam today. I spent 2 weeks there back in the summer of 2016, on a group…

2018 | Looking Forward

Oh 2018, what will you have in store for me? As I've said in previous years, I don't believe in starting a million resolutions at the beginning of the year that will suddenly transform you into another person, as that's just not feasible. We don't magically change overnight,…
