I’ve made no secret of the fact that I really loved Gdansk, and something that certainly played a part in that was the food. One of the more difficult aspects of going vegan has been travelling; finding suitable places to satiate my everlasting hunger and stop the inevitable moodiness that results from having to eat… Continue reading Vegan eats in Gdansk

Making workwear more fun; ways to give your office ootd some personality
My idea of nightmare attire is probably a stiff, close fitting, traditional grey work dress. Apologies, grey work dresses, or wearers of grey work dresses; I’m sure nice dresses that are grey that you could wear for work exist, but in this instance I see the grey work dress as a symbol of all the… Continue reading Making workwear more fun; ways to give your office ootd some personality
Instagram is making me hate perfectly nice things and it’s pathetic
I went for lunch with a friend the other day. After we’d caught up on the important things – her recent trip to NYC, what we wanted to eat, which of the middle aged men in the office was being most of a displeasure to work with that day – we moved on to more… Continue reading Instagram is making me hate perfectly nice things and it’s pathetic
Easy-to-wear vintage: a lookbook

One of my most sought after items was… Continue reading Easy-to-wear vintage: a lookbook

I’m a contender for the Queen of ‘this time last year’ and every Christmas, birthday – even pancake day, for gods sake – you can bet that I'll be thinking of what we did, who… Continue reading Tales of Valentines Days past
On owning your ambition
I can still remember a particular time a couple of years ago that I was described by someone as ambitious, and without even thinking about it, ‘No I’m not!’ came out of my mouth in response. Clearly, I was not the same person then as I am now. It feels strange to have ever subscribed… Continue reading On owning your ambition
Budapest travel diary part two | Thermal spas and ruin bars
In November I headed to Budapest for a three night break. In part one of my travel diary from the trip (which you can read here) my ears had popped on the flight and never unpopped and I sneezed my way around Buda. We’d just gone to bed on evening two of our trip, I… Continue reading Budapest travel diary part two | Thermal spas and ruin bars
Two scarlet style staples, because I can’t stop buying red stuff
I wanted this title to be a beret pun, but hey, it’s late, and I don’t know any, so there’s a tongue twister relating to today’s topic of red accessories for you instead. Is there a colour you just never thought you would suit? I’ve had three; black (yes, that's right, I was convinced that… Continue reading Two scarlet style staples, because I can’t stop buying red stuff
