HAPPY MONDAY | 10 GOOD THINGS

Happy Monday!

New week, new start.

I’m back from my flu-induced quarantine, well-rested and ready to hit the ground running.

My content library is (slowly) filling up, my lovely new design is on its way (I’m SO excited to share it with you all!) and I have so much fun stuff planned for the next few months!

I still find it hilarious how people think blogging and social media are really anti-social activities.

My diary has never been this full, and the last time I made so many new friends in such a small space of time, I’d just moved away from home and started uni.

IN FACT. I was technically underage when I started uni (Spain sorts their school years differently to the UK), so I couldn’t actually go to Freshers, so actually I’m probably even more social now than I was then.

Good ol’ internet eh?

I had a pretty quiet few days this weekend, making sure to rest up as much as possible, but I still managed to somehow fit in a small fashion week party, drinks with one of my best blogger gals and an afternoon tea!

Here’s what else has been keeping me smiling :)

1. Watching films in bed with jammy toast, Lemsip and plenty of fluffy blankets. My little flu-nest involved a LOT of the above.

2. Talking design with Jemma. GUYS I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT SHE’S MAKING ME. I think it’s going to be awesome. No, I KNOW it’s going to be awesome. I honestly can’t wait.

3. My zazzy new Adorning Ava necklace. I’ve been wearing it over plain jeans and sweaters and it just gives a little something extra to my otherwise boring outfit. (Also it’s an absolute bargain at £12!)

4. Bruges! After writing my wanderlust post last week, I’m SO excited to say that Gary and I have booked to go to Bruges in December! We’re just going for a weekend to do the Christmas markets but I’m so looking forward to it! We’re taking the Eurostar as well, which I’ve never done but have been dying to do. So yeah. WOOHOO!

5. Fancy fashion blogger catchups. The lovely Freya organised a small get-together between LFW shows for us to sample some of the fab cocktails and macarons at Aubaine in Mayfair. I got to meet a few new lovely ladies, catch up with the lovely Milli, eat all the lovely pistachio macarons and overall it was just LOVELY (and sooo instagrammable!)

6. Spotify’s Acoustic Cover playlist. I spent a lovely evening on Saturday catching up with Jasmin and some other friends over gin cocktails and pizza. The fairylights and candles were on, and this playlist was playing in the background. I’ve been playing it non-stop ever since. It’s BRILLIANT.

7. #LittleHappyMonday! I LOVED seeing your Instagram posts! My faves were this lovely pic by @littlestar_vintage (how cute is the caption?!) and THIS ADORABLE LITTLE FLUFFBALL by @missshelleyharper! Make sure you post one of your happy moments today and don’t forget to use the hashtag (once I set up my newsletter I’ll be sharing my favourites every week!)

8. THESE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK COVERS. FYI, I’m a Hufflepuff and my birthday is in exactly 2 weeks today. Just sayin’…

9. Free McDonalds milkshake! One of my lovely clients bought me a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds last Monday afternoon. It’s the small things!

10. Nutella and banana bubble waffles! I finally met Chloe! And we ate ALL THE FOOD IN ALL THE LAND. We finished the night off with these delightful waffles and they were really, REALLY good. (I then tripped over a bench, landed flat on my face, scattered wine everywhere and bruised my leg. BUT I didn’t break my brand new camera. So there’s that.)
