TRAVEL: POSTCARDS FROM PRIMAVERA

Back in May last year (yes this one is super-tardy), we traded in the annual Glastonbury trip and hit Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. Sunbathing, sightseeing and eating by day and partying to likes of Blur and Wu-Tang Clan by night sure was the perfect way to start the summer.

TRAVEL: POSTCARDS FROM SINEU

Ok, ok- it's been a reeeeeeeally long time since my last post- this is inexcusable but Mama always said; if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. 

The truth is I have been super-consumed with my work and had therefore run out of things to say. But here I am, back with vengeance and ready to post.

I thought I'd ease myself back into the blogosphere with some pretty pictures from last years trip to see Papa Coco in Mallorca.

Sineu is a small village in the centre of Mallorca and every Wednesday it comes alive with quite frankly the best market I have attended. If you are ever on the island it is most certainly worth a visit and a welcome change from beach hopping (although who's complaining about beach hopping?!).

Bright Lights, Big City

PARIS. NOVEMBER 2012.

This has to be one of my favourite shots from last year. It was the perfect time of day where it wasn't light but it wasn't dark.

Postcards from Gozo

Hey there readers, apologies for my lack of posting. As you know I went on holiday to Mallorca last month (visual diary still to come!) and I then had a mad four weeks at work to prepare for my second holiday (lucky girl hey?) to Gozo.

For those of you that don't know, Gozo is a sleepy little island off the coast of Malta. It's hot, relaxed and offers tired tourists like myself the ultimate in refreshing vacations - I highly recommend it.

Here are a few snaps that sum up one rather lovely week with some lovely pals...

Alexander McQueen AW12 Campaign

Greetings readers!

How are we all? Apologies for my lack of posting, I have been off sunning myself in the Balearic isle of Mallorca. I had big intentions of writing and scheduling posts to go live while I was away but as usual, my best laid plans never seem to happen what with working and packing etc I just didn't get round to it (sorry about that).

I will be sharing the visual diary from my trip later this week but as I trawled through my emails this morning I came across the rather lovely Alexander McQueen AW12 campaign shots and simply had to share.

I love the origami, futuristic vibe and I love that red/pink ruffle dress.

Weekend visual diary

A few snaps that sum up my weekend in the sun.

What did you get up to?

Instagrammin...

So Instagram is about as huge as my love for outlandish clothing (that's a lot). Therefore I won't bother going through the motions of explaining what this is. It's great and that's all I need to say. Here are a few of my Instagram posts (does one call them posts?) from May...

NYC: Visual diary part 2

More post cards from last month's trip to NYC, I am somewhat wishing I was back there today...

Postcards from NYC

Two weeks ago (yes this post is a little tardy), myself and The Boy took ourselves out of the real world for four days of serious walking combined with serious fun to a little placed called New York.

I went when I was 20 and absolutely fell head over heels for the place, the thing about New York and Manhattan in particular is that it is everything you expect it to be, it's just like it is in the movies. We stayed mid-town, meters off 5th Avenue (serious novelty vibe when you step out of your hotel to see the Empire State Building).

Here are some beautiful memories...

Stay tuned for more of my visual diary.
