NOVEMBER ON FILM
A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE PICS ON FILM
I was itching to get my photos developed from my birthday trip the moment I landed (I felt like Monica after her wedding!) and I’m so happy to have them! I wanted to share with you guys a few of them - I ended up taking over 200 pictures and here are some of my favourites. I shoot these on my 35mm point and shoot, I use the minolta riva zoom I got off etsy for £30 and it works like a gem.
DTLA
SPORTS LUX CO-ORD
I’m all for comfort dressing and this outfit was one of my favourites. (Its also in my favourite colour - green)
I picked this outfit up whilst I was in LA in October and thought it would go so well with DTLA. I popped by, caught up with friends and explored a bit more of the area. Its not my favourite area in LA but I there are so many good restaurants there. There's going to be a LA eating guide up very soon! I just have to complete the post as its quite a bit one but keep an eye out for it!
Jacket and track pants from Style Delivers on Melrose, trainers are Missguided and the bralette is from Calvin Klein.

STREETS OF PRAGUE
A COMFY FIT FOR THE FIRST DAY OF PRAGUE
These set of pictures were taken a few months ago in Prague with We Are Komodo. I fell in love with the architecture of Prague - especially these colourful houses and streets. It was never somewhere I saw myself travelling to but we had so much fun exploring the city and eating our way around it. This outfit was for our first day in the city, super chilled as we weren’t doing any work that day. I wanted to dress comfortably as I knew we were walking around a lot and went for this crop top from Brandy Melville, cargo trousers from Missguided and Balenciaga Trainers.
You can see what we got up to in Prague from my vlog, which you can watch here
ALFRED X THE LINE
When your two loves come together
When your two loves of LA come together as one! I was recently in LA late September and had heard that Alfred was opening up at the LINE in Korean town. I was filled with excitement! I spent the last few days of my trip there and I’m just so in love with the fact I didn’t have to leave my hotel to go and grab coffee from my favourite spot. Currently, the Line is going through a bit of a revamp with the lobby area, their restaurant on the 2nd floor and a new coffee shop in place. Even though theres a lot of change happening, one things for sure the service and vibe of the hotel is still impeccable. I can’t wait to stop by again next week when I’m back!

A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE
A must have in every girls wardrobe - a silk slip.
SOAKING UP THE SUNSHINE IN LIQUID GOLD
To say I'm obsessed with silk slip dresses lately would be an understatement. I keep telling myself that the last slip dress before would be my last one and yet my wardrobe grows each week with a new piece. I've created an edit for you below of my favourite slip dresses. Some that I've picked up and some I've had my eye on for a while.

RUNNING AROUND LONDON WITH MY PARTNER IN CRIME
Totally forgot to post these cute pics Chloe & I took during LFW from February. It feels like this year has gone by so fast as we're already in June. How did this happen? Were we all too caught up in the weather to notice? Anyways, with summer coming up so soon I'm already planning my next trip away! Where shall I go this summer?

GUIDE: 1 DAY IN SANTA MONICA
What to do if you only have a day to spend in Santa Monica
MY GUIDE TO SPENDING THE PERFECT DAY
IN SANTA MONICA
I often get asked if you need to spend a few days in Santa Monica area to make the best of it. The truth is, you can just spend the day there and still fit everything in. Here is how I would spend my full day!
Head down to the Santa Monica pier.
I love the fair, the games and the atmosphere of the arcade. I normally spend hours in here but head there in the morning to avoid the crowd. Cut the lines on the rides and catch a scenic view from the pier. Grab a burger at Pier Burger if you like ( a classic from back in the day) or some dipping dots for a sweet treat! Oh, don't forget to grab your fortune from Zoltar!
Ride along the beach to Venice!
A typical touristy thing to do but its super fun and you get to see more of the area. You can choose from roller skates, skate boards, the bird, a bike or an electric chopper! Theres a lot of deals along the boardwalk but I normally go to the one near the pier as its only $7 an hour. Make sure they give you the lock if you are planning on grabbing lunch after your ride & you can even ask for a basket!
Photo op with the Venice sign
No matter what time of day, you will see someone with a camera snapping each other at this famous crossing. Head there for sunset for the perfect photo op but be warned - it gets pretty crowed.
Grab a bite to eat at Great White
This cool neighbourhood cafe serves coastal california dishes & everything is delicious! A perfect spot to go for breakfast as well. Bare in mind that it does get a bit busy but the wait usually isn't that long!
1604 Pacific Ave, Venice, CA 90291
Drive down to Abbot Kinney
This is favourite area west side. Abbot Kinney is pretty hippy, happy & full of little boutiques and amazing restaurants. Try out the Butchers Daughter, Felix, GTA, Blue Bottle coffee and Neighbour to name a few! If you do have a car with you theres plenty of public valets which is normally about $12 flat fee so you can wonder up and down the boulevard.
Grab some ice cream from Salt & Straw.
Probably the best ice cream in Abbot Kinney. They have such incredible flavours that I wanted to try everything! I ended up going for the honey lavender with was a dream. Topped off with fairy sprinkles!
1357 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291
Visit Burro
My favourite store along the Abbot Kinney Boulevard. This has everything from books, homeware, beauty products, clothing to gifts! I spent way too much in there but picked up some candles, spicy margarita mix and a few gifts for my family.
1409 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, CA 90291
To finish off your day head back to the beach & watch the sunset! You can grab some fruit bags or snacks from the pier and enjoy the view & people watching. Or if you fancy some dinner along the beach, head to the Ivy which is just at the top of the Pier!
