Tourist Snaps

Hey everyone!

The other day I was casually walking through town, when it suddenly hit me that there were so many tourists in the city taking pictures. This is not a problem whatsoever, however when you realise that part of your body (whether it's the back of your head, foot or face) is in one of these pictures, I immediately wonder where it is actually gonna end up. Just think how many pictures we are all in without even realising! A couple in China, for example, could be reflecting on a lovely picture of them that was taken on Lendal bridge in York, and then they'll look closer and see this random ginger girl in the background, pulling a not so attractive facial expression, whilst trying to prevent the sun in her eyes - this girl, of course, being me. So next time you go shopping, or walk through a busy public place, watch out for those tourist snaps - you never know where you'll end up!

Speak soon,

Alex

Jumping into my 18th in a Jumpsuit!

Hey everyone! So last weekend it was my 18th birthday (woop woop!), so I wanted to wear something sassy. Browsing through the Topshop website, a beautiful black jumpsuit caught my eye. I wasn't sure I'd pull it off, but I was too in love with it to not buy it... So it arrived, and I LOVED it! I love the elegance of the gathered sleeves and the v-neck line (it did seem quite low, but hey ho, you only turn 18 once!). I like how it isn't fitted, yet still singes in the waste with a cute detachable 'seatbelt' style belt (as I told my friends). Jumpsuit - Topshop £40 As you can imagine, I had to wear something to make my white chest look a bit less bare, so I decided  to pair my jumpsuit with a stunning multi-coloured rhinestone choker and a simplistic, delicate triple row gold necklace. My older sister was generous enough to let me borrow her beautiful Topshop black heeled sandals too!  Nails - No7 Stay Perfect Shade - Lovely Fuschia  Sq...

Tacky Teddies?

Hey everyone! Is it just me, or has Valentine's Day become some sort of massive hype this year? It's so much more of a bigger thing than it used to be (okay I sound like an old woman right now), but why do we all make such a big deal out of it? I think when you're single, you realise how much lovey dovey shizzle there is everywhere, but it just makes me think; why on earth would you spend so much money on some cheap tacky teddy bear when you could buy a beautiful bag... or dress... or even just a tasty box of chocolates for your girlfriend?! By the way guys, I am not against Valentine's Day whatsoever. I'm all for sending cards and sharing the love... however I will never be a lover of the tacky teddies. Speak soon! Alex x

Aus Adventure: Welcome to Travel

Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well during these very strange times. I am currently living at Spot X Surf Camp on the East Coast of Australia during the COVID 19 pandemic. It’s a weird feeling being at the other side of the world during all of this madness, but I figured I would use this time to reflect on my Australian journey. I’m sure there are so many people so eager to travel when all of this is over, so I thought I’d return to my blog and write up a cheeky post reflecting on my first couple of weeks in Melbourne pre-lockdown. I always knew I wanted to work and travel in Australia, but I just had no idea where to even start with organising it, especially seeing as I knew I was travelling on my own (scary times). I remember googling ‘tours around Australia’ and it just felt like there were so many different things that popped up that all seemed to say the same thing, leading me to feel more lost with it all. I’ve done lots of travelling before, but I alwa...
