#WIW 2014

I hope everyone had an insane New Year and Christmas!

Here's a mini round up of some outfits of 2014.

Adoring the Maltese-er Experience

Desperate for some sunshine I booked a last minute flight to Malta this Easter Break. It was amazing - there's so much history and beautiful buildings knocking about. I just wanted a beach break, a full week of doing nothing but it ended up being a bit of a city/island hopping break. Two other gorgeous islands just north of Malta - Gozo and Comino - were worth a visit. Not as hot as I wanted - explains the jeans - but I pushed through and have the cringe tan lines to show for it. 

Here's my wardrobe diary this holiday.

Life Lately

Despite my best efforts to fight this, blogging has become a much smaller piece of the fashion pie since September last year. It is annoying. Here's a few of my every day outfits - weekends, work and general porking about from instragram. Best buy by far recently has been the leather dungaress from ASOS and my sparkly hot pants that make a disco in the sun. Enjoy.

Trippin'

This Summer has been a funny one but an amazing one nonetheless and the blog has unfortunately suffered. I spent an intense 6 week training for my new job then was finally able to relax for 20 days in Asia (which has taken up the whole summer) so here's a few holiday snaps! We spent half a week in Beijing before travelling around Thailand. I've previously spent 6 weeks in Thailand before in 2009 but I don't think I quite got how truly beautiful the place is! There's nothing paralllel to Thailand, it's like paradise - from the islands in the south, the jungle in the north and the craziness of Bangkok - the whole place is a mega treasure. Despite the beauty, I was a hot sticky mess most of the time but did manage to get some outfit shots in: 

Breathing in....

Koh Lanta, Hot dog legs and Cart wheeling 

Greatness and Fakeness

YES. That would be me perching on the Great Wall of China. My first time in Beijing and it is freaking awesome in every way possible. 

The first night we sweated down Wangfujing, sliding (it was that sweaty) shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people. The air was thick with stink and all the street food was served on a stick. Starfish, flying lizards, scorpions, squid, quails, crabs, tripe, snakes and spiders all served on a stick. It was an inward battle for 2 days but I've decided you should see the vid of me eating my first scorpian! I'm dribbling with sweat, no make-up and mega jet lagged, so please no judging....!

 

You'll know the counterfeiting here is insane and scary cheap so I've taken full advantage. Below my haul so far! A Tory Burch make up bag and some "corss my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" House of Holland sunglasses (originals here) have been the best bits.

Absent Heart and Fondness

Admittedly it's little bit of a cop-out post but having non-fashion related responsibilities up to my eyeballs this month, this is the best I can do. So here's a round of Instramming activity of my new life up north, a few throwbacks and fashion updates. ahhh I miss London, fashion, my nerdy friends and my bike. 

boo. freaking. hoo.
