One Day. Merry Christmas

It’s hard to believe it was a whole year ago that I was tucked away in a Cotswolds cottage enjoying my first European Christmas with family friends by the fire. Where does the time go? This year I find myself nestled in the foot of the Italian Alps in a magical little town called Merano. There’s snow on the mountains and Christmas markets everywhere, and, you can even eat a Christmas meal in a bauble - I mean how festive is that? Even better, Dad’s come to visit so we’re spending it together.

I hope you have a magical holiday with those nearest and dearest to you. Much love and have yourself a merry little Christmas xxx

Suitcase. Party In The USA - Vegas

Image
Cha-ching. Vegas. It’s safe to say I was pretty excited for this final leg of the trip because I’d not been to Vegas before. We decided to road trip it from LA to Nevada where we saw some pretty incredible desert scenery along the way but nothing compared to when we drove up over a rise and first laid eyes on the mirage-like sparkling city that literally lies in the middle of nowhere. Incredible. We drove in down the strip, past the iconic Vegas sign and every other glittering one along the way. The Cosmopolitan was our home for the week and can I just say wow. Check out my room. How could I resist taking a mirror selfie?... This dress is my new fave, I love khaki for blondes. Unfortunately this style is sold out now but there's a few other styles in the same shade here  (so feminine!), here  (a total steal) and here  (for a hint of military!) Back to the room, which was totally dreamy, I never wanted to leave and it had the most comfortable bed of my life. I guess they’ve got all

Suitcase. Neuschwanstein, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
At just 8 years old I discovered that Walt Disney's castle was inspired by Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. 18 years later I found myself climbing the road to this magnificent, dream-like castle. My fairytale was right in front of me. Located in the very southern region of Germany, Neuschwanstein is truly a sight to behold yet despite its grand romanticist exterior, the castle is only a third complete on the inside. Constructed over 17 years, it was King Ludwig's castle, a man fascinated with the fantastical and dream-like. Yet his untimely death aged just 42 caused all construction to cease in 1886. The castle would never be finished. It has fascinated me to no end over all these years that such a beautiful and iconic building holds mainly ghostly rooms and empty halls. It's beautiful yet sad, as the best romantic tales often are. Nestled in the mountains, Neuswanstein looms over the valley above the town of Schwangau. I'd driven from Tegernsee to reach it and as I first rou
