One Day. Thank God It's Spring

So apparently being an Australian in the UK will make you sick. Literally. Believe me I should know, I've suffered through every cold and flu known to man, back to back since November. As soon as the weather got chilly, bang - sore throat, constant sneezing and deathly cough (I've been the girl people glance sideways at and shuffle away from for way. too. long.).

Last week I'd had it up to here. There is only so much soldiering on I can do so I took myself to see the doc.

As I have now learned, Aussies who are in the UK for their first winter might as well have a flu named after them; it's so common. "Oh yes another Aussie, you look very pale" she said to me. No kidding the sun virtually doesn't exist here and even when it does shine it hardly cuts through the Arctic breeze. "Your vitamin D levels are rock bottom." Again I blame your lack of sunshine. "I think you're run down and doing too much." Forgive me if I have a seize-the-day-you-only-live-once attitude. I've never been the kind of person to take a break.

Long story short I left with a list of vitamins as long as my arm and a countdown to today, because now it's official and all I can say is... thank god it's spring! I can already feel myself stirring from my wintery stupor - here's what I'm looking forward to...

Warmer weather. Duh. And with that comes longer days and warm weather holidays! If you’ve been a busy cultural-city-break-traveller this winter like me (phewf, sight-seeing is exhausting!) then never fear because it’s time to take a break. On a beach. Think sunshine and temperatures in the mid 20s. On my travel wish list: Spain, Greek Islands, Italian Coast, Tuscany, Croatia, Portugal…. You get the idea.


Lacy Delights. Check out these pretty new season arrivals from Adore Me in the perfect pastel spring shades. Whether you are wearing something pretty for yourself [ahem, single girls!] or some sexy lingerie for someone else, they’re sure to pack a feel-good punch. Everyone knows it’s what’s on the inside underneath that counts…

Flowers. I can't wait to whip out a pair of denim shorts (hello legs I knew you were there somewhere) and take a sunlit stroll through a flower-filled park. The daffodils are already popping up everywhere!

My Birthday. I get to have a springtime birthday for the first time this year! Having always been an autumn/broaching on winter baby (May 25), I'm pretty excited to do things the other way around.

Ice cream. I can’t wait to indulge in a one without chattering teeth! Tinkling music and crispy cones delight my fancy for the new season. Tastes like spring, smells like summer.

And finally... not being sick. See ya later winter.

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
