Faux Suede Jacket and Floral Print Dress

Hi friends,

With November standing on its last leg, we are approaching the "barely seen any daylight" time of the year, as we rush off to our lives early in the dark mornings and come home late in the afternoon. But not to worry, we are guided by the Christmas lights, which are slowly starting to be lit in the cities we live in, to lead the way for us through the dark and cold of the next few weeks to come. 

I am, however already in a new year set of mind, as always living a few months ahead, recently I have been thinking of the year gone by, of the major and minor changes in my life and how weirdly, at the same time it has been one of the best and equally hardest years of my life.

Hi friends,

October flew by like it never has before. I swear - the time in London goes quicker than anywhere else in the world, and there is simple never, ever enough minutes in an hour and enough hours in a day. But, there are no complaints here, as it is bringing us closer to the most amazing time of the year.

For those of you who know your girl aka me well, will not be surprised of the fact that I have started playing Christmas songs already and purchased additional decorations, which I am well aware my one tree will purely not have enough space for. This month has been filled with friends and family, heart warming conversations and settling in. Creating parts of London that are my own. 

Lace Dress and Morris & Co Patterned Jacket

Hi, lovely people,

I would never think I would say this, but as my room is filled with with the scent of rain and pumpkin spice candles, I am overjoyed that the never ending London summer has left us for good. After rain the dust settles and the air is fresh again (as fresh as it can be around this corner of the woods). I've always thought the city is a great place to hide, but the country is the best place to escape to. Especially this time of the year - I miss being able to walk through the woods, undisturbed by the outside, left alone. 

After 6 years living here I rarely get home sick, I miss my family and my people constantly, but the place, the environment I called home for the first 19 years of my life I hardly ever yearn for. And if I do, these feelings are usually brought up by the people still occupying these places.

Hi friends,

As much as I enjoy travelling and discovering new places, I am very much a home comforts kind of a gal. Especially, this time of the year when we see less of the sun, there is a chill in the air and you are required to wear your warm socks to avoid the ever so annoying cold toes. Most of the people will do their big house clean in Spring, I tend to do mine in Autumn. I like to prepare my home for those cold, cozy nights spent on the couch with a cup of tea and 2nd pack of biscuits going while watching re-runs of Gilmore Girls. I like to know, that after the hustle and bustle of the city, I have my own safe space, where I can re-charge, re-center and face the next day again.
