When travelling I like having a mix of discovering new places myself, maybe a hidden coffee shop. To tracking down places that have come highly recommended or that I have read about on other Blogs, I love reading City Guides on other blogs & this is how I cam across the Parisian gem that was Merci.
Last weekend was a crazy whirlwind in Paris, it was everything I wanted it to be. After a busy few days this weekend I will be having cocktails with my favourite girlfriends, having a Netflix marathon & getting lost in a stack of magazines.
I am currently surrounded by my open suitcase, a line of shoes & a pile of clothes as I pack my case for a long weekend in the beautiful city of Paris! It’s been too long since I have been there, we really have no plans for our time there & can’t wait to eat macaroons as we wonder & explore what the city has to offer.
A couple of weeks ago me & my boyfriend had a weekend away at The Ashton a beautiful Georgian house that has been renovated to an ultra stylish B&B. I couldn’t wait to visit this place the pictures I had seen already had me really looking forward to our stay & it didn’t disappoint.
Weekend Reading List, a new feature that is replacing what used to be the ‘Weekly Top 5.’ Ever Friday you can now get your dose of what happened in the week just gone, what’s just in ‘Hot Off The Press’ & some of my own weekly favourites.
This week has been crazy busy with the launch of Abigail Alice & having a nasty cold the whole week hasn’t been very nice. So this weekend I plan to get wrapped up in some of my favourite comfies get lost in my book which I will share with you next week in the new Book Club & plan what to pack for my trip to Paris next Friday!
Being from Liverpool the Grand National (horse racing event) is pretty big in the city. I remember from a really young age my Mum & Dad going with a group of their closest friends, all dressed up & making a lovely day of it. As I got older & became more aware of what the event was I noticed that even if I wasn’t going or it was the National Day itself then that’s reason enough to get together with friends & family to enjoy it. I first went when I was 17 & was so excited to finally be going to the Races, looking back I must have looked like a baby but I felt so grown up. Part of going to the Races is picking your outfit & trust me it is no easy job to do, ladies really pull out all the stops.
Accessorising any outfit can always be fun & at the moment there seems to be no better way then adding a few charms from your handbag. If you were like me & constantly scrolling through your Instagram feed during Fashion Week then you will have seen an abundance of charms swinging from the Fashion elite handbags & the more the better seemed to be the motto.
The pages of Abigail Alice are filled with all my favourite things & so much more that I wanted to share with you all.
