10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week



So, after many months (well 2, but look at that sunshine!) I found this one saved in my drafts. A massive desire for sunshine right now means I couldn't not share it and I already have massive cravings for all of the food, drinks and girly time that happened in this lovely week back at the start of September. As we sit here in long socks, big jumpers and snuggled up in blankets here's a quick look back to sunnier times... 

This week was a lovely one. A sunny weekend, so much girly time, holiday planning and wine drinking. New nails, brunch eating, a puppy visit and a little cooking sesh. Here's the things that have stood out this week...

10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week


This week seems to have been ridiculously busy. I made a plan every evening and was exhausted by the end of the week. Am I the only one that actually likes heading straight home after work?! (Old before my time...). It was a good one though and here are a few of the things that made it...

10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week


Hello blog. Its been a long time. Apologies for that. London has a way of filling your time, ensuring you are exhausted, satisfied and yet somehow simultaneously ready for the next adventure and the last few months have been non-stop.

10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week


I've been playing catch up in all areas of my life at the moment and constantly feel like I'm one step behind. London living, new job and life admin are busy busy busy and blogging has been the thing to take a back seat. I've been poorly for the last couple of days and couldn't face the tube in my dizzy state this morning so am having a sleeping day which was very necessary. My drafts have been filled with all of the adventures I want to share from the past few weeks but I thought I would start with the things that have been making me happy this week. When life is busy its nice to note how important the small things are.


Images via my Pinterest 


1) Louis' naming ceremony. My godson had his naming ceremony on Sunday. We ate scones, drank champagne, chatted and caught up with family and friends at a vineyard in Essex. Perfect day.

2) Seeing the leaves begin to turn colour and fall from the trees. I love this time of year. Knowing that winter boots are just round the corner makes me very happy.

3) Scarves. The saviour to tube travel when its not quite cold enough for a coat.

4) Coming back to my London flat. Drama free, clean and always with a full fridge. The contrast and atmosphere compared to uni living is unbelievable and I'm so enjoying it.

5) 4 days with the boy in London. Hasn't happened for a long time and was chilled out and lovely.

6) Responsibility at work. I'm running 4 events within a month of each other and finding the challenge so exciting.

7) Knowing that home, mummy, family and the countryside are only ever an hour away.

8) The fact that my big brother is on Grand Designs tonight ahhhh! I love that programme so my excitement levels are massive right now!

9) Charity shop shopping. Dalston has the gem of a charity shop. £2.99 an item and the rails are filled with Hobbs, Zara and Topshop among numerous vintage finds.

10) Making weekend plans for London exploring, wandering and discovering and aiming to fit in a trip to Columbia Road flower market on Sunday morning too.

10 things that have made me happy this week...


1) Cheese night! Camembert, Edam mmmm; the blue not so much! A perfect spontaneous night with my house followed by a trashy movie!

2) Autumn leaves everywhere I go. What's not to love.

3) Walking out of my house on crisp winter mornings. Even it the day isn't that exciting the Zara coat that I get to put on makes everything okay.

4) The boy. Chatting, chilling and laughing. There has been lots of that this week. 

5) Seeing the Christmas lights for the first time in Brighton. I was like a child. Fireworks and Chriatmas are definitely my weaknesses!! 

6) Making plans for Chriatmas with my home favorites. I can't wait to go back to the countryside and see everyone already! There will undoubtedly be a lot of wine/cider involved as per and no doubt at least a few hilarious stories to be told! 

7) A fabulous sports luxe shoot for the magazine I edit, Promenade. The website is coming soon so watch this space! 

8) A delish supper out with friends. They really are the best. 

9) A little bit of a shopping trip to reward the efforts of the week - new jeans and lacy tops anyone?

10) And finally, 7000 words. Done! It's felt like a lifetime and I'm so glad these little babies are now safely in the hands of the school office!

10 things that have made me happy this week...



1) Letters from my gorgeous niece and big sister. Post is good, this kind of post is the best!

2) Halloween with my favourites. Dressing up, drinking too much and being silly never grows old. Incredible costumes just makes it even better!

3) Ice lolly hangover cures.

4) Zara. Better than usual at the moment and its normally pretty fab. I can't stop popping in to my local Brighton store and visits are now reaching at least once a week. Whoopssss! Also, their coats. Oh wow, their coats. If you haven't checked them out yet, do. 

5) Crunching in Autumn leaves wherever i go.

6) Parties. I've had two this week. A 22nd in town for my housemate and last night a 1920s inspired 21st. There is nothing better than a good house party! (My work/hangovers may be suffering but heyyy, there's still 17 days left to get those essays done so sure it'll be fine!)

7) Gossip girl. I've started from season 1 again. I don't think that it will ever get old and is the most perfect programme for chilly winter evenings.

8) Food. Yep, just generally! I haven't been feeling cooking this week but last night's supper was delish and I think got the whole cooking thing back on track. Roll on the market on Tuesday with its gorgeously colourful fruit and veg.

9) Cinema times with the boy. We saw Captain Phillips, with lots of popcorn, and sweeties. Its good, really good. Check it out!

10) And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, my new duvet. Its incredible. In fact, I'm not even sure if there are any words to describe it. Lets just say everyones been in my bed this week, (and there was even a little cheeky bit of Madagascar watching under the covers at one point!) mmmhhhh!

Life Lately #5

Finally home and free from exams so blog updates will become a regular occurrence once more - I have lots of things to share including a couple of fab new brands and of course a review of the fabulous opening show at Brighton Fashion Week, Zeitgeist. Here's a quick catch up from my week...


VIP tickets at Brighton Fashion Week ad the delish Tasty Little Numbers that were included in the goody bags.


End of exams in London, chilling out with my sister and niece in the sunshine.


Playtime!


Selling Saima Majid scarves at Spitalfields designers and makers boutique on Saturday - it's on one a month and is worth checking out. Blog post on one of the gorgeous jewellery brands to follow!


Delish cakes from Flavourtown Bake at Spitalfields. I couldn't resist the salted caramel although the Pimms special was incredibly tempting too!!


Heaven in a box!


And this little sign rings very very true...



More food porn, so tempting and the tasters went down very well indeed!

After the day at Sptalfields, I met mummy for celebratory end of second year Prosecco at Bedales, a really cute wine bar on the edge of the market. My sisters and niece popped along too and I was incredibly impressed at my nieces ability to flirt with and win over prett much all of the gorgeous Italian men in the bar- she's not even one yet, goodness knows what she'll be like when she's 20!


Car boot sale treasures; one of the best bits about coming home. [Vintage case, 50p; cushions, 10p each, Catwalk shampoo and conditioner; £2 each].


Brand new shoes, 50p. Gorgeous, summery and perfect with a little dress!


And incredible brand new Spanish boots, £1. Wedged heel, and will look fab with leggings or jeans on a winter eve!


And possibly the best find of the boot sale, Vero Moda dress, £3.


Being home as the tide comes in over the Estuary.


And gorgeous flowers on the windowsill. Home comforts and its definitely the little things - a full fridge being one of them! I'm so glad that summer has finally arrived! <3
