Lanvin Love!

Raquel Zimmermann, Karen Elson and dancing...perfection! It's so nice to see movement instead of static models for a change, no? Again, love, love, love!

Have you seen the video?

This is shaping up to be one of my most favourite campaigns ever.

Bummer!

So I wanted to get my hair done and go back to this colour:

However, the hairdresser talked me out of it due to regrowth issues etc etc so they just gave me more blonde highlights. It's more blonde and very pretty and well done but now I can't help be a little disappointed every time I look in the mirror and get angry at myself. Ah well, maybe in a couple of months if I still want it I'll go back and stick to my guns!

Right, I have a birthday party tonight and nothing to wear so off to decide my outfit, do some tidying and be boring, heh. Have a good Saturday!

Blondie's good for travelling in.

Had a 2 hour car drive from Tulamben back to Ubud so decided something comfy but cool was needed.

Bali Photo Diary 3: Elephants

These elephants are rescued from logging camps in Sumatra and taken to Bali. They can't be taken back to Sumatra as their habitat is disappearing from the logging. Our elephant was called Tia and she's 28 years old. Best day of my life!

3 Weeks in Bali!

Hey guys. We got back yesterday after 3 weeks in Bali on the most amazing summer holiday. Today was spent sleeping in, doing laundry and sorting out all the photos from our hols. As well as psyching ourselves up to go back to work tomorrow after 3 weeks of pure relaxation and fun! I have so many photos for you guys but lets start with a few outfit pics from the first couple of days spent around Kuta.


Unfortunately managed to spill dinner on this dress on the first night and forgot to get it laundered, doh!

We've lived in Japan a long time so the fact that there's a Mark's in Bali was amazingly awesome for us! There's also a Topshop, Mothercare and Dorothy Perkins. It's a British invasion!

My new hat! Which Tom bargained like a pro for. Sadly I lost the band later in the holiday. Will show you how I rectified this later (and yes I'm super clumsy).





I actually wore this to the beach...got a few funny looks from most people wearing next to nothing as it's the beach but I didn't wanna burn, heh.

Hope you've all had an awesome summer too! There's many more pics to come soon.

Basking in Bali

Hey everyone. Currently in Bali blogging from my iPod touch. Sorry I've been AWOL for a few weeks. I've been busy sorting out visa extentions, tax forms, and buying a house in England!

I've also just recovered from a bout of Bali belly! Ate some rice today, yay! Heh.
We've spent a week here so far. We went to Kuta, which is like the Costa del Sol but with drunk and rowdy Australians instead of Brits. They have a Marks & Spencers and a Topshop, oh and a Dorothy Perkins! After living in Japan for 3 years this was rather exciting for us, haha!

We're now on a beautiful island called Nusa Lembongan, where despite getting sick we've had a great time. Tom's done 4 dives from here and we've watched the sunset on the beach every night. It's completey chilled and gorgeous. Tomorrow we're heading up to Ubud for some culture and an elephant safari. We have just under 2 weeks left.

When I'm back I'll have loads of pictures to upload.
Hope everyone is having a good summer break in the Northern Hemisphere and same for winter down South.
