The second installation in the sundress season; thanks for all your positive responses to my whitewash post! It seems silly writing it on such a miserable day, but I suppose we can try and inspire the weather to follow our lead. Stripes are always a surefire for summer style; here are a few of my favourites…
Sundress Season – Whitewash
I’m really enjoying my summer style at the moment, as I’m sure you can tell from my post on sandals last week! Over the next few weeks, I’m bringing you the latest haul of reasonably-priced dresses you can throw on over your bedhead and wear all day (and night!). This week is centered around my…

The Tynemouth Food Festival
Following a few teaser posts on my Instagram, it’s about time I gave a bit of detail about the Tynemouth Food Festival. After a day of exploring the food markets and stalls, as well as grabbing a spot of lunch, I’ve sat down to collate all my favourites in two handy little posts for you! The…
Beauty spotlight – Smashbox haul
After years of battling with tinted moisturisers and gradual face tanners, I have finally caved and decided I need some proper makeup. So, I grabbed my debit card, steeled myself, and delved into the makeup counters at the Metrocentre. Plagued by good reviews from friends (and strangers!) I headed straight for the Smashbox counter. The…
Girls night – Cabana
After a big dissertation hand-in, it was finally time for a girly catchup. I hadn’t seen these two in forever, so where better to head than one of the hottest new openings in town; Brazilian-themed Cabana. Festoon lighting, a South American-inspired menu and 2-4-1 on cocktails before 7 or after 10 (and not poorly priced between…
It’s a date – Riley’s Fish Shack

Spring cleaning: Bedroom-ize
Get it? Bedroom eyes? Small confession; I’m a trinket hoe. Mood boards? Inspiring lampshades that cost the earth? Tiny little bowls that never really have a purpose but are super super cute? Right up my street. Thanks for joining me on my first foray into homewares blogging; if you like it, let me know in…

The It-girl staple anyone can wear? From Alexa Chung to Gigi Hadid, if you’re not wearing a fresh pair of bright white sneakers, you need to go home and change. Perfect to take you from work, to drinks, and all the way out on the town. Here are a few of my favourites on the…

New-wave Italian with a clean, fresh taste and innovative recipes, the menu caters for everything from light lunch bites to full dinners, touching on pastries and take-out mini-pizzas, a range of Italian antipasto and oils and pasta for your home cooking….
Navaho, Jesmond
Just a quick one from me today guys. Ever since new coffee shop Navaho reopened on Acorn Road, I’ve been curious to pop in. What exactly is it? Coffee shop or cafe? What type of food qualifies as Native American and how has it been translated into British tastes? So (obviously), I had to make an excuse…
