Rained On

Carrie WishWishWish

If I look a bit wet in this post, well, that’s because I am. We had a spare 1o minutes before we were due to join a tour whilst on a trip to Glasgow, and unlike normal people who might seek shelter in the rain, I thought it might be a good idea to get a few outfit shots. I’m not sure my hair thanked me for it…

London Shopping: Smug

SMUG is very well-loved amongst us Londoners with a love for design and house plants – and it’s for that reason that it’s taken me this long to write about it here on the blog. Sometimes I think “oh, but that’s so obvious – EVERYONE knows about it already” when it comes to posting recommendations for places in my own city, but more often than these posts aren’t for the Londoners, but for those of you looking to visit. If you’re one of those people, this is why SMUG should be on your list!

Lonely Hearts Club

I’ve told myself repeatedly to stop wearing novelty outfits. When you’re nearing 30 I’m not sure it’s quite as cute anymore to dress up like you’re going to a themed party for every occassion. I guess this outfit kind of falls into that category…so I’m clearly never going to follow my own advice. But it’s all fun, and I think not wearing these red trousers to mark Valentine’s Day would be some sort of crime.

A Love Letter to my New Eyebrows

Carrie Santana da Silva

So, the term microblading doesn’t exactly lead you to believe it’s a relaxing procedure. It has the word blade in it after all. Despite being a total wimp when it comes to hair removal, I was sure that after a couple of tattoos I’d be able to handle it...

Finding the One

Carrie WishWishWish

Have you ever had that thing where you fall in love with a piece of clothing that you find out went out of stores a year prior to your new-found obsession? I have. Plenty of times. It starts with the initial Googling, trying to work out which collection it was from, shortly followed by visits to just about every clothing re-sale site you can think of. After searching (using multiple keyword combinations) and realising that one in two sizes smaller than you’d normally wear was sold just three days ago, you mourn your loss, because you probably would have bought it anyway at this point.
