Diptyque

I've always wanted to own a Diptyque perfume (how pretty is the packaging?) and when wondering around Liberty's last week I fell for Eau Duelle, a scent described as 'grown up spicy vanilla.' I really didn't think I would be able to own it for some time due to a disagreement with the price and my bank balance, but last week I remembered I'd won some John Lewis vouchers at work and promptly managed to pick myself up a bottle less than a third of the price.

White out

Despite being an advocate for mono-colour dressing, I've never really considered wearing white from head to toe, partly due to the fact that I am a magnet for spillages and smudges and also incredibly pale. I always thought you'd need to be dedicated to your tanning to make this look work. Alas, this guide from Whistles shows how the trend is actually a lot more wearable than you may think. 

Wild Belle

So, I just started to get into the swing of blogging and then spilt green tea on my MacBook who then consequently died a dramatic death. It was touch and go for about 10 minutes and then we lost him to the Mac question mark of death icon (never use your duvet as a coaster...I learnt the hard way). After a week of deliberating, I finally extracted some savings and got myself a little MacBook Air. My old Mac was considered 'vintage' so I'm still in awe of this little thing and I'm hoping it should make keeping this blog updated a lot more pleasurable. We're even off to Starbucks tomorrow together to write some posts!

On another note, on Wednesday, my new flatmate invited me along to see Wild Belle at the Green Door Store in Brighton. I'd been listening to them on and off after hearing a rather catchy song of their's on Sunday Brunch's Sunday Playlist on C4 (I'm so rock and roll these days). But since seeing them, I've become more than a little obsessed.

We also had a little chat to lead singer Natalie Bergman who was rather lovely and I developed a bit of a girl crush. I love her laid back 70s style and her brother was pretty hot too! Check out a couple of my favourite songs above.
