Coffee Break

Whenever I'm in London it always seems like there is never enough hours in the day. I never get to do everything I want to fit in when I'm down here. Having a little break to sit and watch the busy world go by is one of them. Even though it was short I was able to have a little sit down just off Oxford Street to have a naughty caramel mocha treat. After all the walking I did I definitely need it. Also here is a sneak peak at my beautiful new handbag from TopShop. I'm sure you'll all be able to spot this in many shoots and maybe a little feature on it soon. Definitely need to book time down here just to have some exploring and reflecting days without any busy appointments and rushed schedules. The perfect city to get lost in.

Tower Bridge Visit

The beautiful and historic City of London is always so welcoming when I come to visit but I decided to give a little back this time by visiting a few iconic land marks that are held in this British wonderland.

A whistle stop tour was all I was able to fit in with Tower Bridge but I am so glad I had time to pass through and see how spectacular it really is. London is full of gems that I don't think we appreciate enough so being able to soak up the atmosphere of excitement at this historic land mark was a wonderful way to spend a morning before a busy lunch and afternoon in London's City centre. 

The Tower Of London Remember

If there is a place I will never get bored of coming to it's London. Always full of amazing sites and exciting events so I couldn't visit without seeing the stunning array of poppies around the tower of London. The ongoing growth of poppies is such a beautiful way to remember each fallen soldier from the war but it also very moving to see the impact of the amount of lives that were taken. Each single poppy represents one lost life of a soldier that was lost and there are now hundreds of poppies placed around the grounds, which is so emotional to see.

Having walked over Tower Bridge to see the views across the river it brings you out right next to the Tower of London. Following the road along it cuts down into the gardens of the castle to allow you to view it from all the way around. It's a lovely walk to see volunteers placing the poppies in the pattern right around the grounds which is also a big wake up call to all the effort this has taken, all the time and how each life lost is so important to reflect in the exhibit. 

Feel very lucky to be able to experience this while being here in one of my favourite cities. Sorry that the photos cannot express the magnitude of this wonderful expression of art but if you are in London or going soon you have to experience it for yourself.

Summer Evenings

It's here! After lots of teasers and a wonderful mention in an interview with StreetStyleVibes here are my favourite photos of the evening beach shoot. I always feel at home by the sea no matter where it is but Cornwall will always be so special to me; it will always be home. Being able to do shoots in such a special place really makes me realise how lucky I am to have the lifestyle that I do. 

This shoot had perfect evening summer lighting, with the sun creating a sunset glow on all the images which I love as my hair looks so auburn. I love how exotic Cornwall looks, its like the Uks' hidden gem with its own mini climate. Paradise!

Warm air, sun on your skin and a light breeze is the perfect kind of weather and this day was just that; total bliss. They say the best things in life are free, and just going to the beach on a sunny evening soaking up the rays and totally chilling out is definitely one of those things. Summer isn't over yet so get out there and make the most of it!

Positive Treats

A positive mind leads to a positive life. I try to focus on the positives; even at the hardest times there is something to be thankful for. Today I treated myself to a new Pandora Essence charm that represents "Positivity". Right now I am so thankful to everyone who is making my blog bigger and better and giving me wonderful feedback. Finally I'm feeling like I am on the right path and it's such a wonderful uplifting feeling so this was my treat to myself, so I can remember this when I'm feeling a bit worse for wear. 

This range of Pandora speaks to everyone and I love things that have meanings, that can be made personal. This fits perfectly for the point I am at in my life, so just wanted to share it with you all.

Always believe in yourself, ignore the haters and fight on. People who try to bring you down are already beneath you so move on and leave them behind. Can't wait to have this little beauty in some shoots. See if you can spot it in some up and coming shoots I have planned very soon.
