Christmas Gift Ideas: The Blogger

Olympus Pen Camera – via AMAZON
2016 Diary – PAPERCHASE
Mermaid Phone Case – Skinny Dip via ASOS
Weekend Bag – LONGCHAMP
#Girlboss by Sophie Amoruso – via AMAZON
For the final instalment of my Christmas Gift Ideas series, I just had to do a special one dedicated to all you blogger friends/family/colleagues out there. It cannot be a blogger essentials list without the Olympus Pen – the ultimate blogger camera, which I will definitely be buying with the help of some Christmas/birthday money come the new year. It is great because it’s super small, takes amazing photos, connects to wifi and has a flip down screen for those essential selfies.
Blogging take a lot of time, preparation, planning and motivation so as a blogger you need a way of organising yourself. Between this jazzy Paperchase diary, The Bloggers Planner notebook and the #Girlboss book for motivation, you will be on the right track to success. 
Even if you are not a travel blogger specifically, blogging will involve some travelling so it is important to have some decent luggage. This Longchamp bag is the perfect size for weekend trips and it’s a classic. And finally, all bloggers like a novelty phone case, am I right?
I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas Gifts Series! Check out The Fashionista PART ONE & PART TWO, THE HOME BIRD and THE TRAVELLER just below. Now I actually have to start making decisions and buying…!

Christmas Gift Ideas: The Fashionista, Part 2

Grey Coat – &OTHERSTORIES
Red Patterned Blouse – ASOS
Faux Fur Coat – TOPSHOP
Velvet Playsuit – MOTEL ROCKS
Jumper – ASOS
Patterned Shirt – ASOS
Culottes – DR DENIM
Patchwork Suede Skirt – ASOS

So here is part two of Christmas gift ideas for the fashionista in your life (see PART ONE just below). Again, I have picked a selection to suit different styles and budgets. A stand-out printed shirt or cosy jumper are perfect gifts for those of you with a small budget. At the other end of the spectrum, if you want to splash the cash, I am sure any girl would adore opening a multi-coloured fluffy parcel on Christmas day in the form of that amazing TOPSHOP fur coat. Also, suede skirts are an absolute must-have this season but they can be quite expensive so treat your fashionista to this gorgeous patchwork one!

I hope that gives you some ideas – which would you like under the tree this year?

Christmas Gift Ideas: The Fashionista, Part 1

Accessories Christmas Wishlist
Gold Cross Body Bag – MONKI
70s Choker – ASOS
Bobble Riding Cap – via ASOS
Backpack – KANKEN
Pompom Charm – TOPSHOP
Star Socks – ASOS
Sunglasses – RAY BAN
Hello December! Christmas is just around the corner so I have put together a little series of gift ideas grouped in themes. I’m kicking that off today with The Fashionista, Part 1 and accessories. Now admittedly these are not just gift ideas but also a personal wishlist. Even though I do believe that accessories can make an outfit, they are not always the first thing that I would choose to spend my money on so I think they can be great Christmas presents. Here you have a range of options to suit your budget – from the little touches like the star socks or pompom charm, to statement bags and investment piece like the Ray Ban sunnies and Daniel Wellington watch. 
I hope that has helped get the present juices going (sorry did that sound a bit weird?) and stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2 of the Fashionista – clothes!

Location: Passeig de Picasso, Barcelona
Barcelona has finally turned cold. Well…cold for Barcelona, so that meant getting out my beloved vintage Burberry trench coat for a chilly Sunday stroll last weekend. At weekends I often like to be super comfy and snug so I layered a classic denim shirt under an old black jumper and wore this loosely over my busted knee skinnies. According to ancient fashion mythology, one simply cannot wear black and navy together but, of course, I disagree. I think the trick is to layer different shades of black and blue and I reckon I’ve pulled this off rather nicely.
What do you think? 
Alors, il fait à Barcelone maintenant. Ça veut dire qu’il fait froid pour Barcelone du coups il fallait que je porte mon trench vintage de Burberry pour une balade fraîche dimanche dernier. Le weekend, j’aime bien m’habiller dans une façon confortable et douillette alors j’ai mis une chemise en jean classique en dessous d’envieux pull noir et je les ai porté ample avec mon jean skinny troué. Selon la mythologie de la mode, on ne peut pas porter du noir et du bleu foncé ensemble mais, moi, je ne suis pas d’accord. Je pense qu’il faut porter des couches des nuances différentes de noir et bleu foncé et je pense que j’ai réussi. 
Que pensez-vous?

It is no secret that I love shoes and this season it is boots in particular that I am obsessing over! Here are my top picks for AW15 that I will be struggling to choose from come pay day next week. I have just bought myself some classic suede-will-go-with-everything boots (which will be featured very soon on ‘ere) but it is just not enough. I definitely think I am going to get some fun, disco, shiny boots for the party season and the burgundy leather TOPSHOP ones are heavenly! Too many boots, too little time. Sigh.
Which are your favourite?
Ce n’est pas un secret que je kiffe des chaussures et cette saison je suis obsédée par des bottes! Voilà mes must-haves pour automne-hiver 15 et ce serait dûr de choisir entre tous quand la paie arrive la semaine prochaine! Je viens de m’acheter des bottes noirs en daim qui iront avec tous mais ça ne suffit pas! Je pense que je vais surement acheter des bottes fun et disco pour la saison de fête qui vient et je kiffe trop ces bottes bordeaux de TOPSHOP – elles sont parfaites! Trop de bottes, pas assez de temps. Soupir. 
Lesquelles sont vos préférées?
