Quick weekend recap (yes we’re back to normal scheduling again) of a wedding in the vvv west of wales 💒

I’ve known about this wedding for about a year or so and yet still managed to leave my outfit planning until the day before when the Mango box arrived to Wales. Every time I say I will be prepared weeeeks in advance so I won’t be stressed and yet every time I’m down to the last minute panic.

Is there a known cause for this and can it be treated 🥲

48 hours in Berlin! 🇩🇪

It was a v quick trip but we racked up 60,000 steps over the two days and safe to say my feet needed a rest afterwards.

But we got all the main things to see ticked off the list ✅ and now onto the next one on Thursday for an extended weekend in my favourite country!

Week 2 in the office x

I’m a Pret girl now because £25 per month for up to 5x coffees a day yes sir (although I do v much miss Starbucks coffee I won’t lie)

Main takeaways from week 2 are I’m going to gain lots of weight if I keep going to the office and eating the cupcakes and croissants but we’re also not out here trying to lose 16lbs in 3 weeks to fit into a dress for all of five mins so I will enjoy the cupcakes

Last week’s books were also vv enjoyable (None of this is Serious) and sad (Joan Didion) and I need to post about 20 book reviews on my stories but slowly adjusting to being a city gurl and not having time for absolutely anything so bear with x

hello and welcome to my first week at my new jobbb

I think this will be a cute little dump every week to look back on my week at work (see, we romanticise everything here) and what I get up to since I’ll be heading into the office the odd day too x

My first week included a visit to the BAFTA headquarters for a panel talk on attention which was v cool

The books I read in March 📚

I neeeed to stop taking books out of the library or else I won’t get through the 70+ books I have on my shelves.

However I did manage to read some good library books in March and added in March’s @booksthatmatteruk book and one I picked up from @shakespeareandcoparis on my jollies so only one book slipped off my actual book shelf last month 🥲

My faves in March:
• The Innocent
• How to be Famous
• Noughts & Crosses
• Bridget Jones’s Diary
• Invisible Girl
