FASHION: TATTOOS ARE PRETTY THINGS

Something very exciting happened last week- I got my first tattoo! And in true moon child style I went for something a little bohemian...

I wish this was my tattoo... but it's a little big for me! ;)

BEAUTY: PRETTY IN PASTELS

Come in close... Closer... Perfect!
It's no secret that pastels are all in fashion this season, with mint greens, pale pinks and baby blues gracing the shelves of almost every store but a trend that is becoming increasingly popular is....

BEAUTY: A DRINK IN MY HAND, MY SNOW UP AGAINST THE BURNING SAND

 CHANNELING THE SUMMER VIBES

So if you follow this blog, you'll know that a little while ago I had the existential crisis of deciding what hair colour to have AND what new skills/hobbies to learn over the summer. Well my friends, the fates have decided and here are the results....

FASHION: OH I WISH I WAS A PUNK ROCKER....

... WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIR

There were many people who debate my personal style and I used to be one of them but looking back over some old photos, it kind of hit me that actually, I'm a bit of a flower child at heart.............

Those Hippie Vibes...

FASHION: VELVET BUTTERFLIES AND CHAMPAGNE DREAMS

Well, spring is finally arriving here in Lyon as you may have seen in my Spring Wishlist post last week and to get ready for a new season I treated myself to a new dress from Cage City, who stock brands of all kinds of boho and vintage goodness. 

I ordered the gypset dress, pictured above, and eagerly awaited its arrival! The results are in and I am incredibly impressed! Mink Pink have gone and done it again!!

LIFESTYLE: GETTING TO KNOW YOU, GETTING TO KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU!

CATE DOES THE "GET TO KNOW ME" TAG

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY ONE AND ALL!! 

So I decided to do something a little different today, even though this blog is primarily beauty and fashion, I thought it might be a nice idea if we all got to know each other a little more and what better way to do it than settling down with pancakes and answering a few questions?! The Get To Know Me tag as I am new to most people (unless you follow sassylassy16up.com) and as my good friend Jess did a tag on this, I thought I would steal her idea! ;) Also brownie points to anyone who can name the kids film I got the title of this post from-- hint: it's set in Siam! 

TRAVEL: SUNSHINE ON THE WINDOWS, GLITTER IN THE RAIN

TRAVEL TO: BUTTERFLY VALLEY, TURKEY

 If you're looking for a holiday hot spot then I will rave wonders about The Turquoise Coast in Turkey. More commonly known as Dalaman, this area of Turkey is stunning. The beaches are not soft golden sands admittedly, but the scenery, ocean and weather makes up for it! 

The place I loved most when visiting Calis Beach, was the day trip I took to Faralya, in a village called Lycia. If hippies, free love and breath-taking views are your thing then this is the place to go.
