A few pieces that are always on my mind

Now this might slightly contrast what you usually read on other blogs about as I'm going to discuss some pieces that I adore, however they are not yet in my possession. So imagine it as a kind of almost what's in my bag as I am a student and these are some luxury products.

Firstly, this gorgeous Gucci belt, now if you follow my twitter you might have seen me going on about it. I adore it for many reasons, its a statement belt yet it's still quite subtle and the initials GG is the same as one of my favourite tv shows Gilmore Girls, shock horror, I sound like a broken record. So I'm currently saving up for it and I'll hopefully be able to get in when I'm in New York in the New Year, fingers crossed.

Now onto this absolutely stunning Chloé bag, the Faye backpack, I have fallen so hard for this bag. I've seen that Estée has it in blue and I have seen a few other bloggers have the Faye handbag. Since then I've just been the heart eyed emoji. I just adore the silver detail, the suede touch and the shape, basically I love everything about this. I basically sit and pray for this daily!

Sorry if this was rather brief but I have had so much on this week from school work to rehearsals everything is just mental at the moment. I just felt I needed to share my love for these two beautiful pieces that I need in my life asap.

all my love

Theatre Attire Realness

Last week my mum, sister and I spontaneously booked tickets to go and see The Last Five Years starring Samantha Barks and Jonathan Bailey. So obviously I grabbed the chance with both horns to pull out the grey on grey ensemble! The show was absolutely incredible and it was so amazing that Jason Robert Brown, the man who originally wrote the score directed the piece. It was magical, I laughed, I cried and I just had the best time. A great distraction from everything that's happening at the moment. Don't even get me started. Anyway if you're in the London area and fancy seeing a great show I urge you to go and see it before its run ends, I believe it ends early December.

I apologise if you're getting tired of theatre related posts, but I just love them.

A Reflection on Halloween

Halloween is a time for fun, friends and expressing your inner freak. This year I decided to go in drag. However not with the intention of it being a Halloween costume but rather to commemorate past queens whom for them Halloween was the only day of the year that a man would not be persecuted for dressing in women's clothing. So this is for you my sisters and I feel proud that now we live in a world where you can dress up in drag and not get ridiculed but instead being told that you're fierce. 

I hope that you all have had a great Halloween and enjoyed getting all dressed up and just having a good time with friends/family. It's always nice to appreciate what we have and it's great that in today's world we don't have to think about what we can and can't be, we can just be. 

Lots of love, G x

12 hours in Paris

Another early wake up call, 5am I've decided is a truly ungodly hour and it should not be seen. Anyway at least there was a valid reason to wake up that early, to venture to the city of love. Paris is one of my favourite cities and I was completely blown away again by the beautiful architecture, the street style, the shops, the food. The list could continue forever. A group of friends and I went for my friend's 18th. 

It was so refreshing to go to another city abroad and just escape for the day. I have a deep love for France and I have completely fallen head over heels with the romantic ambiance since I was very young. As Abba says "walks along the Saine, laughing in the rain, our last summer memories that remain". It's just a magical city and I adore it. Sorry for that soppy paragraph, it just puts a spell on you. 

I think the highlight of my day was walking around the vintage shops, we went to this shop called Episode where I bought some dockers trousers for €25! Bargain! And some €10 glasses I couldn't resist, because if you know me, you'll know I've wanted glasses since I was about 5 so I figured it was time to buy some even if they're not the Tom Ford ones I dream about. 

Overall we had such an eventful day, we had incredible sandwiches from this little boulangerie, crepes and chocolat chuads in this quaint cafe next to Killiwatch (a vintage shop). We got lost, went to the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre and took reams and reams of pictures. Just a great distraction from everyday life for the day. 

Even if going abroad isn't an option, I urge you to go somewhere different for the day and explore its so good for the mind and I feel it really gives me a new lease of life.

Let's have a chat, my loves.

I thought I'd start this little segment of my blog where I just write a really chatty, really relaxed post about what's in my head.

As I am writing this I am eating an enormous piece of cake from one of my favourite cafes, Juliets. If you're ever in Tunbridge Wells go there, it's divine. I'm scrolling through tinder and listening to Solange's new album, multi tasking at its finest!

I've been loving a lot things lately and I feel I just need to get them off my chest, for instance, The Color Purple, if you follow my twitter you will probably be sick and tired of hearing this but it is genuinely one of the greatest books I have ever read. I have so much love for Alice Walker and I would do anything to see the musical and Cynthia Erivo on Broadway. I think I'm actually going to do a whole post on it, just for my own enjoyment. So basically go read the book and if you're in New York go and see the show for me.

I have absolutely been loving podcasts lately, well as always but I've really been listening to lots of different ones, my favourites are of course Jules and Sarah the podcast, The PanDolly podcast and Ctrl Alt Delete by Emma Gannon. They are just brilliant and the best a compliment on a commute to school/work/wherever. I seriously urge you to check them out.

I saw Miss Saigon the 25th Anniversary at the cinema last week and it was just incredible. It was my third time seeing the show and it was so interesting to see it through a cinematic perspective. I have bundles of love for the show and I wish them all the luck when it airs on Broadway. If you're a Miss Saigon virgin I really suggest you go listen to the soundtrack and look out for when the DVD comes out.

I am terribly sorry that I've literally just rambled about musicals again as per. Anyway onto fashion, recently I have ventured into the world of black and navy, this might be controversial to some people. However Dolce and Gabbana have had it in their catwalk looks for quite a few seasons and it looks pretty nice. I've been subtly bringing it into my wardrobe wearing a black turtle neck with a navy collared jacket, some ripped vintage skinny jeans and some black boot converse. I know its not very groundbreaking or anything but I've really enjoyed playing with new ideas in my wardrobe even if its as little as putting black and navy together.

I have really been getting back into writing recently and I have been writing some things which I can't really discuss at the moment simply because I don't know what they are yet but I am just loving releasing my creative juices and seeing where they'll take me.

Sorry if this was just one huge ramble but I just wanted to have a really chatty and laid back post this week, like we just went for coffee or something. I'm trying to think of a name and try and amalgamate a little series of chats and conversations. Maybe Coffee and a Chinwag?

all the love and I hope you have a great week
