August Favourites!

Hi guys!

Wow, I can't believe it's almost September!

Fun fact of this post: August 5th came and went and it wasn't actually until recently that Steve and I remembered that that date marked our 6th month in London! So crazy how the time flew by like nothing and our to-do list isn't getting any shorter!
 

I've been trying to list down all the blog ideas that come to my mind but if there's one thing any creative person would know about, it's how ideas come to you at the most random times and sometimes you just have to satisfy yourself with oh I'll just file that away for later...and then never remembering it again.

Story of my life.

Anyway, so recently Steve and I have been doing a lot of traveling. Nothing major, just some small trips here and there, Stonehenge and Bath and Paris, (not including sightseeing around London). And between the never ending job hunt and playing 'tourist' I've discovered a lot of new bloggers out there that I've recently come to love and keep track of religiously, thank you, Instagram.
So in the spirit of the beauty/book/photo blogger concept, I've decided to try my hand at the Monthly Favourites theme. (I may or may not have also been looking for advice on some things girly seeing as my sisters and girlfriends are mostly now a half a world away, insert crying face here).

And so, without further ado and in no particular order - actually that's a lie because number 1 is probably my favourite and those of you who know me can easily tell why - let's kick things off with number 5! 

'Riverside' Brought Me Here!

Hi guys,

Another month gone by, I can't believe it's already August!

It's true what they say about time when you're having fun.

As someone who's a bit OCD about remembering everything in minute detail you can imagine how skitzo my brain gets as I struggle to document every. single. little. thing. we do. I hope you all know that I'm trying my best to write about all most of Stella's awesome adventures and we're always wishing that you all could share it with us.

So in saying that, here's another video recap of our first...concert? at Somerset House - which was an amazing venue, by the way. Being the 'foreigners' that we were, we actually didn't think to bring a mat like everyone who planned to sit on the cobbled floor (the place was open air - standing only). But the vibe was awesome. 

I never thought I'd see Agnes Obel in concert but thanks to Steve being the most awesome fiance, my thoughts have been proven wrong. Despite not being familiar with her new album, Aventine - which I am very familiar with now - I enjoyed it a lot.

Summer Bling Rings.

Hey everyone!

It is the most unfortunate thing to have small hands and fingers especially for someone such as myself who loves all things pretty and shiny.

I've never really been much for wearing rings, not because I don't like them but more because none of them ever fit me! I've had numerous occasions where I'm shopping and see so many cute accessories and get all excited about how pretty they are only to try on the smallest size and be disappointed that it's still too big.

Recently though, a really awesome trend has been surfacing. Or resurfacing? I'm not sure. Anyway...

Mid-rings!

Well, mid-rings for everyone else, but normal rings for me. Yay! 

Photo originally for my insta but what the hey. Come and visit me! @miss_3lla

Got this pretty thing at one of the accessory stalls in the market at Brick Lane. The guy kept trying to tell me it's a mid-ring and I replied by putting it on and showing him my tiny fingers, haha.

Hope this post finds you well for the weekend!
