Four Days In Florence

We all have THAT person in our lives.

You know, the one who somehow gets invited to a wedding abroad and consequently posts endless Instagrams proving how sunny and glam and perfect a time they’re having, and you basically hate them because you think your life will never be like that?

Well, guess what?

I WAS TOTALLY THAT PERSON!

The Time I Ran a Half Marathon and My Trousers Fell Down

I seem to have misplaced my left eye.

Recently I ran my first ever half marathon. This is ridiculous not only because a) I look like Phoebe from Friends when I run and b) no matter what I do, my leggings always fall down a bit (no, Mr Short Shorts from the park, I am not bum flirting with you); but mostly because it turns out that 13.1 miles is actually a really, really freaking long way.

Why You Should Wear a Fluffy Coat this Winter

I’ve never been fashionable. I mean, I like clothes, but I’ve never quite got there with the whole ‘bang on trend’ thing. Not through a lack of trying – just because the universe is utterly against it happening.

I rock a pair of Nike Air Max, people tell me it’s good I’m going to the gym. I wear a quilted skirt, people ask why I’m wearing half a sleeping bag. I buy a vintage jacket and people sing ‘Climb Every Mountain’ because apparently I look like I’m wearing the Sound of Music curtain outfit (the most offensive thing there being the weak song choice, of course).

So when I read that fluffy coats are IN this winter, you can only imagine how excited I was… because I ALREADY OWN A FLUFFY COAT.

I am fashion!!!

My Holiday Adventures: Thailand/Cambodia 2014

Good face

There weren’t supposed to be any adventures.

At least, that was what Matt and I told ourselves afterwards. Our holiday to Thailand and Cambodia was meant to be about relaxing, getting a tan (and possibly nose peel) and drinking ALL OF THE CHANG.

And that was it.

Because Asia adventures are for people who want to go see the world, like my sister and her boyfriend (see her brilliant and bonkers blog for more details more on that).

They’re for students who want to drink snake’s blood and talk loudly about how lame all other backpackers are but how GREAT jazz music is.

They’re for people who are having a mid-life crisis and want to learn about the world, learn about themselves… or, you know, just make out like teenagers underwater to an All Saints soundtrack.

They’re not for people who go away for three weeks.

Or so we thought.

Why You Should Take Up Running This Summer

Why Buffy is Still the Greatest TV Series of All Time

My New Year’s Eve was a disaster. A total and utter disaster.

I chose to spend it in a little pub in the middle of nowhere, so far from civilisation that my only way home was a lift at ten past midnight. It was a rowdy place and my evening mainly consisted of loud squawking bagpipes and old men in embellished waistcoats trying to grind against me on the dancefloor.

Yep. So far, it was shaping up to be one of the best nights of my life.
