Don't get me wrong I love all fashion weeks and all the shows but my all time favourite show every year will always be the Victoria Secrets Show. Those Angels are unbelievable! And last night did not disappoint with Kendall and Gigi's debuts.

Sydney: Adventure List

So it is a miserable foggy winters day here in England and one of my oldest friends has messaged to say he has just arrived in Sydney! I COULD NOT BE MORE JEALOUS! If someone gave me the opportunity to move to Sydney I wouldn't even think twice. You get the best of both worlds, a vibrant city and all the beaches! If you ever go to the land of Oz I'd recommend the following:

- check out all the surfers on Bondi Beach
- visit the iconic Opera House
- take a summers walk around the Botanic gardens and along the harbour
- look over Sydney from the Tower Eye
- climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, a phenomenal experience!
- relive your childhood at Luna Park
- take in all the views walking from Bondi beach to Coogee beach
- go see where the cast of Home & Away spend most of their days at Palm Beach, if you're lucky enough they may even be filming on the day you visit
- see the incredible fireworks show at Darling Harbour every Saturday Night
- look over the Harbour from the Pylon Lookout
- visit the Sydney Olympic pools
- experience a zoo like no other with wildlife you have never seen before at Toronga Zoo
- take a ferry across to Manly
- look out for dolphins at Manly beach

Travelling Tips

I'm having one of those days where my travelling blues are hitting hard! Sat in the office wishing I was in a beach in South Thailand or just wondering around the harbour in Sydney....if only! Over the next few months you will see me post regular 'Adventures Lists' for all the various places I have been fortunate enough to visit. The lists are basically just little to do list of things I recommend for you to do and see. But before we get to the good parts I thought I would share with you a few handy tips for your travels

1. TRAVEL JOURNAL! Probably the cheapest of all my favourite possessions but in my eyes it is worth millions and billions of pounds. Every day I wrote down what I had done, who I met, what I saw, where I ate and all the little funny anecdotes along the way. I love that now I can snuggle up in bed with a cuppa and read over my most favourite adventure 

2. Roll don't fold! You can fit in so much more in your back pack if you roll your clothes and not fold them. You can tuck them into all the little nooks and crannies making the most of the very limited space you have

3. On the subject of packing I cannot emphasise enough DON'T OVERPACK! I know more than anyone that this is easier said than done (after all I am the girl who packed 6 pairs of trainers, 2 pairs of sandals and 2 pairs of flip flops for just 4 days in Ibiza) But think the more you pack the more you have to carry around on your back. You can't go wrong with versatile basic items!

4. Chose the liner not the bag! Now I don't mean your MAC eyeliner over your Mulberry, I'm talking about your sleeping bag.  Trust me there was never a night that I needed a sleeping bag so it was a good job I didn't pack one. Instead I packed a fleece sleeping bag liner, this came in handy a lot especially for those cold overnight journeys

5. Talking of over night journeys, do as many as possible! Not only is it cheaper in terms of travel, it is also cheaper in terms of accommodation. Think about...one night on a coach whilst on your way to your next destination or a night in a hotel and still having to pay for your transport te next day to your next destination. Plus who wants to waste a day travelling when you could be doing activities, just travel at night whilst you are sleep

6. If you're travelling solo then hostels will be the cheapest option for you as you are just paying for a bed but if you are travelling in a pair or a group check out prices of a hotel or a private room in a hostel. Sometimes it works out cheaper to pay for a room rather then a few single beds in a hostel, particularly in South East Asia

7. Download Hostelword app and Lonely Planet Guide app, these will become your best friends! 

8. Don't plan or book everything too far ahead. It's good to be organise and majority of the time you get better deals booking in advance.  But what if you fall in love with a place and want to stay there longer, or the opposite and you hate somewhere but aren't scheduled to leave for a another week.  Have a rough guideline of where you want to go to and obviously in terms of bookig flights then yes get those sorted in advance. But in most cases go with the flow when it comes to trains, coaches, ferries, accommodation. 

9. FLUFFY SOCKS! Sounds stupid but you will regret not taking these. Those cold nights in the hostel or when the aircon is ridiculous on a plane you will wish you had your fluffy socks. 

10. TIGER BALM! Need I say more, the cure for everything!

But above all else stay safe and have fun! This will be most incredible experience of your life!

Edinburgh: Adventure List

As you all know last weekend I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Edinburgh celebrating one of my friend's 21st birthday. I had such a fun weekend so thought I would share with you an Edinburgh Bucket List if you were ever to take a trip to the Scottish capital.

- Visit the castle
- Walk up to Arthur's chair
- Try a burger and milkshake at The Boozy Cow
- Chocolate Lounge, 4th Floor Harvey Nicols 
- Walk along the Royal Mile
- Visit the Tartan Weaving Mill 
- Whisky Experience
- Afternoon Tea at The Tower
- Dinner with the best view at Chaophraya 
- Shake your booty at Opal Lounge!

Tartan Weaving Mill, Edinburgh

This weekend I went on a little adventure up to Edinburgh, Scotland to celebrate my friend's 21st birthday.  Although it included a lot of alcohol and dancing we managed to fit in a few touristy things.  When we visited the castle we found the Tartan Weaving Mill along the Royal Mile. Nostalgia hit me, and it took me right back to my student years spending my days in and out of the weave and print studio. Although in the end I specialised in print, I did complete a few modules in woven textiles. It felt so familiar being around looms, cone winders and dye VATs again. I'd recommend a visit here if any of you ever go to Edinburgh, especially as the gift shop sells some amazing woven goodies!
