I Dare You...

See by Chloe

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for the beautiful new See by Chloe perfume by now, right? A group of mischievous girls playing spin the bottle (or perfume in this case) and a game of dares.

Now, it’s been a very long time since my last game of dares (I was lazy and would always pick truth, whilst other girls would go and talk to boys or something you find equally embarrassing as a teenager  - I was never the most confident) but I thought It seemed like the fitting way to celebrate the new fragrance.

Without further ado…

…To Wear Crazy Heels!

These babies are an ASOS purchase, but sadly have sat at the bottom of my wardrobe for too long, so, being the flats lover that I am, my challenge was to wear them all day! Although, I’ll admit, as soon as it came to leaving the house I chickened out…I didn’t fancy breaking my ankle, that day…

…To Try Something New!

Next up – to try something new! If you happen to have shared a table with me, you’ll probably know that I don’t eat any fruit – at all. The question that always follows that statement is “what – not even Strawberries!?”. Nope, not even strawberries. I figured something so pretty had to taste good, so my next dare was to give them a try. I lasted one bite…sorry guys, they’re not for me!

…To Smile!

Lastly, a dare that I’m still working on – to smile! Sounds silly, but if you read my post on Invisalign, you’ll know why it’s not often you catch a glimpse of my teeth. I’m now on my 4th set of aligners, and already people are telling me they can see a difference and my front teeth aren’t quite so overlapped. Yay! That’s certainly reason enough to smile, don’t you think? I’ll update you all on my progress very soon. Hopefully next time my smile won’t look quite as forced as this one – I need a bit of practice (can you see the horror in my eyes?).

Now it’s your turn!

Because sharing is caring and all that, I’m going to give away a bottle of See by Chloe to one of you lucky folk! It’s such a beautiful fragrance, and I want to challenge you to bring out your mischievous side too! To be in with the chance of winning, leave a comment on this post with a See by Chloe dare for yourself (perhaps you want to give up chocolate for a week, or ask out that guy you keep spotting on the train..its up to you!)

The winner will be notified on the 10th of May.

New York, New York!

I want your tips!

Sorry for the misleading title, if you were expecting skyscrapers and yellow taxis you’ll have to watch this space, as next week I’m heading to NYC for the first time. I’m stupidly excited! I know I’m going to fall in love with it – any New Yorkers reading are probably giggling already at my rose tinted glasses, but I have a feeling that it’s going to win my heart.

I’m not usually one for doing much research beforehand. Generally on a first trip I find it best not to have a to-do list as long as your arm, as rushing around never works out for the best. But as Miguel and I are only in the city for 3 days before heading over to Las Vegas to visit his family, I thought I’d turn to you knowledgeable lot for your top tips so we’re certain to use our time efficiently. What are your must-dos and must-sees? Anything from places to eat to cute shops, I want to hear it all!

If you have a New York guide on your blog, do pop the link in a comment. In return I’ll be sure to hunt down a few hidden gems myself and post them up here. See you in NYC! x

Cameras & Cobbles

Remind me, again…

I suppose it’s time to phase out these dark outfits, but I can’t help but grab a jumper every morning, despite seeing the blue skies outside. I’m usually the first to get my legs out as soon as the sun shows up, but this year I’ve been a bit reluctant. I opted for a pair of skin-toned tights a few days ago, and couldn’t stop peering down at the sad shade of grey that my legs seem to have turned. The countdown to my trip to the US is now at 14 days, and I can’t wait for the Vegas sunshine to remind me how to dress for summer. I surprise myself every season when the weather changes and I realise I don’t have a clue what I’m doing…

You’ll forgive me for my furry jumper when I tell you that these pictures were taken on a stroll through town when I was home over Easter. Miguel wanted to head out and take pictures with his Yashica, so I stole it as a prop, naturally (it’s a blogger thing). We took these pictures near the church – the very place my grandparents were married, my parents were married and where almost every other family occasion has taken place. It was ever-so-peaceful until a colourful character turned up, calling Miguel David Bailey and asking him endless questions about his pretty camera. Ahh, Shepton Mallet, you never change! x
