It was my boyfriend's birthday last week so I booked him a surprise trip to Paris for a long weekend. I haven't been to paris since I was about 11 and on a school trip there so I was so so excited to explore such an amazing city. And it didn't disappoint. I think it has to be one of my all time favourite cities ever, it's just so unbelievably beautiful. The streets are just gorgeous and filled with hidden treasures around every corner, there is so much to do, the food is amazing and walking to the eiffel tower at night is just so magical. All in all it was one of the best trips we've ever had and I just wish we had longer. Now i'm just ridiculously keen to book a trip there in the summer!

I also booked a little surprise tour around paris on our first morning, in a vintage open roof Citroen! It was absolutely amazing getting to drive around Paris in an open top car wrapped in blankets and just seeing all the beauty of Paris. We also went to Montmarte which was without a doubt my favourite part of Paris. It was honestly so beautiful, full of little cafes, restaurants, artists and windy little streets. Obviously a trip to paris is not complete without a trip to laduree and a few crepe stops (maybe went a bit overboard here). Anyway I could write forever about how amazing everything was so I've picked out some photos from our trip (which was difficult because I took literally thousands!)

My boyfriend and I had a little day out today to Morpeth as the weather was really lovely. We had a wander round the town and spotted some cute little rowing boats which we ventured out on, before having some food at a little beer garden. I wore my trusty dungarees from urban outfitters teamed with a striped breton from uniqlo which I love. My little satchel bag is from Dr. Martens which I love love love, its so cute and tiny and I think the colour goes well with so many things.

I've been seeing pictures of the new Charlotte Tilbury collection for a while now and all of it looks so gorgeous. The packaging is to die for and like all of Charlotte's products, the product itself is beautiful. I waited a while to buy something from the collection because really, I didn't need any more lipsticks, but the fact it was limited edition and that these two were selling out quickly finally made me take the plunge and buy both lipsticks from the collection. The nude lipstick, Miss Kensington was a must for me. I've always been looking for the perfect nude but since I'm so pale, a lot that I have tried look too brown or too mauve or too pink, but then this came along and it looked perfect. And if that wasn't enough to convince me, the description of the lipstick involved the words 'swinging sixties' 'twiggy and audrey hepburn'. So yeah, I was sold. The red however took me a bit more convincing since I could probably set up a shop with the amount of reds I have. It looked very similar to lady danger by mac which is my all time favourite. But in the end the formula of the matte revolution lipsticks, the gorgeous sunset colour and having watched so many youtube tutorials, I was finally convinced that I needed this red in my collection. They are both gorgeous lipsticks. The texture is amazing, non-drying, matte but not too matte, creamy yet long-lasting. And the shape of the lipstick bullet is amazing too as it mimics a lip brush and means I can easily apply a bold red without having to use a lip liner. All in all they are killer lipsticks so if you are on the hunt for the perfect orangey red or perfect pinky nude, I would check these out!

So i'm moving out of my flat pretty soon so I thought i'd do a post on some of my interior details before I have to pack it all away. It'll be sad to leave the flat, i've been here a year and after a couple of months I managed to make it feel really homely. But i've just signed for a flat with my boyfriend which is bigger (so I can finally store all my clothes and shoes properly!) and it's unfurnished which means it's even more of a blank canvas to transform into a space I love! I've been glued to pinterest, pinning loads of interior inspiration for the new place but here are some photos of how i've decorated my current flat. I love using instagram and pinterest for interior inspiration. I think it's so important to make your space feel homely but also allow it to reflect your personality. I love mid-century modern design, anything from scandinavia but also, i'm pretty girly so I like the odd touch of pink here and there!

On saturday my boyfriend and I had a little drive up to holy island to have a wander round and a picnic! He got me an amazing picnic basket for my birthday as i'd been after one for ages. We really are lucky to live near such beautiful countryside. Driving through Northumberland is just so pretty. I haven't been to holy island since I was in year 5 when I had a school trip there so walking around was really nostalgic since it hadn't changed a bit since I was there. We had a wander round the island but there wasn't really a place to set up for a picnic so we had to settle for the car park..... still the view was really nice and it wasn't busy so we had plenty of space!
