Our South African Holiday 2017

Glasgow Tripping 2016

My gravestone should read: "Daniela Fliegauf: bedazzled lover of cats and all-time advocate of short city breaks".

Blair Waldorf Is Giving Me Life Envy

I would much rather be the Queen B of Manhattan, dishing out very adverse but soundly accurate life advice, wearing couture to feed ducks and eating green grapes with the most vigour; than probably just about anything else.

You Probably Didn't Know This About Me

Quick-fire irrelevant questions that you probably don't want to hear an answer to - but maybe you're currently on a bus...

A Day In The Life: London

Raw, unedited, unabridged, unabbreviated, organic - a photo-heavy collective from my 16th birthday 4-day trip to London. It's such a whole enchilada (thesaurus.com *unedited) that it's all completely in the wrong order and some photos are upside down. PS. I included some bloopers and Snapchat screenshots, because, why not?

#10-Minutes-To-Get-Ready Rainy Summer Apropos

A white shirt and no bra combination is very dangerous territory. I survived the rain.

11 Stylish Films I Want To Watch On The Next Rainy Day

Because it's nice to imagine a day when you might actually have time to watch a film.

I can smell the summer holidays from here. *endless free time* I'm sitting on my couch. I've just started watching Atlantis because I binge-watched 3 seasons Reign in one month - 100% recommend. The summer smells like rainbows, daisies, swirly fashion photography and sticky wet bikinis covered in sun cream. Mostly sun cream, tbh. What better way to spend  3 months than by watching endless stylish films, making lists of the beautiful clothes worn by the most beautiful, stylish characters in said films, and then maybe wearing aforementioned outfits in a dream? Bonus points if you can make the list whilst simultaneously a) watching a second film, b) maybe eating some carrot cake and c) be fluid and free.

Just to clarify, stylish films are 10x better than non-stylish films because the stylish-ness has been scientifically (unofficially-ish) proven to increase IQ. It also serves as an excellent inspiration source. High five.

What Your Breakfast Says About You

What does your breakfast say about you? 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or so it is said. 

#GirlCrush Episode 1: Emily Charlton

Following the routine viewing (it seemed about time again) of The Devil Wears Prada, I took a character quiz and, would you believe it, I am apparently practically soul sisters with Miranda Priestly. I half agree and half disagree: I have always thought of myself as more of an Emily Charlton. Who wouldn't want such a sharp-cut voice, incredible and fluent ability to deliver in the driest and most hilarious sarcasm and the most polished and chic dress sense? Yeah, exactly. So, Andrea or Emily - the major debate before Edward vs Jacob arose. Even though I have used Andy's range of better outfits as #ootd inspiration since forever; I still feel a deep appreciation and applause for Emily's career drive (she came to work when she practically had the plague), her perfected eye roll, love for fashion and self-control (when was the last time you survived on a block of cheese for three weeks - dedication).

Forget Procrastination. This Was My Weekend.

How can I have a good weekend? Is it strange that I am suddenly very inspired to do something entrepreneurial just because I watched The Chef? I'm going to say no, it's very normal. I am also incredibly excited for the summer. I'M GOING TO MIAMI GUYS. The dealio is we are going to Florida for 2 weeks and Palm Beach for 1 week but of course I am not leaving without setting foot in the next best thing after Cuba. Mom, Dad - 2019 = Cuba? I feel like I've been waiting for this weekend all week. I feel so ready to have a good break and rest, you know?

The Ultimate Tips For Weekend Procrastination

5X Fashion Book Wishlist

an end to the year

An update. I feel quite ill at the thought of having to do revision tomorrow - disgusting, cruel and yet inevitable. Like hairs in a communal pool. Incredibly unnecessary. I also feel actually nauseous and I am 100% blaming the dates and olive oil. And the roast potatoes. And biscuits, granola, nachos, cake, stuffing, bread, burgers, chips, mince pies, peanut butter, chocolate and Skittles. I have had a fabulous Christmas. Anyhoo, I'm sacrificing any New Year meals because I might actually vomit if I have to eat another thing that isn't literally diluted lemon juice.

The Clothes Show 2015

what should i wear?

The week's outfit inspiration.

Well, this is just fabulous. I would probably wear tights and ditch the socks because not all of us live in an all-year summer. I adore the colour scheme.

Alexa Chung x British Vogue (The Future Of Fashion)

the full series on the British Vogue YouTube channel

It's Sunday which means I wasted half of my day in the bath, I gave myself two apparently soothing face masks, had a really solid Pinterest browsing session, online-shopped on sites that charged ridiculous postage (seriously?..), and obviously watched more than enough YouTube videos. I would say these are my guilty pleasures, but they're so consistent that I think I've stopped feeling so guilty about them.
