Santa Monica was by far my favourite of the few parts of California I had the time to see, with amazing shops, restaurants and a pier and a beach that almost made me feel at home. I actually partially blame the beach and pier combo for the case of extreme homesick-ness that came along soon after. I had my first taste of Nasty Gal, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom (the best of them all) and discovered that the US Brandy Melville's are awesome.
Unfortunately we didn't have too long to spend there (even these photos were snapped whilst waiting for our Uber) but it would definitely be a part I would love to explore more in the future.
In other, more current news - this morning I'm off to spend the day at a spa in the countryside before my best friends wedding on Monday. I get a full 48 hours of countryside calm before returning to Brighton, grabbing my bags and heading to Ibiza for three days!
It's going to be a bit of a crazy whirlwind, but I'll try and keep things updated around these parts as and when I can (naturally videos will still go up as usual). I'm full of nerves but at the same time I'm so excited to be setting off again!
There's nothing quite like catching up with old friends over good food. I recently spent a delightful afternoon with my friend Lucy (yes we are still friends for those who have been asking!) at No. 11 Pimlico Road, a contemporary bar and restaurant in South West London. The food was amazing and the interior was right up my street (ladies, make sure to visit their bathrooms, if for nothing other than the beautiful decor).
