Today, after a conversation with someone I recently met, I thought of 3 really simple but effective questions to ask yourself that will give you a better insight into your own character, what you like about yourself and how you’d like to grow as a person.

I think self evaluation is a useful exercise for all of us to get to know ourselves a little better, as sometimes it’s only when we actually sit down and think about something that we realise it’s essence. That applies to our own identity too.

So what are these 3 questions, I hear you ask. Well, they are as follows:

What aspects of yourself do you respect & value the most? (Like, if your personality/character was drowning, which aspects would you save first?)

What’s an aspect of your personality/character that you’d like to change?

What’s a character trait that you admire in other people?

My answers to these questions provided some confirmation of some things I already knew and enlightened me on some that I didn’t, which is the whole point. They’re also great ones to ask other people that you’re getting to know, or even people you think you know well already.

Learning new things about the people you’re around is always a good thing. Have a think about your answers and if you’re brave, let me know what you came up with in the comments. It would be great to read some of your responses!

Of course, as I’m asking all of you, it would only be fair that I share my own… Read ‘em after the cut! read more »

It’s been a while, hasn’t it. If you follow my Tumblr, then you’ll have already seen this design, so this is for those of you that just come here to find me. Thought I’d go with the unexpected summer vibe we’ve had in London this week.

For those of you that wanna try this, they’re really easy to do. All you need is a good white polish, a few different bright colours of your choice and a black nail art pen. The rest is pretty self explanatory really!

Hope you like ‘em!

Got a bit of news for ya. This amazing blog called Flyprints, who post the coolest stuff, have a new presenter for their videos and that person, would be yours truly! I’m SO excited to be part of such a great team and I can’t wait for all of the upcoming things we have going on. It’s gonna be fun and you guys will love it.

My first task after getting this new job, was to ride a Boris Bike and do an intro at the same time. The Flyprints lot like to keep things challenging I tell ya! You can see how that went for me in the video below.

My first job will be presenting the videos for a show they have called ‘iLuvLive MORE‘ which will focus on the Open Mic and upcoming acts showcased at each iLuvLive event. If you don’t know about iLuvLive, it’s a music showcase for signed and unsigned artists that happens every other monday at XOYO in Shoreditch. They always have entertaining lineups, it’s hosted by the lovely Ras Kwame and the DJ’s drop some good tunes, so if you’re looking for a fun night out or are an artist looking for exposure, it’s the event for you.

So I guess I should show you some of this presenting stuff instead of just talking about it huh? Well, press play on the video below and you’ll see the first episode of iLuvLive MORE. Enjoy!

For some reason, I always find it interesting reading blog posts about the contents of people’s bags so I thought I’d do one!

This beauty of a bag is one I picked up at Camden market. I knew it had to be mine as soon as I saw it hanging up on the shop wall.

I got my purse from Urban Outfitters in the US. I actually bought two cause I hate getting used to a purse and then missing it when it falls apart. Luckily this one has lasted me well but I’m glad that when it’s on it’s last legs I won’t have to get used to something new. Maybe I need to learn to embrace change a bit more but it really is a great purse!

If you know me, you’ll know I can’t live without my Victoria’s Secret spray. I got addicted to this ish courtesy of my LA family who practically bathed in it before I even knew what it was! Now, this scent follows me wherever I go. Either Love Potion or Amber Romance.

Obviously as a Londoner, my Oyster card is a bag staple. I’m getting nowhere without it. Same goes for my car keys and my ipod. I’ve vowed to stick to my old school ipod, the touch ones just don’t hold enough music.

I’m guilty of being a two phone user. I never thought I would be but I guess that’s why should we never say never. I was a big iPhone advocate but now that I’ve been introduced to the world of the Blackberry, I treat my poor iPhone like a naughty stepchild. I couldn’t live without my Apps but BBM is slowly becoming an addiction I can’t kick :-/.

Cocoa Butter, Carmex and Gum are 3 things that my bag is never without. I also never go anywhere without a mirror or a nail file or and it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t have a bottle of polish in there. The sunnies (which I copped from a market in Goa, so they’re definitely not real Ray Bans LOL) were in there, ready for summer. Let’s hope the sun decides to give us an encore performance sometime soon.

So that’s basically what the inside of my bag looks like on a daily basis, give or take a few ‘unnecessary necessities’.

This post is about a month overdue seeing as my birthday was in May, but it’s relevant nonetheless!

I treated myself to some new stuff in honour of turning twenty something. I’d been looking for a denim jacket for some time, the shoes were an impulse buy and I’m totally in love with this bag. I wore the gold sparkly shoes to my friend’s wedding. My feet hurt and I was tottering around all day but I think it was just about worth it!

Here’s the deets:

1. Green buckle heels from H&M.

2. Satchel bag from Camden market.

3. Vintage Levis denim jacket from Rokit Vintage in Camden.

4. Gold shoes from Red Herring for Debenhams.
