What I've Been Loving Lately

As the blossoms are slowly falling to the ground and the weekends are gradually filling up with pub gardens and BBQ's, we are officially transitioning into Summer. Don't get me wrong; I love the peachy makeup hues, the ability to wear less layers and spending evenings in the garden watching the sun go down, but as Summer is my least favourite season, I have been taking time out to think about all the things I've been loving lately. 

The Moody, Gloomy Weather | As an Autumn girl through and through, I am secretly enjoying the moody, stormy weather as it's perfect for snuggling in with blankets and films. I've gone through a phase recently of wanting it to be Halloween, Fireworks Night and Christmas, so have been cracking out my favourite episodes of TV shows I love that feature all of the festive goodness! 

Peonies | I'm quite early this year for peonies, but I'm making the most of them and having them in every photograph I can on my blog. They help to improve my mood and the fresh blooms look great throughout my house too. 

Exciting Plans | We've been really enjoying going out on our bikes, so we've booked a couple of holidays to Wales and Scotland to explore up there too. The other day, I was surprised by booking a trip away to Paris in August - I'm so excited as I've never been there before (and of course Sephora too!) 

Cooking Up New Recipes | As a fussy eater, I have been determined to find new recipes that I love. We're currently trying out a new mushroom bhaji recipe and I've scoured Deliciously Ella With Friends to find some exciting new recipes to try like Aloo Gobi and sweet potato falafels.  

Blogs | I've got to admit that I don't read blogs as often as I should, but when I do there are many that I go to instantly. Francisca May has blog photography to die for, as do Gemma Louise, A Girl Obsessed and Makeup Savvy. I have loved nothing more than settling down to read a handful of blogs in the evening, but I'm always on the look out for new reads.
