Rediscoveries

March 5, 2015

 

There are so many things that come into your life out of nowhere, and then suddenly you wonder what you ever did without it…

So many things that just seem to have come along, stolen a few years of your life and then disappeared as if nothing had even happened!

I’ve had so many throughout my life, but nowadays (that makes me sound old) I’d say they are mainly technology based.. tablets, phones, consoles, and the things we use within these.

The main culprits for me are Pinterest, Instagram, online (window) shopping, and Facebook did used to be one, although not so much anymore. All just one of those things where you think ‘oh I’ll just check this…’ or you mindlessly press it out of habit, and then you spend hours scrolling through, or finding something interesting that leads to something else and then finding more stuff and then researching that stuff *breathe* and it just goes on and on and on into a very deep rabbit hole. And when you finally emerge after a few minutes from that rabbit hole, just after you decided to just have a quick scroll through, you realize you’ve lost 3 hours and you promised yourself you were going to have an early night but that is long gone.

Most of the time these things have their own lifespan, and they somehow just fade away. But then one day you see something that reminds you of it, or you’re reminiscing and someone mentions it, and you’re all like ‘OMG that was so amazing, I wasted so many hours on that, lets find it again!’

Half the time you just like to look back on it, and you can spend maybe a few hours rekindling the memories, and then lay it back to bed. HOWEVER, sometimes you just weren’t quite finished that first time, and then you suddenly feel that the void in your life has been filled and you don’t even know what you have been doing without this thing because its just SO GOOD.

And then it begins again..

So here I am.. sitting in bed imagining up outfits that I would totally wear, or that I really want, or maybe even that I’m planning on buying, and I’m fitting each item into the next like a little fashion puzzle.

POLYVORE

I have used up many of my hours on this, once upon a time, maybe in college or uni I think, and I had totally forgot about it until the other day. I was just browsing and saw that oh so recognizable square, filled with fashion and accessories and awesomeness, and it just sucked me right in. I couldn’t remember the name so I had to Google it, but it didn’t take me long.I’m not as stuck to it as I have been with other things, but I am glad I found it again. I don’t think it will steal as much of my life as The Sims did when I was young, or as Pinterest has on many occasions, but I think its an awesome concept.

Its so great for putting together a look you have in your head, or finding that perfect item that you can imagine, but you’ve never actually found in the shops. It’s also so good for experimenting with different pieces together without actually having to buy them and then decide they don’t go together as well as you might have thought.

Lastly, I think it’s a really cool way of showing your arty side.. I did Graphic Design in university, but now I very rarely do much arty crafty (excluding cake) stuff. This gives me a way to get that part of me out and gets me all excited again, and I love that because I wouldn’t ever want to lose that arty side.

So yeah. I have made a rediscovery, but I am wise to the time stealers! So I think this will just be a great little thing to play with every so often. I even downloaded the app so that when I get bored in the hairdressers or if I’m traveling I can just play with outfits!

 

Do you have any rekindled hobbies or addictive pastimes?

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
