NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS


This year I celebrated new year's eve in Aberdeen where i witnessed the "Stonehaven Fireballs", a tradition that has locals swinging homemade balls of fire around their heads whilst walking up and down the main high street.... cool huh!? I just thought I'd share a few photos of this unique spectacle with you, curtsey of the lovely Matt Lain, and I've also just remembered that I still haven't set any new years resolutions - better late than never!     
 
I guess my main goal for 2014 is to learn to budget better; I plan to move into a lovely one bed flat towards the end of the year and that sure as hell isn't going to happen if I'm still in my student overdraft! I'd also like to progress in my career, eat more healthily and of course, improve this blog so that you guys can get even more enjoyment out of reading it! There are many other things that I'd like to do this year, but the list is far too long to bore you with so I'll leave you with these three very achievable resolutions before I get carried away!

AN AFTERNOON IN CROUCH END


On Sunday I had a day in London to relax, (AKA a day to do some washing and re-pack), before flying to Scotland for New Year's Eve. I decided to pop into Crouch End for lunch and ended up going to a lovely family run cafĂ©/bakery called Coffee Cake, a great place to visit if you like healthy eating and unique, tasty combinations! I had a prune and feta cheese tart with a side of aubergine salad and a blackberry and nettle tea. Yum. 

I wore my favourite tartan shorts, which I picked up about a month ago down Brick Lane, along with a cashmere jumper and my Dr. Martens shoes. Normally instinct would have me wearing a black collared shirt underneath this jumper, but I love the contrast of the white against the black, and it also adds a fun "school uniform" twist to the ensemble! The bag I'm carrying was a gift from my Auntie for Christmas and is from H&M. (I love simple, black bags because they go with most outfits and look so minimal)!

I'm currently still in Scotland, Matt and I are flying back tomorrow.... I can't wait to show you all of the photos! Although I am looking forward to my own bed and having my wardrobe back, I'm a little sad about returning to normal life and reality after the wonderful two weeks I've just had off.
