Photoset: An Italian Dream

I am still in awe of Italy, it was so beautiful and just amazing.

My boyfriend and I decided we would have a look at where we wanted to go on holiday to this year, we were looking into going to the Isle of Wight but then the idea of Italy popped into our heads…

So here are a few photos of our time in Italy, we explored Venice, Florence and Pisa in a week, which was one of the best weeks of my life.

Misfit – Charli Howard – Review

So, how did a slightly bonkers misfit with anxiety and eating disorders decide to solve their problems? I became a model, as you do.

Growing up, Charli Howard always felt like an outsider. So she looked at the skinny girls smiling out of magazines and came to the conclusion that to be happy, she needed to be thin. Believing that these models had perfect lives, she decided to become one herself.

Not Working – Lisa Owens – Review

Now and again we all lie awake wondering what an earth we’re doing with our lives… don’t we?

Claire Flannery has had more than a few sleepless nights lately. Maybe she shouldn’t have walked out of her job with no idea what to do next. Maybe she should think before she speaks – and maybe then her mother will start returning her calls. Maybe she should be spending more time going to art galleries, or reading up on current affairs, and less time in her pyjamas, entering competitions on the internet. Then again, maybe the perfect solutions to life’s problems only arises when you stop looking for it…
