Illuminated Trail at Kew Gardens
After my annual Fortnum & Mason visit to pick up some treats, I went on to visit the Christmas at Kew illuminated trail at the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. There's really only one word for it, magical. The trail is open during the hours of darkness from Wednesday 25th November to Saturday 2nd January - and although tickets are still available for purchase, I had the pleasure of wandering through the trail just as the excitement of Christmas' arrival was at its peak!

Cologne Christmas Markets: Part One
You may have noticed I dropped off the radar for a few days about a week ago, however it was for a very good reason - I was visiting the Christmas markets in Cologne! It's yet another of my festive traditions and sure, I may well now have a list of traditions as long as my arm, however I'm not at all willing to loosen my grip on the beautiful German Christmas markets! It's been a family tradition to visit them together for nearly a decade now and we usually plan the trip to coincide with when members from our extended family visit the 2,000-year-old city. It's perfect; mugs of hot chocolate with rum enjoyed in impossibly festive settings, German Christmas music playing from wooden stalls, lights all around and a refreshing mix of nationalities heard at every turn...

Christmas at Bath: Part One
It feels as though it's been a while since I last wrote up a travel diary, though thankfully the streak has been joyfully ended now that the festive season is upon us! To welcome in the new month, I spent a couple of days with my mother in the beautiful spa town of Bath as one of our annual traditions. After a relaxed journey to the sound of an old instrumental Crabtree & Evelyn Christmas album, we arrived at the Abbey Hotel around the mid-afternoon to find the Apres Ski Bar in full swing outside and streams of people swarming through the entrance area in party hats to reach a Christmas meal/party. I've always said Bath is a city you want to be in come December and this lively welcome very much reminded me why!

Warwick Castle: Part Two
Picking up from where we left off in Part One of my Warwick Castle experience, Part Two sees the virtual tour become even more extravagant! The interior design of the medieval castle seemed to become increasingly flamboyant with each room introduced; golden ceilings rubbed shoulders with large plants, grand four poster beds were surrounded by silk wallpaper and lifelike waxwork figures appeared more frequently dressed head-to-toe in heavily embellished costumes...

You can tell the temperature has dropped when you have to keep rubbing your hands together every ten seconds to prevent blotches appearing all over them! Though if you ask me, watching your fingers horrifically drop off one by one is entirely worth it for the sake of capturing these beautiful pieces by Z for Accessorize...

Autumnal Arm Candy
It's getting darker earlier in the day, Halloween-themed emails are landing in inboxes and fluffy socks have gone from being optional to essential - Autumn is most definitely on our doorstep! I've spent the best part of today intermittently changing over my wardrobe for the new season. I'm not at all ruthless enough to create a capsule wardrobe, however all the same I've noticed some gaps that are in need of filling by versatile essentials. One of these gaps is accessories but more specifically, handbags!

Passionata Lingerie: Adorable Bandeau Set
I have three weaknesses: lingerie, shoes and chocolate. Though truthfully, I'm not convinced they can be considered weaknesses when they're each so wonderful. I'll admit the latter probably isn't the best for me, but I refuse to believe there's anything at all wrong with indulging in pretty lingerie and skyscraper heels! Over the years, I've rewarded myself with any of the three. A good test score would result in a pile of Green and Black's chocolate, a refreshed workout regime would see a new pair of black stilettos added to my wardrobe and the ability to remain polite to someone who was anything but would see me shopping for laced triangle bras. On this occasion, however, there's no reason and it's instead a case of admiring something pretty.. for pretty's sake! Say hello to the Passionata 'Adorable' Bandeau Bra c/o and Passionata 'Adorable' Sexy Shorty c/o...

Joya: Composition No.1 Soap
I used to dislike surprises with a burning passion. I distinctly remember at the age of fourteen being spontaneously forced to stand on my chair at the Hard Rock Cafe in London so that the entire room could sing Happy Birthday to me. How did I react? Tears. Tears, tears and more tears. It's one of those memories that prompts a wave of shivers to coarse through my body, ugh. However, my opinion of surprises has drastically changed since then (I've come a long way since soggy, tear-stained cheeseburgers) and now I thrive on not knowing what's coming next. I love surprises, both big and small! With this in mind, a close friend of mine absolutely made my day at the weekend by surprising me with a belated birthday gift - and no, I didn't cry.

Unwinding at Uppark
There's no denying I'm a huge fan of National Trust places. I grew up visiting some of the magnificent houses and gardens on weekends with my family; I have such lovely memories of us all spread out across tartan picnic blankets eating scotch eggs and drinking from Ribena cartons! I'd imagine those days have a lot to do with my fondness for National Trust places now as an adult, although I find it hard to believe anyone would struggle to see the beauty in their various immaculately-kept destinations across the UK...
