The Sky Garden



As my Christmas break draws to an end (Yes, I know it’s the 10th January already). I wanted to have one last day out in London. One of my friends that I go to uni with wasn’t doing anything either, so we took a trip up to the Sky Garden, on the 30th floor! It’s a strange white skyscraper opposite the Shard, resembling a walkie talkie. You don’t have to pay but you do need to book a time slot. There’s an uber posh restaurant and a cafe area, which sells delicious looking muffins.

The panoramic views of London even on a grey day were amazing, you could see everything from planes landing and taking off from City Airport to Tower Bridge and Big Ben. I can imagine it being stunning at sunrise and even at night too. They have a large balcony area on one side which you can take all the ‘selfies’ you want with London’s famous landmarks… I may have taken advantage of this too. Despite being in Central London, entering the Sky Garden I felt instantly calm, it was quiet and the plants transport you to a tropical island. They were a lovely vivd green, although there wasn’t a vast sample of plants, the views definitely made up for it.

It’s certainly worth a trip up there if you’re visiting London or even if you want to catch up over coffee and stunning views.

The New Year


January is a time to reinvent, be inspired and start fresh. Although that sounds extremely cringe, it's true, I feel like I can hit the refresh button. I'm happy to leave 2015 behind and begin a new year, although 2016 will be one of the scariest years for me, as I finish university in July. Becoming a fully fledged adult with adult problems and an adult job...

Blogging is always something that's interested me, I constantly read blogs for outfit inspiration and just general life advice. So, I thought what better way to start the new year than to do something I've always wanted to do and try out! However nervous it makes me, juggling this and uni work will definitely be difficult. So I've printed a calendar got myself a cute notebook and I'm getting organised for 2016...I'm not calling it a new years resolution as lets be honest no one keeps those!

Happy New Year.
