Time to say goodbye to my life in southern Spain and say hello to London town. Some may say I’m nuts, others that I’m doing the right thing, but all I know is that I have to do it.
So I got a new hair cut and some ombre tips – although you can hardly notice them in this picture – packed all my shoes and dresses – seriously, how heavy are winter clothes?!!- and made it to the south of France where, mostly, I have been drinking hot chocolate and eating … a lot. And drinking hot chocolate.
Because this is how they do it here… the connoisseur way – with instructions on the back -
For my trip to London I will be mostly listening to Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die and Bombay Bicycle Club – especially their Shuffle song, which was recently described as the number one top song of 2011 by BBC Radio 1 DJ and cutie-pie kiwi Zane Lowe – . I cannot wait to be in England to be able to use iTunes UK and purchase VV Brown’s new music, grab Florence + The Machine’s new album and … find some decent hot chocolate.
I will be wearing a vintage winter coat from the late 70s 60s, that I recently inherited from my favourite Spanish aunt. It’s super heavy and thick, so it should keep me warm. Working books by New Look will be my choice of footwear.
And that is all I have to say. Have a fantastic weekend and wish me luck

Thank you SO MUCH Courtney xx
Wow, that hot chocolate sure looks interesting! Hope it all goes well and you find the place of your dreams! Hopefully we live close to each other and then we can have movie nights, hot chocolate breaks and go out lots to distract us (ok mostly me) from the homesickness! Can’t wait for our new lives!

I want to see that winter coat, it sounds fab! and the picture of you is adorable, you’re such a cutie. Yeay for ombre! you should totally get some color on those ends, a dark red would look gorgeous. If you want to go navy like me, you’ll have to pick a purple based blue, as proper blue just goes green over the yellow-orange ends. And maybe you’ll have to dye it twice, as purple mixed with orange can go muddy, but that would also make sure the color is a “natural” blue instead of being vibrant as fuck
strand tests are in order!

Can’t wait to see this huge coat, and am surprised someone in Spain even had such a heavy one! Ok not really, I just forget how chilly some parts get. Glad you got some nice relax time before heading up to London- do you have family in Southern France or were just vacationing there? Super cute hair cut btw- love the waves & bangs : )
