The Lady's Choice // Janelle Monáe

After an outlandish (but later apologetic) fan sent Janelle Monáe criticised the "Electric Lady" for her choice of clothing, she elegantly put him in his place. It's safe to say Janelle and many other women choose to dress for themselves, rather than the attention or approval of others, be it male or female.

It's safe to her sexy, soulful is pretty easy to achieve.

19 // Nowhere

It's safe to say my blog has suffered a shameful amount of neglect this academic year (if I can even call it that).  I was looking back at some old posts and noticed I've documented all of my birthdays since the age of 16. I'm not one to ruin traditions even if it two months late.

This year's celebration was short and sweet. I spent my birthday at uni and just went out with my friends and then had dinner with my some of my flatmates the following day (my actual birthday).

Again I have a shameful lack of photos from that weekend but I'm sure there are worse things in world right about now.

Also, the "Nowhere" in the title is referring to my lack of birthday travels. It completely slipped my mind but  last year I was in Berlin and the year before that I went to Nancy.

Fingers crossed I should be jetting off pretty soon and I've also got a post about my trip to Rome chilling in my drafts, so that too will be up very very soon.

Ladurée loving

5 minutes later my tea was cold and  my smile was gone.

A little while ago my friends and I made a trip down to Ladurée in Covent Garden for afternoon tea. It was great seeing as it's one of those places I always walk past and say I'll definitely come back but never do.  I think it's safe to say that for the time you're there, you feel like you're the Queen. Everything was the lovely, the decor, the waiters, the food, just lovely. The macarons were by far among the best I've ever tried. There were pretty interesting flavours as well.

The only downer would be that the teapots were not insulating, so the tea got cold pretty quickly, I know #firstworldproblems, but other than that it was great. If you ever go, I'd highly recommend thé au caramel...caramel tea!

Here's something to listen to Stay Gold // First Aid Kit, enjoy.
