Damn, Jo Malone back at it again with another new launch. Wait. Is Jo Malone actually a person? *frantically googles* Ah yes she is. Panic over. Im sure there a brand that's fronted with a womans name but isnt actually a person but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
So once again Jo Malone have dropped a lovely new fragrance in the form of the uber fresh Jo Malone Nashi Blossom. Nashi is Japanese for Pear and well blossom suggests flowers so any guesses what it smells like?
Clean and pretty, it's a fruity floral delight for the nostrils. A lil sweetness with the fruity apple and pear notes but then has a few sharper hums in the form of lemon and then a nice sophist' finish with rose rounding it off. The packaging is adorbs too - If you're going to be spending £60+ on a fragrance...

A return to vlogging
I'll start by saying this - I'm obviously rubbish at keeping up with the whole vlogging thing. I think there comes a point at which you reach "sharing saturation," and for me that was last week. Trying to snapchat, instagram, tweet, Facebook and blog all at one time is a full time job. Oh wait, this is my full time job. So nothing abnormal there, I suppose. Anywho, I've decided to take a step back from a few platforms and concentrate a bit more on video content. So back to vlogging I go.
I had a word with a few vlogger friends who more or less sat me down and told me that my posh interpretations of hotels and cars to video was not what people wanted to see. People, apparently, want to see more of the person behind the camera, when it comes to video. So when you see a person that looks...

My Strange Addiction

Hi, Im Lily and Im obsessed with Quay Australia My Girls. If you asked me what pair of sunglasses I'd want to wear for the rest of my life would be I would 100% without hesitation say Quay Australia My Girls. Because that's a real question people IRL ask right?
Im not sure why I like these cat eyed sunglasses of glory became my favourite style of glasses but they are a style that just work for me. They make my face look less moon faced than usual and I'm a total sucker for a mirrored lens.
I bought this pair from Topshop in Westfield last month but I'm sure you can find them somewhere online, my terrible googling skills are failing me rn. Quay tends to go in and out of stock pretty fast so it's...
The Haute Couture Atelier of Aston Martin
Since starting FFG over seven years ago, I have had the great pleasure of visiting countless workshops and ateliers with some of the world's most respected and cherished fashion brands. I've seen everything from the birth of a Birkin bag to the setting of some of Van Cleef & Arpel's finest jewels. With each visit, I have found a new appreciation for the value of handcrafted goods. The fine art of hand craftsmanship is not a dying profession, but it is one that has definitely grown more scarce since machines have taken over so much of the manufacturing that exists today. So, when I'm presented with an opportunity to highlight a brand that is continuing on in the art of fine creation, I scream my support from every rooftop I can find. Last month I had the opportunity to visit Aston Martin's...

The New New Spring Uniform

Eeep. These photos are from ages ago but I have some outfits from ages ago to share and I thought I better get my butt into action and y'know share them. My hair looks well short here even though it was probably only back in March. Who knew it grew so quickly? MADNESS.
Leopard coat TICK
White tee TICK
Black Skinny Jeans TICK
Fedora TICK
Stan Smiths TICK
P. Much the outfit combo I wear 90% of the time at the moment. Throw in a neck tie and it's standard uniform for me this spring. I've lived in this fur coat to the point where the lining has completely disintegrated, which could be put down to my arm chub or my incessant layering - I hope the latter.
I def need to get my butt into gear and...
Style Update: A moment in Monte Carlo
For some reason the Breton stripes of my closet called to me as I was packing for Monte Carlo this season. There's something about that French Riviera that has me going gag for a horizontal stripe. In reality, there's no coincidence there at all. Get ready, I'm about to give you a mini history lesson on the Breton Stripe and why it fits right in on the French Riviera.
First of all, the Breton stripe was actually developed as a uniform for French sailors - if they ever fell overboard, the stripes made them easier to see. So this fashion icon actually has a practical beginning. Who would have thunk it? So truly, it finds its home at sea already. However, it was the uber genius of Coco Chanel that made this a fashion staple for the holiday set on the French Riviera. It was introduced as part...

Why you need to see the Grand Canyon
I've actually been to the Grand Canyon before. Last year I went on a Trek America with some pals and it was awesome but I was also tired, broken and felt like I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have done and it was something I really regretted. I knew on my recent trip to the US I was going to make the 4+ hour drive from Vegas to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and appreciate it properly.
It’s weird as you walk onto Bright Angel trail to make the epic hike down to the bottom. You soon realise you’re stepping on rocks that are like a million years old. Rocks that have been there since the dawn of time while the dinosaurs trotted over and probably perished on at some point too. You’re stepping on a part of history and thats pretty bloody cool.
It’s hard to capture the beauty...
