A Fossil Flagship: London, Oxford Street

I've been talking, over the past few weeks, about a new look for Fossil. FFG is no stranger to store visits, so when I first started chatting to the brand about features on the site, I asked if they wouldn't mind if I came in and took a look around their flagship, to get a real feel for place. I always find a brand really showcases its true colors in the interior decoration of its flagship store, the staff that service the floor and the campaigns which are highlighted through the space. Product takes on a whole new look and feel in a home retail environment, and is instantly given a sort of history. The shopping experience becomes a part of your purchase, and, with Fossil, I felt I really was given a lovely bit of retail therapy. And so, a post was born. I wanted to share with London readers a space that truly did motivate me and make me feel at home with a brand I've known and loved for years. To walk into this space in, what is still for me, a foreign country, and feel at home, was a wondrous experience and one that I encourage everyone to have when shopping on London's Oxford Street. 

Just in case you needed a bit more incentive to get your rear end into store, I've captured a few shots of the space, a few more shots of my favorite product available at the moment, and even a cheeky exterior moment. I'll just mention that this is THE ideal place for Christmas shopping, as well. Try not to yell too loudly in my direction for bringing up the holiday that's just around the corner. We're looking at less than 100 days now folks. In my opinion, every little bit helps! Why not get in there early these days?

Without further ado, here's a looksy lou at Fossil Oxford Street in London. There is a certain cheekiness here that is unparalleled, which makes the shopping experience seem effortless and fun. In today's retail environment, that is certainly not easily achieved, hence the reason for honoring it's fun look at life here on FFG.

What I Ate Today 2




I dont think I've even mentioned it on this blog yet but a couple of months ago I decided to go meat free, dairy free and basically cut all animal products from my diet. A while ago I posted a what I eat in a day video over on my channel and it got a really good reaction to it so I thought I’d do a round two.

I absolutely love seeing what people eat in a day on Youtube. It's become one of my weird obsessions and I seem to find myself watching countless videos of all sorts of diets from veganism to body building. I think theres just something really interesting about seeing what others choose to eat on a day to day basis. Weirdly fascinating and slightly voyeuristic!

Pre-Breakfast: I love starting my day off with some lemon water. I always thought it was a little bit pretentious and a faff but since adding it to my morning routine it's really helped with my digestion and getting ready for the day. Really hydrating and a great way to start the day off!

Breakfast: For breakfast I normally have a fruit based meal because I never really feel like eating a heavy starchy breakfast, although I am partial to my new favourite recipe of chocolate oatmeal (recipe coming soon!) On this day I had two ripe mangos as well as two passionfruit just chopped up and plonked on a plate.

Lunch: Sushi Bowls are my new favourite quick and effortless lunch.I was super lazy and just used long grain rice instead of sushi riche as I wasn’t planning on wrapping it in nori so regular rice is fine. Not ideal and Im sure sushi purists are shaking their fists at me but trust me it's super easy this way! Then I spiralised a cucumber, chopped some carrot and avocado, added it all to a bowl along with some sushi ginger and some black seasame seeds.

Snack: Edamame beans are my current favourite obsession and a great source of protein in plant based diets! I eat so many of these at the moment I am a little bit worried about this latest snacking habit! At least it's pretty healthy though!

Dinner: Comfort food time! I made some mash with some steamed broccoli. Super simple but really filling and so good on a cold evening. I didnt use and butter or milk in my mash as I didnt have any but I would recommend some dairy free butter or milk if you wanted it super creamy, however I liked it how it was!

Admittedly I don't eat like this every single day, Somedays I do eat a whole bag of kettle chips with a tub of pitta or fries or a box of Oreos. Im also not  a dietitian, so  I'm not saying this is an ideal way of eating, but Im still alive and kicking so I

Daisy Dreams Forever



Good Ol' Mark Jacobs fragrances. A recent addition to the iconic perfume line up is Daisy Dreams Forever. Inspired by blue skies and day dreaming, this fragrance is youthful and fresh and although marketed as a summery scent I think it’s a really nice transitional fragrance.

Similar to the original Daisy Dreams, the scent opens with a fruity mixture of blackberry, pear and grapefruit. The heart goes into flowers of blue wisteria, jasmine and fresh lychee, with the base following up with strong blond woods. It’s juicy, fresh while being warming and elegant at the same time. It reminds me a little bit of blueberry pies. The bottle is probably my favourite offering from Marc Jacobs for a long time, it’s colour is just beautiful and really striking.


Much stronger and fruiter than the original version, so if you liked Daisy Dreams but wanted some more oopmh then give this a spritz next time you’re near a perfume counter!  Daisy Dreams Forever just has way more character and punch!
