SEPTEMBER GOALS | ALITTLEKIRAN

We are already a week into September, notably I feel very different to how I feel typically would feel at the start of a new month which is the predictable *gasp* where has the time gone *shocked expression*. This year, much like last year, has been a complete mixed bag and I have been taking […]

MARCH LOW BUY | THE ONLY THING I BOUGHT LAST MONTH BARE MINERALS MATTE MINERAL FOUNDATION | ALITTLEKIRAN

I start every post the same now, sorry it has been a while. The classic excuse is coming: “I have a lot going on in my personal life”, which sounds like such a cop out but it is honestly making it hard to focus and even harder for me to stay motivated. There are a […]

WHAT I USED ON HOLIDAY | QUICK EASY EVERYDAY BEACH HOLIDAY MINIMAL MAKEUP WITH BRUSHES AND SKINCARE | ALITTLEKIRAN

I am the worst for overpacking and my recent 4 day trip to Malaga was no exception, I vastly overpacked. I literally took 7 eyeshadow palettes and didn’t use a single one, so I thought I would share what I should have packed vs what I actually packed. My biggest concern is not having enough […]

AMERICAN ADVENTURE | LOS ANGELES IHOP HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME BEVERLY HILLS DOLBY THEATRE CHINESE THEATRE SANTA MONICA PIER AND VENICE BEACH

Los Angeles, The City of Angels, was our last proper stop in this American Adventure and we arrived to gloomy rain. Felt just like England, the streets were quiet and we booked a Super Shuttle from the airport to our hotel: Knotts Berry Farm Hotel. We arrived in the afternoon and the staff at the […]

AMERICAN ADVENTURE | WASHINGTON DC THE CAPITOL THE PRE-TRUMP WHITE HOUSE MEMORIALS JANUARY 2017 | ALITTLEKIRAN

Washington DC was probably the highlight of my entire trip. I was completely alone in the freezing (-6) cold and walked everywhere. It was eerily quiet with hardly anyone around apart from joggers. What is it with joggers in DC, there are loads and none of them seem bothered by the icy chill. It felt […]

AMERICAN ADVENTURE | NEW YORK NEW YORK JANUARY 2017 | ALITTLEKIRAN

Photo from @BeautifulDestinations Instagram New York. I finally took a slice of the Big Apple and spent three days in the much loved city. I have mixed views of it and if you haven’t read about all the drama that haunted this trip check out my last post here. I arrived in New York (alone) on […]

AMERICAN ADVENTURE | WHAT TO DO IF YOU LOSE YOUR PASSPORT DAYS BEFORE TRAVELLING

I survived my very first American adventure! I say first because already I want to go again. On this ten day excursion I travelled to New York, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Arizona and Los Angeles. For each place I am going to dedicate a single post. The first obviously being New York, which will be […]

ICELAND MINIMAL TRAVEL MAKEUP AND SKINCARE ROUTINE

Travelling with as few products as possible is my motto. It never seems to matter how streamlined my routine is I always seem to overpack and never use or wear all the stuff I roll into my suitcase. For makeup in Iceland I wanted enough to protect my skin but really wanted to bring only […]

ICELANDIC FASHION | WHAT TO WEAR IN HARSH COLDER CLIMATES AND IN ICELAND IN DECEMBER | ALITTLEKIRAN

Iceland isn’t called Iceland for nothing, and although the weather is unusually warm for this time of year it is certainly better to be prepared. So if you’re planning a trip to somewhere with colder climes, fear not, here is a guide on how to dress comfortably for your chilly destination, wherever it may be. […]

8 THINGS TO DO BEFORE 2017 | ALITTLEKIRAN

I recently came across this article by Free People entitled: 10 Things You Need To Do Before 2017. I enjoyed the post and wanted to make my own, less about self-fulfillment and cleaning out the cobwebs ready for a new year and more about making the most of this year. So here are 8 things […]

WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT FREAKSHAKES | MAXWELL’S SALTED CARAMEL & OREO FREAKSHAKE REVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN

Best Freakshakes in the World Whenever I am in London I spent approximately forty times the amount I would spend in an entire week at home, but I guess that’s half the fun and last weekend I had a lot of fun. On Sunday, my friends and I went on a freakshake run to break […]

BLOG INSPIRATION SERIES | BLOGGERS WHO HAVE A KILLER LAYOUT AND AESTHETIC

Here is Part 3, also the last instalment, of my Blog Inspiration Series which focuses on Aesthetic and Layout. You can read Part 1 (photography) and Part 2 (content and writing style) here.  Aesthetic is vital in the blogging industry because of how inundated this sector is. Everyone and their dog has a blog which […]

JUNE ROUND UP AND FAVOURITES | ALITTLEKIRAN

Photo from @thepinkdiary instagram account June has been weird to say the least, full of ups and downs for me. For everyone. If you live in the UK or have been watching the news you’ll know about the EU Referendum and how Britain is currently scrambling now we’re faced with an unpredictable future. We’re all […]

TRAVEL HAUL | SHOPPING AND PACKING FOR BARCELONA

I am back, to a post-referendum UK, from a carefree week in Barcelona. I am still in holiday mode, but desperately need to get back into the swing of things or else I’ll never do anything productive ever again. If you are interested I had a wonderful time in Barcelona and will do a full […]

TRAVEL TIME | THE THREE BS BELGIUM, BRUSSELS, BRUGES | ALITTLEKIRAN

Finally, it’s here. I have been promising a post about my time in Belgium for longer than is acceptable, but it is here now so please forgive me and expect a lot of photos. . . I spent three days total in Belgium, two in Bruges (you don’t pronounce the s) and the final day in […]

HOLIDAY MAKEUP DRUGSTORE EDIT | ALITTLEKIRAN

I always overpack for holidays, always, it doesn’t matter if I go away for three weeks or three days it is almost certain that there will be items of clothing I never once thought to wear and a ridiculous amount of makeup that would just sit unused on the hotel desk. But, I think I […]

FEELING 22 | 22 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT | ALITTLEKIRAN

So, I am 22 today (June 7th) and this little fact is freaking me out a little. Age is a funny thing. It is so strange that when you’re little you think being an adult must be the best thing in the world and then when you finally are an adult you feel like you […]

Thailand | Travel Video | ALITTLEKIRAN

I have been meaning to write about Thailand and our adventures there, but then I realised it is probably quite boring to read about someone else’s travels. Nevertheless, I wanted to document it on my blog because I skipped writing about my epic adventure in Greece and Copenhagen last year. I tried to film random […]

February Favourites | ALITTLEKIRAN

Happy Leap Day! I just got back from Thailand, more on that soon don’t worry, and have thoroughly enjoyed this February. Despite travelling for most of the month I have, as always, managed to acquire new addictions in the form of beauty products so this post was mandatory. First, though, let’s talk about the new […]

København | Day 1 | ALITTLEKIRAN

I went to Copenhagen for three days with a friend from university, I wanted to write a short yet detailed post about what we got up to while we were there. Let me start by saying we are and were both dirt poor, so saving our money was a top priority for both of us. […]

BUDAPEST | ALITTLEKIRAN

Hello, I don’t know if you know this but I have done some travelling recently. I went to Budapest with my sister and her friend in late April and I returned from a three-stop trip in Greece with my housemates several days ago. I thought I should stop procrastinating and write about my travels before […]

Greece | ALITTLEKIRAN

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a quick little update with you. My last exam is tomorrow and then that is it, my final year is done! Which is both relieving and unbelievably scary, what do I do now? But also I am heading directly to London to catch a plane to Greece, exciting […]

Travel | Saint Malo | ALITTLEKIRAN

Hello, I apologise for the delay in putting up this post it has just been an exceptionally busy week. As you know if you follow me on any social media (all the links are to the right, if you don’t) you know I spent Valentine’s weekend in Saint Malo. I travelled there with my sister […]

2015: What’s Your Resolution? | ALITTLEKIRAN

It’s always the biggest question at this time of year, but all my social media feeds are filled with people saying “if you really want to change you don’t need to wait until the January 1st”. Which is true, but there is something appealing about a new year, it is a fresh start in many […]
