If you're a Londoner like me, you've likely not gone a day without seeing a Fjällräven backpack in a very long time. I picked up the black version before a Twenty One Pilots gig last year when I decided I wanted something cute to carry my merch in. Little did I know how often I would actually use it... It's my everyday work bag. Did you know this type of bag, the Kanken, was created in Sweden to prevent back problems amongst children? No wonder I love it so much (context: I broke my spine a few years ago and occasionally get horrific back pain).
On this particular day, I was heading to EGX Rezzed - an annual indie gaming event. I wanted something casual that wouldn't be too warm in the expo halls, hence the fishnet tights. Can we normalise wearing fishnet tights so I feel less uncomfortable wearing them on public transport please. I feel like I dressed like a little schoolgirl and I'm 100% okay with that. Just a cosy Brandy Melville sweater under a H&M LBD.

It's been years since I last painted my own nails, which is a shame because I have quite lovely nails. In fact, they're probably my favourite feature. I just find painting them such a tedious activity. Plus I'm incredibly impatient. The only reason I even keep up with cutting and filing them is because I can't play video games when they're too long (long nails & keyboards aren't a winning combination).
Anyway, for Mother's Day I treated mine to a gel manicure from Nails Inc. Whilst I was picking up the voucher I spotted their gel colours, I couldn't resist picking up a couple for myself. I'm not big into garishly bold colours so these two were perfect. I have the pink on right now (apologies for the lack of pictures) but trust me, it's a beautiful shade. I was very surprised at how easily the paint went on. I remember nail painting as a fiddly and annoying task! I guess that's the difference between a £4 varnish from Barry M and a £15 one from Nails Inc. I'd highly recommend them and I feel like this might be the start of a beautiful thing.
