I love paradoxical fashion (I'm not 100% if this sentence makes sense, I just wanted to use a big fancy word). Placing things together that shouldn't really go together but do! Like leather and florals, stripes and polka dots, chocolate and chilli, maple syrup and bacon, mmmmm bacon. The juxtaposition (check me out using 5 [...]
Whatever happened to dinner and a movie (or film - this is a London blog after all) The classic date night. Just enough mix of conversation and escapism we need for a functioning relationship in 2018, and it involves popcorn. Winning. Nowadays it feels like the #datenight is reserved only for places like Hakkasan, Sushi [...]
When did convenience and comfort become so crucial? I was sitting minding my own business at work when a colleague of mine blurts out the classic: ‘my grandma called – she wants her glasses back’. Chuckle. Very original. But it got me thinking, I used to jest with my mum about her spectacle chain: Why! [...]
This Saturday I donned my Reebok Classics and ventured to the depths of South London for a Macklemore gig at Brixton Academy. I love the Brixton Academy, it's such a cool venue, not too big, or too small, great acoustics, awesome dancing space and the loos are vaguely clean! I've been here more times then [...]
Very little rhymes with sober, apart from - paradoxically - hangoverPeople are often interested in what I do for fun now I'm in recovery. It's a question I'm asked a lot by the patients in the rehab I help out at (the rehab that saved my life). The simple answer is anything that doesn't involve me drinking or taking [...]
Spring has sprung! Well for today at least, (you never know here, The Great British Isles like to keep us on our toes and always carrying a brolly). Along with the new season, new thoughts enter the female brain (well, my female brain at least); Must get my Spring/Summer clothes out of the attic/cellar/from under the bed soon [...]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Big eeeeeks! My first ever fashion post. I'm still not sure how the whole fashion/sobriety/lifestyle niche is going to work out, but I love fashion and I LOVE sobriety so let's see what I can conjure and work with it for a while... Perusing my local Tesco's superstore on a [...]
Not sure if I'm clutching at straws with this title but let's give it a whirl! Getting into the habit of being thankful is one of the greatest things I have learnt in recovery. Growing up I was taught to be grateful for what I had, but the consumer culture of always wanting more, having the [...]
Yesterday I had my first ever rugby experience, England vs Ireland on St Paddy's day at Twickenham. Not a bad way to start if I do say so myself. Here's a few things I learnt; Rugby men are big, like massive. I could have seen them without my contact lenses in - they really don't [...]
My names Katie and I’m an alcoholic, this is a sentence I say twice a week and will do for the rest of my life. I am living a life in recovery and have been doing so since 24.5.2016 and I love it. I’ve had a few reactions when I tell people the reasons why [...]
