    NICE PHOTO DIARY | QUEENBEADY

    nice-header

    The moment we glided over the French Riviera on our descent, with the blue, crystal water and super yachts beneath us it appeared we had already entered heaven without even touching down yet. I’d been invited kindly by UniversityRooms.com to review some of their accommodation for a weekend and boy was I excited to arrive in the throws of this beautiful, elegant town. It was like Nice welcomed us with open arms. The sun beating down as we pounded the pavements to our apartment and the sea lapping against the pebble beach to our left. I uttered the words “I don’t want to go home” before we had even been there 15 minutes.

    IT’S NICE IN NICE WITH UNIVERSITY ROOMS | QUEENBEADY

    Back in July we made a little trip to Nice, a weekend of pure bliss (I so wish we could have spent longer there!) I’d been kindly invited by University Rooms to stay in one of their many university accommodations. After finding some cheap flights from Leeds Bradford on the 8th July we flew across to the French Riviera and boy, did we fall in love? After a very short journey on the bus and a very long walk because we go off at the wrong stop we eventually ended up at our accommodation, Résidence France Riviera. It was a little unassuming, set on the road that is set back just behind the promenade. With pretty wooden shutters and Juliette balconies it was the perfect start to our French adventure.

    M.I.A UPDATE | QUEENBEADY

    Wow, so it’s nearly two weeks since I went M.I.A on this blog. I wrote a little post on where I was going & a little bit about why here. With a huge wave of Bloggers, it’s hard to get lost in a sea of sameness and I felt like I was floating in and out of that “sameness” myself. I’ve tried so hard these last few years to curate blog posts that don’t just showcase fashion but also have a good meaning behind them, too. Let truth be told a lot of it is down to the fact that I am hankering after a holiday. A long one. One where it’s not just a touchdown visit for a few days or one where I’m working quite intensely with a brand whilst I’m there. It’s been nice to not think about deadlines or what my weekly stats are like, I’ve just lived these last few weeks.

    TIME FOR A BREAK | QUEENBEADY

    I very rarely jump on bandwagons so today’s post is really about why I’m so bored at the moment. I’m bored of Blogging, I’m bored of seeing the same old shit and I’m actually not missing Blogging 3 or 4 times a week. In fact in my last post I write about how I’m lacking enthusiasm at the moment – I’m struggling for content ideas. My brain has temporarily shut down. And I’m not beating myself up about it. (Well I kinda am because I’m writing this post.) But I feel I need to physically write it down here that I’m actually giving myself a (mental) break.

    I’m sure, most people who read this blog are bloggers too so I know you’ll understand when I say, “GIRL, I AM STUCK IN A RUT.” Every now & then throughout the year I find myself really struggling for content. My mind closes up on me and says “Not today Bee. Not today.” meaning no amount of word vomiting can create a coherent blog post. Except, I know I’m word vomiting now about not being able to word vomit. Sorry, did I just “inception” you right there? We’ve all been there. Some weeks I could create content for days and have scheduled posts ready and raring to go at every turn, except recently I’ve hit my half-yearly slump.
