Dressing for the autumn with NA-KD

October 3, 2018 in fashion

I love this time of year. I love it when it starts to get a bit chilly and I can get the boots and the jumpers out again. It is always so much easier to dress for the colder months than for the summer....

On Saturday I went down to London for a much neede On Saturday I went down to London for a much needed break. My plan was to eat a lot of good food and visit a few museums before heading to the Royal Albert Hall to see my favourite band @garbage with @placeboworld and forget about all my stresses for a day. 

However, once I found out about the @togetheralliance march against the far right, I scrapped my plans (apart from the gig, I still went to that) and headed to Park Lane to join my first ever protest. 

I think it’s so important to use your voice, fight for what you believe in and do your best to make a difference. 

There’s so much shit going on in the world and people need to stop burying their heads in the sand. I’m sick of hearing people saying things like “I don’t do politics” or “what’s the point of voting?” but also moaning about things like the NHS, the cost of living, tax, education, worker’s rights etc. If you want to have a say, you need to get involved, go out and vote in your local elections on May 7th. 

Make more noise and make hope normal again.

My first protest - Together Alliance March Against My first protest - Together Alliance March Against the Far Right on Saturday 28th March. 

What a wonderful, uplifting day - half a million people from different cultures and backgrounds across the UK came together for one important cause. 

I had a day of visiting museums planned, but when I realised this march was taking place, my plans changed. I think it’s so important to stand up for what you believe in and use your voice. 

It’s time to make hope normal again.

The final stop on my trip last April was Vienna. A The final stop on my trip last April was Vienna. Austria was another new country to me and I’d wanted to visit the capital for years.

I got a bus from Vaduz back into Switzerland and started my 7 hour train journey from Buchs SG to Vienna. The journey went so quickly, even with a small delay and the views from the train were stunning. We went from Switzerland, into Liechenstein, over to Austria, into Germany and then back into Austria. 

Unfortunately, I really didn’t enjoy Vienna. The architecture was stunning, so were the parks but it was just so busy and I found the locals to be really rude and unwelcoming. 

Despite this, I found lots to do, starting with a free walking tour so I could get my bearings and learn about some of the history of the city. This is one thing I’ll always do when I’m in a new place. I also visited two cafes that had cats, browsed a flea market, stumbled across an Easter market where I got a lángos, visited the Imperial Crypt, sat in Volksgarten for a couple of hours with my kindle and did a lot of walking. 

I stayed in a very futuristic looking pod, which cost me £40 a night. I was a bit dubious but it was really roomy and comfortable plus it offered me a bit more privacy for my last two nights after I’d shared rooms for the rest of my trip. 

I’m in no rush to go back to Vienna, but I would give it another go. I’d like to try different parts of Austria at some point but I think I’ll give it a while!
