New Kid on the Block

I've been staring at this blank post for about twenty minutes trying to figure out how to do this...how exactly do I write my very first post on my first EVER blog?! I'm definitely in unchartered waters people!!

My name is Natalie, a twentysomething living in London. I love Beyoncé, condiments and tie dye...not necessarily in that order!

I've been following blogs for a long time and it was during a blog related natter that my friend Ellie asked "Why don't you start a blog?". Secretly I have wished I had a little slice of the internet for myself but have ALWAYS been plagued by the question of what should I write about....I mean, what is MY niche!? I'm not a trend setter, I'm usually late to the party (both literally and metaphorically) and quite frankly who would be interested in what I have to say? After mulling it over for several months, if not years, (and several pep talks later) I've got to the point where i think..ahhhh what the hell, here goes nothing!

I've been in London for nearly three years now and I love it but sometimes I feel likes she (yes London is a lady) chews me up and spits me out both emotionally and financially. I can often take for granted that I live in one of the best cities in the world where anything is possible. Natalie Riot in the City is going to push me to make the most of this fair city instead of hibernating in my onesie watching rubbish, yet throughly entertaining TV. It's going to be a journal of my life in the city.... the things I see and do, the things I like, my home and place in the city with a splattering of fashion and beauty.

This is all very new to me so any tips or advise you can offer to help me along would be embraced lovingly!

Look forward to sharing this all with you...Welcome to my slice :)

ps - MASSIVE thank you to my blogging guru and bestie Ellie and the boy for helping kick this thing off!
