A wedding video was never something I gave much thought to during the early stages of wedding planning, but after immersing myself in the online world of weddings, I realised having one was an essential part to the day. In this modern era where fantastical and mind boggling new technology is launched daily, it seemed strange not to consider having one of the most momentous days of our life captured…
Happy Mother’s Day
Wishing my wonderful mum a fantastic Mother’s Day! The most kind, joyful and loving woman I’ve ever known who lights up any room she’s in with her laughter and enthusiasm.
Our Weekend in London
Back when it was Christmas (doesn’t it feel like a lifetime ago?!) Matt and I received an amazing present from my brother – tickets to see Matilda. We’re huge fans of the book and film so we were so excited to see how it would be interpreted as a musical. We decided to make a weekend of it and headed down to London on Saturday. After arriving at midday and…
Life in Instagram
My new ultra girly dress from ASOS, a few of the goodies that arrived in the post last week, my Whooga boots which have been a saviour after I blistered my feet traipsing around LFW, a selection of pastel jeans from River Island (which to choose?!) Prezzo with the family for my parent’s wedding 35th anniversary: my delicious bruschetta starter (taking a picture caused much amusement for my brothers –…
London Fashion Week
I had my first taste of London Fashion Week this week when I headed off there on Monday. It’s a strange surreal world where it seems the more freakishly you dress, the more fashionable you are deemed. Who knew I would feel the odd one out as I wasn’t decked out in bizarre combinations of colours and clothes which resembled my uni’s bad taste fancy dress nights a little too closely!…
The Manor House Hotel
I’m rather late in posting this but it was such a lovely weekend away I couldn’t resist blogging about it. December began in a wonderful way, first with my brother’s winter wedding where I was a bridesmaid and then the very next day it was my birthday. As I got in the passenger seat of our car to make the journey from London back to Nottingham (upon which I promptly…
My Week in Instagram
Aroundup of the last week or so: – The beautiful photo’s I ordered from Sweet Days with Elle & Mia, wrapping up in a Hayley Menzies (my lovely cousin’s collection!) cashmere & fur shawl to brave the snow, admiring my sparkling engagement and wedding rings, peeking out the window to look at the snow, lunch at our favourite pub The Rancliffe Arms on a beautiful sunny day, Matt keeping warm with a scarf whilst browsing…
Our English Country Garden Wedding
I can’t quite believe that it has already been five months since Matt and I said our vows. How quickly the time has flown! In the lead up to our wedding I had no nerves whatsoever. I was cool and calm up until the night before the big day, when during a meal with our families, they hit me full on and I could barely eat a thing! My bridemaids and…
Beauty Blogger Business Cards
During the excitement surrounding the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards event, talked soon turned to business cards as it was the perfect chance to network with other bloggers and brands. I’d been considering getting business cards for a while as there had been quite a few occasions when people had asked about my blog and it would have been the perfect time to hand over a card. I headed to Zazzle and had a…
If You’re a Bird, I’m a Bird
Back in July my husband and I had our pre-wedding shoot. For once the weather was on our side and amazingly it was the most glorious sunny day. We were feeling nervous but as soon as we met with our photographer Rachael Connerton we were completely put at ease and the next few hours passed in a blur of fun and laughter. Here are some of our favourite shots… Makeup…
