The perfect letterbox gift: Aunty Banty’s Bakery Cake Pops.
Birthdays, anniversaries, new babies and ‘thinking of you’ moments have come and gone over the past three months. And I’ve left no virtual stone unturned on the internet in an attempt to find affordable, well-presented letterbox gifts with a decent delivery date and price from independent businesses. Pretty lengthy list, I know. And if you’ve…
Why “It could be worse” is the phrase we all need to nip in the bud.
The planet is stuck like a broken record on a sour, bum note and it’s managed to press pause, rewind and remix on all of our lives. The tune we’re all used to bopping along to has taken a big ol’ turn and in true British style, we’re taking the cordial high-road with our trusty…
The Happy Blossoms are the affordable dried flowers scattering every Instagram and fireplace.
Is it just me, or are dried flowers having a moment? They’ve been cropping up in more Instagram feeds, Etsy stores and conversations that I can keep count of recently. And dare I say it, but they’ve pipped fresh flowers to the post for me. I’ve always been a sucker for a good bunch of…
Is 28 too old for braces and to get the Osmond look?
“You want character in your teeth. Looking like an Osmond is boring.” No words have rang through my head more often over the past 12 years than those blase ones from my childhood dentist. I was a self-conscious 16 year old girl watching all her friends hop aboard the Perfect Pearlies Express and I was…
Page Turners: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
A book that’s probably graced the bedside table of almost every twenty-something year old woman and her dog, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is just a delight. It already had me at “Jojo Moyes approved”, but Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was also crowned Book of The Year as well as The Sunday Times Bestseller.…
Body hair, don’t care.
When I hear a friend, colleague or even stranger in the toilets on a night out say “I couldn’t be bothered shaving my legs”, it’s absolute music to my ears. Because most likely, neither could I. After I discovered razors in high school, I wouldn’t have been caught dead with a hair sprouting between my…
Catwalk Killa Launch Party
Firstly – long time, no blog! I’ve lost my blogging mojo a lil bit as of late, but I’m hoping to get back on it and start regularly posting again. A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Catwalk Killa launch party. The brand has just been set up by super…
#HomeIsWhereTheSpaIs: Current Body Event
Beauty and skincare aren’t areas I would ever call myself an expert in. So, when I got invited to attend the Current Body event in Manchester a couple of weeks ago, I jumped at the chance! It was held at the beautiful Artisan in Spinningfields, a truly lovely venue and perfect for such a classy…
One pair of Flares, Two Ways: Outfit 2
Jeans: Topshop/ Jacket: Tally Weijl/ Blouse: H&M/ Bag: New Look/ Scark: New Look via Asos Oh England. I didn’t think I’d still be wearing a shearling jacket in May but who am I kidding? It’s England, and coats are kinda an all year round thing! So here it is, the second way I’ve styled up…
One pair of Flares, Two Ways: Outfit 1
Flares: Topshop/ Jacket: H&M/ Top: H&M Flares, flares, flares; an item of clothing I never thought I’d buy into, but here I am sporting my second pair. Although I really love them, I’ll hold my hands up and admit that they’re pretty difficult to style! I’m used to throwing on a pair of skinny jeans…
