Just another quick one… Just to say… how pretty is Media City in Manchester at dusk!

Ok, that’s all for now

Here are some pictures anyway! I hope that you like them…

Yes, I did wore a tie and bright pink lipstick for a walk, and yes I REALLY need to improve my ‘jump photo’, and no, Matt wouldn’t play and just stood there!

However I hope you like them, Dunham Massey is well worth a visit, and we will give it another go in Summer!

Thanks for reading

This is just a quick one… The beautiful flowers Matt got me for my birthday have finally flowered so I thought I would share some pictures of them with you!

Lillies and Yellow Roses are my favourites so it just goes to show how well my wonderful man knows me! I am thrilled with them!

Hope they brighten up your day too!

Thanks for reading

I hope you’re well, I have a been a bit busy for the past week or so and have got a few crazy things going on in my life but I wont bore you with most of it!

The big one… I am 30 next week, on Tuesday in fact… I am excited..? Erm… not exactly. However I have had some time to get used to the idea and it no longer brings me to tears at the thought of it!

Lets face it… birthdays usually bring one thing… presents!! haha. Yes I am that shallow! So here is my wish list of some things I would like at the moment…

Miss Selfridge
Embroidered Midi Dress
£47

I love this dress from Miss Selfridge I think it’s beautiful, the perfect mix of feminine and sexy! They do it in cream too… yes please!

Regal Rose
Amazonite Pendulum Necklace
£16

Sadly this gorgeous necklace is sold out at the moment so you cannot purchase, but I think I need this in my collection! This the first of 2 items I would like from Regal Rose and they’re both sold out (sob sob)

Missguided
Evil Eye Slipper Shoes
£19.99

Oh my gosh, how gorgeous are these shoes! I love love love them! I have been buying heels lately which is rare for me, but I LOVE these! Well done Missguided!

Boohoo
Boutique Grace Tapestry Trim Trophy Jacket
£45

I love this Jacket from Boohoo, I think it has a metallic thread running through it which I wouldn’t be sure about until I saw it in real life but I love the idea of it! I saw this on Nicola Claire‘s blog and just fell in love with it!

Sass and Belle
Rose Garland – Light Pink
£7.45

Sass and Belle will be getting a lot of my money when we finally get around to doing the second bedroom! I can see this lovely garland wrapped around a shelf! Heaven!

Regal Rose
Clear Crystal Pendant Necklace
£17

This is the second piece from Regal Rose – again also sadly sold out at the moment! But I love love love this pendant! I need it in my life!!

And last but not least…

Boohoo
Boutique Minnie Contrast Band Lace Prom Dress
£40

Boohoo boutique at the moment is just simply amazing, I pretty much like everything!! This dress is just amazing, if I had seen it sooner I might have bought it for one of my birthday parties, but alas, I will have to find another reason! Shame it’s too white to wear to a wedding!

So yes, that’s my current wish list, let’s be honest there are LOADS of things I want at the moment but these are towards the top of the list!

Hope you like them

Thanks for reading!

This post is a little overdue… I actually went to Stockport Vintage Village months ago, perhaps December, I think. I love days like this, nothing makes me happier than having a wander around the past, I am pretty much convinced I was born the wrong era… no, this isn’t the usual cliché, I don’t want to go back in time and live in the Victorian times, too much disease for my liking, I want to go forward to when they have invented time machines so I can pop back to all of the different eras and experience them all!

Anyway… I digress! Stockport Vintage Village is held in the beautiful indoor markets which do in fact date back to the Victorian times, a must see on it’s own! The second Sunday of every month it is invaded by all things vintage and lovely.

Here are a couple of pictures from my day, I hope you like them

There was more than enough to see, do, eat, drink… you can even have your hair done! So I will definitely be going back!

If you want more information on when and where to visit please just click here

Thanks everyone, speak to you soon

Me again! The reason I have not posted too much of late is not because I haven’t wanted to, it is mainly down to the fact I haven’t been doing anything remotely exciting. I am not exaggerating.

The last 2 weekends have been filled with eBay… I am not kidding you! I have decided that I need to raise some funds and sell some of my stuff… but seriously HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE! I’m my first weekend I made about £85 which I think is pretty good effort so I will keep it up, but it is not a process that I could claim to enjoy!

We are planning a mini refurb on our second bedroom so have been planning lots of things for that too… my love for antique furniture will have to put on a back burner though for this room as it will be a purely practical room, I will show you some progress pics I think… yes I will! With that, I will leave this topic here and upload a ‘before’ post when we start properly on the project!

So the most exciting thing I have done in past few weeks is that it was the mothers birthday, my mum is like my best friend, I adore her so this is always an exciting night for me. We went out for a meal at a Thai restaurant near me called Siam Village. So, I took some outfit photos… please do not get excited… I am new to this, as is my lovely photographer Matt so they’re nothing special but hopefully I will gradually improve on this! I don’t know, I might even try to be consistent about whether or not to have the light on? What do you think?

Hmmmm I have clearly done something weird with the colour again! I don’t have bright red hair! Anyway my jumper is from H&M, Hat is very old so I cannot even remember where I got this from. Necklace is from Primark and my skirt is from Topshop (this link is to the actual skirt).

Talking about my hair… I don’t think I have mentioned that I am on a looooooong journey, I made the decision to grow my colour out, which is not easy when it’s as long as mine is. My natural colour is now down to about my shoulders from the top of my head, the temptation to chop it into a bob is over whelming!

Anyway… that’s my random ponderings for this Saturday morning, I am going for another walk at Dunham Massey today (rock and roll hey) so more pictures of the lovely outdoors will more than likely follow!

Muchas Love – I will speak to you all soon

I live up the road from one of my favourite place within Cheshire, Bramhall Park.  which on Sunday I went for a walk around with my sister-in-law Lucy, here are a few of the photo’s I took on this very very very cold Sunday afternoon. Bramhall Park, and too Bramhall Hall really make me feel at home, I grew up near here, walking these grounds, I truly love it, I hope you like them and enjoy ‘my place’ as much as I do.

OK so… I have to rush off now as 2 Broke Girls is on…

Hope you like my little slice of heaven

It’s me again! Yep I am BACK! My blog will be taking a bit of a change… I have had some time off to think about what I want to do with it, and now I am back! There will still be all the fashion bits and bobs and but also just what I have been up to lately! Lord knows if anyone will be interested or read it, but here I am and I am going to write it anyway!

This is my favourite ring, my partner Matt, this is really his mums but she gave it to me because she is just that lovely. It’s a large amethyst stone, which is my birthstone set in gold.

This one of my favourite things in my house it’s my Kidrobot Ninja! If you haven’t heard of Kidrobot, where have you been. Anyone who is anyone in the mildly nerdy circles has shelves full of ‘designer vinyl’ and they are the coolest things!

Paris is one of my favourite cities on earth… I have been a couple of times and it just keeps getting better and better, this is a hanging ornament that a friend bought for me. Behind it are a couple of necklaces that at the moment are used as decorations, The heart and cherub one… I can’t really remember where it was from, possible Mikey. The other is the All Saints Star Necklace and is a particular favourite of mine – also a present, I am a lucky girl!Another of my favourite cities is Manchester – the one I live it! This is just a quick snap I took of some of the newer buildings

This is just a close up of a wall in Manchester, I loved the way the blue light highlighted the texture on the wall!

It’s easy to make your childhood live on… basically fill your house with toys! Lego and Beatrix Potter are 2 of my favourites (apparently favourite is my favourite word in this post!)

That’s it for today! Just a little insight into my world and I got to play with my camera! Plenty of photo heavy posts to come!

Thanks for being so patient and I hope you like the new blog
