This was the first time that I’ve ever been contacted directly by the writer of a book asking if I’d like to review it, but when Summer Land got in touch about her amusing memoirs “Summerlandish” I thought, why not? I am always looking for something new to read and it seemed like a fun … Continue reading Book Review: Summerlandish
This is my new favourite weekend casual look - a bit of statement monochrome with this geo print... (is it a cardigan? It's called a cardigan but it doesn't feel like one) paired with palest blush pink, the perfect spring shade. What's great is that it's the comfiest outfit ever thanks to these acid wash … Continue reading Geo Print Monochrome and Blush Pink Layers

One of the nicest things about Manchester is discovering its hidden gems - there are some really lovely places tucked away and they’re great finds for the people who stumble upon them. After working in the city centre for 3 years I’ve eaten lunch in a lot of places, so I thought I'd share some of … Continue reading Manchester Hidden Gems: Lunch Spots

On Saturday the sun was shining around Manchester so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for a walk around Salford Quays. I’m glad we made the most of it while it lasted as Sunday was a bit of a washout, and even though it was actually quite blustery I still got chance to do some outfit … Continue reading A Waterside Walk in New Sandals
I recently attended the preview of Cocktails in the City, which was held in Cloud23 in Manchester Hilton. (It was my first time in this bar in the sky and its stunning views across Manchester did not disappoint!) Cocktails in the City is an "two night cocktail extravaganza" which brings together representatives from twenty of the best cocktail bars … Continue reading Cocktails in the City
Like any self-respecting Disney fan I have loved the first 3 seasons of Once Upon a Time, and when it released on UK Netflix along with the brand new episodes from season 4 it was a very exciting moment! I don’t want to give any spoilers away for anyone who hasn’t caught up yet, so … Continue reading Why I Don’t Love Once Upon A Time-Does-Frozen
This weekend I ended up doing quite a bit of shopping (seems to be an Easter tradition of mine), so even though "haul posts" aren't something I usually do, this weekend really seemed to call for one. Here's what I've been buying... These rose gold sandals from Dolcis were on my wishlist at the end of … Continue reading Sneak Peeks of My Easter Shopping
What would Easter weekend be without a bit of chocolate? So as I have a few days off I thought it would be the perfect time to try this clean chocolate brownie recipe that came recommended by my sister. I've not tried clean eating yet but I have no objection to trying out new recipes … Continue reading Clean Eating: Avocado & Banana Chocolate Brownies
