So as promised here is my post all about my trip to Barcelona last week. It really is a fantastic city to visit, and like Nice (another favourite holiday destination of mine) it has everything you could want – beach, weather, shopping, sights, culture, food… the list goes on. We were there for 4 days … Continue reading Travel: Barcelona in Review
I've just got back from my trip to Barcelona, which was amazing! It's such a great city and I'll be posting about it shortly, but first here's a quick outfit post. This is what I wore one evening for a stroll along the beach to the Olympic Port. Barcelona has a MANGO and Zara on practically every corner (which … Continue reading Barcelona Strolling – Stripes and Florals
Watching musicals at the theatre is one of my favourite ways to spend an evening and my iPod is jam packed full of musicals soundtracks (and very little else), so this tag (seen over at Cocktails in Teacups) is just my thing. If you're a fan of musical theatre too why not take part in … Continue reading The Musical Theatre Tag
Dry shampoo is a bathroom essential for me - it's a saviour on those days when there's no time for washing and drying my hair and I need some urgent assistance. Until now I've been a Batiste user through and through because my previous attempts at trying other brands have been quite underwhelming. However... that has … Continue reading Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo
This week I celebrated my 30th birthday at Albert's restaurant and bar in Worsley. Everyone I mentioned it to had only good things to say about this place, and I'd already had a good experience at Albert's Didsbury, so I decided it would be a great choice. Albert's Worsley is the third Albert's restaurant to open in Manchester and is located … Continue reading Albert’s Restaurant and Bar
So yesterday was my 30th birthday, and rather than one big 30th party I have been celebrating in different exciting ways that suit all the different sides of my personality. I embraced my childish side with my recent trip to Disneyland Paris.I celebrated silliness and fun with friends at a fab Greek night complete with Greek … Continue reading 30th Birthday Celebrations and Plans
Selfridges have been hosting a series of thought-provoking talks as part of The Beauty Project, and last week I decided to attend The Good, The Bad and the Beautiful – a discussion on the Beauty Industry and the role of beauty in women’s’ lives. The inspirational panel consisted of writer Emma Jane Unsworth (right), fashion … Continue reading The Role of Beauty in Our Lives
This will probably be my last post on my recent Disney trip, but I wanted to share my souvenirs with you. I love Disney merch but I hate having souvenirs with no purpose that just gather dust, so I just treated myself to a few cute items that will most definitely get used! Last time … Continue reading My Disney Souvenirs
My daisy print pencil skirt was the basis of this simple day-to-night outfit which I wore to work last Thursday and then on to the South Beach blogger event over at Lola's cocktail bar. The skirt is from Dorothy Perkins, who continue to surprise me with their collection. I always see so many things I like … Continue reading Daisy Print Pencil Skirt
On Thursday evening I escaped Manchester's grey skies for an event hosted by South Beach. It was held in Lola's cocktail lounge in the Northern Quarter where the tiki décor was a perfect match for the beach- and swimwear brand. It was (almost) like being on holiday for real. The friendly bartenders instantly made us welcome with their … Continue reading South Beach Hi-Summer Event
