Last weekend I was invited to a bloggers breakfast at The Sweet Shop at into Trafford Centre. 8am was pretty early for a Saturday, but I’ve always had a soft spot for traditional-style sweet shops since I worked in one at the age of 16, so the allure of glass jars full of sweets was … Continue reading The Sweet Shop
I’d never seen a show at the Royal Exchange theatre, which probably made it the only theatre in Manchester that I hadn’t been inside. But it’s always nice to see and do new things, so this weekend I watched the Sweeney Todd there – a suitably gruesome show for Halloween week. First of all, I … Continue reading Sweeney Todd at the Royal Exchange
At the moment I'm a bit obsessed with other people's homes - I'm loving "at home" blog posts and I've been carried away a few times on Pinterest with "home interior inspiration". I'm definitely a little unsatisfied with my décor at the moment and am dying to go on a home-themed spree, but there's no … Continue reading Zara Home Accessories: My Picks
This Halloween I put together a costume, but strangely it wasn’t ghoulish or creepy, or even the Mean Girls Halloween combo of lingerie + animal ears. That’s because the party I went to this year was a murder mystery, and I had a specific character to create. I love the idea of a murder mystery … Continue reading My “Halloween” Outfit
I received a sample pot of this cupcake face mask in a goodie bag that Lush were giving out to people on Fashion’s Night Out. Of all the Lush fresh face masks it seems the most appealing at first glance – it’s called cupcake for one, and looks and smells like chocolate for another. But actually … Continue reading Lush Cupcake Face Mask
Today's outfit post was photographed in the grounds of Nutters restaurant, so I hope you enjoy the autumnal leafiness. It really was a lovely setting. The occasion was a Sunday lunch in a nice restaurant, which to me requires a smart-ish daytime look, so I decided to wear my cute new swing dress from BANK. I've … Continue reading What I Wore: Silver Swing Dress
Yesterday I decided to make use of my birthday voucher for Nutters - a restaurant owned by celeb chef Andrew Nutter and boasting some great award credentials as well being highly recommended by a friend! After researching all the different menu options we decided to visit on a Sunday as the Sunday lunch set menu seemed … Continue reading Sunday Lunch at Nutters
It's nice that the cooler weather has set in now as it means I can finally start wearing cute autumn outfits like this one (worn yesterday for a lunch date and Disney on Ice). I just love this fox jumper which was sent to me by Tu at Sainsburys – it’s so cozy and cute and … Continue reading Autumn Lunch Date Outfit
After an unusually stressful Friday at work I was really looking forward to what I had planned for Saturday – lunch in Manchester with my sister and… Disney on Ice!! We decided to have lunch at the chic contemporary restaurant Room on King Street and try out their set price lunch menu. I’ve visited Room … Continue reading Saturday Fun Featuring Steak and Disney
I’ve been using this B. Ready Day Cream for my face for about a month and I am loving it! It’s from B., Superdrug’s own clinically-tested premium skincare range, and it cost me just £6.66 for 50ml as it was on offer, but I even think the normal price of £9.99 is quite reasonable. Superdrug … Continue reading B. Ready Day Cream
