At the weekend I met up with some lovely Manchester bloggers for another unique event from South Beach, which involved pizza, cocktails, candy floss, pick ‘n mix and… Clueless! That’s right, we enjoyed a private screening of the funniest, girliest 90’s movie there is over at Manchester’s independent cinema The Cornerhouse. I always forget how … Continue reading South Beach Movie Day

They aren’t particularly pretty or … Continue reading My Autumn Essentials

I recently discovered Rock On Ruby’s slogan tops and was inspired to write this post on how I’d style some of my favourites… but then I decided to go one step further and create my own bespoke … Continue reading Disney Wishes and Pineapple Print
Slogan tees are so popular this summer and last weekend I was introduce to the brand Rock on Ruby at the Manchester Blogger Meet. They have the most amazing selection of slogan tops including a Mean Girls range as well as a fairytales range, which are both right up my street.

Yesterday I met up with some other North West bloggers for the Manchester Bloggers Meet, and because the weather was still gorgeous I decided to wear my lovely maxi skirt from Zara.

Here's just one more outfit post from my Barcelona trip. There aren't many shots of it but I wanted to share it because light printed trousers are one of my new holiday wardrobe essentials. Sometimes when the weather is hot and there's a lot of walking to do, curvier girls can suffer from, er, a little thigh … Continue reading Crochet Cami and Printed Trousers
