The lack of posts over the past week in due to the fact that I've been enjoying a much-earned break down in Weymouth, Dorset. Below is a selection of images from our holiday. We were based in a cute, nautical-inspired apartment on Weymouth harbour-side, next door to the delicious smells of fish and chips coming … Continue reading A week in pictures (a.k.a. holiday snaps)
My wish list for the weekend is inspired by other lovely bloggers out there. This is proof that reading blogs actually turns out to be expensive, as it tends to make me lust after things! For example, I saw these ombre tights on What Emma Did, and they really caught my attention! You could definately style … Continue reading This week’s wish list
Manchester is such an amazing place to live because there is always something going on. To prove this point I found out that Boots (Market Street) will be offering free skin consultations with No7 experts this Wednesday (18th April) between 6pm and 8pm, and sadly I cannot go as I’m already fully booked! I’m now … Continue reading Skin consultations this Wednesday in Manchester

Easter always seems to be about chocolate, even when (like this year) I don't get any Easter eggs. On Saturday night I attended a murder mystery dinner party hosted by friends. The theme was 1950's Hollywood and I was Marilyn Mansfield (that's a Marilyn Monroe/Jane Mansfield cross, so think blonde bombshell, figure-hugging dress, faux fur, … Continue reading Death by chocolate….
What on earth is going on with the weather? This time last week I was basically wearing shorts! Now in Manchester I’m wrapping up warm and even seeing specks of snow in the air! Even so, I’m all about the spring/summer clothes now (there’s no going back), and when I saw this pair of rainbow … Continue reading The rainbow connection
I'm still working with a tight budget thanks to the decision to book two holidays in one month, but this doesn't stop me window shopping and even actual shopping when the urge strikes. I usually justify this by telling myself that I need certain items for my holidays, but also, it's hard to continually resist every … Continue reading Shopping the spring trends – bargain style!

Striped skirt - Primark; vest - H&M; sunglasses - Fossil; rainbow necklace - ASOS (old); gold metallic pumps - New Look; yellow bag - Wallis (old) Sporty is a difficult look. For one thing I'm not in the least bit sporty! Also I don't want to look like I'm actually about to play sport - and sometimes it can … Continue reading Go-faster stripes
Miss Selfridge is not usually one of my frequent destinations - I’m not really sure why, but when I go there it’s usually because I’ve just “ended up” there. And when I “ended up” there today I came across this gorgeous DESIGNED BY collection – an exclusive premium capsule collection featuring beautiful digi prints. Sadly, … Continue reading The outfit I couldn’t afford today…
