There’s been a lot of backlash about the increase in the price of stamps since 30th April (it’s now 60p for a first class!), but this new collection of stamps, which celebrates the best in British fashion since WWII, certainly appeals to me! The Great British Fashion Stamp Set is now available, and showcases some … Continue reading Stamps worth paying for…
Whilst going through some of my boxes of “stuff” I came across an unfinished Minicraft Sewing Kit of a mole. I always loved the idea of moles, with their velvety fur and spades for hands. Even though I know they don’t look quite as cute as this in real life, I remember getting this kit … Continue reading A mini crafty project
I must have been wandering round particularly cheerfully on account of the glorious weather (and the fact that I've been offered a new job!) because I completely forgot about my resolution to not buy anything else until pay day when I saw this gorgeous dress in Sainsbury's. It's from the Gok Wan range, and as you would … Continue reading Impulse purchase
For the past few days my life has been consumed with the Spring Fair – a fundraising event I co-organised for CATS Youth Theatre and the campaign to save the Theatre Church community venue. We planned all sorts of stalls (books, clothing, face painting and glitter tattoos, home-baked cakes, BBQ, car wash etc) and games … Continue reading Spring Fair finds
I went to Weymouth on the first of my spring holidays last week, and despite the pleasant weather none of my pairs of shorts or summery sandals had chance to make an appearance. Now back in Manchester it is quite clear that I need to stop shopping for cute summery dresses and pastel-coloured shorts and be … Continue reading Cute quilted cover-ups for spring
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
Snow White is so hot right now. 2012 will see not one but two Snow White films released at the cinema, although both quite different - Mirror Mirror is a quirky comedy with gorgeous costumes, whilst Snow White and the Huntsman looks dark and action-packed (I for one have always felt that Snow White was … Continue reading Which jewellery collection is fairest of them all?
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….
