With the hottest weather we’ve seen all year taking place last weekend, my husband and I seized the day and decided to take a spontaneous trip to Oxford to revel in the rare glorious weather for the weekend. Saturday was spent exploring the historic and quaint town, having delicious baguettes for lunch, strolling through the University parks, walking along the river (what started as a gentle stroll through the park…
Our Mauritius Honeymoon…
After two years of planning, our wedding and honeymoon are now over. Thank you all for your lovely messages on our wedding day. It was truly memorable and it’s true what they say – it went by so quickly. I want to do it all again! We’ve had a sneak peak of some of our wedding pictures and they’re beautiful. We’ll be viewing all of them on Sunday and selecting…

What’s In My Wedding Bag?
With the wedding now so close I’m organising the smaller details and preparing my little bag for the day. I wanted something sparkly so when I spotted this bag in Accessorize it was perfect for the occasion and I thought it was reasonably priced at £30. Elnett Hairspray My hair drops curls and volume quickly so my back-up plan is to take a can of mini hairspray in case I need it. LED…
Holiday Essentials
Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25 I don’t wear makeup during the day on holiday so this is the perfect product to even out skin tone and protect my skin. It has the same amount of coverage and colour as a tinted moisturiser so I don’t feel completely barefaced. Clinique SPF 35 Protection Stick This is a great little product to carry around on holiday for quick applications to the…
Four Years Ago…
…my life changed. Today my fiancé Matt and I celebrate our four year anniversary. It seems like yesterday I was writing about our second year anniversary, and shortly afterwards, his magical proposal, and now here we are, just a few months away from celebrating our wedding day. Within six months of our relationship, we were talking about marriage, and all the cliches you hear about love, you suddenly realise they’re true – you really…
Take My Hand & Walk With Me…
I’ve been a bit AWOL lately. Wedding planning has been taking up a lot of time and then with the long Easter break, blogging took a back seat. The 11 day Easter break was like a miniature summer holiday. The weather was perfection and it gave my fiancé and I much appreciated time together just to relax and enjoy each others company. Here’s how we spent it… We started off the break by…
My Perfume Collection
Like most girly girls, I love collecting perfumes. With such a huge array of fragrances available with various brands and packaging on offer for a range of budgets, it’s one of those things where you can never have too many! L-R: Lacoste Joy of Pink – £36.99 for 50ml EDT I received this at the Lacoste Joy of Pink launch and it’s perfect for Spring time, a fresh and invigorating scent….
Looking Back & Going Forward
It seems just like yesterday I wrote last year’s Looking Back & Going Forward. This year seems to have passed more quickly than any other and I fear as I get older, time passes faster. Here’s a little summary of the past year and my hopes for the year ahead… What happened in 2010… ♥ I had my first real job ♥ I experimented with ombre hair ♥ I joined the organ donation register…
