Fashion Lookbook

Thursday 26 February 2015

Welcome to our first ever sister collaboration Lookbook! This is something that we have both wanted to do since starting the blog, but living 4 hours apart and both having busy lives means that we don't get together as much as we would like. But luckily for us (and you) we managed to see each other over the weekend, and took the opportunity to take a few snaps of some of the outfits we have been wearing and loving lately.

Fighting Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Tuesday 24 February 2015


I have done a lot of thinking about what I would like to talk about in my first post and no matter how much I avoid it, something keeps bringing me back to a subject that is extremely personal and close to my heart. In fact, even writing this intro, I have found myself feeling over whelmed with emotion.

So without further a doo, lets get to it....

Ok, so to do this properly I should start from the beginning.


Wedding Series: My Search for the Perfect Floral Crown

Thursday 19 February 2015


The setting for my wedding is in the beautiful Gunay's Garden in Turkey. The theme of my wedding consequently has become floaty, fresh and quite rightly excessively floral. This has lead me on the search for the perfect floral crowns for both my bridesmaids and I.

Wedding Series: Shopping Around

Tuesday 17 February 2015




For those of you who have ever planned a Wedding you will understand the thoughts I was faced with when I first started planning mine. "Oh my that's expensive" comes to mind when I think back to my first Wedding exhibition experience. I soon mastered the art of keeping a straight face when prices were revealed to me instead of a look of utter shock. Weddings. Are. Expensive. End of. But do not fear, for those of us that do not have a never ending budget (myself included) there are ways of cutting these costs without having the compromise on quality.

Wedding Series: An Introduction

Thursday 12 February 2015



My fiancĂ© (Doug) and I celebrated our 8 year Anniversary in October, and Christmas marked 3 years of engagement and now we are finally counting down to our wedding in September! I have decided to do a  wedding series so that I can share with you all my planning successes and no doubt stresses along the way. Before I jump into that I thought I would introduce you to our relationship to give you a bit of background of us.

My Weight Loss Journey

Sunday 8 February 2015


I asked on Twitter not long ago if I should do a Health and Fitness series on the Blog, and the general consensus was that I should, starting with my weight Loss Journey. The first disclaimer is that I am no expert in fitness and nutrition, this is just simply my story and how I lost nearly 5 Stone since I started almost 6 years ago. My second disclaimer is that I am not about to inform you of some miracle weight loss trick, unfortunately to my knowledge this does not currently exist!

January Favourites 2014

Tuesday 3 February 2015

 

The end of January marks the end of my first month of blogging. And oh what a month is has been! My aim at the start of it was to post every week on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and I am happy to say that I have stuck to this schedule and that I am proud of that work that I have produced. So my first January favourite is Beauty Dupe! Anyone who has every started a blog will know that there is a lot more work that goes into that you may have first thought, but if like me you love everything about blogging then all the hard work is worth every minute.

The Body Shop Haul

Sunday 1 February 2015





A few weeks ago I was invited to a friends house where she was hosting a Body Shop Party. It was a great evening where a Body Shop representative came along with lots of skin care and makeup goodies for us to all try out and if we wanted anything we could place an order. The added bonus was that on that evening we were given 30% off any products that weren't in the new line!
