The Absolute Best Dress Ever!


Oh my gosh. Would you look at this dress?! I bought it in the ModCloth autumn sale a few weeks ago. It was the first thing I had bought from them and I was SO excited. I have a wishlist with about 300 things on (yeah I can dream) but as I live in England I was a little worried about postage etc. Plus a lot of the things I like are a weeee bit pricey... But! Here is my beautiful Emily & Fin dress and I love love love it! It has pockets! Is there anything better than a dress with pockets?! It came in the loveliest packaging too. It is such beautiful material and the perfect fit. I love everything about it. Unfortunately it sold out so I can't link you to it, however this dress by E&F is the same shape/style and also super cute!

Did you get anything in the sale? Do you have a perfect dress?

Ooh, and if you haven't already - check out the After Glow app! Really great lomography image styles.

Polka Dots


I've been wondering for a while what I could do to spruce up our little bedroom. There is no space to add any furniture, and not really any room to put anything pretty on the dressing table! We need to repaint the room white, as it is currently a shade of nasty cream. Unfortunately the lady who leased the place before us smoked a lot. Thankfully the smell went quite quickly! With no room to add anything further, I've been trying to think of something a little special to do - and I think this is it! I love polka dots. Don't they just instantly make you happy? Simple and beautiful. With a little more art on the opposite wall, a new lightshade (I have a great DIY coming up for this!) and a wee bit of spray paint... We will have a lovely, cozy bedroom :)

Do you have any decorating tips for small spaces?

Swallows & Mustard

Cardigan: H&M / Dress: H&M / Boots: New Look / Tights: H&M / Bag: Accessorize / Belt: New Look /

I switched mirrors this time so you could see my cute boots! It's dark in the mornings here now so I had the big lamp on. It is SO much harder to drag myself out of bed when it's dark. Even if it's the exact same time as usual - my head just tells me it's wrong to get up in the dark ha. I got this dress in the sale for £7.99!! I adore it. I've been looking for the perfect bird print dress for a long time, and this was just perfect. The swallows are almost tattoo like, and the shirt style is so flattering! My favorite dress right now for sure :)

Red Cups & A&E


Something awesome? Having our first red cups on my birthday :) And if that wasn't great enough, they were buy one get one free! So of course we had to get venti's. I had a gingerbread late which was DELISH but definitely not as gingerbready as I was expecting. Liam had a toffee nut latte - and they mixed our names up as you could probably have guessed ha. We grabbed them quick on the way to my Dad's for birthday raclette & wine. I'm a pretty big food fan, I'll eat almost anything - but if it involves cheese I'm totally in 100% ;)


This little cutie is my fiance Liam. Although this picture was from early summer, I think it will always be one of my favorites. One of those happy candid moments :)

I had a pretty poopy phone call in the early hours this morning. Liam called saying he had gotten really ill in work and they had to call an ambulance to take him to A&E. He had been in the hospital all night hooked up to a drip, but was feeling a little better now and expected to be discharged soon. Why he refused to call me earlier I do not know! They couldn't find anything wrong so put it down to exhaustion from work. That's kinda what happens when you work 16 hour night shifts and frequently forget to eat and drink! I'm hoping that with some good sleep, food and water he should be back to normal soon.


I took this picture the week we got together, seven and a half years ago.

That Room We Avoid...

What a strange week. I've felt like I've been SO busy... but I've not really done anything apart from sleep and work. Apologies for the lack of posts this week but I've been feeling a little under the weather, and needed to sleep it off. Still a little groggy but all is good in the hood!

Check out our spare room. It's actually worse than this picture too, as we have just added a table and chairs into 'The Pile'. Most of the stuff in there at the moment is stuff from my Mum's house when she moved, that we are to eBay. All funds for the big W! That's the wedding, for you none-telepathic folk. I seriously need to get around to sorting it all but it's SUCH a huge job that i'm just pretending we don't have a spare room for the time being! We can't finish decorating until The Pile is gone either eek.

It's my birthday tomorrow... holy cow. How fast has this year gone?!
