OOTD ~ My Bride-To-Be Party
Like any self-respecting glamour puss, I had a whole series of outfits for my weekend of decadence and debauchery in the big smoke. OK. I had two. For day, I opted for an old faithful from H&M that makes me feel fabulous. I paired my full-skirted floral dress with...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up in my Mum's flat in west London. My friend Kate and I had travelled up by train on Friday evening for my bride-to-be party weekend {a hen do by any other name}, sipping bubbly and eating Sainsbury's Taste the Difference crisps all the way. Drinking tea and...

My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up full of anticipation and excitement. Packing my overnight bag. It predominantly contained shoes. I found myself temporarily unable to comit to a single pair. So I took three. Eating one of Mr. LA's delicious omelettes for breakfast. Walking to the station in...
Our Wedding Invitations #1 ~ A Promise
I, Loveaudrey, hereby swear never to take a wedding invitation for granted ever again. Should one arrive on our doormat, I will skip with glee to retrieve it. I will stroke the fine envelope and admire the penmanship employed to scribe our address. I'll savour every...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Missing Mr. LA. Again. He was working away in London from Friday to Saturday evening and both myself and the children missed him terribly. Feeling very, very sleepy. Jesse suffered another attack of night terrors on Friday night. I'll be SO glad when he's grown out of...
Love Audrey Adores ~ Date For Your Diary
I fed my stationery addiction this week. I purchased a new diary. I fully embraced the desire for newness that September brings {a throwback to school days and the customary addition of a shiny new pencil case, lunchbox and book bag}, indulging in a small, soft...
A Walk in the Park
What would you do if the man in your life was, at times, defiant and agressive? If he was capable of screaming and shouting at you, sometimes even slapping and kicking? What would you do if he pulled your hair and screamed 'NO' every time you asked him politely to do...

Missing Mr. LA. Loads. He was away filming all weekend at the Budleigh Literary Festival. In the process of wielding his camera he was able to meet some pretty famous authors and listen to a reading by the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. He came home with a signed...
It’s the little things…
When you're planning a wedding, crossing the big things {venue, dress, photographer etc} off your 'To Do' list feels great. But it's the little things that get me really excited. Especially the little things that require online shopping and the subsequent receipt of...
Sneak Peek {of the paper variety}
Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things. This bundle of wedding invitations arrived from the US weeks ago and it has taken every ounce of willpower in my possession to resist ripping off the packaging and immersing myself in...
Night Night, Sleep Tight ~ Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins: A Review
The idea of religiously applying a night cream each evening before I go to bed has long appealed to me. In the vintage dream world of my imagination, I would sit at an opulent vanity table and scoop something rich and unctuous from a weighty glass pot with an ornate...
Hidden Gems
My wardrobe is in desperate need of an overhaul after months of not having time/money to shop. I feel as if I've been wearing the same old outfits in rotation forever, and I really need to get myself out of my skinny jeans/grey top/black ballet pumps rut. However, as...
The Scent Series #6 ~ Ormonde Jayne Frangipani: A Review
Confession time. In the last few weeks of writing my dissertation, I may have, ahem... *whispers* 'let myself go'. Just a little. OK. Maybe quite a lot. My uniform consisted of pyjamas and my hair was generally unwashed {ick}. I went days without makeup and all my...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up with a teeny tiny hangover. I finished my MA on Friday and finishing an MA calls for lots of wine, Chinese take away and a late night lying in bed with Mr. LA chatting about the future, no? Snuggling in bed with the children. Everything felt different this...
Things I have learnt while studying for an MA in English…
... ya know, aside from all the, er, English 1. When I decide I'm going to do something, I bloody well do it. 2. Postgraduate study is intense and unrelenting. If it doesn't hurt, you're probably not doing it right. 3. Despite all the hard work, student life is pretty...
The End

Almost There
Audrey. Just Because. I wanted to write a quick post explaining why there will probably be a complete lack of posts from me over the next few weeks. It was supposed to be something along the lines of 'I'm finishing up my dissertation, it consumes me and leaves me...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Missing the children. The bath time snapshot was taken on Friday evening as they passed through on their way to the other set of Grandparents. They'll not be back until late on Thursday. Can. Not. Wait.Studying. A lot. I passed 15,000 words on my dissertation this...
