Absence
Audrey. Any excuse.Last week I took a self-imposed break from the world of Loveaudrey. I had some personal things going on, the details of which I won't bore you with, that left me far too distracted to blog anything of worth, and I hate posting a substandard offering...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
I've had such a wonderful weekend and I'm in the mood to ramble a little so I thought I'd offer up a few more words than I usually manage on a Sunday evening. I am slightly delirious with tiredness so bare with me...I spent the whole of Friday in the post-grad common...
Wedding Inspiration No. 9 – Invitations
If I've ever needed a dose of wedding-related loveliness, it's today. I'm up to my neck in research for a paper about sexual violence in 1970s cinema. Clearly, there really is a limit to how many rape scenes a girl can stomach in one day. Last weekend my friend Suzy...
Dinner with Loveaudrey: Indian-Style Roasted Salmon
Can you say 'overcooked'?Fish is definitely my kitchen nemesis. No matter what I do I cannot achieve the perfectly cooked salmon of my culinary dreams, I always overcook it, without fail.Nonetheless, this is still a delicious, healthy meal, very easy to prepare and a...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Studying. I honestly feel like that's all I did. Between working on a presentation and cobbling together a dissertation proposal, Uni work really consumed me this weekend. Dislike.Cursing the fact we had run out of tea bags. Loving Mr. LA for running to the shop at...
Things I’m Loving Right Now
Clearly, I fail miserably at posting my monthly favourites. However, I'm very good at writing about the things I'm loving on a whim, whenever the mood takes me and in a fairly random manner...I switched up my skincare routine recently, indulging in some beautiful ESPA...
The Birds and the Bees
The Birds and The Bees Despite the fact I own my own home, I am a mother to two children and I'm actually getting married next year, I have to admit, I rarely feel like a proper grown-up. Nope, not mature in the slightest. I'm definitely still waiting for the day that...
I’m in hell…
... dissertation hell, that is.Excuse the lack of posts this week. I have to hand my proposal in next Tuesday so life has been taken over by reading, watching war films and trying to translate all the abstract thoughts floating round my head into something resembling...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Wishing the children would sleep just a teeny bit later on a Saturday morning. Enjoying fried eggs on buttery toast and a gallon of tea. Loving Lush Vanilla Deelite body lotion. The sweet, edible scent lingers on my skin all day and compliments my YSL Parisienne...
The Power of Pyjamas
Christmas was something of a turning point for me in terms of my choice of nocturnal attire. It all started when 2 close friends were kind enough to give me some truly beautiful nightwear as gifts. First, I received a set of monochrome satin pyjamas from La Senza. The...
Loveaudrey Bakes: Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Only good things can come from this... I may have mentioned my slight obsession with the orgasmic combination that is chocolate and peanut butter once or twice before. Yup. I said orgasmic. Don't believe me? Bake my Snickers and Peanut Butter Muffins and you'll soon...
A Jacket for Spring
I made a bold attempt to ditch my winter coat at the beginning of this week. It felt liberating, if a little chilly, swanning around between seminars (yes, I swan, don't you?) in my trusty denim jacket from Zara, an excellent purchase made towards the end of last...
Dinner with Loveaudrey: 2 Ways With Lettuce
Call me crazy, but I LOVE cooked lettuce.I like greens generally (cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli... even brussel sprouts) but cooked lettuce has a freshness and flavour that is just delicious, and perfect for spring.Here are two recipes that feature the cutest...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Loving Mr. LA for letting me lie in 2 days in a row. What a guy!Missing Izzy.Doing boring but essential household chores. Cleaning the kitchen bin is never a pleasant experience.Sipping on Starbucks hot chocolate and munching a cinnamon swirl. Mmmmmm.Wishing the...
Chambray & Shades of Grey
Indulged in a little retail therapy this weekend. A pale denim shirt and a tan waist belt from Warehouse and a stack of basics from H&M in varying shades of grey. I've been inspired by Wearing It Today to give my stash of tees, knits and vests a bit of an overhaul. If...
Dinner with Loveaudrey: Greek-ish Butter Beans
Because beans don't have to mean Heinz. This is a simple recipe that produces a delicious pot of wholesome, healthy beans, which for me represents the ultimate comfort food (OK... maybe not the ultimate ultimate, I mean, its not Ben & Jerry's is it now).For an extra...
Another Suitcase in Another Hall
A beautiful old and somewhat battered vintage suitcase has been on my wedding shopping list for a while, ever since I stumbled across images like these.... So imagine my joy when I spied this specimen in the shop window of a local vintage clothing store... I paid £12...
Second Thoughts?
Even Audrey looks worried... No! I'm not talking about the wedding! When it comes to marrying Mr. LA, I've never been more sure of anything. I'm talking about my dress. I tried it on at the weekend. It was the first time it had been out of the garment bag since we...
Up/Down
Going Up...Bar a few corrections and a bit of printing, both my essays are done and ready to be handed in. I cannot actually put into words how stressed I've felt this week, it's been horrible, so I'm really glad to have them out of the way.Sipping Green Monsters and...
Little Green Monsters
The blogosphere has been abuzz with talk of these magical smoothies recently. Lily Loves Lola swears by them and Lollipop loves them too. I adore smoothies, I really do. When they're done right it feels like you're drinking up a big glass of creamy goodness. They give...
