Hair Heroes
For some unknown reason, after my last trip to the salon my hair was a disaster. It was dry, dull and totally lifeless All of my natural shine vanished and life became one big bad hair day. I'm not sure if they left the tint on too long or if my hair simply had enough...
The Dress… sorry you missed it!
The fabric is so beautiful in real life, the beading so delicate. I spied it in John Lewis, it was shimmering under the shop lights. It's by Phase Eight, a store very similar to Monsoon but, having tried on dresses in both stores, I'd argue that Phase Eight are far...
Things I’m Loving Right Now…
I've been really slack at doing my monthly favourites of late, and it's not because there hasn't been anything floating my boat. It's just that the months are flying by and despite mentally filing things away under the 'I really must blog about this' heading, I just...

Wedding Inspiration No.3 – Veils
I have to admit a veil didn't feature in my wedding daydreams. I never pictured myself wearing one. They just seemed a little too.... well, 'bridal' I guess. But then I bought my dress, and now somehow a veil just seems so right. I might never have tried one on if it...

Studying
I've made it half way through my first week back at Uni. We managed to resolve most of the financial issues that were stacked against us, although I'm still wrestling a few demons (and shedding a few tears) over having to take a loan from the bank of Mum and (step)...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Trying to remain positive. Feeling grateful for my incredibly supportive friends and family. Making M&M pancakes much to Izzy's delight. Falling in love with my fiancee just a teensy bit more. He really is the most amazing man. Eating an indoor picnic. Taking the...
Money makes the world go round…
... and we're never more aware of this fact than when we simply don't have enough of the stuff.All the positivity, optimism and excitement about my impending return to University has been quashed again. We had our funding application refused by the uni and without...
Friday Night Glamour
I realised that I hadn't featured Dita in a Friday night post for a while. Here she is looking stunning. Whenever I see pictures of her I feel a desperate need to discover all her beauty secrets, her skin always looks so flawless and lit from within. I think her...

A little while ago I was tagged in an award post by one of my favourite bloggers Casee Marie over at The Girl Who Stole The Eiffel Tower. I can only apologise for the fact that I am totally and completely awful at responding to these sorts of posts. For some unknown...
The Perfect Red Lip (for a student)
So, the good news is that towards the end of last week the university finally let me know that they had accepted my new application. Phew! I really didn't have a 'Plan B' so I was very, very relieved! I'm a little terrified at the thought of studying English for the...
The Venue
I'm caught in a little bubble of excitement this evening. You see, earlier today I not only confirmed the venue for the wedding but I also booked our civil ceremony. So it's now a pretty sure thing that at 1pm on Saturday 14th January 2012 I will become MRS...

My Skincare Routine Part 2 – That Little Something Extra
In Part 1 of this post (which you can find over here) I covered the principles and products I use on a daily basis. What I didn't mention was that over the course of a normal week I do allow my skin a few little extra treats to keep it in tip top condition. I'm a...
