Friday Night Glamour
Oh ladies, I've had such a thrilling afternoon! I tried on my very first wedding dress! It was so much fun twirling around in front of the mirror, playing dress-up. Izzy relished the experience, although I can tell she's baffled as to why I don't want to buy the...
Babyccino
While I'm well aware that to many Starbucks stands as a hideous example of two very modern plagues, globalisation and capitalism, I'm afraid I'm rather partial to their signature hot chocolate (but rest assured, as a family we actually do a lot to support local,...
Loveaudrey Bakes: Chocolate Banana Loaf
I have to admit, I find using my old loaf tin deeply comforting and restorative. I think it's the simplicity of this sort of bake that I love, it feels very traditional, like something a housewife from the 1950s would have wheeled out at tea time. The fact a nice...
Up/Down
Going Up... It's my birthday next Tuesday! Can't wait to celebrate with Mr. LA and the children... Mmmm birthday cake! A week in Cornwall with the family. We're renting a huge cottage and I'm really looking forward to big family meals and lots of beach time with the...
Vintage Weddings
During my stay at my Mother's house this weekend I spent a considerable amount of time pouring over old family wedding photos. My Mum has become something of a family archivist, tracing our family tree and looking after many precious family heirlooms. She has a sort...
FOTD: MAC Chatterbox
Not only does this post showcase my current lipstick obsession, it also reveals the final 2 purchases I made in Duty Free. MAC's Well Dressed Blush and Hang Loose Mineralize Blush (LE) have become my new favourite cheek combo. They provide the perfect flush and just...
Wash Day
Every day is wash day in our house. In fact I've done 2 loads already today!I suppose it's no surprise then that Jesse is already an expert at pegging out the wet washing. Here he is helping me hang his very own nappies out to dry.... I love these pictures,...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Missing Mr. LA. He was shooting at Boardmasters in Cornwall for 4 days. Visiting a couple of potential wedding venues with my Mum. I'm so excited about it all that I may well burst before the actual wedding comes around! Drinking too much red wine. Wishing the...

Loveaudrey Bakes: Blackberry Galette
Once I had recovered from the jet lag after our trip to Bali I was itching to get back into the kitchen and bake something! It really is my favourite way to relax.My baking preferences change regularly. I'll have a few weeks where all I want to bake is chocolate cake...
Things I’ve been loving this month… July
Phew... July flew by in a blur, not least, I'm sure , because we spent 2 weeks of it lounging on a tropical beach in Bali. It was certainly a month filled with some fabulous memories... Jesse mastering the art of walking and Mr. LA slipping that precious ring on my...

Wedding Tears Already?
No.... I wasn't crying because I've been engaged for almost 2 weeks and I haven't tried on a single wedding dress yet. It's just that every now and then it hits me that I'm doing all of this without my Dad. I see pictures on wedding blogs of brides walking down the...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
(Still) trying to catch up on all the post-holiday washing. Taking my engagement ring to the jewellers to be re-sized and discovering that it's worth substantially more than the £80 my father paid for it in 1978. Looking at wedding bands and getting a warm fuzzy...
Fashion Crush: Erdem Fall 2010 RTW

Bali In Pictures
I'm conscious of the fact that I really don't want to bore everyone with all my holiday photos (I took hundreds) so here some of my favourites from the few that I've managed to upload to my computer so far.I think they give you a good feel of what Bali was like.......
Friday Night Glamour
I love the look of pure joy on Marilyn's face in this image. She's just married the baseball player Joe Dimaggio in a judge's chambers at San Fransisco City Hall and she certainly looks pleased with herself! When we were thinking about setting the date for our own...
