Up/Down
Going Up...2 weeks until we go on holiday! I just know we're going to have the most amazing time in Bali (and no doubt I'll bore you all with every detail when we get home). I am so excited, if a little nervous about the 16hr flight with 2 small children.The weather....
White Collars
Dreaming of crisp white shirts this morning. And Gregory Peck... Mmmmmm!I especially love Audrey's costumes in Roman Holiday, the full skirt, nipped in waist and perfect white blouse with capped sleeves. I've got my eye on a few shirts in Zara but I'm watching the...
Glorious Mud
Let me begin by making it very clear that I really do not love this product at all.The mess... ohhhh the mess. Brown sludge and sand all over my shower. Up the walls, all over the shower tray, round the plug hole. Even Mr. LA raised an eye brow, and his brain is...
Little Miss Loveaudrey Bakes: Chocolate Malteser Cake
Baking 2 chocolate cakes in as many days is probably a little excessive. I wasn't even in the mood to bake at all on Sunday (having got my fix on Friday) but clearly it has become such a weekly ritual that Izzy just can't comprehend the prospect of a weekend without...
FOTD: Chanel Genial
I adore this lipstick. It's bright (in fact, much brighter than these pictures would have you believe) but it's not too in your face. It's oh so summery and I swear it manages to be both pink and coral at the same time. I really need to pick up a matching lip liner...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Having a bit of a cry.Actually managing to get some chores done.Thinking that Lush's Glorious Mud body mask is a whole lot of mess. Shan't bother again.Feeling too lazy to put any make-up on.Loving my new denim jacket. Rolling the sleeves up and wearing it with...
Babywearing & Bearwearing
We decided to go for a stroll in the sunshine this afternoon while we waited for (another) chocolate cake to cool. I put Jesse on my back and Izzy wanted to join in. Which brings me to what is possibly my favourite photograph of my children ever...Loveaudrey...
Hey Dad
Hey Dad, do you remember the time you hid in a green wheelie bin? For, like, 2 hours or something? It was that holiday in France. The first with the new girlfriend. The first since you and mum split up. I imagine it was horrendous. I imagine I was angry and rude and...
Friday Night Glamour
Well this is a first. I've never featured a man in our weekly dose of glamour before. Why should the girls get all the credit hey? I have a terrible crush on Cary Grant actually and I'd venture that there's something deeply glamorous about a smouldering man in a tux....
Loveaudrey Bakes: Chocolate Guinness Cake (for Father’s Day)
Now, I know this bake may seem a little premature as it's technically not Father's Day until Sunday, but Mr. LA will be working on Father's Day 'proper' so I decided to gift him this cake today instead. Besides, I was in the mood to tinker in the kitchen this morning...
Water Baby
When you have small children some days can feel like a constant uphill struggle.Baby is grumpy from the moment he wakes up, older sibling seems incapable of doing anything the first time she is asked and every single detail of your morning routine is turned into a...
Virgin Dita
What I wouldn't give to walk anywhere, let alone on the wings of an aeroplane, in those red Louboutins! Doesn't Dita look stunning in these photos? You can see more and read the accompanying article here.Loveaudrey...
My name is Loveaudrey and I’m a dress-a-holic…
Honestly, if I'm not buying myself a dress I'm convincing myself that Izzy needs another frock (or 2... or 3)!! The latest additions to my wardrobe, perfect for the fabulous sunny weather we're currently enjoying down here in Devon. The first I've had my eye on for...
FOTD: Aquadisiac + Stars & Rockets
Please excuse the fact that half my hair is in my face, baby Jesse was my stylist this morning!I kind of hated my face today. Do you ever have days like that? I looked tired, my skin could have looked a lot better and by the time I realised I didn't like my choice of...
Loveaudrey Bakes: Egg-Free Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies
The cupcakes may have looked impressive but these little beauties were the real success of Jesse's party tea. The recipe comes from an American book called Bakin' Without Eggs and I'd thoroughly recommend picking up a copy if you have an allergy like Jesse. It's not...
Lily Lolo
Often, in our haste to write about the new and exciting or perhaps the 'cult' beauty products, I reckon we bloggers have a tendency to overlook some of the truly wonderful products that repeatedly feature in our daily make-up routine.In my case, Lily Lolo mineral...
Grace
I am so desperate to visit the Grace Kelly exhibition that's currently running at the V&A museum in London. I'm homesick at the best of times but this evening I'm feeling positively jealous of any London gals who can just hop on the tube and wander round my favourite...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up early.Baking cheese stars and mini banana muffins.Madly tidying the house.Wrapping presents.Icing cupcakes.Running out of icing half way through and having to dash to Spar for extra butter and icing sugar.Icing more cupcakes.Eating Thai food.Laughing at how...
Happy Birthday Jesse!
1 year old today!(Kind of weird to think I was in labour this time last year. Mr. LA had just cooked me an omelet and all of a sudden my lower back ache turned into a full blown contraction!)Loveaudrey...
Friday Night Glamour
Dita in vintage Dior = perfection. If only I could get away with wearing a pair of long leather gloves down to Sainsburys.Now, in response to the ladies who described me as a domestic goddess after reading a recent post, let me clarify a couple of things....First, it...
