The One That Got Away
Meet Prada's Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger. This LE fragrance was released last summer, around the time that my son was born. I sniffed and spritzed this sooooo many times, I truly loved it, but I just never got round to picking up a bottle. Why, oh why, oh why, I'll...
Dita Does Coachella
This post by Magpie Sparkles about this years Coachella festival in California reminded me how much I love poring over images of Dita's wardrobe from this particular event. She tends to dress a lot more creatively and casually than she usually does but still manages...
Products I’m Using Right Now
The April edition! (You can find the post from January here.) I've switched a few things around in my routine recently, mainly due to the onset of warmer weather but also because I've been delving into my stash and rediscovering some wonderful products. I do love...
Super Lustrous Liberty of London
I love MAC.And I love Revlon.So, can you imagine my joy when I realised that my recently acquired (and current favourite) lip glosses from Revlon are a match made in heaven for the 2 lipsticks I picked up from MAC's Liberty of London collection?In the end I only...
My New Favourite Accessory
My Son! Please excuse how rough I look in the 2nd picture. It was taken the morning after a heavy night out with Mr. LA's family. His mother is far too good at re-filing my wine glass! As one should never drink and drive (a buggy), this mode of transport was ideal!...
My Whereabouts
The 2nd week of the Easter holidays really manged to get in the way of blogging! It's very unlike me not to post for a whole week... I hope you can forgive me!The weather has been amazing in Devon and we've had numerous trips to the beach and to the park. Izzy has...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Loving the sunshine. Rediscovering clothes. My Spring/Summer wardrobe didn't get an airing last year as I was obviously wearing maternity clothes (yawn). It's fun to wear things and have people think they're new! Being lazy with my make-up. MAC Phloof and mascara was...
It Just Wasn’t Meant To Be.
My relationship with Shu Uemura cleansing oil that is.Don't you just hate it when a cult product that's considered HG by so many other women just doesn't live up to your expectations? You feel cheated somehow. There was so much hype surrounding the Shu Uemura...
Friday Night Glamour
We're currently enjoying a run of gorgeous spring weather here in the U.K. Devon is simply heaven in the sunshine. I love it. Yesterday I took the 30 min train journey to the coast with the children. We wandered along the beachfront and had tea and cake in the sun. It...
Good Enough For The Peasants
Yesterday evening I watched a truly, truly bad film. A friend lent me 'The Heartbreak Kid' with the assurance that it was the kind of movie you could watch without having to think to much. That's for sure. It did make me laugh a little, I s'pose. Although it seemed as...
Pure Indulgence
It may have become abundantly clear to many of you by now that I'm rather fond of expensive skincare. It's not that I totally discount budget ranges. In fact there are a few drugstore products that regularly feature in my routine. It's just that there is something...
Further Proof…
... that I desperately need some orange toned lip products in my life. I'm practically drooling over these images!I think I have the softer peachy tones covered in my make-up collection but I'm lacking when it comes to the more vibrant, juicier shades. I do own one...
3
I stole this from the fabulous Laura. The perfect way to finish a very lazy bank holiday if you ask me! Three names I go by: 1. Frances - my real name. Only used by my mum and really old school friends. 2. Franky - the name I go by. 3. Fran - the name guaranteed to...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Making a last minute dash to the shops for Easter gifts!Relaxing at my mum's house. I love spending time at her house. She makes me a cup of tea as soon as i come down in the morning and showers the children with love and attention.Eating hot cross buns smothered in...
Easter Parade
I know this is a little early but as I'm working tomorrow morning and then retreating to my parent's house in Dorset for the weekend I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I hope the bank holiday weekend brings you lots of rest,...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
I was kind of dreading March, mainly because I had to go back to work. In fact, easing myself back into employment hasn't been as horrific as I thought it would be and I've actually rather enjoyed having a proper reason to get dressed and make myself up in the...
The things I’m dreaming about right now… No. 7
I've been feeling pretty grotty all day... soar throat, achy, headache. I've no doubt picked up one of the dreaded bugs doing the rounds currently. It's so annoying. I just don't have time to be ill.The best way I could think of to distract myself from the fact that...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Thinking about how lucky I am to have a man like Mr. LA in my life after he let me have a lie in on Saturday morning.Eating fried eggs on toast.Taking the children to the public library, sitting on the 'Cat in the Hat' mat and reading them stories.Taking the...
Friday Night Glamour
Fred & Ginger always make me smile.I definitely need cheering up this evening. I'm so tired I could cry. We had a very early start this morning and then I had to work this afternoon too. I'm not sure my body has quite adjusted to being back on the shop floor! Standing...
Rain, rain, go away…
I am so sick of the weather. I have been rained on almost everyday this week. It is near on impossible to push a buggy and carry an umbrella at the same time and I refuse to wear a 'Mum coat' (i.e something practical) on the school run. The dampness is somewhat self...
