Christmas Wish List

Christmas has to be my favourite time of the year like many. I absolutely love the build up, buying gifts for loved ones, getting in the festive spirit & not feeling guilty eating all those Christmas treats.

There's also something about Christmas that makes me want to buy lots of winter themed outfits perfect for celebrating as well as some home ware items I wouldn't usually splash out on. Let's hope I'm lucky enough to get some of these gifts from my Christmas wish list.

Hand & Flowers | Food

Eating out is a great hobby of my husband & I. We love exploring new places, new foods & spending our time eating out but this can sometimes come with a hefty price tag.
We have been waiting to be able to visit Tom Kerridge's 'The Hand & Flowers' for a while now & so I was pleasantly surprised to find that a part of my birthday present this year was for us to take that trip.
We were booked in on a Sunday which only meant one thing. A Sunday roast. Actually, the BEST Sunday roast.
Having scoured the menu as soon as I'd been seated, I decided to have the salt baked swede & haggis tart with crispy lamb & "chantilly de chèvre"

October Favourites

October favourites time! I feel like by the time I've done the last favourites post it's time to do the next.
Champneys Cloud 9 Body Butter

Oh I do love the scent of this body butter. It feels great on your skin & has a real mousse like look & texture. It's definitely perfect for a pamper night during the winter months.

The Big Day | Bridal

Our wedding day was the best day of my life & won't ever be forgotten. It was so great to be able to share something so special with all of those closest to us & also have everyone together. It's so hard to get family & friends together especially if you have a big family but a wedding means no excuses & I was so happy that everyone could come.

The Big Day | The Details

The day has come & we finally have our beautiful wedding pictures! The only problem is trying to choose between them all as there are so many & it's great to be able to see all of the little details that helped to pull the day together.

The Wedding Dress | The Making Of

This post has been a long time coming & I am so excited to share it with you! By now you may or may not have already seen the finished dress on various social media sites but I really wanted to share the transformation & journey with you.
Apologies for the rubbish quality of pictures, these are however the best of a bad bunch!
So last August, I spent many a time in bridal shops trying on various dresses. I knew I was going to have it made but needed to find a style I liked & suited. I must have tried about 50 dresses on in total as at first I was trying to find parts that I loved rather than a dress itself. A little while later I found a dress I loved & headed over to the dress shop.

The Treat Kitchen | Review

This week, I was lucky enough to receive a delicious looking parcel in the form of sweets. Now, if there's one thing I like to review, it's definitely food. All kinds. So this was right up my street!

The Countdown

So it's officially the countdown to the wedding... We've got five weeks to go & I know it's going to fly by. Who'd have thought that when we got engaged almost 19 months ago that we'd finally get to this point. It felt like a lifetime away & that it would never come around.

These last few weeks have flown by. Work is busy, we're renovating a house & the wedding is always there in the background & I wanted to write a post now before all the craziness starts as I know I won't have chance to soon.

Home Living | Lifestyle

You may have seen on Twitter or Instagram that Stephen & I have recently bought our first home together. It's been such an exciting but also exhausting experience which has been made slightly sweeter with all the furniture shopping.

Travel | London Town Part 2

If you've seen my Instagram & Twitter feeds you'll know that I'm a self obsessed foodie. My favourite hobby is going out to eat & I love to try new foods, so when we headed off to Borough market on my most recent trip to London, I was more than happy!
