L O V E

Love is in the air.
All you need is love.
What is love? 



Valentine's day is fast approaching, every month we have some sort of celebration a few weeks back it was Chinese New Year, yes we all got a Chinese to celebrate, soon it will be pancake day, I've already booked it off work, even though we can eat pancakes any day, we love to join in and get involved and Valentine's is no different.  For those single people just remember you are single every other day too, and one day someone is going to hug you so tight, that all of your broken pieces stick back together and that right there, that moment is true love.

I like to wear red on Valentine's, there is a banging red suit I'm coverting in Topshop sale right now, £45 for the jacket and trousers and the fit is amaze.



But I think I will stick with one of my favourite purchases from 2013, the love heart print blouse I got from Topshop. Now if you have seen me between November and now I will no doubt have had this blouse on I am totally smitten by it and feel that once washed and ironed this will be on my back Friday 


Love heart jewellery is all over the high street right now, you can pick up rings, necklaces the lot, but I love this old mikey beast, remember mikey jewellery it was so good, I bought this years ago because I thought the old lady had dropped it into the ocean at the end. Obviously a red lip is needed on Valentine's -Mac ladydanger is my favourite red.

Obsessing with heart shapes? Why not make yourself and loved one a heart shaped pizza, I bought a packet base and just added water rolled out cut into a heart and topped with goats cheese and caramelised onions and it tasted amazing, it was so easy and quick to make too.

Stuck for gift ideas? I could always whip you up a plate with a love quote on, you can make the breakfast on it though.


Peace, love and lots of it

Long overdue...


Apologies for the lack of blogging, I've had a lot on, we are in our new house now, we spent Christmas here and it was lovely, the main rooms are pretty much finished we still have decor and bits to do but it will all come in time, I can't wait til the day we get a dining room table, I've managed to master the art of tv dining pretty well though.

So as well as Christmas happening since I last blogged, where I was truely spoilt by my soulmate, I got some gorgeous things and had an amazing day, the hardest part was been not being able to see my Mom this year, which I was gutted about but we will spend Christmas together again one day. We have also had the sales, and this year Topshop was on top form with bargain after bargain, mark down after markdown and new lines added so much I found it really hard to resist! 


I received this gorgeous gold french ornate jewellery box for Christmas, one of my favourite gifts ever


The Christmas dinner feast, or main event as I like to call it.


This to die for Tiffany infinity ring which has led me to wearing lots of silver jewellery right now.


This is probably my most favourite photo ever, 2013 was most definitely the happiest year of my life.  2014 will be even better, I witness 2 of my best friends get married, I am going to Glastonbury, I get to spend so many more happy times in our new home and fingers crossed me and Ben will get a holiday, hoping to pass my driving test too as well as wearing more tailoring! 

I mentioned the sales were on top form, here are some of my bargains


The white tassel dress, I can't wait for summer to rock this with a tan, feather earrings and copious rings. 


I got this awesome Karl sweatshirt from net-a-porter I will sit inside wearing it reading my Karl Lagerfeld book one day soon! 



These Topshop blue suede boots are irresistible in real life, the blue is electric and adds a colour pop to any outfit, obviously one of my favourites despite how flat they are -please note these boots do have a 1 inch block heel but due to being a women in heels anything below 2 inches I consider a flat.

Peace, love and happy bargain hunting
