Hey guys, it's been another busy week for me and I didn't feel the benefit of having a long weekend at all! I did get to go to my favourite place on Wednesday- Hay-on-Wye. I spend all my day working with books and then spend my days off in bookshops! Hay on Wye is a tiny town on the Welsh/English border and has...

One or two of you lovely ladies asked if the article I wrote for Fat Quarter would be available online so I thought I would put my original copy on here (the final article was edited slightly)- 'Cardiff is a small city with a population of just 328,000 but there is plenty to do here. With over 20,000 university students living in Cardiff it...

This is another dress that has been lurking in my wardrobe and hasn't been worn for years. It was far too small for me but it fits perfectly now. I used to wear it to gigs quite a lot and it reminds me of early 90s grunge hence the post title. I wore it to work yesterday with flats and then popped some heels...

Hello! sorry about the lack of outfit posts recently, my brother is the photographer and he is refusing to get up in the morning to take photos, how rude! So I've done a self timer effort on the fireplace, very professional non? I wore this outfit to work yesterday because I'm doing a lot of shelving at the moment and sorting trolleys so...

As I've mentioned previously, I'm moving to a new house soon so I had a big clear out and I've started to pack up some of my old clothes. I found lots of lovely things that don't fit me any more and I thought I would sell them to raise funds to buy lots of cushions for my new bedroom :) Here are a...

I’ve always been a big fan of charity shops, they are great places to pick up a vintage bargain at a budget price but I was a little skeptical when I was invited to take a look around the new Cancer Research Wales Bridal Boutique. Wedding dresses in a charity shop? Surely they would all be dated, who would want to wear a...

I would love to know how you are all getting along with the pen pal scheme, you can send in any stories or photos of your letters and I will pop them in a post. I hope to re open the sheme in the summer for anyone who missed out last time or if you would just like another pen pal.xx ...

I was supposed to go out after work last night but I live in a silly town that only has buses and trains to Cardiff once an hour and they stop at half 10 at night so I ended up staying in to watch Eurovision which I didn't mind too much because I watch it every year.  Much less hassle. Here's what I wore to...

Hiya guys! sorry about the lack of posts this week, I've been in Llandrindod Wells for my first ever library conference. I was having a bit of a panic about what to wear but I decided on something comfy and that wouldn't crease on the 2 hour journey to mid Wales. What do you think? I'm not a very smart person and I...

1. I wore this on Monday to work and then I met up with some friends after work for some shopping. I got the top with my 40% Peacocks discount, I usually go mad when the 40% off offer comes around every few months but I already had all the dresses I liked from there!  2. My ballet outfit, I didn't get too...

Would anyone be interested in a Cardiff blogger meet up? There are always lots of events in London but I've not come across one in Cardiff before. I'm hoping to plan one for early October and I wanted to know what people wanted to happen on the day and how many people would come. I was thinking that we could meet for lunch...

There is a great 3 for 2 offer on make up in Boots at the moment which I couldn't resist so I popped in on my way home after work on Saturday and got myself some nail polish. I loved the Models Own champagne colour I won in a giveaway before so much that I decided to get three Models Own polishes rather than mixing the...

Despite having a week off work in April I feel like it's been a very busy month. I've had a few lovely nights out for friends birthdays (see drunk picture above, don't know who that guy is!) and it was very busy in work because all students were paying fines and taking books out before they went away for the Easter hols. I'm going...
