Ladies Night

By Gem - 12:13:00
On Thursday night I attended the fabulous Ladies Night at St David's 2 where lots of lovely bloggers were invited to meet in Pizza Express before the event started. It was lovely to catch up with some familiar faces who I had met at the South Wales Blogger Meet Up. Megan and the Grayling PR team really looked after us and we tucked...

Primadonna girl, All I ever wanted was the world

By Gem - 17:38:00
It's been another week of going out and shopping for me, some things never change! I feel like I've wasted the sunny days by being inside shopping or listing things on eBay but I managed to enjoy a few cocktails out on Mill Lane in Cardiff this weekend and get out and about meeting a few friends for coffee. It has been manic...

Awear blue dress

By Gem - 14:00:00
Before making any purchases at the moment I am considering how I would wear an item, how much use would I get from it and will it last me more than a few weeks with my current weigh changes. I'm always on the lookout for something versatile and something that can be nipped in at the waist with a belt. This lovely Awear...

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

By Gem - 18:13:00
I've had this dress for a while now but have never got round to wearing it. I wore it today to run errands on my day off and I love it. The print reminds me of the song Wild Horses, I used to listen to The Sundays cover of that song on the Buffy soundtrack when I was in school aaaall the time. ...

Let's take our precious time about it

By Gem - 13:14:00
Just a bit of a weekly round up today... I've mostly been cooking lots of things from the Members' Favourites cookbook that the lovely people at Weight Watchers sent me. My favourite recipe was the butternut squash brushed in chilli and rosemary topped with quorn mince, peppers and feta mmm! I got some lovely things in the post like a postcard from Alice...

Style Inspiration - Marina Diamandis

By Gem - 12:35:00
I'm not a fan of most people who are held up as style icons, I find them rather dull. Alexa Chug, zzzz.I'm much more influenced by women in music like Robyn, the lovely ladies from Those Dancing Days and Paloma Faith. Marina Diamandis (along with Daisy Lowe) has definitely been my stand out style inspiration for the past few years. 1 2 3...

#ldnlunch and the worst Nicky Wire impersonator you have ever seen...

By Gem - 16:13:00
Better late than never... I never take any photos when I go to blogger meetups and ldnlunch was no exception. I was far too busy chatting and drinking cocktails to take photos so I waited for these ones to surface. It was lovely to just meet up with people I speak to on a daily basis on twitter and have some lunch. No...

Gok Wan event and Florence and the Machine

By Gem - 13:33:00
I had a rather lovely day on Monday. I got the chance to check out Gok Wan's collection for Specsavers and ask him a few questions about the range and hang out with some of my favourite Cardiff bloggers. Great way to spend the morning on my day off! His range is very 50s inspired and comes just in time for the new...

Week so far...

By Gem - 22:29:00
After yet another manic weekend (turning into a bit of a party animal) I've had a rather busy week. Work has been busy and I've made an effort to be sociable on my days off. I would love to rest this weekend but I'm going to #ldnlunch and then a 90s fancy dress party. I'm going to do my best Richey/Nicky early 90s...
