After a manic weekend of fashion shows and fancy dress I'm looking forward to a relatively quiet week in work and a weekend in. I think I just need a good lie in. It has been ridiculously cold the past few days so I thought I would dig my warm winter coat out. Wore this to work today and it isn't even cold,...

Me and my friends had our Halloween party a few days early because we can't party on a school night anymore. I'm way too old to rock up to work with a killer hangover now, takes me days to recover. We went with a Dead Celeb/Bad Taste theme and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the effort everyone put in. We...

The first official Cardiff Fashion Week has been a great success so far and the Fashion Show at St David's this weekend has been a great way to finish the festivities. The live catwalk shows have showcased all that’s new, special and sought after in Cardiff. I've been here at St David's all day as a bit of a backstage blogger taking in...

Hasn't time flown by this year?! It seems like summer just ended and I've only just got back from Bestival but we are only a few days away from Halloween and weeks away from Christmas. Halloween in my house is a pretty big deal and we are already decked out in black, purple and orange decorations and burning our Yankee candy corn candles....

The people at Jileon wellies contacted me way back in Spring to see if I would give them some advice about what colours and patterns to develop some wide fit wellies in. I thought traditional/country colours like navy would be best and maybe some polka dots. Floral wellies are always tricky because they will clash with other patterns you wear. Once they had...

As promised, here are some of my favourite photos of my beloved Sookie. I wanted a dog pretty much all of my life but my mum was never keen on the idea but she finally surprised my brother and I on Christmas day nearly three years ago with the best little Labrador anyone could wish for. Sookie is totally spoilt and gets more...

This outfit has been my uniform recently. I seem to throw on my biker jacket everyday and  now that winter is here I've been getting loads of wear out of my boots. I've had lots of comments and people asking about my snood in work and it was only a £7.99 impulse buy from New Look. I stumbled upon this by chance in...

I'm sure a lot of you are experiencing "What do I wear to the Christmas party?"dread, but fear not! There are some cracking dresses on the high street at the moment and I have selected my...

I had such a wonderful time in London yesterday, it would be great if all Saturdays could be like that. I got the 7.30am coach from Cardiff (it felt wrong to be up that early on a Saturday) and spent the entire day in Covent Garden. I wore my new dress that I mentioned in this post. It has a lovely big collar which...

There are lots of mid season sales on at the moment so its the perfect time to snap up a bargain. I'm avoiding all the old summer stock and pastels like the plague and trying to find items that will last me throughout the winter. Here are my top sale picks (I'm waiting for a few of these to arrive, can't say no...

I got a holiday bonus in my pay recently and rather than being cautious with it I blew it all on shoes, make up in Paris and booking trips to London. Life is too short to be sensible, right? Well I was a little sensible, I scoured the Internet for discount codes to use on all my purchases before buying. I wanted to...

I went out for a gnagnam style themed birthday on the weekend and had no idea what to wear. I'm old now and this fad has passed me by but apparently you need to dress classy and dance cheesy so I thought this black ASOS dress fitted the brief perfectly. I used a unidays discount code on this dress which meant it was...

T shirt: Topshop Necklace: New Look shoes: Converse Jeans: New Look I'm not wearing a dress or skirt. SHOCKER. These jeans are from New Look and are the comfiest jeans I own. Well, they are the only jeans I own... as you may have guessed from reading my blog trousers just aren't my thing and casual jeans are so far out of my...

Summer is finally over for me. There are no more festivals and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, feeling pretty down really. I need to replace most of last years winter wardrobe because my old favourites don't fit anymore but winter coats and sturdy shoes cost a small fortune so I'm not looking forward to this. I'm trying to buy...

I'm currently on a post Leamington Spa comedown or in sugar coma, not sure which one. Don't think I've managed to consume that amount of cake and sugary cocktails in one weekend before. I'd had a pretty hectic week as term started last Monday and it's been crazy in the library so I was really looking forward to my weekend away. After a...
