I'm going to try and do my best to make you come and visit South Wales. It's half term this week so if you've got a week off, want to take your kids somewhere fun or you've got a uni reading week coming up there's plenty to entertain you right here in Cardiff and the surrounding areas. I've always lived in South Wales...

I've been in bed for most of my Sunday so far (the best way to spend a Sunday) watching some of my favourite Halloween/witch themed movies. Hocus Pocus and Bedknobs and Broomsticks have been on so far then I'm hoping to move on to the really scary stuff when it gets dark and we hopefully have the super storm that has been promised...

This is an outfit I've been wearing to work recently, we don't really have a dress code so I'm free to be pretty casual and wear what I like. This New Look skater skirt is the perfect length for work, most skater skirts just about skim your rear which is never a pretty sight. When did everything get so short? Skirt: New Look...

I had the pleasure of sampling the new Winter menu courtesy of Wagamama at the Cardiff Library branch a couple of weeks ago. I'm always pleased to see new additions to the menu as I dine there pretty frequently and like to try new things. The super spicy 'Firecracker' was my favourite addition last time and I was hoping to find a new...

I had seen people posting photos of this dress on instagram for the past few weeks and I knew it had to be mine despite not really being very flattering or fitting very well on the top half (might try and alter it). I love tartan, peter pan collars and bows, if only this dress had a skater style skirt then I would...

This outfit is probably my favourite thing to wear at the moment. I love my pretty girly shoes and feel like a school girl in them, I had a Clarks pair nearly identical to these as a kid. I lusted after this Zatchels bag for ages and finally took the plunge when they had a sale earlier this year and have used it...

I took a few days off last week to look after my lovely Labrador Sookie and spend some time with my boyfriend while my mum was on holiday. I don't get to spend as much time with her as I would like because I work full time and I'm away a lot on weekends so I really enjoyed my time with her even...

Hotter shoes invited me to their Cardiff store a couple of weeks ago to take a look around and get correctly fitted for a pair of shoes. I have to admit I only had a limited knowledge of the store before taking a look around.So if you are in the dark like I was here's a little background information on Hotter Shoes: The...

I wore this outfit for my trip to Birmingham last weekend. the jersey dress was perfect for a long train journey because it's comfy and doesn't crease. I had my eye on this dress for a while and treated myself on payday and got this along with a baseball top, beanie hat and a belt... I got a little carried away.   Dress:...

I don't know about you but I always like to try and buy British. The new Marks & Spencer collection celebrates British design, craftsmanship and manufacture so I'm pretty excited about the launch and can't wait to see it in stores. Best of British, has both womenswear and menswear lines, combining a rich heritage of traditionally made fabrics with chic, modern styling. Here...

Books are personal. You can make notes in the margin, fold the pages, get them signed by the author and then there's that book smell... nothing beats it. I work in a library with books all day, buy records and write letters. I'm pretty traditional and only recently got a smart phone so I wasn't sure if a Kindle was going to be...

There are loads of student lock-ins at the moment and I'm a little envious because my student ID expired in 2008. Where are my discounts and free goody bags? Well non students (and students) can rejoice because Outfit in Cardiff are having a 1st birthday bash this week and everyone is invited. Pop along to the store in the Capitol Shopping Park in...

Seasalt have been on my radar for a while now. I live in wet Wales and I'm always on the lookout for practical yet stylish coats for the winter and Seasalt really fit the bill. The business started in 1981 in Penzance and all their clothing and coats have a very British seaside feel and are something I could see Rosie wearing when...

I ADORE autumn and winter clothing and spend more on clothes in October and November than I do in all of the spring/summer months put together. Pastels and summer dresses just don't do it for me. I love leopard print, leather, lace, glitter and tartan and you get all these things in abundance on the high street at this time of year. I...
