Over the Bank Holiday weekend I headed to Sheffield for a wedding of a fellow blogger and I had a wonderful time. I love weekend breaks and it was the first time I've attended a wedding with my +1 Martyn so I was looking forward to a trip away with him too. As much as I love travelling around the UK there is...

He packed a little picnic and took me to one of my favourite spots. We went to Nash Point on one of our first dates and it's such a beautiful place...

Dress: c/o Warehouse - Shoes: eBay - Necklace: H&M - Watch: Daniel Wellington I'm wearing this to work today and it's sunny and 19 degrees. I like to think that I look like someone from American Horror Story Coven but maybe I should be wearing sandals and a maxi dress because this is probably our British summer, right? This dress may be black...

I've posted a few snaps of my new house over on Instagram but I haven't really shared any detailed photos even though I've been here for a couple of months now.

It’s much easier to simply update a look rather than to jump into the latest fashion, which will usually require a restyle in six months’ time. Clothes and clothing accessories aren’t always top of a man’s list when it comes to disposing of that...

Boohoo unveiled its new plus-size range recently and I was pleasantly surprised by the collection. Plus size clothing can be rather expensive. Leggings and tunics are £20+ when the standard sized ones are much cheaper.  I love the pastels, neons and sports luxe items in the collection but I also love the price- nothing costs more than £30! The range comes in sizes...

I've let myself slide into a bout of self-pity recently. I've been thinking about how I'm not happy with the way I look, I've been comparing myself and my surroundings with other people and what they have. I'm not a very optimistic person and sometimes these thoughts can get the better of me. I'm trying to learn to be happy with my lot...

I had a very tasty Bleecker Street Burger with Hannah before heading to see... The Manics in Brixton Academy. Tried baked eggs for the first time and they make an excellent brunch. Martyn assembled my bed and hung some pictures up for me so my dressing room/guest room is looking lovely. I headed to Caerleon Roman Fortress with my best friend for a...

I don't really talk about my job on the blog very often as I'm sure a lot of you wouldn't find it very interesting. I don't work in fashion or PR or the music industry or any of those jobs that Cosmo tell you how to 'bag' in those articles which annoy me. I might want to be a farmer or a dentist,...
