I had a wonderful bank holiday weekend in the city of Manchester with my friend Emma and celebrating two of my best friends birthdays in Cardiff. Happy Birthday Sarah and Laura! Here are some of my photos from my trip to Manchester...




I went to Manchester Museum where I looked at all the minerals, the John Rylands library (bit of a busman's holiday) and for a dance in 42nd Street.


I really enjoyed the People's History Museum, there were a few mentions of south Wales Chartist and socialist past which I loved and there was a strong focus on labour history and women's involvement in it. Well worth a visit if you are in Manchester.


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, back to work now *sigh*

Just wanted to share some of my recent instax photos with you. I bought my camera last year, used it on hols and forgot all about it but I have made an effort to take it out with me recently. I love how you are never sure what you will get and a lot of the photos are truly awful but where is the fun in editing them?

When I was offered the chance to take part in the Idealo Spring Dress Challenge I was allowed to pick any dress that I thought summed up Spring. I looked at pastels, the tribal prints and sports luxe trends that are on the high street at the moment and they really aren't for me. I don't have a Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I live in south Wales so we don't really have a summer... I like to wear my dresses all year round but add more layers and black tights for winter.

I eventually decided to go with this dress from Monsoon-


I thought the frills and floral design made it Spring like and feminine. I think this is a very classic dress that I will be able to wear all year round rather than a passing trend. I'm not quite brave enough to go completely bare legged so I popped some nude tights on and paired the dress with the heels I bought for a wedding last year.
