Pasqualinos: possibly the best pizza in Newcastle..

A couple months ago I dragged the guys from Precept along to Pasqalinos' first birthday party, to sample their amazing pizza for the first time since their refurb. With a four tonne Woodstone oven,...

Good jeans, bad jeans and everything in between..

There is nothing which infuriates me more than shopping for jeans. It's not something I ever look forward to doing. To be honest, they're not something I ever really plan on buying. Usually I only...

Back to basics: bretons, bright red and battered leather bags

Being loaded with cold, depressed by the rain and after a few bouts of bad luck; this weekend has left me wanting to curl up underneath the covers and hide. When things aren't going your way and...

Blogging for Boutique at Fenwick

As those of you from the North East will already be well aware, Newcastle Fashion Week is back with all kinds of fun-filled events. Tonight I was lucky enough to be invited along to Fenwick for a...

Gingham, Garden Kitchen and really good cocktails...

With the excitement of the long weekend, I got a little too distracted having fun to blog.. but I guess now's a good as time as ever to catch up. First and foremost, these are my new favourite...

Commodity x Ferroconcrete

When I was at work the other day Mark, one of Precept's designers, stumbled on Commodity on September Issue's blog. I couldn't resist sharing not only their branding but also their innovative model...

Fifth Avenue, 5am: Audrey Hepburn and the making of Breakfast atTiffany's

I must have been about 14 the first time I ever watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was playing one Sunday afternoon and can remember my Mam settling down with me on the sofa to watch it. She had...

Breakfast at Tiffany's, bright red lips and my first brownie since bootcamp

This is one of those posts that I was supposed to post yesterday. It wasn't that I didn't want to write. I did, it's just that everything else seemed to get in the way. I found myself spending all...

The Grazer's Distinctly British Supperclub

After getting back from bootcamp, I had the best intentions to get back on track with my blogging. I had loads of posts lined up and somewhere between getting settling back into work and catching...

Back to blogging..

Every now and then I agree to something that makes me question my sanity. This weekend was a prime example of that.. having been contacted by Travel Supermarket I agreed immediately when they asked...

Classics, kindles and KleverCases

Being a literature grad and a book worm, I've always loved old hardbacks with pretty covers, and lately I've found the perfect solution for disguising my kindle! Based in the UK, KleverCases are...

Giveaway: Sol Repbulic tokidoki Tracks HD

I realised the other day that I've never hosted a giveaway before! I've been blogging steadily for a while now, but since my blogging habits were bad when I first started Raspberry Kitsch, there...

CraftyBadger, clever friends and pretty pendants..

One of the downsides to having my best friends scattered up and down the country is that I don't get to see them all as regularly as I'd like to. On the other hand it's always nice to receive...

Laid back locks and slouchy style

Hush's Spring Summer 13 catalogue landed on my doorstep the other day, and for the first time ever, I've found myself dog-earing the majority of the pages. Usually when I flick through I can only...

French Connection, floral dresses and feeling ready for summer..

A combination of the clocks going back (meaning it's now light when I leave the studio), and the little taster of sunshine we've been enjoying, have got me pining for the summer time. Since the...

Sunshine and simple things

After months of horrendously cold weather, this afternoon we finally got a little bit of sunshine! And after spending the last couple of days cooped up indoors and feeling sorry for myself, it was...

Mojitos and murder mysteries at the Crisis Skylight Cafe

After an extremely busy week with the Shift event and despite the long weekend, and all my hopes of (finally) getting on top of my blogging, I've spent the last couple of days in bed and doped up...

Bad blogging and book reviews..

I've been a horrendous blogger lately, I know. For some reason, I just haven't been able to find the motivation to write let alone post. When I was looking for a full time job, and being frustrated...

Calling all NE Creatives..

Shift, the internship programme funded by Precept, is launching a new series of events, Shift Live! More than just an excuse for a drink (or two), Shift Live No.1 will take the form of Shift's...

Happy Healthy Eating, love from Krispy Kreme

In a bid to get ready for summer (which really isn't very far away), I've been on a health kick.. Unfortunately that kind of got put on the back burner this afternoon when Krispy Kreme decided to...

Wellies, wool socks and cable-knit cardigans..

I've had enough of the snow; I'm ready for sunshine. Unfortunately, it feels as though the weather has gone back into winter mode at the moment, which is pretty confusing when all I want to do is...

Tea, cake and catching up with a few favourites..

After such a busy week at work, there was nothing I needed more than a quiet weekend spent catching up with a few of my favourite ladies. I've been flat out working to get Viveras ready to launch,...

Ready for an adventure?

I've never really been a backpack kinda girl. Since entering adulthood, the first time I bought myself a backpack was last year before I travelled to India. And even then it was a necessity...

Pom-poms and prosecco

Hello again! Ok I've dropped off the blogging map a little at the moment being tied up with work projects but I thought it was about time I posted these... The other week I mentioned the Caroline...

Beehives and boxy shapes: Orla Kiely AW 13 Presentation

If I could've wished myself at any of the London Fashion Week presentations so far, Orla Kiely's sixties secretary chic would definitely be at the top of my list.. I've never really been that hung...

'Get on your dancing shoes..'

Summer still feels too far away: it's bloody freezing, the weather refuses to behave itself, the nights (and mornings) are still too dark, and all I want is a bit of sunshine; preferably on a beach...

Byker in a bygone era..

After having a pretty heavy week at work and a friend visiting at the weekend, I decided to take a little break from blogging... It's strange though because I find that the less I blog, the less I...

From Krispy Kreme with love..

Valentine's Day: one of those pointlessly demoralising holidays where everything becomes pink, fluffy and heart shaped, and is designed to make you feel socially retarded unless you're in a...

Made in Britain

With the wintery weather meaning that it's dark when I leave for work and even darker when I get back home, it's been a while since I've posted an outfit. And because I've just been dressing from...
