#BEDM: A catch up

So, a couple of days off the #BEDM challenge, but necessary as I really don't think I could have written the 'how do you stay healthy' post, given the amount of food and alcohol I consumed this...

Spring is here!

The sun has finally made more than a fleeting appearance and I've been hearing scandalous whispers of it being twenty-three degrees come Monday. Winning! To me, Spring signifies light and new...

The Awakening

New Year? New Now.

A while ago, I decided that new year's resolutions were BS. There's so much pressure around January 1st, wiping the slate clean, doing something big and fabulous and making it 'your year.' Well, if...

Feelings: Thirty minus three

On my Wishlist: Olivia Burton

Oh, I'm having a glorious week off of work. Apart from my body waiting until now getting ill, which is just bloody typical. It's so nice to have some down time regardless. Wrapped up in a...

The week.

Learning: Not to take love for granted. If its worth it, work at it. Or rather, being reminded that I have some flippin' awesome friends. Quoting: "Don't devour life, savour it." Reading: Men are...

A little lolly, a lotta Lita

I've wanted to be the cool chick rocking the Jeffery Campbell Lita's for the longest time. But they are the epitome of the illogical woman's shoe: big on hotness, equally big on discomfort. And...

Beguiled.

Beguiled// Topshop// £8 Late night visits to Topshop are bad. The flagship store is open until 10pm, so there I am meandering along, minding my own business and the shiny lights and pretty windows...

It's Love.

Biker Jacket// River Island// £70 Navy. Leather (ok, faux leather). Warm (75% wool!). Mine come pay day.

Galaxy.

Spotted this in River the other night. Doesn't suit me, but I still think it's really striking. It's got a lot of elastane and is true to size, but I prefer wearing things loose and oversized. Oh,...

Inspiration #1

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the...

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that

Autumn to me means boots and brogues. On my wishlist are two pairs from Russell & Bromley, but who has £400 to spare on two pairs of shoes? Not me, that's for sure. Way back down in the realms of...

Monday's Sentiment: Short and Sweet

Guess what? Life's not as complicated as we make it.

Sunday's Sentiment: Never too late

This is my nan. As many of you know, I regard her as a bit of a legend. I live with her, and though it's great, there are definitely some pros and cons. Getting my ironing done, pro. All of the...

27 things

I kind of view this blog as a personal chronicle of me. It documents the things I did with the people I loved, and one day I can see it being a way of my kids and even grandkids having an insight...

A Summer's night in London

London is THE place to be right now. What with all of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, the Olympic and Paralympic games, London is one hot ticket. But I've always had an affinity for London. I've...

Jamaica, Jamaica

Though I am British born and bred, Jamaica - the land of my heritage - celebrates fifty years of independence today. So I've put together a little picture post of some of the things that make me...

AW12: H&M Lookbook

I came across this video on You Tube of H&M's Autumn/Winter lookbook and thought I'd share. Heavy on the trends (think embellishment, leather and metallics) but light on the wallet, there are some...

Thursday: A Thought

Snack Time: Salted Caramel Popcorn

So the world of popcorn has gone gourmet, with every incarnation known to man being rubbed together (sweet chilli and lime has to be my favourite to date). But my boy just doesn't get it. Unless...

Musings: The Devil's in the Detail

I love the way that one little thing can make an outfit: a watch, chunky jewellery, bold colours, a mish mash of textures and prints; how one small piece can bring a person's personality to the...

The Week: Hectic much?

Well, this week's been a bit of a doozie, hence the minimal blogging. And now as another week approaches, I find myself wide awake when I've got to be up in less than six hours...yes, wide awake...
