I've barely brushed off the glitter since I've seen Dita Von Teese in her new tour, Glamonatrix and oh my gosh it was so sparkly.

One of my favourite household chores is doing the laundry, I love the simplicity of it, the smells of the laundry products and getting time to go outside and enjoy the fresh air whilst I peg everything up.

It was another scorcher today and I spent most of it looking after my fur baby, she's not handling the heat very well. It's time for a quick catch up with friends, a bath and an early night! Hopefully I'll finish putting up more decorations tomorrow. Is your festive shrub up yet? Do you theme your tree? Photo by @angiedelariephotography Brooch @erstwilder Dress @tatyanaboutique
Give me fields and fill them with flowers and wheat; let me lay in them and soak in the sun. Leave this piece of Earth pure; and I will only leave behind joy. ❤❤ Photo by @angiedelariephotography Brooch by @erstwilder Dress from @theprettydress
Hurray for another amazing collection release from @erstwilder in collaboration with @petecromer 💛 This little Echidna stole my heart with his cuteness! Did you know a baby Echidna is called a 'puggle'? How cute! I also sewed up this dress so I have something light and airy to wear in this warm weather. It's an old Butterick pattern with vintage lace trim and fabric from good old @spotlight. Photo taken by @angiedelariephotography who is one of the greatest people I know. Go show her some love over at her page; it's filled with stunning ladies! What more could you want.
Take me back to seeing @ditavonteese perform her new #glamonatrix tour. It was everything and I'm still not over the sparkles. I was so excited to also be wearing glitter lips with Dita on the night, tutorial on this look in my bio link! 💋 I'm also so glad I picked up this cute T-shirt designed by @sveta_has as it's perfect for these very warm days;what an inspiration her work is and what a great capture of a very glamorous performance by Dita herself! I'm also still in love with these @swarovski Martini glass earrings 😍 can't get over the sparkle! What a lovely little souvenir from a wonderful night. Are you seeing Dita on tour?
What a lovely warm day today; I'm looking forward to getting out of the house tomorrow and spending some time in the city with friends ❤ I might go a swim at the beach this week if I can get some time. Are you a beach lover or more a pool person? I love the beach; the sound of the ocean is so relaxing! Photo by @angiedelariephotography
I could definitely feel the summer heat today! What a lovely warm day; perfect for doing laundry and a bit of admin work. I havn't run around in bathers for ages, might be time to hit the beach. Should I show you guys my vintage bathers collection? There's some really pretty ones in there! Might also be time for a beachy photoshoot ❤ Photo by @angiedelariephotography
Wishing I was twirling in my favourite city, Dublin will always have a piece of my heart and I miss it everyday. I mostly miss the beautiful friends and my bestie soul mate; she knows who she is ❤ Today was very filling I'm so glad I caught up with a dear friend who I hadn't seen in a while. I love them so very much and treasure our friendship. It's such a humbling feeling knowing that there are some people who will ways support you, laugh with you, be a shoulder to cry on and go along with your crazy adventures. ❤ Dress @theprettydress Bag @lolavonrose
I wish I looked half as glamorous today but instead it was aprons and rubber gloves on as I gave my home a deep clean before Christmas! I can't wait to decorate my home in a festive vintage style. So excited but I have to wait till December 1st as is tradition. This dress is an absolute dream to wear and I'm so glad @ingeborgaphotoart captured me in her. I think I might share one or two more from this series and save the rest for a rainy day 💜
So what started out as a calm Sunday ended up a vibrant adventure across the city! I found some pretty beautiful things which I'll post on my stories tomorrow including some very old magazines from the 1920s! Would anyone be interested in seeing what's inside them? Some of the articles are crazy and the adverts are hilarious!! I'm looking forward to a very busy week with lots of planning and hopefully catching up on a few things. I wish I was lounging in vintage luxury instead. 💙 Photo by @ingeborgaphotoart wearing true vintage dress from @forever_vintage_shop and necklace from @playclothesvintage
A casual day running errands and getting ready to do a bit of catch up. No matter how hard I try, I cannot keep ontop of emails and messages. Does anyone else struggle with this? Any tips you can share? Anyone want to be my Personal Assistant? Haha!! Photo by @ingeborgaphotoart from a shoot when I was in Dublin earlier this year. I found this true vintage gown at @astoreisbornvintage In Dublin the day before and simply couldn't leave it behind. Maybe one day I'll film all my vintage gowns for you 😍
