The Self and The Selfie

July 3, 2020July 2, 20202 Comments

Over the last little while, I've been thinking about the way we represent ourselves in both real life and the online realm. The online world is a strange space where you can be whoever you want to be with very few limitations; you can become famous overnight or build an empire. I've been reflecting a … Continue reading The Self and The Selfie

That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

April 25, 2020April 25, 20203 Comments

A little while ago, I wrote up a post all about how to organise a photoshoot whilst travelling (link here) and thought it would be fun to share just what such collaborations can create. When I knew I was going to be travelling to Poland last year, I really wanted to grab the opportunity to … Continue reading That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

Oversharing with MonMon – Knitting

June 21, 2019June 24, 20191 Comment

I think we all have that skill or talent we want to learn but we put it in the 'one-day' pile. For me, that skill was knitting. I had always wanted to learn it when I was in high school but this is before there were tutorials on YouTube and I knew nobody who could … Continue reading Oversharing with MonMon – Knitting

Up in the Air Skincare: How to protect your skin on a flight

March 25, 2019September 23, 20191 Comment

I travel a lot so I know the struggle of trying to stop my skin from freaking out whilst on a plane. Having your daily routine thrown out the window, excessive drying from constant aircon, lack of sleep and a limit of products available to you can all cause your skin to break out or … Continue reading Up in the Air Skincare: How to protect your skin on a flight

Pretty in Pink Dress – Kova Kiss Review

March 15, 2019March 13, 2019Leave a comment

Some things can just truly make your day; a delicious cup of tea in the morning, fresh flowers and a brand new pink dress. I was recently contacted by the brand Kova Kiss and asked if I would like to review one of their dresses and after peeping at their website, it was an absolute … Continue reading Pretty in Pink Dress – Kova Kiss Review

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
