#215 Shopping Spotlight – Bits and Bows Boutique
WARNING, this is an outfit post.. and we all know how dreadful I look in outfit posts. I really can’t decide if it’s because my camera is rubbish, my tripod isn’t tall enough, I have no good lights, I’m rubbish or I’m just not photogenic. But anyway, here are some rubbish photos as ever. In January I am going to take a proper camera course and hopefully by then I’ll be able to afford a DSLR to take with my to class. But for today… I have more photos that do not justify the lovely dress. The outfit is completely Jess Day of New Girl inspired, as I’m currently addicted…

The Heart of the Truest Believer?
I guess this post is a continuation of my post on my mid twenties fear. I have now been single for the longest time since I was wow.. probably seventeen. We’re coming up to the year and a half point, which in hindsight probably isn’t that long, but I’m now in my mid-twenties with some incredibly cute baggage. I jumped from relationship to relationship, some more real than others. Some.. purely sex, some I thought were the “real” thing. After my last terrible relationship, I think I’ve ended up being pretty jaded. Perhaps even hopeless is a word to describe how I feel about the chance of ever being in…

Paris Planning
As i’ve mentioned a million times, i’m heading off to Paris for a few days at the end of the month. When i’m having a bad day, this is one of the things that keeps me going. Today hasn’t been a great day so this evening I sat on my phone browsing Pinterest for some ideas on where I’d like to visit when I’m there. I’m going with the truly lovely Hayley from Strangeness & Charm and she has made it very clear the places she wants to visit; the catacombs, Musee d’Orsay, Paris’ cat cafe & La Favourite Cafe. I’m cool with all of these although I’ll probably be…

Autumn Favourites
Now we’re into October, autumn is in full swing. Coffee shops are advertising everything with some form of spice, the Christmas catalogs are released in shops and we close our curtains before the little ones are even in bed! I’ve found myself putting the fire on for a little while every day, putting extra blankets on the bed and even going in to check Little Miss is well covered up while she sleeps. I have no hope of seeing any more summer weather now, this is the first year in a while we haven’t had a real hot spell before it gets cold and yeah I’m sad my sandals are…

#210 Recipe No.16 Cinnamon and Honey Figs
Firstly, let me just say that this recipe isn’t so much a recipe but more of an ingredient inspiration. Recently Sarah of Lovely Strumpet has been posting the most scrummy looking meals on her instagram, a lot of them containing figs, which is a fruit I have to admit has never ever appealed to me. I don’t even like fig rolls! However, Sarah convinced me that they do in face taste good, both in sweet and savoury dishes. So when I saw them on offer in Aldi for 79p for four, I thought, what the heck? And I bought them. At first I didn’t know what to do with them,…
