The Glitterati with Crown & Glory September 2014
Earlier on in the week, I received this months Glitterati Box from Crown & Glory. The little “secret” Facebook group had been a buzz with excitement and from the 2nd on we’ve all been sharing the contents of our boxes. I’d like to add a note in here that the girls on the group are all LOVELY, so supportive and it’s a great way to swap for pieces that you feel will suit you more, which is important because these are blind boxes. Last month I swapped my small purple Not A Lotta Rosie for a Whole Lotta Rosie in mint which is much more my style. However, this month…

24th August – A Whole New World
On Sunday the 24th, I had until 3pm to myself so I’d penciled in more sightseeing in NYC. First I had to get up relatively early to switch hotels. The one I stayed in Friday & Saturday was sold out for Sunday so I’d booked a Hilton, and if i’m honest, I wish I’d just stayed there the whole time. For £70 a night I got a corner room on the top floor with the most amazing view of the Empire State and the New Yorker! It was breath taking, it was no wonder Namu & I slept that night with the curtains open! So after I’d dropped my case…

22nd & 23rd August – When You’re Curious, You Find Lots of InterestingThings to Do.
After my last post I ended up struggling to get time (or decent wifi) to update regularly while on my trip, then since returning I’ve ended up being so ill and jet lagged that it’s only really been yesterday and today I’ve felt up to doing anything more than lying around! But I will be bringing more updates over the next week or so including photos from my adventures. I can’t believe it’s all over now! It still feels very surreal! On the morning of the 22nd, despite not going to bed until after 1am, I got up at 6am to catch the 8am bus to Manhattan from DC. I…

Welcome, September*
Credit I cannot believe that (for me anyway) the 1st September marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn, and more excitingly, the run up to Christmas. As much as I love Summer, the long days and the warm weather, Autumn is where my heart truly lies. I love the cool crisp weather, the curtains drawn, candles lit and blankets on the bed. I love when everywhere starts to embrace the festive season and talking about Christmas shopping is acceptable. I love Autumn fashion for both myself and Little Miss, I love pumpkin spiced everything. However, I had a little eye opener last night while browsing Facebook to…
