The Disney Store at 30
This year, while I celebrated turning 29, The Disney Store celebrated their 30th. The first store opened on March 28th 1987 in Glendale, California but it would be a few years before the first one appeared in the UK which opened in London the November of 1990. Ever since then they’ve been a fantastic treat to find in many cities across the UK, There are currently 42 stores across the UK and you can guarentee whenever LM and I are near one we’ll be popping in. The Cast Members and displays make it a magical place to be and we always get our Disney fix. As you can guess, Disney…

Little Miss Cosplays – Belle
Growing up we really didn’t have much money. For a long time my mum didn’t work, then when she started to work she went to retrain as a teacher. We didn’t have a car for a long time although both my parents could drive. Until I was 9 I had never been abroad and even our first trip (which was to Walt Disney World) was because my dad had been made redundant. I wouldn’t say we ever went without though. Any spare money my parents had, they spent on my sister and I, and when I became a mother I vowed I would do the same. But as a single…

Little Miss Cosplays – New at Closet Geek
Goodness it’s been forever since our last edition of Little Miss Cosplays but a lot of that has been to do with the lighting in my lounge and the fact I felt disillusioned with photography for a while. But since setting myself a challenge of improving my photography skills in 2017 I’ve dug it out and dusted it off, ready to practice my portraits again. And what better way to practice than to take some photos of the fantastic dresses Bee has been working on for Closet Geek? Peter Pan Inspired Dress* RRP £25 We all know how much Little Miss loves Peter Pan so I think this Peter Pan…

What Little Miss Read & World Book Day 2016
On Thursday it was World Book Day. As a kid, World Book Day was always one of my favourite days of the year because not only could we go to school dressed as our favourite book character (and back then no one went in store bought costumes) but you also got a £1 book token and at that age, that was a lot! And now it’s Little Miss’ turn to take part. In the “baby” room they just have to take their favourite book, but in the bigger room they got to dress up as their favourite character, just like I used to! So, in the back of my mind…

Little Miss Cosplays Part Six
Time for another installment of Little Miss Cosplays, today we’re looking at her Big Hero 6 inspired outfits! My daughter is a little bit weird, she loves BH6 way more than Frozen (don’t get me wrong, she loves to meet the sisters in person but she would never pick the movie over BH6). Her 4th birthday was even Big Hero 6 themed! I know a lot of it is to do with the fact it’s the first movie she ever saw at the cinema, but in my opinion, it is a far superior movie, it’s just a shame Disney cannot see that. Never mind! Despite the fact you can only…

Little Miss Cosplays, Part Five
It’s getting to that time before a trip where I’m starting to think about what I’m going to be putting into the cases. As we’re away for 4 weeks and 80% of that time is going to be spent in the parks, my main focus is of course on the outfits Little Miss is going to wear. I’m at the stage where I need to try everything on and hope they fit, work out what little accessories she needs (because she’s a stickler for that sort of things these days!) So that of course means we’re going to have regular Little Miss Cosplays posts for the next few weeks. I…
