Shopping Spotlight – The Jewel Hut*
With Mothers Day around the corner and my mother being the most difficult person to buy for, I mean what can you buy for the lady who has everything? I’ve already been looking at my shopping options to buy her the most perfect gift. In fact Mothers Day falls 3 weeks from today on Sunday 26th March so I really need to get a shimmy on. Thankfully I’ve just discovered your one stop shop for your jewellery needs, The Jewel Hut. First launched back in 2006, The Jewel Hut has gone from strength to strength. Specialising in fashion jewellery brands such as Pandora, Links of London, Thomas Sabo and many…

Disney Parks Essentials – Our Favourite Small Shops*
Getting ready for any Disney holiday is stressful, be you visiting for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. It’s not cheap and you want to have the most magical time possible and part of that magic is in the preperation. As a parent, for me the prep is in the outfit planning and the little things that will really make Little Miss feel like she’s in the Disney bubble and I’ve found if you shop small rather than shopping while at a Disney Parks it doesn’t need to cost the earth. Over the last two years I’ve come across so many different shops through places like Etsy,…

Christmas Ideas with Snapfish
I know a lot of people become interesting in photography when they become parents but for me, it’s always been a huge interest. When I was at uni I was always the one with the camera snapping memories for people who wouldn’t remember the night (often me). I always had a camera for every holiday, and not just my phone, a proper camera. A couple of years ago I invested in an SLR shortly before my first trip to Florida and it was the best thing I’ve ever got. I’m hoping to treat myself to my 3rd lens in the new year. Because I take a lot of photos, it’s…

Hey Happiness Review
With Christmas shopping on a lot of peoples minds at this time of year I try to shop around and support smaller brands when it comes to the gifts I buy. One such brand I have recently come across is Happiness Boutique and I’ve been lucky enough to receive a couple of pieces from them to really see what their service is like, especially being a company that isn’t based in England. In case you haven’t heard of Happiness Boutique, they’re a fashion jewellery brand based in Berlin. They pride themselves on being a happy soulful brand bringing you statement pieces with real meaning behind them. They wanted accessories that…

Shopping Spotlight – Magical Things
One of my favourite things about Disney becoming so mainstream is the abundance of creative people who are able to make more and more unique Disney products available to buy. As we all know Little Miss loves Peter Pan and Wendy but there isn’t that much merchandise available especially of Wendy and especially for children. If it wasn’t for these creative people and platforms such as Etsy, Little Miss wouldn’t have a Wendy dress, we would be seriously lacking in Peter Pan art work and we’d struggle to find shirts and accessories of our favourite character and film. Because of this I am a huge supporter of small businesses that…

Shopping Spotlight – Vintage Light Jewelry
Instagram really is a wonderful piece of social media. In fact it’s my favourite as I’m a very visual person. What I love the most is how many friends, and small businesses it’s introduced me to over the years, specifically the last year. One of these is an American based artist called Jodi, and her store Vintage Light Jewelry. I’ve been following and talking to her on Instagram for quite a while but it’s only in the last month did I manage to get ahold of one of her beautiful pieces, well two of her pieces as she sent something for Little Miss too! Last year Jodi started making beautiful…
