Ella & Me Sleepwear : A Very British Lace Story

March 25, 2016

I love pyjamas.  I ought to feel somewhat guilty in admitting a day spent lounging in my jim-jams is a day well spent, but I don’t.  It may not qualify me as an expert in nightwear but I’m most definitely 100% fussy enough to know a […]

Playful Promises Fuller Busted | Playful Portia

December 3, 2015

It was my very first lingerie themed modelling shoot six years ago when Playful Promises came into my line of sight.  Then I found myself wearing the brand when I won the Hepburn and Leigh modelling competition in 2014, and since then I’ve accumulated something of a collection.  You could say […]

Sukki Singapora Interview | A Tutti Rouge Affair

May 14, 2015

No two worlds collide in such a glittering fashion as the lingerie industry and the burlesque scene.  Historically, lingerie has a heritage steeped in conformity, while Burlesque’s roots were society’s boundary pushing and provocative kickback.  These days, the alternative genre of burlesque is not quite mainstream, but it […]

Pin Up Pretty | Dovima Thorny Rose Dress

September 20, 2014

Dressing a curvy figure can be a tricky task.  I for one am aware of my lumps and bumps, and know I look my best by celebrating my hour glass frame rather than hiding it away beneath unflattering clothes (which I am undeniably guilty of doing.) […]

I was so excited to find black elder growing in th I was so excited to find black elder growing in the garden when we moved here. It’s a dark shrub that flowers pink blossoms which turn to elderberries in the autumn. It’s not as common as the white flowering elder you see in the countryside everywhere. Now that’s lovely stuff to make elderflower cordial with but let me tell you, pink elderflower is something else! 

I made this myself last week. Picked the flowers Wednesday morning, let them steep in the sugary lemon syrup then filtered and bottled it Saturday morning.  So now I have just shy of four litres of this concentrated fruity-floral gorgeousness to sip through the rest of the summer. 😋 It’s lovely just with water and ice but it’s so good with lemonade too - might also try it with a shot of vodka. 😉 

Has anyone tried this before? Would you have a drink of it?

This is the best time of year. Flowers in bloom. Strawberries. Daylight hours still increasing. Hot sun. Okay I live in my sunglasses because sunshine gives me headaches and heat makes me nap but it’s all good. ☀️ 😎
Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last night thanks to winning tickets from TK Maxx. They were SO GOOD! 🥁🎤 It was great hearing them play all their instruments and sing so effortlessly.  Runaway and Breathless were *chefs kiss* 👌🏻Dreams makes me think of being 16 again in the 90s, well, before the crap part. 
Awesome night. Teeth chatteringly cold in my little dress but brill experience.  Now I have a dehydration headache cos I was too anxious to drink. 😆

Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually went to the beach the other week, just never posted about it. I’m layered up with a knitted jumper and cardi over the top while I wait in hope of this week’s *warmer* forecast. But right now, I AM FREEZING MY TITS OFF! 🤣

I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. La I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. Last week was half term and I went out once. 😂 Went to Mum’s though which is a big trip for me. I find anxiety and hypermobility pains a bit of a mix behind the wheel, and I’m hoping the painful knee I have right now isn’t a result of driving cos that’d suck. But I’m soldiering on. 😅  I’m fine with tootling about to the shops and doing the school run. 🌸
