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 […]

My winter wedding dream didn’t go as I’d hoped which means, for now, I’m not yet a Mrs.  But with the wedding planning truly back on the cards, with sights set on a spring wedding, I’ve been getting back into the swing of all things bridal.  Right alongside what […]

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.) […]

Showcasing Luxury Lingerie: Tallulah Love

August 4, 2013

Luxury lingerie is women’s underwear at it’s finest, and when it’s homegrown right here in the UK it’s all the better.  You normally expect a prestigious brand to emerge from the southern counties, with businesses heading to the big smoke chasing the city dream and […]

Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ Rain doesn’t stop play around here 🤪 🌧️ 🌈 We’ve put our @englishheritage membership to good use and visited SO MANY places over the summer holiday. There’s been new pop badges released which Reuben has enjoyed collecting ALL of!  He’s also done the various trails which have been fun, and he achieved the coveted 2nd, 4th and 6th visit badges completing his summer ‘passport’. I think he’s chuffed!

So here’s yesterday’s day of play - Helmsley castle. Helmsley was my late Dad’s birthplace and stomping ground. Can’t visit here without feeling that connection. It threw it down with rain before the most glorious rainbow came out. 😌 🌈

Still on the school holiday adventure train with l Still on the school holiday adventure train with loads of photos to share from days out places, so just gonna dump yesterday’s shenanigans right now. 

A visit to the National Space Centre in Leicester, on our way back from a Legoland trip. 🚀 

This place was awesome! A bit of an information overload (I found) but it was all so interesting. Reubs loved the interactive bits like the mini Hadron Collider and a Q&A screen that went through the mathematical distances between us and each part of the universe.  Mind blowing stuff. We had a late lunch literally beneath a massive rocket which was pretty cool and finished off with a ‘sky at night’ show in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium. Could’ve spent longer as it was great, however it could be improved too. Some of the displays could do with updating in terms of ‘00s aesthetics and silly bits about girls being made of stardust and then the alien bit is a bit dubious. And I definitely think there’s room for more artefacts, like it’d be amazing to see moon rock or something from space, or even see what life is like in the international space station. How do they wash in space? Do they grow plants? That’d be interesting.

Has anyone else been here?  What did you think of it? 🤔 We’ll definitely return but not sure if it’s worth the 2hour drive on its own when there’s The Centre for Life in Newcastle with a very good space area.

Now that’s what I call a holiday! 🏝️👙☀ Now that’s what I call a holiday! 🏝️👙☀️
Exciting, first time thrills, hot, SO HOT, breath-taking, nausea-inducing, amazing, beautiful, sweaty and a terrifying experience all in one. So many thoughts and takeaways from our first proper family holiday (never been anywhere longer than 3 days, never abroad). The Greek island of Rhodes was an experience alright. Think I need to write a blog about this one! But yes, the post-holiday come down is happening, I’m a bit sad, and I’ve LOADS of photos to share. 😄
