Ella and Me Pyjamas: Lavender & Lace

December 19, 2016

This week marks a new milestone in my pregnancy – I’m 28 weeks and officially into the 3rd trimester!  Although I’m struggling with pre-exisiting health conditions coming back to haunt me and pelvic pain forcing me onto crutches, I am lucky enough to be otherwise enjoying […]

Blackspade Noir Olivia: Polka Dot Dressing Gown

November 17, 2016

Lounging around in a dressing gown is probably up there on my list of favourite things to do;  chilling out on the sofa with my favourite pjs on, all wrapped up in a comfy robe – you can’t beat that simple luxury!  While a fleecy […]

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 […]

Cosy Christmas Pyjamas | The Nightwear Edit

December 4, 2015

Christmas is our ultimate holiday, and while the festivities are a luxuriated given, one of the best things of the season is inarguably the endless duvet day opportunities.  Wrapped beneath a blanket with a hot chocolate in hand, nothing quite beats the indulgence of a guilt-free chill out. Cosy, comfy pyjamas were just […]

Relaxing at the end of a long day comes into its own when the nights begin to draw in.  In just a few weeks clocks will be turned back an hour and our homes plunged into darkness earlier – it’s time to hunker down and […]

Snuggly Bear Loungewear by Bedroom Athletics

June 21, 2015

It’s Summer, they said.  Time to pack away your winter wardrobe, they said.  Yet here we are in the midst of June and the sun is performing a disappearing act.  I’m cold, I’m trying to find my jumpers again and I’m not happy about it. […]

Freya Deco Delight: The Loungewear

May 31, 2015

Shopping for lingerie can be a challenge, so finding sleepwear to fit a big bust is a task in its own right.  Who even knew you could buy pyjamas specially for big boobs?   For me, it’s always been one of those things to bear in mind whatever […]

San Francisco Silk by Andrés Intimates

April 28, 2015

Luxury lingerie is a guilty pleasure for many.  Whether it’s a perfectly crafted aesthetic or covetable brand status that gets the pulse racing, indulgent lingerie will always have a place on our wish list. Premium fabrics increase the desirability of lingerie tenfold, and silk is widely considered one of the most sumptuous […]

Modern Thermals for a Snug & Sexy Winter

October 19, 2014

If you’re anything like me – an icicle in the slightest breeze – cold weather is the malevolent enemy.  Being adverse to arctic temperatures is one thing, but suffering the throes of poor circulation, or Raynaud’s in my case, makes this time of year every bit […]

Summer Sleepover | Pretty Polly Nightwear

May 17, 2014

Now that the weather is truly warming up, I’ve begun to think about what to wear differently for bed.  Whilst I usually snuggle down in long sleeved tops,t shirts and loose pyjama bottoms, humid evenings find me longing for something a  little less wrapped up. […]

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. 🌸
