What I did this month: June 2018


1 & 2 - Seeing Taylor Swift earlier this month (BEST NIGHT EVER)
2 & 3- Night out with my favourite people for pizza and lots of wine!!


3. Recieving our wedding photos back // 4. Arriving in Bulgaria with a beautiful view
5. A day at the beach with Luke // 6. Alllll the cheese. Out for a lunch meal in a new city


7. A welcome home cheese night with my sis // 8. Shopping & food with Maisie


9. A home-alone Dominos after the shittest week... ever! // 10. My current bloody bathroom*

*It's half way through being done - this is the 'ripped out chic' stage - gross, right?

How is it July already?! Where is 2018 going? SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!

Just to be clear, I've picked out the absolute best of this month - things that haven't been mentioned: migraines, contraception implant removal and re-insertion, heat stroke, smear test, 300+ unread emails and they are just from this past week. DOMINOS + GIN = NECESSARY, OK?

Enjoy your weekends!

Wedding Wednesday: Our Story


Hello my loves,

I'm finally back and seeing as it's Wednesday, I thought I'd kick this blog back off with a cheeky Wedding Wednesday post. As I'm sure you've spotted, the domain has officially changed to my new name (!!) and I'm over the moon with how it looks!

We had the most perfect day & I'm looking forward to sharing more posts surrounding the day with you in the coming weeks.

So, as it's the first post since the actual wedding, I thought it might be worth me starting at the beginning - with our story, our engagement and the lead up to our wedding.

Luke & I have been together for just over 7 years now and believe it or not, we actually met whilst working at our local supermarket together on the checkouts! He was 16 & I was 17 (toy boy) & so, as we were too young to go for drinks or anything fancy, we just went into Nottingham to do a spot of shopping. He got a Ralph Lauren polo shirt (ew, so 2011..) and I think I got myself a new outfit from Primark (still v.classy, loving my Primarni) and it went from there.


After about a month of back to back Blackberry messaging (BB pins, remember those?), he finally asked me out.

We had been together just over 3 years when we finally decided it was time to buy our own place & so we put down the deposit on our lovely little home that couldn't be more perfect. It was definitely interesting moving in to our own home - Luke hung mirrors at his own height (I could only see my forehead)and set oven gloves on fire accidentally, but I wouldn't change a thing.

In 2016, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary where Luke whisked me away on a surprise trip to Verona, Italy and on the final night of our trip, he proposed on a rooftop overlooking the whole of Verona. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect.


It's been a long two years of planning this wedding, but I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every second of it - I think I should've been a wedding planner in another life - who knew I was so thorough and obsessed?

So there we are, a complete whistle-stop, non-soppy post about our story. I hope you enjoyed this (and the v.v. cringey photos of us both!)

Speak soon, I promise!
