don't ask don't get!

Last Sunday Adam & I had our Engagement Session with Chris Barber (woop - more on that when we get the photos which we can't wait for!). We'd wanted to get some photos in a 50s diner & had emailed Ed's see their website here (**warning** if you're sneakily reading this at work or somewhere you shouldn't be make sure your speakers are switched off!) in Selfridges, Birmingham. Expecting a generic email back saying 'no' we got an excited personal response asking us what time we wanted to be there! When we arrived they'd reserved 4 booths for us to give us the space to move around & get the perfect shot. The special treatment didn't end there either - after our shoot & eating some amazing food (yup wedding diet's going sooo well!) we were presented with a food bill with 20% knocked off & a Clarins box filled with goodies to say congratulations! How amazing?!
I couldn't believe how much stuff was in the box it was so lovely of them!
We (well, I!) got the following:
~ 2 Clarins make up bags
~ Clarins invigorating fragrance, smoothing body scrub & hydraquench cream-mask
~ Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo eau de toilette samples & body lotion
~ perfume samples from Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Carolina Herrera & Ellie Saab
~ Juicy Couture body lotion & shower gel
~ Narciso Rodriguez scented candle
~ Clinique moisturizing lotion
Phew!
I just really wanted to say thanks so much to Ed's & all they did for us, they made a special day even more special! If you're ever in Brum, or London, they've got some there too (click the link to find the nearest one) & feeling a bit peckish check them out - great music, fab staff & scrummy food!

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent

Russia Rabble 2018

Image
Wow where did the last 6months go?! So far 2018 has been an ace one... not stopped as usual... but loved it all the same!  At the end of June Adam and I went to Russia with two friends... We went to Moscow and St Petersburg and we loved it. I knew it would be great but it was just so much nicer, friendlier and brighter than expected... check it out! late night flights... early morning landings... Greatest Showman binges (watched it 4 times in total - how amazing is this film?!)... lazy sleep breakfast... sunny morning walks... 40 winks on a park bench (due to 28hours of being awake!)... finally being able to check into our holiday apartment... another 40winks / 2hours kip... supermarket explorations... Bolshoi sightseeing... marvelous metro stations... jazzy shopping centers... twinkly lights everywhere... red square at night...  Day 2... wonderfully magical markets... pug cushion purchases... vodka for lunch... P&S anniversary dinner... Russian pug... stunnin
