In June, I will have been married for 16, yes 16 years yet I remember the planning like it was yesterday! Deciding on the date, the ceremony venue, the reception venue, the menu, the disco, the DJ, the dress, hair, makeup, bridesmaids, cars...the list was endless! The Church wedding and hotel reception were fantastic and … Continue reading The Barn at Avington
After seeing a post on Caroline Hirons Instagram about #getlippy and The Eve Appeal, I had to find out more.

We were extremely grateful for a slightly later lay-in on day 3. An early flight on day 1 from the UK through to a late Northern Lights night followed by the Golden Circle tour and Blue Lagoon trip on day 2...we needed sleep!

On his birthday I had wrapped … Continue reading Iceland Day 1 – chasing the Northern Lights

I've always loved makeup and hair (despite not being very … Continue reading Mode Makeup – Bridal Hair Up Course

The one shop that I couldn't wait to get to in New York was Sephora! Knowing the brands they sell are not necessarily available in the UK meant I was likely to be hunting out any Sephora store I could find and just visiting them all! Haha!

One of the main attractions that … Continue reading New York City – Final Day
