St Mary’s Inn, Morpeth

St Marys Inn

When I heard that the old St Mary’s Hospital which was known as The Gateshead Lunatic Asylum was being converted in to luxury housing and a beautiful gastro pub – St Mary’s Inn, I jumped at the chance to pop along for a visit.

Barbour Mens Great Coat Collection

Barbour Mens Great Coat Collection

Hello Lovelies, 

A wee while ago Mr Tramp splurge on a beautiful duffel coat from Barbour in Jarrow. 

With only 1 on the rack in his size and priced at a very affordable £90, he snapped it up but we couldn’t find it online anywhere.

Within the last week, Barbour have announced their new capsule collection called Great Coat.

Inspired by the original Great Coat – a heavy-duty military jacket designed to offer soldiers warmth and protection – this robust collection presents a legion of men’s waxed, quilted and wool jackets that are authentically styled and equipped to combat the worst winter weather

Whilst the coat is warm and very durable , it is not overly heavy which makes it a great every day coat. A more formal alternative to a waxed or quilted jacket.

Festive red glitter gel nails

Festive red glitter gel nails

Hello Lovelies, 

I have dabbled in at-home gel polish kits before but yesterday I had my nails done with gel polish at a nail salon for the first time.

With it being party season, Christmas AND going away on hols, I thought it was only right to bust out the mega glitter.

This is a ruby red glitter gel from an unknown brand but the camera just doesn’t do it justice. I just can’t pick up how blingy it is!


In the theme of keeping matchy matchy, I have painted my toenails with a thin layer of OPI Big Apple Red then topped it off with 2 coats of Barry M Red Glitter and the match is perfect!

But I won’t show you my feet, don’t worry!

Sunday Brunch, The View, Marquis Hotel, New York

Sunday Brunch, The View, Marquis Hotel, New York

Hello Lovelies, 

Bit of a different one today as it is more of a preview than a review!

As we go to New York in a mere few hours, we have booked ourselves a fancy pants Sunday Mimosa Brunch ($59 pp) at The View restaurant.

Sitting at the top of the Marquis Hotel, The View is a 360 degree rotating restaurant offering breathtaking views of the city from 48 floors up. The only in the city!


It is noted to have the best dining views in the city….

As the restaurant takes 1 hour to rotate, they provide handy maps on the napkins so you always know what you are looking at. How cool is that?

Bag lust with Phillip Lim Pashli

Bag lust with Phillip Lim Pashli

Hello Lovelies, 

I have been pining after a Pashli satchel bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim for a while now. Given the price of them in the UK, i decided to buy one on holiday with the cracking exchange rate.

Of course on our last trip to America I couldn’t find a colour in stock I liked… this time I can’t decide between a normal, medium  or mini!

I’m pining for either the blush pink, the storm grey or a sensible black!


I have been saving my pennies so I can’t wait to splurge, I’m just no further forward on deciding what I want!

You have no idea how long I have been looking at that image for, trying to make my mind up!
