Coffee Week – 11th – 17th April

Harvest Canteen Jesmond Review

If you follow my Instagram account (here), you’ll know I am more than fond of a cup of coffee or 2 to get me through a long day in the office so you can imagine how I am celebrating Coffee Week this week!

I’m cracking open my latest bag of OCC beans as it happens but when the nice people at House of Fraser sent me a nifty info graphic all about the strong black liquid I knew I had to post it. I don’t know if I have mentioned it before but my first job at the tender age of 16 was in a House of Fraser restaurant where I spent Saturdays dishing out cappuccinos from a fancy coffee machine!

5 ways to wear white jeans

5 ways to wear White Jeans

Every spring, I dig out my trusty white skinny jeans and pair them with a crisp blue shirt, nautical stripe or a bold coral. Then I get them grubby before I even make it out of my bedroom, change them and then stuff them back in to my wardrobe.

Not the most flattering colour to wear but if you pick the right pair for your shape, they can look incredible – whatever your shape or size.

I just need to find a pair made of cat proof, make up and coffee resistant fabric….

Easter gifts for Foodies

Easter gifts for foodies

I’m one of those few rare people who don’t like Easter Eggs and never really have so I always seem to get a small gift instead.

Foodies are easy people to buy for: they’re happiest in the kitchen and are satisfied with perusing a menu or flipping through a recipe book. However, foodies – due the amount of time they spend beside the cooker – tend to have all the vital equipment they need.

Kitchenware and crockery isn’t the smartest gift idea as they’ll likely own everything they could ever need! And, unless they’re being served something they’ve never heard of, it’s probably no use taking them out for dinner. So, if you want to nail the perfect present for your foodie friend, check out these five fantastic ideas…

Beautiful Winter Weddings

Beautiful Winter Weddings

I got married at the end of October. Yes, Spring and Summer weddings are pretty and warm and sunny but we both agreed that they sounded like hell. No one wants to sweat to death in a posh frock or suit all day or squint in to the camera for the photos – no, not our thing! Hurrah for Winter Weddings!

We got married in a castle and we think it perfectly suited the wintery weather as it meant we could decorate with beautiful church candles and the whole day felt cosy and so pretty. Even if I could get married again, it would still be in the colder months. Flying the flag for off-season nuptials, I have 3 stunning winter weddings to show you.
