5 things... I've discovered since I've been broke...

As I am weening myself off my recent Magic Money addiction things at the moment are a little tight. I’m having to give up my days in coffee shops for days in the flat that nobody lovves, and night out are sober and in a recycled outfit. But it isn’t all doom gloom, in fact here are 5 things I am enjoying about being skint… Continue reading →

what I learnt from an hour with Kanye West...

Last night I did something I never thought I would do… I sat for a whole hour and listened to Kanye West…rant. Continue reading →

it's tights season!

Tights, you either love them or hate them.

Personally I adore them. I very VERY rarely wear jeans or trousers so come winter, tights are mine and my otherwise cold bottom’s best friend. Yes they can role down or ladder easily but they can also make a simple outfit a great one!  And seen as I am RIDICULOUSLY broke this season I will be reinventing my outfits with the smaller touches! Here are just a few pictures I am using for inspiration.  Continue reading →

I have no idea what is cool anymore...

I live in Manchester’s very hipster Northern Quarter, on a daily basis I am reminded how not cool I am. And by not cool, I don’t mean I’m not cool in the ironically-not-cool-so-actually-cool kind of way. Just point blank not cool. These days I have no idea what is cool and what isn’t, but to be honest I’m not sure anybody does. So I’ve come up with a list of 10 things that by all rights should not be cool, but well, they just are… (I think)

50 states of grey...

After possibly the girliest day I have ever had at the Spa on Friday, last night came something entirely different.

Lads night out. Continue reading →

magic money...

After posting yesterday about how relaxed and zen like I felt from taking a spa day, well, that lasted all of 5 hours.

finding the zen...

I am a stress head, if you are a regular reader, this won’t come as all that big of a shock to you.

A friend of mine once asked if I ever just sat and stopped thinking?

No, no I don’t, I didn’t even know that was possible. Continue reading →

another day, another tea...

Last night it was time for a little life administration, a phrase coined by marvellously organised friend Hannah! Continue reading →

Ally Mcbeal is one of my best friends...

This next post is not going to be ground breaking. This next post is going to be about Ally McBeal. Continue reading →

product love...

I won’t pretend to be an expert when it comes to make up! Honestly most of the time I haven’t got a clue what I am doing! I have a few tricks that work for me and I tend to stick to them!  Continue reading →

there's something in the air...

I returned to Manchester yesterday to find winter. People in woolly jumpers, hiding from the rain, running to meet one another.

There was also an energy in the air.

An energy which is making me and so many of my friends think of cosy nights in, of wearing somebody else’s woollen jumper. And probably of fireworks. Continue reading →

tea with gorillas...

Gorilla in Manchester is quickly becoming one of my favourite haunts for food, and I love that it takes me out of my usual neighbourhood, the Northern Quarter. It’s a pretty trendy bar and if I was a little cooler I’d probably spend my weekends there listening to bands. But as it is I am more interested in tea. Continue reading →

it's not a race but...

If it was my little sister is winning…

4 years has always felt like just the right amount of time between me and my little sister.

It’s a big enough gap to mean, we were never into or experiencing the same things at the same time, and besides, we were and still are pretty different any way. Continue reading →

the life project week 5: a little bit of excitement goes a long way...

A lot of exciting things have happened this summer, and now September is here, it would be easy to quickly become nostalgic about the longer nights, the extra glasses of cider and the tan lines (sun burn marks) but really it's just the beginning...
