Mad About: Polka Dots

I simply adore polka dots; they are just so fun and whimsical. It was hard for me to resist these accessories - divine!

A Moment In Style: 1960's Fashion

It is ridiculous how much I adore 1960s fashion; with the era being being famous for big hair, uber defined waists, bless, this style suits me!

Looking back it's amazing how significant the 1960s were in terms of fashion - this was the decade where bikinis first became popular; the mini-skirt was invented (!); psychedelic prints were the norm and Mod culture was born. With style icons like the glamorous Jacqueline Kennedy reigning supreme during the 1960s it is no wonder this decade has been so influential on fashion, and I am sure will be for many years to come.

Do tell me which your favourite fashion moment of the 1960s was; mine definitely has to be the early part of the decade where big skirts with defined waists were all the rage.

 Enjoy this little step back in time!

Wedding Inspiration: Candy Bars

The great thing about not being the first of your friends to get married is that they can tell you brilliant ideas for your own wedding that you never would otherwise have considered. So thank you Riss, for letting me know about the fabulous idea of a wedding candy bar.

Now as our wedding edges closer, apart from actually getting married the candy bar is one element of our wedding I am most excited about seeing come to fruition.

We hope it will inject some fun into the day and that people spoil themselves with lots of yummy sweets! To get inspiration for our perfect candy bar look, I have been looking at lots of different styles and thought I would share my favourites with you. I will post pics after the wedding but in the meantime, enjoy these!
