The £4.99 Vintage Style Bowling Shoe

February 16, 2015

I come bearing good news (for me at least!)  My laptop isn't completely dead, it was a pretty quick and not totally expensive fix (I actually offered to kiss the woman in the Mac store) but I've been away over the weekend and I have a lot of catching up to do, so today's post is going to be a quick one.I really just wanted to share with you this amazing find. A couple of weeks ago I was browsing eBay when I came across these replica vintage bowling shoes for the crazy low price of £4.99! READ the POST

Push the Trashcan, Oh How You Are Missed!

February 10, 2015

Source There should be an award for the most obscure blog titles, this has gone to be worth at least an honourable mention. You know your a truly insane Disney World fangirl/boy when: You have a photo/video of yourself with a normal looking trashcan. You know him (yes it's a him) by name, it's Push of course! You have stood in a crowd in the middle of Disney World, just to stare at the said trash can. You're British and you're saying trash can rather than bin. READ the POST

January Reads 2015

February 9, 2015

Before I start this post you will have to allow me a bit of sobbing time.  My beloved MacBook pro has gone to laptop heaven.  I am genuinely really upset, it's amazing how attached you can be to something you use everyday and sleep next to every night (hey don't judge me!).  On Thursday night I was just settling down to write a post I was really excited about when my laptop went completely  black, then my charger died.  Tears may have happened, it's not just the laptop READ the POST

Valentine’s Day Gift from Typography of Love

February 5, 2015

Now I am not normally a Valentine's Day kind of girl, it often seems a little manufactured to me and the idea of being made to go to a restaurant full of couples not speaking to each other is my idea of hell.  However, I am feeling super loved up at the moment, irregardless of the time of year, so I'm afraid you will have to put up with some soppiness for one post. Simply put, my boyfriend is amazing.  He's super supportive of everything I do and tries his best to build up my confidence READ the POST

Vintage styling on the high street

February 4, 2015

Now, as much as I adore true vintage, it's not always the best or most practical for everyday wear.  I also love reproduction vintage, but unfortunately these often aren't the cheapest options.  If you look to the high street you can often be surprised at what you can pick up, there's usually a few key pieces you can put together to create something really beautiful; a great match between vintage and modern.  I've been hunting online and here's what I've come up with that's stylish and budget READ the POST

Booking a food tour with Get Your Guide is quickly becoming a staple of my trips!  I love that I can get so many local foods tried as well as learning about the history and culture and the food is always excellent.  It’s especially great when I’m doing a city break and short on time!  Let me know your Italian faves!
