On our first day in Rome we decided to jump right in to tourist central and check out the Pantheon and Colosseum. Our hotel was a short stroll, passed the unfortunately still under construction Trevi Fountain, to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is quite simply stunning. The columned entrance is only a start; the opened domed ceiling, ornate detailing and tiled floors are a must see. … Continue reading When In Rome
Seems like I was talking complete rubbish on Friday when I said those were the only outfit photos I convinced the man to take. I don’t know how I forgot about the couple of balcony photo shoots we had, the bottles of prosecco I drank most afternoons maybe? I bought these trousers on a whim in the ASOS winter sale. I loved the colour but … Continue reading Roman Holiday
During our little Italian adventure we each had something we were looking forward to more than anything else, for me it was the Opera. For the man, in stereotypical man fashion, cars. Not just any cars though, Ferrari’s. Lucky for me I have a little penchant for a fast car too. Ferrari was born in Maranello which is only an hour from Bologna. We got … Continue reading Fast Car
I was in two minds whether to write up this post. We arrived in Bologna around 3pm and starving. After checking into the hotel food was a priority and of course I opted for the towns namesake Bolongese. A massive bowl of pasta, with Brushetta to start, is not the best choice pre photo shoot though. As a result I hated pretty much all the … Continue reading One Day in Bologna

Today it’s all about the … Continue reading Pack Up Your Troubles
Last week I asked for some holiday nail inspiration. A few of you came back voting for glitter, though when I floated this idea with some of my friends one described them as Eurotrash. Not really the look I was going for, fingers crossed they’re a bit classier than that. I’ll admit these were a bit of a nightmare, glitter always gets everywhere and is … Continue reading Eurotrash Nails

I’m back, not so fresh from a long girly weekend in Marbella. Last week I showed of my sunshine holiday toe nails and today I planned to show off my sunshine holiday finger nails. One problem, they didn’t quite survive the sunshine, sea, sand and shots. I had this plan for simple nude nails with summery spotty pattern, problem I don’t have a nude shellac and … Continue reading Sunshine and Spots
Today I’m off on my first girly holiday for my soon to be sister-in-laws hen weekend. 15 girls living it up in Marbella, what’s not to love! The flight is always hit and miss for me I love flying but being 5ft 10 it’s always an uncomfortable few hours when cramped in budget airline seat. I need extra extra leg room. Picking a comfortable outfit … Continue reading Leaving on a Jet Plane – Travel Tips
