A Day at the Opera (Cake)
Did someone say cake? Part 2 If you know me, you’ll know that I am what I call a cake enthusiast… Or y’know a person who just flippin’ loves cake but thinks she deserves a fancier title (is it just me that thinks Miranda Hart would strongly approve of that statement?) Whenever it comes…

NYCC, Mr Lee & Me
If you know me and my penchant for all things nerdy, then you’ll know going to comic conventions is the epitome of what I’d call heaven. Going to New York is also my idea of heaven and my partner knows this all too well. So imagine my sheer delight when he contacts me at work…

It’s Personal!
Hello my lovelies! As I sit here mulling over Beyoncé’s Homecoming on Netflix (which is pretty incredible if you’ve not seen it yet) with a cup of tea in hand; I’m in awe of how far this fantastical lady has come in her career and also her style. To put it simply she’s a powerhouse.…

Eating from my favourite takeout place and spending time organising…

Can I have a cup of Anxietea please?
My lovelies I have something to tell you! In a mere few months I’ll be going on an adventure, doing something I’ve never done before and possibly overcoming a fear at the same time. I’ll be venturing on a cruise! Sounds exciting right? You’d think so, but here’s the thing… I actually have a…

Mary Mary Quant Contrary
If you know me you’ll know I’m obsessed (LITERALLY OBSESSED) with fashion. More specifically fashion from the 1950’s and 60’s. Flowing skirts aplenty, gorgeous tailoring, pinafores and polka dots. Oh my goodness. I’m going to have to stop right there and have a sit down. The ‘Mad Men’ fangirl within me can’t cope right now…
