10 Things I learned before 2020…

My social media was inundated with throwbacks on New Year’s Eve. There were the ten-year comparisons, which contained everything from horrendous haircuts to declarations of personal growth. Then there were the top 9 highlights of 2019. Candid looks, the occasional engagement ring, festival fields, and a few bare butts. I love any excuse to scroll…

GLASTONBABY 2017

Whether you've been getting glittered up or just glued to the coverage over the last weekend, Glastonbury fever took over. Aaahh freak out!  GLASTONBURY Le freak, c'est Chic.  The weather was hot and the music was on fire! I thought my eyes had fallen out of my head, but no - it was just Katy Perry's eyeball…

the ultimate festival wardrobe

**BEWARE CONTAINS SH**LOADS OF SEQUINS.** **MAY CAUSE EXTREME SPLURGING..** The excitement is reaching crazy-take-me-to-disneyland-like-levels-for Glastonbury next week. I've downloaded the EE line-up app, compared my line up to my pals, and been mind-blown by the amount of music choices to make. Rewind back to 2008: my first & last time at Glasto. I was smug AF…

Wembley Wembley Wembley

Do ya do ya do do ya yaaaaaa! Oh woh oh wohh oh wooohhhhh! (I saw Ricky from Kaiser Chiefs sat a few seats down from me..) It made up for my lack of football chants. Bank holiday Sunday - Monday was amazing – I won a competition to spend a night in the Hilton…

BOHO MEET BIKER

BYKER GROVE - YEAH HA-HA HA-HA ha-ha. A post-newsround guilty pleasure, byker grove was a staple of my early TV addictions, along with the Queen's nose, Bernard's watch, and my parents are aliens. Head to to ankle -H&M Sandals -Topshop   

Oliver Bonas – Manchester store

Is literally giving me a bonas. I want to own everything in there. In fact, I've probably spent enough time in there to qualify for squatter's rights. So it may officially be my new home... TO THE WINDOWS TO THE WALLS  It's a great place for cards - Scribber & Waterstones are usually my go-to,…

#RAISEABROW

'Bold is Beautiful - EMPOWERING BIG DREAMS AND BOLD MOVES' LAST friday, walking around Manchester, super smug to be out of work for good friday - I found an all pink-errrythang store of dreams. Like the spice girls on steroids, it was girl power to the max. The music was blasting out, with neon pink…

Ladies Day at Aintree 2017

Ladies’ Day. I wasn't sure what to expect, except for a lot of fun, which is always guaranteed with my ex-work-wife-Jess. If our previous antics were anything to go by, it was probably going to involve alcohol, the occasional shot in an egg cup, and some hula hooping. If we could manage any of that…

KILLER KILO SALE

TAKE ME TO CHURCH... ..the Leeds Holy Trinity church on boar lane to be exact. This was the unexpected venue for the vintage kilo sale last Saturday,where it can be found every month. A church full of clothes and retro music in my kinda service. I wasn't expecting to find it right in the centre of Leeds, but the stock…
