  • Pearls & Lipstick

    As I’ve previously mentioned I’m soon to be opening my website, Pearls & Lipstick, where I’ll be selling bags and accessories made by me. With each bag I make I plan on only making a limited number in each design, so people buying the bags can feel they have a unique product.

    A few people have been asking when the site is due to be launched and so I’m putting it out there that I don’t have a set date as of yet but I plan to have it launched sometime in March. Really it’s all down to me and how much stock I get made between now and then! So I’ll keep sewing away as I have been doing to hopefully bring you all some fabulous products soon. (more…)

  • Black Girl with Long Hair

    I often get messages off people asking about my hair care regime and what products I use so it was great when Black Girl with Long Hair asked me to do a feature on their site. Their website is a great way for people of the natural hair community to share and discuss their personal hair tips and ideas.

  • Sunday Pub Grub

    Last night Damien and I went for food at The Strawbury Duck, a country pub and restaurant nestled in the hills. Sunday had been a nice day and the weather had been decent for once, it was nice to go for a country drive and go for some hearty grub with a home cooked feel.

  • Pizza and Wine with the Wife

    I’m a bit miffed as I did do this blog post on Saturday but it appears to have disappeared, which I’m is a bit annoying. But anyway, here it is again….

    On Friday I met up with Beckler (aka The Wife) for a long overdue catch up and we went for pizza and wine.

  • Mother and Daughter day – Museum style

    My mother had booked a day off work today so we took the opportunity to have a Mother daughter day together. Usually our Mother Daughter days consist of shopping and lunch but this time we decided to do something different and go to a museum together instead.

    This was my outfit for today – nothing too exciting as I had a casting midday and its always good to go as a blank canvas (yes I removed the lipstick). Anyway, I wore a black tank top vest, black body-con mini skirt, black tights, the pearls & lipstick clutch bag I made for myself, my black River Island biker jacket and underneath that I worse a lace shall.

  • Chinese, cake and pizza

    Today was all about eating. It hadn’t been the original plan for the day but as it seems to be one of my favourite things to do, I guess I couldn’t complain.

    I met up with my friend Marsha who I haven’t seen since before Christmas. We decided to go for lunch and headed towards China town.
