I first saw Sex and the City when I was about 18, and last year I made a pilgrimage to Carrie Bradshaw's famous stoop whilst on holiday in New York City. Even at the age of 34, 16 years later, I was beyond excited to pay it a visit. Although I'm asking this question as… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ 20 years since Sex and the City: how relevant is it today?

FASHION/ Love and rainbows
This entire setup is giving all the #pride feels but I swear it's pure coincidence that this is Pride month...no seriously, I'm not clever enough to plan it! If any tee was ever begging for a back shot, it was this one! I hadn't actually realised it had the lips on when I picked it… Continue reading FASHION/ Love and rainbows
FASHION, BEAUTY & LIFESTLYE/ My birthday wish list (2018)
It's almost that time of year again....I really like birthdays, but this year I'm feel a bit oversensitive about getting older. Ugh. So I've put together a few things I've had my eye on lately, hopefully one or two of them will end up in my hot little hands come 21 June! 1. Oliver Bonas… Continue reading FASHION, BEAUTY & LIFESTLYE/ My birthday wish list (2018)
FASHION/ Cute but savage (but cute)
Another day, another sassy slogan tee...how do they all manage to sum me up in very different ways?!? I feel that people often presume I'm more on the 'cute' side - friendly, agreeable, just kind of there to do whatever when asked. However, there's definitely a 'savage' side that comes out to play when needed… Continue reading FASHION/ Cute but savage (but cute)
FASHION / The Met Gala 2018 looks that had me shook
I may be deep into house move mode (quick update: we're in but are largely surrounded by mountains of unpacked boxes containing items we haven't seen in almost a year and probably forgot we had) but I couldn't let the #MetGala2018 go by without having a good ol' nosey at what everyone was wearing could… Continue reading FASHION / The Met Gala 2018 looks that had me shook
FASHION/ You can leave your hat on
If you're British, the title of this post is likely going to a) remind you of The Full Monty and b) make you want to sing the song, no matter where you are... I say sing out loud 'n proud like nobody's listening! Anyway, moving on to all things fashion. I saw this blazer on… Continue reading FASHION/ You can leave your hat on
FASHION / Thank you my love
One chilly (and ever so slightly snowy) afternoon, a group of Hull Bloggers gathered to eat, drink, chat, coo over baby Jasper (Violet's adorable bubba) and snap some pics... I learnt during this time that I can also do two other facial expressions as a variation to my usual RBF - the 'I look innocent… Continue reading FASHION / Thank you my love
FASHION / Oh hey there Mrs
On this day 8 years ago, I became Mrs Barrett. It was the start of a new chapter that has brought challenges, support, a lot of happiness and 'laugh until you can hardly breathe' moments, and I wouldn't swap my Mr for the world. Ultra soppy but very true - he's got 99 problems and… Continue reading FASHION / Oh hey there Mrs
FASHION/ I did a Fearless clothing haul from an Instagram ad (March 2018)
We all get those pesky Instagram ads - between suggesting what I should I buy and who else I should follow, I barely see any of the people/ brands I've actually chosen to have on my feed! But how well does Instagram think it really knows me and my taste in fashion? I decided to… Continue reading FASHION/ I did a Fearless clothing haul from an Instagram ad (March 2018)
FASHION / Fashion Favourites – February 2018
There's a definite colour scheme among my favourites this month! Completely by accident, but it all seems to work pretty well together. 1. Beret, Topshop Not gonna lie - originally I bought this to annoy the Mr, who thinks they look stupid. I, on the other hand, think they're cute and chic AF (I also… Continue reading FASHION / Fashion Favourites – February 2018
