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

BLOGMAS day 21: The cosiest hand-made scarf of dreams
I've been so warm this winter that I often walk about with my coat undone! However my neck has been cold, and at the risk of catching the Christmas lurgy I decided that getting a cosy scarf could be the best thing. This beauty has been hand made by Flying Fox, aka by clever friend Suzy… Continue reading BLOGMAS day 21: The cosiest hand-made scarf of dreams
BLOGMAS day 8: Subtle festive fashion touches
Myth buster- You don't have to wear an outlandish outfit to prove you're not a Grinch! Being festive is about finding your own holiday traditions that make you happy and excited, and I say it's kinda nice to have a bit of festive wear tucked away under your trousers/boots that only you know about. Someone… Continue reading BLOGMAS day 8: Subtle festive fashion touches
FASHION/ Jenny Chat 2.0
My friend Pippa recently put a call out on Facebook - she's expanding her photography/design business and was looking for people to help build up her portfolio. I got it touch and said "you can shoot some stuff for my blog, if you like" and she said "yeah, that sounds great." Oh crap. I've… Continue reading FASHION/ Jenny Chat 2.0

FASHION/ My style evolution: 1999 – present
I've enjoyed these posts that have been doing the rounds lately, so thought doing my own would be a great way to look back on the past 18years (eek!) to see what has changed and what I still like. When I think back through my childhood, I probably could have started this post much earlier… Continue reading FASHION/ My style evolution: 1999 – present
2017 Week 2- developing a plan to take over the world, one post at a time…and an OOTD fail (kinda)
I decided to try and tackle my lack of confidence and blogging mojo this week, for which I turned to Courtney. As you may have read in some of posts in 2016, Courtney and I founded the Hull Foodie project as an offshoot of the Hull Bloggers collective that we're both actively involved in. We've really enjoyed what we've… Continue reading 2017 Week 2- developing a plan to take over the world, one post at a time…and an OOTD fail (kinda)
