things on net-a-porter

i thought after my last post that i might have a little look to see if there were anymore delights in the world of internet this evening...and there were! Whoop!









On another note which I forgot to mention earlier - I am growing some lovely flowers in my front garden and they are about to flower when I do I'll post em up! Peonies and Ranunculus...! YUM!

hey-yo... its been a while

I quit my job! Yippee! I am doing things all by my self and I am excited at the prospect... I'll keep you posted...

In the mean time we are cutting back on our New York wedding because I think it was getting away from us - we always wanted simple and suddenly it got way too much, we want a super sonic quick reception and then some really good food and a few cocktails, why have all the rest of the fuss eh?

But one thing I don't really want to compromise on is my shoes!

First are from Tatty Devine - absolute stunners and only £120 bucks? Think they'd look lush with a beige cocktail dress...

Second are from the powerhouse Chanel... these are amazing. I want them so bad I might sell a kidney.

 I'll try to do this a bit more often, if nothing else its mega theraputic!

where the hell have I been?

No where. I just can't be bothered with the blog atm. Its not as rewarding and forfilling as I had hoped... plus its not even like I ever really thought it would get read, but writing to yourself is a bit lonely. Its not like I could ever finish anything anyways. Self loathing aside:

Wedding is now in New York. End of. I am not changing my mind again. I always wanted a 'destination' wedding (in quotes cause I hate that fucking word) so we're doing it. And we thought lets go somewhere we really want to go - et voila New York. I have decided on the 'theme' (see 'destination') and with a little help from the new girl at my work I am a bit excited about it. I won't go into details. Its a suprise.

Also doing a side project. Pretty sure that anyone who becomes a bride decides they can be an event planner but fuck it. Its my life I can do what I want. So event design, paper based. Taking off sometime soon.

hey zeus i am in a bad mood today. grrr.

new york - new york!

God I knew I was indecisive but this takes the fucking biscuit. I guess the deal with not having to make any plans in any great hurry means we have too much time to think and re think and change and re change the ideas, so cornwall is gone, adios kent, see ya laters uk, how about new york?

Found a place the Gramercy Park Hotel, NY - where I would love to get married - bet its mega bucks but look how awesome it is!

oh and also...

I read regretsy and cake wrecks almost every day because they are fucking hilarious, if you haven't seen them yet you should. When I stumbled upon cake wrecks a month or so ago I sat all evening going through every post and I literally was in tears for the whole evening. At one point I was laughing so much I fell of the sofa. I am not shitting you. I had a bruise on my leg that looked a bit like Italy.

enjoy.

I have a reader! And a Barbie...!

I have had news that someone reads my blog! I was about to give the whole bloody thing up because I don't seem to have the time but it gets read to fuck it - I'm keeping going. (just noticed I had a comment also from the fabulous brilliant  East Side Bride - it was from months ago but was nice to know I have had visitors!

Re: the wedding... We have so so so far to go before we even have to think about venues and whatever but I can't help it - I get wound up about things and I need to think this far in advance and get worked up about it or else my mind would literally melt... (or so I am led to believe) but Lighthouse in Kent? Windmill in Norfolk? Barn in Cornwall? Or a foreign land? Which one will win!

Also - check out what T let me buy on Friday - it was waaaay too much money but we decided in Northumberland to collect toys and books so it was a sensible purchase really!
