Bye March, Hey April

I managed to miss a whole month of blogging! That's quite impressive! But its been a ridiculously busy month so I do have an excuse. I'm currently in the midst of dissertation madness with 2 to write before the beginning of May. 12,000 words and 2 lots of research is my life right now. As I sit in the library researching male prostitutes and the female nude (oh art history my internet history is going to be oh so interesting!!) I thought I'd share a few of my Instagram photos from the last month…

Making decorations for the party… so simple and so effective. Pompoms may well be my new therapy!

I finally got to visit the sea life centre… this little beauty was my favourite! Well worth a visit if you're in Brighton.

Sunny mornings heading to work at Bills in Lewes

March was my birthday month and sparkles from mummy are still making me smile now <3 

Uni work, prosecco and blossom on the green at home in the countryside

Party outfit prepping

The garden had a makeover...

And of course the house too!

Macaroon munching… so spoilt by all of my lovely girlies! 

And party posing with my gorgeous housemate. 

My home girlies headed down and we played on the slot machines and ate more cake than should be possible at Blackbird tearooms. 

When all the celebrations were over I enjoyed seeing the blossom burst onto the trees and the flowers on show everywhere. Spring may just be here!

Which of course means a bit of clothes shopping right? 

This is a big deal. My fridge has been empty for weeks and I've been feeling very uninspired with cooking. Fingers crossed an Ocado delivery will help slightly. So. Much. Food. 

And then last week Sarah came to play. We did a trashy club night which was a fundraiser for the American Football boys. Such a fun night as the hangovers the next day only served to remind us!

And the stolen champagne glasses and silk Hermes tie… whoops! 

And now we're here… 

You can follow me on Instagram here for regular updates! <3 

Instagram catchup

This week has been a busy one: a dinner party with good friends, baking incredible fairy cakes (vanilla cream cheese icing with chocolate and ginger nut pieces - serious yum!), prepping for the launch of Promenade magazine and the launch party on Thursday evening, lots of chilled snugly movie nights with the boy, some pottering in the lanes and some work for the Vintage Fair. I though an Instagram catch up was the best way to share it all! 

The aftermath of fairy cakes and dinner!

 

My gorgeous niece, Ona; she really is the chubbiest little beauty!

 

The fash soc girls posing ready for the launch party <3

 

Nat, the amazing lead singer from Gamble Street (blog post to follow!) who performed an incredible set at the Promenade launch party.

 

Issue #3 of Promenade - its fab, read it!

Lazy, hangover days. Some of the best moments are spent with friends still suffering from the night before at 10pm!!

 

Amazing finds in the South Lanes. I head to Rome in a month and these are incredible little snapshots, one of those things that I was just 'meant' to find.

 

Another one of the things I was 'meant' to find. Brighton really does have everything!

 

Jo Malone window display made me smile when I was pottering today :)
