The infamous red sole


I find myself constantly browsing the Internet window shopping the louboutin website.
I think every girl needs a classic pair of black louboutins in their wardrobe

For those of you with a love for those beautiful red soles...

There is currently a museum up in London with all the work of Christian Louboutin that I am taking my mum to in a few weeks.
The tickets are £10 which sadly doesn't include a free pair of shoes, but if you are a shoe lover like me, it looks amazing.

Time capsule

Every year around about the same date and month, 3 of my friends and me reunite for our time capsule ceremony... when I say ceremony, I mean a few bottles of wine and a good laugh.

As a group of girls who have been close for the last 7-8 years, we have seen each others lives unveil, develop and change dramatically. 

Sometime a few months will go past without seeing each other, yet when we do meet up, we always have a good catch up and laugh like it was only yesterday that we last spoke.


We first made our time capsule in the summer of 2009 sitting in the garden on a beautiful afternoon. One of my friends had just got back from a few months abroad, it was before we all headed to uni and we all believed our life revolved around the boyfriends we were with at that current moment in time (it is safe to say that those relationships lasted long!!!)

We thought this time capsule idea would be a good way to see how dramatically our lives change from year to year.

Some of the goals we have set each other have included- BE SINGLE. get over your ex, move on, have an open relationship and not jump from relationship to relationship.
Other goals have been career driven and uni orientated.

So far we all have managed to achieve all set goals!!


This year really proved to me just how much we really have grown up in the last few years.
In the next 12 month, 2 of us saw ourselves getting engaged and 2 goals involved living with boyfriends. 

I love the career driven and loving women my friends have become. 
It just opened my eyes to how much we have changed over the years....

Jubilee pavlova

To celebrate this bank holiday jubilee weekend I have made a patriotic pavlova.

All you will need for this piece of art is:
4 egg, 225g caster sugar, 1 teaspoon corn flour, 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar, few drops of vanilla essence. Then double cream and icing sugar and fruit of your choice. 


Go creative with the fruit on top and enjoy your long weekend.
