I have done a complete 180° from when I started planning my wedding until now. Originally I planned on just ordering our invitations from an online site for as cheap as possible but then I met my wedding planner and she introduced me to Half Moon Lettering in Houston, TX. So the question is, how important are these details? I’ve concluded, for me, very important. It sets the theme of your wedding, in a sense it becomes your brand for not only the wedding but for everything wedding related afterwards. The invitations tell the guests exactly what kind of wedding they are about to attend. So from the moment they open the invitation to when they walk into the reception, there is a consistent flow. I haven’t picked out all of my little details and invitations yet but take a look at some that are in the running! What are some little things you splurged on for your wedding?

I can hardly believe it, in 76 days I’ll be married! Which probably means I should actually start planning this shindig. Most of the people I know started planning their weddings from the minute they got engaged. Me on the other hand… I’m waiting until 2 months before. Oops! Life has just been too hectic but thanks to the wedding planner I have, things are starting to come together! So get ready for a lot of wedding blogs! I’ll tell you guys about what I’m doing to prepare and some of the things I have in mind for our big day! And I would love to hear about your experiences too – whether you are already married, or like me you are planning your big day! Maybe some of your ideas will prove really helpful as I build towards mine (and feel free to steal some of my inspirations for your day too!) I was planning on going light on flowers but after meeting with a florist, that totally changed! Check out some of the gorgeous floral looks that inspired me! SaveSave SaveSave
So I have a new obsession. Personally I used to hate these but have recently found a new appreciation for one of the strangest drinks there is, the Bloody Mary! I don’t know what it is lately but I just can’t get enough of them. I can happily even drink them even without the vodka. I’ve recently gone on a search for the best pre-made mix and I’ve found a winner. I love this so much that I brought a bottle to the UK while I’m here working. The winner, hands down, is Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix Unfortunately Zing Zang can only be purchased in North America but I have a solution for all of you other folk, keep reading! I like to think that I’m being healthy as well because Bloody Mary’s have lots of good things in them as well (not necessarily the american style ones topped with burgers and such). According to Spoon University, tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, which is supposed to lower the risk of disease and it’s also great for adding a bit of protection to your skin. It helps aid in digestion and it’s a great hangover cure thanks to the combo of acidic […]

Body glitter, fringes and flower crowns can only mean one thing, it’s festival season! I absolutely love some of the looks people come up with during this time of year so I headed to the shops (and online shops) to come up with my own.

Buy the look: Amazon – Hibluco Oversized Kimono Torrid – ‘Hopeless Dreamer’ Tank (Vest) Top Torrid – Boyfriend Bermuda Shorts Vince Camuto – Valamie Wedge Sandals Headband – Gold Headband with Leaf Chain Fringe (similar to pictured) Kendra Scott – Rayne Necklace
I had long accepted my role as “the single girl” over the last few years (and when I say few… I mean a lot!) In fact, I quite liked it to be honest. I was really good at distracting myself with my career and putting other things first so it was rare that I felt lonely, even with all of the travelling I do! In a very unexpected turn of events, someone came into my life and completely shook it up, but in a good way. For the first time, in a long time, I was pursued by someone. Ladies, you know how it is, sometimes it feels like we are doing all the chasing when in actuality we just want someone to chase us. Well that happened for me! Now, months and months down the line, I’m engaged! The forever single girl is single no more. I’m absolutely loving every minute of this process as well. So get ready for lots of wedding posts! I’m having a crazy short engagement and between releasing an album, doing festivals in the UK and a tour this Autumn, I’m also planning a December 2017 wedding!?! I’m not sure I thought things through […]

Thinking ahead to warmer weather for many of us, this is the perfect cocktail to get you in the mood or spring. I’m a huge fan of white wine sangria and this is one of my favorite recipes! Check it out here…
I have never understood why so many active wear clothing companies ignore the plus size community, so I’m thrilled to see Nike pioneering the movement. You can check out the full collection here, but first here are a few of my favorite pieces… Nike are not just great for active wear, they have some great leisurewear too – as modelled here by my fellow blogger friend, Danielle Vanier. I absolutely love that Nike has not only used gorgeous plus size models but influential bloggers as well! Sometimes its best to keep your style simple. I love how you can go straight from the gym to the high street in this head to toe Nike look. Dani is bringing it again! I don’t know about you, but I would definitely like to rock this look during my Zumba class! The new collection is more than black leggings and tops. There are great sports bras to support the girls and lots of colors to choose from when it comes to putting together your workout look. So hit the gym in style, ladies! Rock those curves while keeping it healthy!
