My Good Friend, the Midnight Oil

Yes, it's exam season, hence the late night posting and absence of late. There's not much to say really as my life currently consists of an impossible amount of dull revision. As a result I am try (but failing) to put the wedding planning on pause. Whilst it's a wonderful distraction, it has to be put into context: exams in one week, wedding in one year. There's a clear winner here.

So, whilst all this goes on I may be a bit silent as I'm purposefully restraining anything that's remotely inspiring in favour of hitting the books. What a dull existence. Roll on the end date, holidays, spending time with my other half,  having a life and forgetting all the legal nonsense I've been filling my head with! x

Pale & Interesting

Heaps of revision means...more blogging! Yes, I'm happily avoiding the mundanity of law ('Tracing' today - yawn) and looking up pretty things online. And today's delights come from a lovely little boutique called Pale and Interesting. A place where very simple is very beautiful, this gorgeous site is packed with household must-haves.

Rent Your Rocks Ladies!

Well, the first revision day in my long haul journey towards exam season may have been pretty disastrous, but it hasn't been a complete washout. In fact, I've discovered something that will TRANSFORM my wedding (yay!). Rent Your Rocks is an online treasure trove of glitter, suddenly made accessible.

Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this genius site allows you to hire delectable diamonds for your wedding day that would otherwise be out of reach. So whereas a necklace may have a retail value just short of £4000, it's available to hire for the week of your wedding at a snip for just £250. A-ah-mazing. What's more, there's a specific bridal gallery allowing busy brides to get straight to business. So, red carpet style wedding day jewellery on your wedding day? Check.

Committing to a Sandwich...

Sounds ridiculous, yes I know. But since I've been at law school, something funny has happened to my appetite and for some reason I just never seem to fancy lunch. What I DO fancy however, is coffee, lots of coffee, accompanied by cake. And I'm in the right place. My college is virtually held hostage to gorgeous boutique bakery, Konditor & Cook. I'm surrounded by two branches (ok, so not quite surrounded) and daily spend what little money I have on their coffee and cake. Their brownies are spectacular....and their muffins....mmmmmmm, their muffins. Such a cool, yummy bakery. And a great alternative to a sensible lunch!

Girl Meets Blog

Fabulous. In a very Carrie Bradshaw-esque fashion I feel as though my first blog post should be utterly fabulous. Although, I'm beginning to think the only thing I have in common with Carrie is my technical inability. In fact, I have to concede to only discovering the blogosphere recently; in my former career in PR I happily chatted about the influence of blogs and all these 'citizen journalists blah, blah, blah', without actually realising the inspiration to be found and the fun to be had online. So, after stumbling upon some amazing blogs I have decided to get in on the action. Let me tell you now, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I hope to find out as I go along.

So here's to the first post! Perhaps not as fabulous as I had planned but the first step in my fantasy Jimmy Choos no less.
