July in Photographs

Just a short sweet extra post for you all. As its now August, (oh christ im having a baby in 2 months!) I thought I would have a nice little round up of July in pictures for you. Along the top of this collage is from when we went to Sonisphere festival at the start of July. So much fun and I believe when most of the very good weather started! Then we moved into our new house so there is the baby's nursery getting more and more ready for his arrival. The middle is a quick 'selfie' I took before a friends wedding that we also attended this month. I also could not leave out my gorgeous kitty!

Back to the left was probably the worst night of the whole of July, on the way back from sonisphere and at 4 in the morning or so we had to make an emergency stop at Addenbrooks hospital in Cambridge, as brads foot had swelled ridiculously, and he was in sooo much pain. We eventually got home at 7 am, after no sleep and 3 hours in A&E. 

Then there's my niece on a donkey ride at the carnival held in the town I grew up in recently.

Along the bottom, the first roast dinner I made in this house/have ever made by myself (no motherly intervention here!) 

Then brad and I went to feed the ducks and geese down the local park and I snapped this little picture of him doing that. And finally another cheeky 'selfie' after I had dyed my hair again!! 

What were your highlights of July? let me know. 

Also don't forget to follow me on my twitter and instagram for more pictures!! (links below)

Whats in my bag??

I feel like I do not actually keep that much in my bag, and I am always forgetting my sunglasses anyway. But my absolute staples are definitely my iPhone 5c, my beautiful Chanel purse that I got for my 18 th birthday (that was a long time ago now) and generally my house keys (which are currently in the door of my house). Since I have been pregnant I always have a bottle of water on me, being hydrated is essential now, I even have it by my bed at night, despite the amount of times I know I will have to get up and wee in the night now! I got the gorgeous owl compact mirror from my fiancées parents as a gift for something a couple of years ago. its so handy, especially as I have been obsessed with the Revlon colour burst Lacquer balm at the moment, makes reapplying easy peasy! I have a notebook because well you never know! plus I picked it up the other day from paper chase and I actually love it. 

I always have headphones in my bag, generally because you never know, and there are times when I get sick of my fiancées music in the car (always the same cd's!!) so I can just tune into my own little world especially as we always seem to take such long journeys!

I have actually had this bag just over a year (christ is that too long, should I update now? have I done a fashion crime??) I actually love this though, I got it from Primark in Bristol, bargain and practical. Its huge and fits everything and more into it. meaning that when brad and I were travelling a lot last year it could literally fit everything I needed in it (spare underwear anyone?) I also loved the design, its very 'me', and well its still going strong, no rips tears or any sign or over usage as yet! maybe I should look into a new bag though! 

What do you keep in your bag? do you have more stuff than me? less stuff? anything completely different and out there? anything I should start keeping in my bag? let me know.

My Tattoos

I am a lover of tattoos. Phew, that's out there. I have 7 tattoos myself, much to my mothers dismay. (she cant talk though she has 2!) I am quite particular in what I will have on my body and by who, as I believe most people are. I am also particular in volume of tattoos. some girls that get covered just don't manage to retain their 'girly-ness' although maybe they wanted to loose it but for me its a no no. Anyway I am just going to show you a few of my tattoos, mainly because I cannot get pictures of the ones on my back alone!

















I got my first tattoo at 18 (the one on the right), when I was young naive and had first moved away from my parents to university. I saw a lovely swallow on sienna millers arm which I loved, so I wanted something similar. To be honest the work was shoddy and by the time I was 20 I disliked it. in steps my old school friend, training to be a tattooist so I let him do his magic, and he filled it in and added the other birds (there is three extra after the original). these go round my wrist and I always get people comment on them saying how much they love them! My friend did all his work in dot work then and was one of the first and I would say is the most exciting dot work tattooist in Norwich at the moment. (search WhitingTattoos on instagram for more of his work!)

This tattoo is probably my favourite out of all 7 of mine. I love owls (see my New house tour post) when I turned 20 I decided I wanted something new on my right arm. and this was it. my tattoo artist was brilliant and made me instantly comfortable (I actually got most of my tattoos done with him) I honestly love this completely everything from the design to the shading. 

I would say that with my first tattoo I felt like I jumped in too soon. I wish now I had spent a bit longer deciding on what I would have liked on my permanently on my body. To people thinking about getting one, find a design/picture and put it as your laptop background for at least 6 months to see if you get bored of it. it is not a light decision. I have not had any  more tattoos for a good few years now, maybe due to living abroad or having other more important things to spend my money on (tattoos are not cheap!!). I am not opposed to getting any more now I just would like to spend a bit more time thinking about them!

Do any of you have tattoos? have you had any particular experiences of tattoos?
