...well, not literally right now. But here are some of the things I've been listening to over the last few months. I find listening to the radio comforting; I like having noise around the place, and it's like a stress-free conversation, as there's absolutely no pressure for me to hold up one end of… Continue reading What I’m listening to right now

H is for Hair Flowers & Happy Times: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
I am properly obsessed with hair flowers. I love them - they're a mega-easy way to accessorise an outfit, and can even bring a bit of summer sunshine to a dreary, drizzly November morning. Such is my obsession that when I went for my first job interview at where I now work, a friend whose… Continue reading H is for Hair Flowers & Happy Times: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
G is for Golly, Gosh: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
First things first, dear readers - there are only a couple of weeks left in the Miss Vintage UK 2016 public vote, and, having entered, I would dearly love to get in front of the judges. To do that, I need votes, by which I mean likes on my Facebook entry. If you have a… Continue reading G is for Golly, Gosh: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
F is for Friends: A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world
I would like to start this post with a heartfelt apology. I work with lots of lovely people, who are wonderfully supportive of this blog, and the things I do in my spare time. One of them even helpfully brainstormed potential topics for the letter 'E' last week, including elegance. While it wasn't my intention,… Continue reading F is for Friends: A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world
C is for Cahoots and Car Boots – the A to Z of a vintage girl in a modern world
This weekend, several rather exciting things have happened. On Friday, I saw some lovely chums who I haven't seen since I left my job, and had the most amazing ribs (if you're near to Hitchin, I'd definitely recommend them, and the restaurant they come from, Hermitage Road). As I left, one of the waitresses told… Continue reading C is for Cahoots and Car Boots – the A to Z of a vintage girl in a modern world
Talking body positivity with Miss Evelyn-Jo – 6 weeks to go
Happy New Year everyone! Now that the festive season is well and truly over, it’s time for the annual onslaught of ads telling us that it’s time to lose weight, which will automatically solve all our problems and make us better people. It’s even worse if you’re getting married. I follow a few different wedding… Continue reading Talking body positivity with Miss Evelyn-Jo – 6 weeks to go
But, on another note – 15 weeks to go
It's come to my attention that all I talk about at the moment is our wedding. I don't want to be that bride (even on what is, technically, a wedding blog), so this week, I thought I'd take a break and talk about a few of the other things I've been up to, in between… Continue reading But, on another note – 15 weeks to go
What to do during the reception changeover? – 32 weeks to go
This week, we have our site visit planned, and my list of questions for the nice people at Duxford is getting longer by the day. Particularly as thanks to Pinterest and the excited posts of friends during wedding season (which is well and truly upon us, if my Facebook timeline is anything to go by),… Continue reading What to do during the reception changeover? – 32 weeks to go
Nostalgia! – 34 weeks to go
I had big plans for the blog this week - I was going to talk all about our wedding venue site visit, the plans for room dressing, cake flavours...oh, it was going to be fun. Except our coordinator is sick, so the site visit didn't happen. The Boy sensed a hissy fit coming, so very… Continue reading Nostalgia! – 34 weeks to go
Why turning 30 isn’t so bad after all (non-wedding post) – 35 weeks to go
This week, The Boy is away for work, and as I mentioned in my last post, we're not planning any weddings until both our birthdays are out of the way. My birthday is on Wednesday, and as such, I have almost nothing to share in the way of wedding news. Except that we have arranged… Continue reading Why turning 30 isn’t so bad after all (non-wedding post) – 35 weeks to go
