A Sunday Kind of Love: Lara Hannah’s Vintage Inspired Wedding Dresses & Tobi Hannah’s Sharing Secrets 2012 Collections

Kat

November 27, 2011

My friend and designer extraordinaire Tobi Hannah is just about to launch her Lara Hannah 2012 bridal collection and I've got the exclusive first showing of it on my blog. How cool? Although she's become well known for her short wedding dress collections, I am so thrilled that Tobi's also now doing a longer length range under the Lara Hannah name. A "vintage inspired collection for the modern bride" as she puts it. Aren't they stunning?

A Sunday Kind of Love: We’re Going Through Changes…

November 20, 2011

Gareth has been a busy little bee this week. We have some pretty exciting new ideas for the blog (it's just a matter of him now implementing these grand plans, so watch this space over the next few months!) but this week he's been thinking about the bottom of the blog. Scroll down and take a look... Firstly, he's added page numbers for easier archive surfing (which I'm not entirely sure is actually a good thing, most of my early blog posts are SHOCKING!) He's also added social media links (now including Pinterest) to the footer of the blog. We've also added the much overdue subscribe/RSS button. You're welcome. Happy Sunday y'all!

A Sunday Kind of Love: Getting to Know You

Kat

November 13, 2011

The funny thing with the internet is that everyone thinks they know best...all hidden behind their keyboards with their opinions on everything. A lot of people think they know the people they see online better than they actually do. But you know what, most of the people you see online are keeping things secret. Take myself for example, you know I like pink, glitter, kittens, shopping, rainbows...and that I have strong opinions on weddings, but what else do you really know about me? In the spirit of showing you I really am, here's some things you probably have't heard about me before...

A Sunday Kind of Love – Eyelash Extensions with The London Dolls

Kat

August 14, 2011

Eyelashes. If you're anything like me there's like a big fat pair of fluttery falsies worn on a night out to make you feel a million dollars. I'm also one of those people who feels totally naked if I go out without several layers of my 'false lash effect' mascara on. Please tell me I'm not the only weirdo like this? False lashes rock but I'm pretty rubbish at putting them on myself...plus at between £5-£15 a pop they're a pretty expensive habit huh? So when I was invited by Beth of The London Dolls if I'd like to try out her semi-permanent eyelash extensions....well I pretty much jumped at the chance!

This week a lovely package came in the post for me from my friend Christine at Angelberry Organics. They specialise in beautiful, organic and cruelty-free make up and quite frankly I'm smitten.

A Sunday Kind of Love – Mel Shoes & Wah Nails

Kat

July 24, 2011

Inspired by Gala, I've decided that a weekly list of things I'm grateful for each week will potentially help me to realise how lucky I am. Sometimes life's stresses can get in the way and we forget to stop and smell the roses. I'd encourage you to do the same. I'm planning on keeping a notebook with me at all times to jot down the small things that make me smile (and that might otherwise pass me by.) It's so easy to focus on the bad and ignore he good right? I woke up this morning in a crappy mood and just writing this list has made me feel a whole lot better.
