Oh Man!

So it seemed that I took February off from blogging. Let the excuses commence...

Firstly, and hilariously, the phone company managed to 'fix' a fault by connected my land line to somebody else's land line, so I was without internet for about 2 weeks whilst they buggered around trying to sort it out, but we did had the novelty of having a new home phone number for a while, which was of course fun. Secondly, and most importantly, I've been on holiday.

Just got back from Oman (do you get the title now?) yesterday, and may I just say that it was gorgeous, and truly blissful to spend a week in the sun with my boyfriend doing little but reading trashy novels and eating.

So in the tradition of 'hipster' blogs I shall upload my pictures in Instagram form, not least because my photography skills leave a lot to be desired.






  1. Rani float - actually had really chunks of peach in - amaze.
  2. Shellac nails in Tropix (chipped like a bitch though) and my fabulous Kindle skin
  3. Not bad for a Monday morning!
  4. Hotel room view
  5. Infinity pool
  6. 'Sand card' for my Daddy (slightly alarmed that I look like a skeleton though)
  7. Breakfast - to sort out the 'skeleton' look
  8. My new olding Wayfarers - genius!
  9. My boyfriend actually reading a book
  10. Hotel courtyard 


Sadly the lovely holiday has been pretty much wiped from my memory due to the fact that the flight back was horrible, I usually travel well but I managed to feel terrible the whole way home, and my boyfriend decided that he had developed a fear of flying. So I basically spent the whole 8 hours being clung on to for dear life by my poor pale, clammy handed boyfriend whilst I concentrated on not vomming everywhere. 

Anyway, can't complain. Hope you are all fabs and hello to my new followers.

Holiday Blues

Although I seem to have frequent hiatus's from blogging I actually have a value excuse this time. I've been in America for 2 weeks.

My boyfriends parents have a place out in Marco Island, FL so me and him go there every year, but this year we stopped off in New York before for a couple of nights. I've never been to New York before so it was pretty exciting, but massively exhausting! We practically walked around the whole of New York shopping and doing little touristy bits. But my favourite part was going to PDT, or Please Don't Tell, it's like a secret cocktail bar that's hidden behind a phone booth, it's really hard to get a table in because they only let you ring up to book at certain time on the day you want to go and then of course the phone-line is jammed! But we sort of rocked up and managed to wangle a table!

I am however utterly ashamed of my photography skills. I actually took like 10 photos of the whole trip on my iPhone (not even my camera!) and they are all rubbish! Plus I'm super upset that I didn't manage to get any photos of PDT, but I hate, hate, hate looking like a tourist so I stupidly didn't take my phone or camera!

Anyway here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

New York


Crazy ass picture of cabs


Super yum French toast at Cookshop



Of course we had to try one of Magnolia's cupcakes!


The Kardashian's shop, super happy to stumble upon this, but nothing in there particularly caught my eye


Amazing desert at Buddakan


View from the Empire State building

Florida


Even the roads in FL are pretty!


Naples beach

Naples pier, always a gorgeous sunset


The boyf


OMG I love rare tuna

Anyway it's back down to earth with a bump, as I'm back on night shifts this week. I'm super jet-lagged still because of it and I'm worried that I'm never going to get back to the right time zone!
