Sorry for my absence over the past few days. I've been in St Ives with my family celebrating my parents silver anniversary, and whilst I haven't been blogging I've been using Instagram more than ever (if you follow me, then sorry for nonsense I've been posting!). We had a lovely time. The sun came out for us yesterday, and we spent the daylight hours getting lost in town, drinking Earl Grey in sweet tea rooms, eating cupcakes on the beach and swimming, swimming, swimming.
It's a good job that I was on a detox last week because it's been a fairly indulgent couple of days! I've had some gorgeous seafood, fish and chips, barbecue ribs, then last night we went back to basics and had a very posh picnic in our hotel room made up of goodies from a rustic little deli we discovered. I'm being good again now - I swear! Although in all honesty we probably earned the extra treats with the amount of swimming we did. Even in the evenings when it was a little cool to go in the sea we'd all pile into the hotel swimming pool and admire the sea views.
On a side note, ignore my heinous roots in these photos. I've just dyed my hair and I'm going to give it another H'suan Wen Hua treatment before we leave for London tomorrow morning. Only three days until our engagement shoot, and four until I sign with Sapphires and do my winners shoot! The week after that I may just get some down time...
But then again, maybe not!
Ps - Do you guys like these kind of posts (dare I call it 'lifestyle') - I've been doing more of them recently and I feel it's a natural direction for my blog. I definitely won't stop doing outfit posts anytime soon, but I may break them up more with this sort of thing. I just wanted to see what my readers thought? Open up to me and I'll definitely be replying to your comments!
Looks like you had a great time, really love these kinds of posts :) xo

DeleteLife style posts are a funny one, I blog life style or new designs posts for my jewllery shop - I think my main worry is posting 'my life' on the internet... I recently blogged my engagement shoot, wedding and honeymoon and although I like sharing, it is there for everyone to see. Its a hard one!
ReplyDeleteI think it's hard to strike that balance between sharing too much and being too closed off. Hopefully we'll both find a level of personal blogging that works for us x
DeleteBeautiful. :) Looks so dreamy. :) And those cupcakes look extra yummy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you - they were! x
DeleteLooks like you had such a lovely time :) I always love your photos, and I enjoy the lifestyle posts :) xo
