Fairy

I finally cracked open my Thorntons Chocolate Fairy Princess I had for my Birthday, Someone knows me too well! It was the cutest thing ever with all the detail of the hair and dress...but it tasted even better! 

Adult Colouring Book

Since being a kid I've always loved to colour. Give me a set of pencils and a book and I'll be quiet for hours. I did wonder whether I would look silly giving in to this new 'adult colouring book' hype but after flicking through the beautifully illustrated pages I had to give it a go. I've collected three books now, just becuase I like swapping between the different themes. My favourite has to be Millie Marotta's Tropical Wonderland. She puts SO much detail into her drawings that the colouring is vibrant and beautiful. 

These two colouring books are ones I have my eye on and are on my Amazon wish list for Christmas. I wanted to buy them all but decided to be sensible and go for one and work through that first. But the New York one, for obvious reasons that I've fallen in love with the place since I went in the summer and the Christmas one, becuase who doesn't want to colour in Christmas scenes at this time of year!?

Vinyl Love

Telford has long lacked a music store since hmv shut its doors in many shopping centres a few years ago. But with the revival of the brand we finally got the store back about a month ago now and I was itching to see what it was like.

As you can see I was more than happy with the mass of vinyl on display. I know Dan will be seriously happy now we don't have to travel to Birmingham to pick up a record. 

Dinner at The Shrew

For my Birthday Dan took me for a gorgeous meal at our local Restaurant 'The Shrewsbury Arms.' The food is always so tasty and presented really fancy, so you feel like you're getting a special meal. It was lovely to dress up and walk down there so I could have a glass of wine (or three) and enjoy the evening. 

I loved this mason jar my sister bought me for my birthday. It was great to pop a cheeky vodka and Coke in before I went out.

For my dinner I had salmon with mash, peas and bacon bits and Dan had a house burger and a huge side of pulled pork...yum!! 

22 Roses

I was so lucky to receive not one but two huge bunches of 22 beautiful Pink roses. That's 44 roses in my house! I'm in love! 

Birthday Bash!

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! I had such a lovely gathering to celebrate my 22nd Birthday, full of pink fluffy and inflatable flamingos! Dan outdid himself with his thoughtful and crazy flamingo decorations all around the house. We even had 5 inflatable flamingos dotted about which everyone grabbed and danced with by the end of the night! It was so nice to have everyone who means something to me in our apartment to share sparkly fluffy pink Flamingo evening! 

New hair

Hello from a brunette Vicky! Okay so I kept the ends blonde, but even they have been toned down to an ashy blonde rather than my yellow summer blonde I was going for before. I've also had my fringe put back in, I have such a love hate relationship with fringes, as soon as they grow into my eyes it's swept to the side for a few months until I decide to go back and get it out back in. The amazing Ashley Gamble team always impress me with their skills and knowledge of what will look good. 

Peace at the Civic

'She tastes like Sunlight, and she's always gonna be there in the back of your mind'

My Favourite lyric from Peace- Cali Days, was beautiful to hear sung across the huge Wolverhampton Civic Hall Crowd. One of my favourite gigs I've been to this year, and the best that i have seen them play as a band, having seen them 3 times now.  The best part was meeting Harrison before the gig. Although sarcastic, it was to be expected from someone so uber cool. I told him i liked his necklace, he said yeah me too... point made.

Powder Pink

I showed this photo that I took last week to my photography class and thankfully it received a good reception. I have learnt how to use my aperture to create the blurred background and my iso being so high made an almost 'powdery' effect in the background. Which if I'm honest i did not realise until it was blown up on the theatre screen but it actually works quite nicely with the magenta tones and the feel of the image. I love to texture and the veins on the rose petals and the fur texture on the leaf. Im really quite happy with this photo and thought would share, its my first that has been taken fully manual and had some good feedback!

Christmas Already?

Its that time of year, when the shops start creeping tinsel onto the ends of the isles, and cute little decorations make their way to the till after hopping in your basket when you only went to get washing up liquid. These 3 wooden hearts had to be bought. At £1 each form B&M i adored each one and couldn't choose, I'm sure theres room in the apartment somewhere for them...
