Happy Halloween everybody!  I hope you've had a tonne of fun, dressing up, partying,  trick n' treating, whatever you've been up to!  I had a great time at a party on Saturday, everyone at the party put so much effort in and looked amazing!  I felt very underdressed in a simple red outfit and oversized red fairy wings!  Oh well, next year!  And at least I put a bit of effort into my bloody nails, thank you to everyone who's liked the picture on instagram!

In other news, I got a new camera!  My last one finally gave up the will to live during my last trip to Gozo, so I decided to get the Panasonic Lumix TZ20.  I'm still getting used to the settings on it but I can't wait to get back into taking pictures for the blog!

Even more exciting than a new camera, I'm going to Rome on Wednesday!!  Just for a long weekend, but I can't wait to see all the sights, have some nice relaxing strolls around the piazza's, eat lots of pizza and just chill!  Now that I've got a new camera I'll even be able to take some decent pictures!

I hope you all have a good week, see you again when I'm back from Roma!

It's well and truly winter.  Well, Autumn... but it really really feels like winter!  After having only unpacked my suitcase from my summer holiday in Gozo three short weeks ago, I'm now totally over the 'I miss my shorts and bikini stage' and desperately seeking as many items of warm clothing as possible!

When it comes drooling over winter clothes, what's better than the amazing luxury and comfort of cashmere for those nippier days?  I've been lusted over jumper dresses, statement cardigans and casual jumpers recently. Pure Collection has an absolutely stunning range of cashmere and knitwear, I absolutely love the sleek tailoring featured on their website.

What's even better, is that while browsing the stunning cashmere, I was really excited to come across a little something that had me wishing for summer again!  The Printed Silk Drape Neck Dress has the most stunning zebra print design, and really reminds me of the tiger and leopard print dresses that are so popular in Topshop and Primark at the moment!  When a dress is as pretty as this is, there's really no need to let the fact it's not summer dampen a shopping spree!

Anyway, back to the winter clothing...  I think this sleek and stylish 100% Cashmere Boat Neck Dress would look absolutely stunning with chunky tights and knee high boots.  With the dainty belt it would perfect for a day time look.  Following on from the fabulous leopard print theme that is so popular right now, I love this Cashmere Animal Print Cardigan!  Again, 100% cashmere, what better to look stylish yet stay warm!  Another Pure Collection favourite of mine is the grey Cashmere Sweatshirt, an absolute classic, which I would pair with boyfriend style jeans and heavy duty boots.

Roll on winter!

I can't believe this is my first post of October!  Bad blogger, bad bad blogger!  These (nearly) three weeks have felt like ages, and definitely a lot longer than the week or so I mentioned in my Quick Update post!  I've some good times, and some not so good times,  while I've been away, so I thought a quick catch up post was in order.

I had an amazing, and much needed, holiday the last week of September.  Back to the island  of Gozo, which is soon becoming my second home, I visited my sister with my parents, boyfriend, cousin and cousin-in-law (such a thing?).  Four of us stayed in the most amazingly restored traditional farmhouse, it had so many beautiful original features, as well as a great little pool for keepy uppies.  We spent our days visiting beaches, swimming and eating... lots!


I'd planned a massive post on this holiday alone.  However it was a disaster technology wise!  I dropped my iPhone and it ended up getting water damaged.  Sob!  Although it's magically self-healing, it's still not working properly and I lost a lot of photos.  I was kinda relying on my iphone, since my camera decided to give up and go into a coma half way through the week, it was pretty old!  I managed to piece together the photo montage from the few pictures I salvaged from my iPhone and the few peeps but up on a facebook... the 500+ photos my boyfriend took, he managed to accidentally delete while updating to the new iPhone software! Disaster!


Since returning to the UK I've had to borrow my mums old 3G, it's been through the wars but at least it works!  Just to be clear, my mum smashed this phone, not me.  Now it just serves as an emergency back up. Really can't wait for the insurance to come through on mine though,  I'm seriously missing the iPhone 4!

I spent the weekend in Birmingham last weekend, with my two besties.  We were down for two wedding fairs.  Yes, two!  Although wedding fairs aren't particularly my cup of tea, I was there for my friend, and we had such a laugh!  Charlotte is getting married next September, and I'm a bridesmaid! Exciting! The National Wedding Fair was way too hectic and over-the-top corporate, but The Designer Vintage Fair was fabulous.  It gave Charlotte lot's of inspiration and I really enjoyed browsing the vintage table decorations, cupcakes, shoes and dresses.  I even managed to locate some bloggers!  If any of you are getting married I'd definitely recommend reading OMG I'm Getting Married and Rock N' Roll Bride, even if you're not getting married these are just really beautiful blogs!


In other news , work has been crazy busy (no change), and I've had a massive addiction to Game of Thrones!  I can't wait for season two!  I started watching it only because parts  were filmed on Malta and Gozo... but I was soon hooked and watched the whole first season in about a week!!  For any of you that have watched it you'll recognise these pictures, of the Azure Window, Gozo, and me and Chris stood at Mdina, Malta :)


So, that's about it from me!  I've got a loads of post ideas so can't wait to get back into the swing of posting again.  Thanks for sticking around the last few weeks, it's great you guys have continued to comment on my older posts too!  See you back on here soon!
