British Beach Polo 2014 Launch...

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to the press launch of the British Beach Polo.

The event is held in Sandbanks, Poole every year on the 11th and 12th July.

Unfortunately I didn't go last year but from all of the stories that I have heard...it sounds like it's going to be brilliant!

So, onto the launch...

The day started with meeting at the Thistle hotel down in Poole quay. This gave everybody a chance to meet and get to know each other. There were models, volley ball players, polo players, DJs and other sponsors like myself.

We then headed down to the quay and had various photos taken with the Polo horses and players. After that, we went on board a beautiful 40ft Sunseeker yacht. I was in heaven! The yacht was stunning and had a whopping three floors...and a hot tub! Luckily the day couldn't have been more perfect weather wise! Whilst the models had their photos taken, we were able to relax in the sunshine on the top deck. No complaints here!

Once we had finished up on the Sunseeker, we headed down to Koh Thai in Bournemouth. I have been to the Koh Thai in Boscombe and it the food was so delicious, I was really excited to try out the Bournemouth version! They bought out some delicious Tapas and we continued to mingle.

All in all a great day!

Here's some pictures...

Emma Stone never gets it wrong...

I have always loved Emma Stone but Pinterest has seriously made me love her even more!

After searching her name and finding all her incredible outfits, I just think, can you get any more amazing!?

She always looks so stunning and I love her simple, natural looking make up that always looks so beautiful.

I have seen that she has tried many different hair styles in the past and there are not many people in the world who can pull them all off. From blonde to red head, she always makes it work. And as a fellow pale skin girl, I love how she embraces it.

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't have thought pairing two shades of pink with red hair would have worked but this is actually one of my favourite outfits of hers. With her barely there silver shoes and small clutch it's just so sophisticated and stylish. It's official, there is nothing bad about this outfit!

 

She is just brilliant. Not to mention the clip of her totally overwhelmed by The Spice Girls Mel B.

 

Emma, you can do no wrong!

Maleficent Review...

Last Sunday Paul and I went to the cinema to see the new Disney movie, Maleficent.

I thought it was absolutely amazing! Maleficent, for me, was always the scariest villain of them all and Angelina Jolie portrayed my memory of her perfectly.

 

I have to admit I am not a huge fan of Angelina but this film may have swayed me.

The special effects are absolutely brilliant and the hair and make up is incredibly beautiful.

I've never really seen Elle Fanning in anything before but she is absolutely adorable and makes a brilliant 'Sleeping Beauty.'

 

 

My only disappointment were the faries. I remember them being so cute and hilarious in the cartoon but they aren't in the film too much. (I mean the cake making scene in the cartoon is a classic!)

 

 

I thought it was going to be pretty much a remake of the original cartoon but, without giving too much away... It was the same but different!

It's dark, sweet, funny and gripping all in one.

All in all, once again, Disney did not disappoint and this really is a must see film!

Bridesmaid hair...

This August I have the privaledge of being a bridesmaid at my brothers wedding. He is marrying the lovely Steph who has a great blog which you can find here

I have been thinking of some hair styles for the occasion and have once again been looking on Pinterest for some great inspiration!

I am loving the idea of having my hair down and having a plait as a crown.

What do you think?

Button up...

My latest little craft project was to brighten up my living room with something quirky and colourful.

I decided to purchase three identical frames from Ikea, which only cost £4 each and some mixed bags of buttons from EBay which only cost a few pounds for each bag.

I had some 'super strong glue' but NOT super glue! As this is quite fiddly and involves using your fingers a lot, you want to avoid using superglue as you will get seriously stuck together!

I arranged the buttons down free hand, you may want to use some kind of stencil if you want to do something a lot more detailed. 

Once I was happy with the arrangement, I got glueing!

The finished product is 'S & P' which is mine and my boyfriends initials...which I have also been told looks like 'salt & pepper' but I still love it.

I think it's a great way to brighten up a room for a great price and it's also something fun to do!

I hope you try this too :)

Weekly savings plan...

Whilst at work this week, we were all discussing how much we all need to save! Somebody said they had spotted a weekly savings plan online so I got cracking!

With a trip to New York and Vegas to pay for, I figured this would be pretty handy!

So the idea is as follows...

Week 1 - £1

Week 2 - £2

Week 3 - £3

Every week through the year continue doing this, so by week 52, you will be putting away £52.

If you keep this up every week for a whole year, you will make a grand total of...

£1,378.00. Who couldn't use that kind of money!

I am currently on week 11! Bring on the £££££!

Busy bee...

Hello all!

Well haven't I just been awful at this recently! When I saw how long ago my last post was, I cringed!

I have been very busy catching up with friends and family, settling in with a new job since returning back home but I think it's safe to say....we are now settled! At last!

I have been up to lots since the move...including weddings, jay Z, Christmas, a Christmas cruise to Belgium, my boyfriends 30th birthday to name a few...

I can't wait to get 2014 going with so much more exciting activities coming up such as city and colour and London grammar...

Sorry I've been so quiet but I will be back!

I have a great craft project I want to get started on so watch this space!
