Exhibitions
For a while now, I've been feeling the need to take a day for myself where I travel into the city and see and exhibition.
Here I have compiled a list of a few I'd like to see...

#1 - Hollywood Costume
This has got to be the top of my list! Before I studied fashion, I actually wanted to become a costume designer for film, stage and TV. I love anything to do with 'behind-the-scenes' of movies and this particular exhibition features costumes from many of the greats.
Tickets are around £15 and can be purchased here
If you've been, I'd love to hear what you think! I will be sure to blog about it once I have visited.
#2 - Valentino at Somerset House
An exhibition of over 130 gowns worn by icons such as Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren. Tickets £12.50.
#3 - Ansel Adams: Photography from the Mountains to the Sea
When I studied Photography at A Level, this is somebody I referenced a lot. Photographs of the most stunning landscapes that just take your breath away! Tickets £6.35

Simple White Dress: Ethereal
So I had a play about on Polyvore and this is pretty much what it looked like. Very simple and understated, yet effortlessly beautiful. It's almost dreamlike, which is why I named the set 'Ethereal'.
Sometimes the simplest of things can be the most beautiful. I remember being told this in my days as a fashion student and often when I designed things, the stripped-back versions were nicer.
With so many full-on prints about and so much 'hardware' being added to garments, I find the delicate pieces quite refreshing for a change. What do you think?
Daily Deal
Today's deal is perfect if you want to take a friend, partner or maybe your mum off for a spot of pampering.
For £69 for two people, you each get a 30 minute facial, 45 minute full body or hot oil massage and up to four hours use of the spa facilities. At about £35 per person, that's an absolute bargain!

I haven't used this particular spa myself, but it looks lovely. Take a look at the website here
If you do go along to this spa for some relaxation, definately let me know what it was like! Would you recommend it?

Heaven In A Peanut Butter Cupcake
Earlier this year whilst on my way to see The Jersey Boys in London's theatre-land, I stumbled across what has got to be the best cupcake I have ever had.
Thanks to my travels to the U.S of A (and more specifically, Reece's Mini Peanut Butter Cups), I have a real thing for Peanut Butter. Weirdly, I HATED the stuff during my childhood and teens, but now I love it.
So I was quite excited (bless) when my family and I walked into this cute little cake shop and I set my eyes upon this: a peanut butter cupcake.
The edible glitter really sets it off and I feel quite inspired to make my own cupcake creations.
The only problem is, I can't remember for the life of me what the shop was called, or really whereabouts it was. It was tiny and had tables with frogs on...
When I do find out, I'll be sure to post a link on here. In the meantime if you think you know what this bakery / cupcake shop is, pop a comment below!

A Little Bit Of Love
Recently I went for a little browse around my local Primark, mainly to try to find a couple of cheap embellished tops. Whilst I didn't find any of those that I liked, I did come across this really sweet ring, or should I say set of rings.
Aren't they cute? I've found myself becoming a little obsessed with it / them and throw them on when I need a bit of sparkle or want to add a bit of 'charm' to my look.
I don't know if it's the sparkle, stacking effect or the fact that they spell out the word 'love', but I adore them them. At £2 they were an absolute bargain too!
Anybody that knows me knows that I love statement jewellery, or at leat jewellery that's a little bit different. Maybe you yourself have some unusual pieces or know of good places to get some?
