Another wonderful wedding weekend bites the dust.  This time in beautiful Norwich.. driving through torrential rain on Friday to Saturday's outdoor wedding we asked every good fairy possible if they could pull out all the stops for just a few hours grace.. and what did we get??  The most beautiful, DRY day filled with so much love and laughter... (thank you good fairies).. :)

So much more to share from this beautiful day...

agnes and norman..

Not sure I can call this work at all to be honest.. hanging out in Brighton for a few days with a great bunch of peeps.. some gorgeous clothes and the most amazing shoes.. oh and the only few days of sunshine to make an appearance back in February (it was literally snowing the week before and the week after!)

Agnes and Norman is the most beautiful new shoe range from one of my good friends Rachel Simpson (you might know her for her beautiful Bridal shoes).. they are vintage inspired in the most gorgeous colours.. all easily wearable as an every day shoe (even me who cannot do heels to save my life!).  The shoes are that gorgeous that I actually cried when she showed me them first time round.. I was just so proud of her and to be honest.. it's SO difficult to find the kind of shoes you have in your head.. I'm just so bloody chuffed that finally someone listened.. :)

So here's a few shots from the shoot.. it was such an amazing team.. running around Brighton.. chasing the sunset.. eating icecream.. and of course we might have done karaoke one evening.. ;)

A big thanks to Rachel Simpson, Bran Cook for super duper organisation, stunning make-up by Make-up by Jodie, the most phenomenal styling from Elizabeth Avey and her husband Phil, assistant photographer Joanna Poulton and then our four gorgeous models.. Abigail Poulton, Lauren Crace, Joe Winnard and my gorge hubby Pete..

We had a lot of fun..

Oh and I have a pair of Daisy in Mustard.. they are my favourite shoes EVER!!!

april wish list...

It's officially the first day of Summer! Wahooooooo! The sun is shining.. and 4 degrees is definitely an improvement.. hell that's shorts weather surely?!?  So I'm looking ahead to warmer days, longer evenings, bike rides, walks in the park, skirts without tights and open toe shoes.. blimey I think we're all ready for it..

life lately.. {march}

So March has been a funny old month.. considering last year we were sat on picnic blankets in the park soaking up the warm sunshine.. it's felt a little like groundhog day with the snow looking like it wants a piece of Easter.. seriously now.. when is it stopping?!?!?!

But apart from the apocalyptic weather March has been pretty pleasant..

So the carpet in the house is down and life has gone back to normal after 'decorate all the things' phase. I'm not going to lie.. we have probably finished 80% of it but the 20% that is left to do are the types of jobs that probably never get done.. so hey.. lets see if by October any of them will be finished..

 So it was my Birthday this month and just like Christmas, me and Pete don't tend to do much in terms of present buying for each other so instead I spent the morning in town buying bits of makeup and the nicest navy and white striped dress from Primark.. (I actually saw it on a guest at a wedding recently and asked her where she got it.. this tends to happen at least once at every wedding).. I also got the lovely coral suede shoes from Accessorize (I now just need the weather to go with them).  I also got some lovely surprises in the post too.. the mug is from the lovely Veronica Dearly (I love it as it incorporates two of my favourite things.. eggs and tea).. and a lovely photo album from the Shutterbox kids.. which I decided to fill with all our wedding polaroids.

Me and Pete then headed down to London for my friend Rachel Simpson's new shoe collection launch. We shot her new collection, agnes and norman in Brighton back in February and walking in and seeing all the imagery alongside her gorgeous shoes.. well, it just makes you feel all warm inside.. :)  I'm going to do a full post on the collection soon but, just beware ladies.. and gents.. you're going to want every single pair.  To top it off the launch was at the beautiful shop Lucy in Disguise which was literally the worst place to put me.. ;)  I came out with the most beautiful dress that I literally cannot stop looking at.. and I think it might actually have been made for me.. :)

We also managed to squeeze in a wedding fair right at the end of March and we'd been secretly planning our stand for a while now.. we had a great time at EWE.. the other suppliers were wonderful and we had such a lovely day meeting people.. and the best thing about it?  Oh my goodness.. I HAVE MY FRIGGIN' NAME IN LIGHTS!! Ha ha!  The amazing Vowed&Amazed (we shot their wedding in 2011) have just absolutely blown us away.. they are AMAZING!!! I absolutely love them and they are taking pride of place in our office forever and ever..

 It's been a pretty exciting and hectic month.. here's to a slightly less hectic April..
