The Big Day - outfit post.

A little different outfit post for you today - this is the dress I wore to my Mothers wedding last weekend.

It took me so long to choose a dress, we're not really a traditional kinda family, the wedding reception was in a local pub and we ate chicken kebabs for the meal (as well as other food!) so I didn't want your usual kinda fancy looking dress. I actually bought 3 from ASOS and tried them all but this one was the clear winner! 

The pub (you can see the outdoor seating) was right on this beautiful river.

Casio Watch - TheWatchHut
I usually wear my gold Casio but as I was wearing silver rings this went so well! I love it!

The 'Button Hole' Flowers I had to wear.

My nails for the wedding.

It was a lovely day in such a beautiful location!
Congratulations to my Mum and Simon and I'm actually back down in Devon again this weekend to visit my Australian cousin who came down as a suprise for the wedding!

Take care <3 p="">x

Pentagrams, Prince and Braaaaiiinnnss

Samhain is the Pagan/Wiccan name for Hallowe'en, It marks the end of harvest and the coming of Winter.
It is also a celebration of life, inviting those who have passed on to join in the festivities as this is when the veil between the living world and the spiritual world is at it's thinnest.

There are many different way to celebrate whatever your beliefs and this is how I am spending this years:

My Pentagram Pumpkin.

Prince in his Skeleton costume

Brain Jelly!

The neighbours cat came in and got forced to wear the Hallowe'en bandana.

Prince Symbol Pumpkin.

I'll be settling down, candles lit and watching cheesy horror movies.
I hope whatever you do you have fun and stay safe!

Halloween House Decorations.

Good Evening!

I've had such a long weekend being so ill and having my Mothers wedding down in Devon - I'm exhausted! But this week is all about my favourite holiday - Halloween! As you may remember from this Pumpkin Patch post I've got my pumpkins ready to be carved and then turned into soup, and also my Halloween Jumper is coming out to play when I'm at work.

Today I will be sharing with you my Halloween decorated living room:

Also not pictured:

Inflatable pumpkin, hanging up cat/witch thing, giant spider web with fake spider in on the window, cobwebs on my stags head, pumpkin fairy lights, skull candle and a spider candle.

Pretty much all of it is from Pound-shops or the supermarkets - it's so cheap and I can't say no!

The rest of this week will be Halloween related too :P
Take Care.

Little Apache Jewellery.

Unfortunately I am still super ill AND it's my Mums wedding day on Saturday so I will be heading back down to Devon tomorrow morning so this will be my last blog post until next week now! I can't take Prince with me either due to being in a hotel mostly so he's off to stay with my old housemates who helped raise him for a weekend sleepover :)

I'd love to share with you one of my best pals little jewellery company she has set-up named Little Apache. 

The beautiful Sally has been working super hard on making all the stock ready to set-up her shop over on BigCartel. I was so lucky to be sent some pieces (that I just can't stop wearing) and I thought I'd show them off here plus a few other cutie bits from her site:

Onyx, crosses, pentagram trio.
This one was made especially for me - i have teeny tiny wrists so Sally made them extra small! 

Bear Charm Bracelet.
I love this! The cute little feathers and fox heads are too sweet. 

Little Sodalite Choker.
This is my favourite! I haven't taken it off. Sodalite is said to bring inner peace.

Little Dream Necklace.
The little feathe charms coming off this cute dreamcatcher are such a lovely touch.

Little Moon Shine Necklace.
This is on a long chain which I really love wearing with dresses. So beautiful.

Vampire Teeth Necklace.
Limited Edition for Halloween

Little Elder Tree Necklace.
The Elder Tree is a Celtic symbol often associated with Faeries. 

Don't you love Sallys work? Now, just 'cus she's one of my BFF's doesn't mean I'm bias (I am) but I do really adore all her hard work and effort put into some amazingly cute jewellery.

Hope you have a great weekend

My Stay at The St.Pierre Marriott Hotel & Country Club .

Hello Lovelies!

I am writing this with the last ounce of strength I have as I am super achey and fluey feeling. I keep breaking into little sobbing fits and Prince keeps nuzzling me and grooming my hair. Such a sweetie!

I mentioned in my last post that I was going away for the evening, and here is where I went: The St.Pierre: A Marriott Hotel & Country Club..
I was contacted to ask if I wanted to review a stay at the St.Pierre (A Marriott Hotel) in Chepstow - of course I did. Chepstow isn't that far from Cardiff so a night away but close by is what I've needed for a while now. It's a hotel and country club so it has a huge golf course and lake as you drive through the grand, tree-lined entrance to this:

That there is the view from our room of the hotel entrance - isn't it beautiful?!
The check in staff were amazing and put us in a room outside the front of the hotel named 'Iris Cottage'.

Our room is the grey door.

The hotel also has an old church on the grounds with a very old graveyard which was great for a supernatural girl like me!

The cutie little doorway and desk area.

the BIGGEST bed I've ever slept in - Ross looks so tiny! 

Luxury bath. 

Beautiful sink set-up.

After settling into our room, a cup of tea and having a walk around the grounds we went over to their very posh restaurant, Morgans, for the most amazing meal. To start we had chicken pate with brioche bread and onion marmalade. For mains was pan fried chicken breasts with Caerphilly cheese and bacon sauce. For dessert I have raspberry and white chocolate cheese cake and Ross has sticky toffee pudding.

The nicest meal. We had 3 courses and wine. The chicken with Caerphilly cheese and bacon was incredible.
We were seated in a grand hall it was very Twin Peaks!

After a few beverages in the hotel bar we got an early night as we wanted to get up and catch the breakfast buffet. Breakfast buffets are probably one of my most favourite things in the world - fresh English cooked breakfast, continental and fruit and cereals - perfect!

As you walk into reception - this is hanging above! I so want one in my house!

Before we left we hit up the spa where we had a massage each - oh wow! The ladies there really know how to make sure you relax. We then went to the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna before checking out and heading back to Cardiff for Swn Festival.

I want to just say thankyou SO much to the St.Pierre Marriott and their incredible staff for a beautiful and relaxing night away. It's such a lovely getaway from the city.
