OMG! This Week I…. is back! I last wrote one of these at the end of August, then my weekends went all crazy and I was away a lot and then it was Cocktail Week, and I was busy, and I just got out of the habit of doing them. But I missed them, and

Never Had It So Good: Britain in the 50s

I do like a good museum. And the Time & Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth is a very good museum! It’s a great general museum about the history of Great Yarmouth, but it also plays host to some excellent exhibitions. I first went there back in 2011 to see the saucy seaside postcards. This year

My Netflix Picks : The Halloween Edition

I have decided that Halloween will last a whole week. I plan to spend it wearing all the Halloween items in my wardrobe. Fortunately they’re not as extensive as my Christmas wardrobe, so a week is plenty, I don’t need a whole 12 days. Then I plan to spend it working through my Netflix list

Harry Potter Themed Things I Did in Edinburgh

Moshi Moshi Midori Cocktail Recipe

Right, so you’d THINK I’d be sick of Cocktails by now, right? About a month ago I got an email from Midori Melon Liquer offering to send me some Cocktail ingredients for a Japanese inspired cocktail. I thought it might be a fun thing to post during Cocktail Week. But then the box didn’t even

Rock n Roll Ballerina

This is the last Cocktail based outfit you’ll see, I promise. I kind of cheated because this is the outfit I’m planning to wear out tonight, I just put it on in advance to take photos. I COULD have worn it out tonight and taken photos. But tonight it will be dark, and anyway, by

The Return of the Cocktail Cardigan

Yes, that’s right, it’s another cocktail related outfit. This time it’s the return of the Voodoo Vixen cocktail cardigan. I bought it in 2014 and wore it with a bodycon skirt and glittery cheetah shoes. Then in 2015 its outing was a little more casual in Collectif Capris and a Bad Kitty Cocktail Headscarf. This
