Food Festivals Are The Best Kind Of Festivals!

Literally... 

So yesterday I went to the Cardiff Food Festival which was such a lovely day out! The sun was shining (most of the time), and there was far too much to choose from. I settled for the brownies... Because I am just completely addicted. 

We walked around, took in the sites and had some well deserved coffee breaks and then settled for some lunch at Bosphorus, a Turkish restaurant set out on a pier in the middle of the bay. It was such a nice place and the food was beautiful. It is definitely worth a visit! 

Here are a few images from the day for you to enjoy!

Neglecting the blog!

I have been so busy lately. Between work and organising photo-shoots I just haven't stopped.
Unfortunately we had a shoot planned for this week but it was cancelled last minute, so I have no new work to share with you all! So instead, I thought i'd share with you some images of what has happened in my life this week.

I did have a mini photo-shoot with one of my best friends little girl. It was so much fun and she is just the cutest, sweetest little girl ever.

Prepping for the Re Loved photoshoots and fashion show! These sequins are from one of the garments that Re Loved is selling and the second image is of a vintage inspired photoshoot in this week's Grazia! 

This week my boyfriend and I went to check out a new grill in Cardiff. 'The Smoke Haus' is home to one of the biggest mixed grills I have ever seen and my boyfriend attempted it, and to be honest, he didn't do to badly! Only left the chips (As there was a mountain of them).

Sneak peak of my new Jeffrey Campbell Litas! Mother bought me a treat and I adore them. Will put an outfit post up later in the week! Also I cleared my rail and started putting out my Autumn/Winter clothing. On the end is a sneak peak of my new H&M AW14 STUDIO trousers.

Took my dad on a coffee date. This is my favourite past time.

Emily <3. She is absolutely adorable and I think she will become a photographer one day!
This is my best friends little girl, and I love her so much!

Here it is guys, my week in pictures :)
I will be sorting out some outfit posts this week as well as organising some new shoots!


What has everyone been doing this week?

I Quit Sugar

After years of dieting and doing extreme bootcamps to shift my weight, I feel it is now time to have an overhaul of life and actually change the way I eat and live completely. 

I discovered Sarah Wilson and her 'I quit sugar' books. They are amazing and I definitely would recommend them to anyone. I have only recently started to get into cooking, however I feel that doing it in the right way will be a lot better for me in the long run. So far, every meal has been delicious, even if it is something I originally looked at as seeming a little strange. 

It is crazy how you can quit sugar in so many ways and it not make too much of a difference to your lifestyle. In these books Sarah tells you how to make sauces, desserts, delicious meals and fast food substitutes to keep you on track.

Last night, I tested the 'Thai Red Curry Bolognese with Thai Salad'. It was amazing and again is something I wouldn't normally make for myself. My other half and I thought it was so nice, he had the left overs for his lunchbox! It was so simple and easy to make, and didn't have any sugar! I am excited to continue to test her 8 week plan and I'll document the food journey right here, which is also a complete first for me. I'm no chef! 

And here it is! My finished image. It was so delicious and I was so proud!

What is your favourite dish to make?
