</div>
It is truly back to reality / work / normal everyday life after having the most <i>amazing</i> holiday. We have fallen in love with America and can't wait to return and explore more of this beautiful country.<br />
<br />
First stop was New York for 5 nights. This has always been my dream destination, and I certainly lived up to every expectation that I had! <br />
<br />
We stayed in the <a href="http://www.hudsonhotel.com/en-us/#/home/">Hudson</a> hotel, which was on west 58th street. Even though the room itself was small, I would still recommend this hotel as it was in a great location and had a very cool sky terrace roof bar. We enjoyed a cocktail or two here! <br />
<br />
The sun was shining and we made the most of our time in this amazing city, exploring every bit that we could. <br />
<br />
Here's a little taster of the photos I took via instagram - I'm looking forward to sharing all my other photos too!<br />

1. Beautiful flowers in the garden. Not sure what they are though!<br />
2. The most delicious burger at <a href="http://www.bills-website.co.uk/">Bill's</a>. I could eat another one <em>(or two...)</em> right now<br />
3. Even more deliciousness...this time a mixed berry and banana smoothie. Trying to counteract the naughty burger!<br />
4. Spending time with my favourite lady<br />

<br />
You never know when that invitation will pop through your letter box, and you need to rush out to buy the perfect wedding guest outfit...<br />
<br />
I only have two weddings this year, but luckily I'm a bridesmaid for both! <br />
<br />
However, if I was attending these weddings as a guest, this is definitely something I would go for...<br />

<br />
Cape Cod, in particular, has stolen my heart.<br />
<br />
I can't <em>begin</em> to tell you how excited I am to explore the Cape!<br />
<br />
I've been busy researching where to go, what to eat, museums, what sights to see...<br />
<br />
More importantly, I've got my Jackie Kennedy book ready to flick through...<br />

<br />
Add a delicious ice cream to that mix, and it's pure summer bliss! <br />
<br />
For my <a href="http://www.longdistanceloving.net/2013/06/fridays-fancies-132.html" target="_blank">Friday Fancies</a> theme this week, I've gone for a classic yet very chic pair of Burberry sunglasses....<br />

1. The most delicious homemade brownies for a Friday afternoon, thanks to my fellow blogger friend over at <a href="http://fletonhouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Fleton House</a> - have a nose at her great blog if you want motivation on fitness and decor ideas!<br />
<br />
2. Girls trip away - this time we headed down to <a href="http://www.new-quay.com/index.htm" target="_blank">New Quay</a>. A really cute harbour town, with the <em>best</em> ice cream! I went for a banoffee pie flavour, while my friends opted for white chocolate and butterscotch.<br />
<br />
3. Enjoying a drink after devouring ice cream.<br />
<br />
4. This is the most enormous seafood platter I have ever seen. Delicious, but unfortunately I could not finish it. We had food at the <a href="http://wellingtoninnwales.co.uk/" target="_blank">Wellington Inn</a>, and I highly recommend this place!<br />
<br />
5. I had to keep room for this pudding - hot triple chocolate fudgecake (shared with friend). And yes, this blog post is mostly about food. <br />

<br />
There is nothing I love more than curling up on the couch with a blanket and becoming enthralled in a good book...<br />
<br />
Or even perusing the local library and stumbling upon an old gem of a book.<br />
<br />
Well, I've only recently discovered <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/17129857-angie" target="_blank">Good Reads</a><br />
<br />
I know, where have I been!<br />
<br />
Good Reads allows you to create an online library of sorts, rating books and finding new recommendations from online friends. <br />
<br />
Sounds perfect!<br />
<br />
I'm slowly building up my book collection on there and finding friends to share book reviews with.<br />
<br />
Are you on Good Reads? If so, leave me your name below and we can share our love of books! <br />
<br />
Here's my <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/17129857-angie" target="_blank">profile</a> for all you lovely bookworms out there.<br />

What have you been up to lately?angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03704754132005876586noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989378568531508206.post-2368887477120769862013-05-16T02:58:00.000-07:002013-05-16T02:58:28.202-07:00Get the look: Sienna MillerEver since I saw Sienna Miller rocking this cute little number from Matthew Williamson at the BAFTAs last weekend, I've been searching for a cheaper version this dress...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/award%20show%20pics/S136838767376861_2_zpsdfc77592.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" pua="true" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/award%20show%20pics/S136838767376861_2_zpsdfc77592.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
And my friends, I have found a very similar version that won't break the bank balance. So if you also fell in love with Sienna's look, here's how to create a very similar look for less!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
- Mint long sleeved skater dress from <a href="http://www.independentboutique.com/product/ukulele/mint-long-sleeves-lace-skater-dress" target="_blank">Independent Boutique</a>, retailing at £99<br />
- Studded shoes from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=10066341&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=shoes stud&pageSize=20" target="_blank">Topshop</a>, retailing at £60<br />

<br />
Now all I need is a St Tropez tan to recreate Sienna's glow, and I will be red carpet ready just like her. Well, <em>almost</em>...<br />

My best friend is getting married tomorrow in the beautiful gower <em>(please pray for sunshine / dry weather / no rain)...</em><br />
<br />
However, before I can start prancing around in my beautiful bridesmaid dress....it's time to share my <a href="http://www.longdistanceloving.net/2013/05/weekend-uniform.html" target="_blank">Friday Fancies</a> outfit, with the theme relating to <em>weekend wear</em>.<br />
<br />
This would be my ideal outfit for running errands - be that either walking Lena or wandering around the shops...<br />

<br />
Is it mostly because I would never be cool enough to pull off a bright neon orange dress? <br />
<br />
It probably is!<br />
<br />
But Spring and Summer seasons are the perfect time to wear strong colours with pride, especially if you're heading off to a festival.<br />
<br />
So for this week's <a href="http://www.longdistanceloving.net/2013/04/fridays-fancies-125.html" target="_blank">Friday Fancies</a> I put aside my concerns about pulling off a bright shade, and made a compromise. <br />
<br />
Neon accessories!<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
<br />
Now the above bag is something I would <em>love</em> to own.<br />
<br />
So the lesson here is, if you're scared to wear a certain trend / colour then start small, and stick with accessories!<br />
<br />
How do you feel about neon colours? <br />

<br />
It all started when I saw that Dior were exhibiting some of their amazing gowns over the years, and you could go and see these in the flesh at <a href="http://www.harrods.com/" target="_blank">Harrods</a>. <br />
<br />
A chance to see in close detail a dress that Audrey Hepburn had actually worn? Well I couldn't resist!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of my trip, along with a few others of my last few days via instagram...<br />

<br />
~ Look at this beauty...a dress that Audrey Hepburn herself has worn! I wanted to steal it (don't worry, I wouldn't do this) and prance about it in with glee. OK, maybe I actually wouldn't be able to fit into it...<br />

<br />
Well...actually hold that thought... <br />
<br />
Maybe not <em>pack away</em> as such, because let's be honest...we're guaranteed to have a rainy day or two!<br />
<br />
So, in the days where it <em>will</em> be gloriously sunny, here are the Spring shoes that I've got my eye on...<br />

<br />
Now I was going to choose a slightly more subtle polka print, but then I saw this adorable Zara blouse below could not resist creating an outfit based around it. <br />
<br />
Girls, it's time to wear your polka dot prints loud and proud!<br />

<br />
I hope everyone has a nice weekend planned? <br />
<br />
Mine is going to be pretty relaxed, and I'm really looking forward to it. The next few weekends for me are very busy, so it's nice to have some quiet time, watching films and eating good food with my husband and pup!<br />

<br />
As I look out the window, this is unfortunately not the case today. <br />
<br />
The wind is blowing, the rain is pouring down, and there is even threat of more snow on the way. <br />
<br />
Good old British weather, always keeping us on our toes!<br />

This is typically not the colours I usually go for, but as this week's Friday Fancies theme is <em><a href="http://www.longdistanceloving.net/2013/03/spring-wish-list.html" target="_blank">Hello Spring</a>, </em>then I wanted to create an outfit that would make me smile and skip around fields surrounded by beautiful flowers. <br />

<br />
This time around, they're collaborating with a famous textile designer, <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/uq/celiabirtwell/women/" target="_blank">Celia Birtwell</a>. I adore her prints, so was very excited to see how she transferred her creativeness into adorable, wearable clothes. <br />
<br />
There are many items available to purchase from today, ranging from t-shirts to tunics, leggings to culottes. Here are a few of my favourite items, and ones that I've got eye on <em>(roll on pay day...)</em><br />
<br />
<em>~ </em>V neck t-shirts are so handy for a casual weekend look Thrown together with jeans and sandals, you can't go wrong! Here are two of my choices...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb1_zpse32bbf55.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb1_zpse32bbf55.jpg" height="320" ssa="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb2_zps797799ab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb2_zps797799ab.jpg" height="320" ssa="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
~ Tunics are also another handy wardrobe staple item. I tend to wear these with leggings (only if they're long though...nobody wants to see a lady's bum through leggings now do they!) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb3_zps41f55a38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb3_zps41f55a38.jpg" height="320" ssa="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<em>~ </em>I'm also partial to a blouse, and have many in my wardrobe. I would <em>love</em> to add this adorable one to my collection...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb5_zps15b7c292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb5_zps15b7c292.jpg" height="320" ssa="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
~ Printed trousers are not normally something I go for....but I can't resist these red polka dots / star ones!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb6_zps427c3119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/cb6_zps427c3119.jpg" height="320" ssa="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Can you tell I have a thing for polka dots yet?<br />
<br />
There are many more items for sale on the Uniqlo website, so take a wander over <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/uq/celiabirtwell/women/" target="_blank">here</a> if you're interested in what Celia has to offer.<br />

<br />
The blossoms are starting to grow on the trees, and the sight of daffodils dancing in the parks are certainly putting a 'spring' in my step.<br />
<br />
As well as enjoying the little spring delights outside, here's a little recap of my last few days via instagram...<br />

It has everything a girl needs, and is <em>so</em> reasonably priced too!<br />
<br />
I've been drooling over their website over the last few days, and have created a little wishlist of the things I want to buy for my Spring wardrobe...<br />

<br />
<br />
1) Black, cropped leather jacket. I need this in my life, pronto.<br />
2) A classic denim jacket to throw over a dress on a breezier day.<br />
3) Converse style trainers, for walks with my puppy of course. <br />
4) Gold bangles. Who doesn't need these?<br />
5) Pink pumps, just because.<br />
6) Leopard print scarf. I already have one of these, but this is a different colour...so I definitely need two, right?<br />
7) Mint coloured jumper, so cute with skinny jeans and flats!<br />

I was however, determined to cheer myself up and stop feeling sorry for myself.<br />
<br />
Here's a little recap of what I usually do to turn that frown upside down...<br />
<br />
<em>(instagram name: angie_peanuts_pearls)</em><br />
<br />
1) Spend time relaxing on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea (of course)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/4_zpsfc3cc6cc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" jsa="true" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/4_zpsfc3cc6cc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2) 'Bake' yourself better! See what I did there? Here are my <a href="http://peanutpearls.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/currently-lovingmarch.html" target="_blank">banana and nutella muffins</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
3) Get some fresh air! We headed down to to <a href="http://www.coastradar.com/beach-guide/beach.php?beach=1456" target="_blank">Dunraven Bay</a> for a walk...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/5_zps702cc19b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" jsa="true" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/5_zps702cc19b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/3_zps915cbf19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" jsa="true" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/3_zps915cbf19.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4) Cuddle time is most important, especially with a clingy beagle pup...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/7_zpsafe951f9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" jsa="true" src="http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t414/peanuts_pearls/7_zpsafe951f9.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
5) Plus...don't forget your vitamins...Vitamin C all the way!<br />
<br />
<br />
...and voila! <br />
<br />
I'm feeling much better already.<br />
