J'adore Dior!

I'd been looking forward to the weekend just gone for ages, as my friend and I had planned a day trip to London, jampacked with things we wanted to see and do.

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 Harrods. 

A chance to see in close detail a dress that Audrey Hepburn had actually worn?  Well I couldn't resist!

Here are some pics of my trip, along with a few others of my last few days via instagram...

~ I think someone wants a walkies...

~ Pretty scenes on our walk

~ Mini Dior dresses on mannequins

~ 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...

~ Pub grub to finish off a busy day.  I gobbled up this salmon burger in a flash.

                                              Did everyone have a nice weekend?

my instagram life

We came back from our honeymoon last night, and had the most wonderful time.  Bruges is definitely the place to be in December if you want to start feeling all Christmassy...you are surrounded by Christmas trees and fairy lights, and of course the Christmas market! 

Here are a few little instagram pics of our trip...

Wedding Wednesday: mini moons

This might be my last Wedding Wednesday as a single lady! With my wedding date fast approaching in just 10 days I'm getting more and more excited to finally be finished with all the stress of planning.

We've also booked a little mini moon, which I'm secretly most excited about! We were unable to have a big 2 week honeymoon straight after the wedding for a number of reason, so a mini moon was the best solution for us. 

So...where are we off?  Bruges, that's where!

Has anyone else been to Bruges?  It sounds like it's going to be a magical few days there, and here's why...

What do you think of mini moons?  Would you consider it as an option?
