Happy Sunday everybody! Here is hoping all our wonderful American friends all enjoyed their thanksgiving Turkey and there are lots of full bellies out there. We actually celebrated our Thanksgiving a week earlier so we have had a bit longer to recover, it was so nice to relax a little.

What more could a girl wish for? It’s the ultimate day out!

Now here is what else we have been loving this week….
Emily Loves…
♥ My new polka dot inspired nails by Grace Kingsley – They are so adorable!!
♥ Day long shopping trips with Mr T. We both took a day off work this week to start christmas shopping for nieces and nephews and boy didn’t I have fun in the toy stores. Mr T was literally having to drag me away from the Play dough!
♥ The Hunger Games!!! I loved all the books and I had to admit I was never sure if the screenplay would live up to the world I had built in my head but the makers of the film have certainly come through and it is though my imagination has been brought to life. How am I ever going to wait another year for the next film?
♥ Seeing more of our page designs come to life for The Online Wedding Show, I am starting to find it hard to contain my excitement!
♥ DIY! Me and Jess had so much fun filming our next Youtube tutorial with James from Just Say Yes Films. You should be seeing it on your screens next week , how exciting!
♥ Pumpkin, Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup. This week was my first ever attempt at making soup and I have to admit I was very impressed with myself. We had so many pumpkins left over from thanksgiving and I really didn’t want to see them go to waste. I also had enough left over to also make and apple and Pumpkin curry and that was equally as yummy!
Jess Loves…
♥ Harry Potter Studio Tour!! OMG seriously, I had the best time there yesterday, it really was incredible just to see how many people and how much effort goes into making those films. Did you know that every single one of those paintings were painted especially for the film? And the goblins make up takes 4 hours to get and 4 hours to take off? So crazy!
♥ Filming our next You Tube video, we love it when we get creative with our surroundings. We always feel so lucky to live in the Forest of Dean.
♥ Eating sandwiches made with chicken, cheese, chorizo, salad & cajun sauce. Holy moly they were good!
♥ Catching up with old friends in London. I love that me and my family have kept in touch with a family we met on a holiday over 5 years ago!
♥ Visiting the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Aww I loved all the gorgeous stalls and yummy food. I bought myself a beautiful Mexican bowl, perfect for serving Nachos in!

Last but not least I saw this video on Facebook and it has been playing on mind all week. I have been known to be a bit of a drama queen and can sometimes make mountains out of mole hills (so to speak) out of the smallest problems. This video really made me take a long hard look at my life and realise that no matter how bad things get remember your part in life is make dreams come true and make others happy! If you can do that you are half way their to live a fulfilled life.
Much Bespoke Love

Aah, the clothes show – the perfect way to end the year with all things pretty in fashion!! I would love to win tickets to a hugely successful show, pamper myself with treats and hopefully a few glasses of champers too! *hic!* x
What girl wouldn’t want to win these tickets!! I will have everything crossed as a day of fashion and shopping sounds like the perfect day out to me and a little treat before Christmas!
Arrr I would love to win CSL tickets as then I can celebrate my birthday there (which will also be the first time I remember doing something for my birthday) 🙂 and it will make me feel better about losing my voice this week 😉
OMG That video practically tore me apart! I love Soul Pancake but I’m banning myself from watching My Last Days. I get a) so upset b) petrified…what is that pain in my hip… c) binge emotional. On another more positive note! If you are off to the clothes show you must pop by for tea! I will make a cake and all! xx
hiya, i’d love to go! i’ve been meaning to go for years but have never got round to it. this would give me the nudge i need!
