Hands up if you can believe that it is already April? I know I sound like an old woman when I say but blimey where is the year going? It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas! I am so excited to be in April, the clocks have gone forward so the days are getting longer and there is something about longer daylight hours that makes you feel like you can do so much more, do you know what I mean?
Today me and Jess are roadtripping to Elmore Court to attend Tie the Knot, it is the first time we have had a unique and alternative fair in our home county and we couldn’t be more excited. If you are in the area you should totally pop by and say hello, we would love to see lots of your beautiful faces there.
In the meantime have fun reading our Off the Record this week, the ‘Fun Reads’ at the end have to be one of my favourites so far…have a happy Sunday!

♥ Attending the launch of Objets De Desir new boutique in Clifton Arcade. I am so excited that Rachel will have a permanent store there, I fell in love with her boutique last year after I stumbled upon her pop up shop in Cabot Circus. If you have no idea what I am talking about then Objets De desir was originally an online boutique that showcases a specially chosen range of handmade treasures created by emerging artists and designers from around the world. If you like the unique, beautiful, fun and eclectic then you need to check it out!
♥ My new Mica Peet Earrings which you can also find at Objets De Desir.
♥ Catching up with the Vampire Diaries! You might remember me telling you we got Netflix last week and I honestly dont know how I have lived without it?
♥ Spending time just me and my mum eating yummy food and chatting girl talk.
♥ Date night with Mr T – We went to the cinema to watch Captain America and it was awesome! You have to watch it!
♥ Taking mum and dads pup for long walks in the rain – I love the smell of the rain and woodland, it smells so fresh and revitalising, I had one mucky pup by the end of it!

♥ Watching Frozen for the first time! After all the hype it was so good to FINALLY watch it! I loved it! But I have to say…I think I may love Tangled just that little bit more…That being said, Frozen was so visually beautiful with all of the ice and don’t even get me started on the soundtrack!! LET IT GOOOOOO, LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
♥ Cooking tapas with James! Emily bought me an awesome tapas book for my birthday last year and we finally got around to cooking up some dishes from it last night! They were delicious!!
♥ Having the ‘time of my life’ watching Dirty Dancing at Bristol hippodrome! My gosh was it AMAZING!!!! The cast were incredible, the set was awesome and I just loved everything about it, especially the atmosphere when the classic ‘Nobody puts baby in the corner’ line came out! Everyone was cheering! I wanna go and see it again haha
♥ Having a fancy Italian meal with mum & my sister for a pre mum’s birthday dinner! We ate at San Carlos in Bristol and it truly was beautiful food. I had fried whitebait to start and then a crab and clam tagliatelle for main! OOOOSH. Italian food gets me every time! I’d highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion!
♥ Getting into Katy Perry’s Prism album. I know I’m a little late to this party but we’re going to see her in concert next month and I am loving the new tracks!
♥ Organising our Online Wedding Show promotional photo shoot! It’s taking place on Saturday and we couldn’t be more excited!! We’ve got some absolutely cracking suppliers involved travelling from all over the country to Gloucester where the shoot will take place! We cannot wait to have a fun day with fellow wedding lovelies and of course, share the photos with you!

♥ Oh how I would have loved to have been on this plane! I went to watch the Lion King a couple of years ago and boy didn’t it blow my mind! I have been thinking about going to watch for it a second time and after watching this video I think you will understand why.
That video makes me so happy, what an amazingly talented bunch!
Much Bespoke Love
