The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker

I have been wanting to do a photo with this gorgeous ballerina set from Dead Doll since the moment I saw it....in fact I've done a couple because I wore it for the cover of one of my Advent Calendar vlogs that I have been doing with my friend Maria.  https://youtu.be/leIjNWcplLU Then yesterday I decided [...]

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

I have not watched the current season of The Crown...yet. I probably will but I think the recent death of The Queen has somewhat put me off diving into the most torrid and depressing time of British Royal History. At my grand old age I remember it all.

Make a Statement

Make a Statement

I can't even begin to tell you how much I am enjoying blogging again. Even before my enforced slow down and break I really think I was starting to lose my motivation in a big way. Almost the second I hit publish on a post I started to hate the photo, the post, the blog....everything. [...]
