Everyday and Red Carpet looks of....

I've always been inspired by the everyday looks of a few actresses....my favourites are Kirsten Dunst, Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth. They seem so able to pull off the casual, relaxed almost french style of skinny jeans, neutral colours and perfect accessories. So to honour their style, I've chosen some of my favourite 'everyday' looks below (and squeezed some red carpet looks in there too!)


Stripes never fail to look chic

You can't beat a neat centre parting

Accessorising with an oversized leather bag

Sapphire and regal purple work so well against her fair hair

Skater girl and gothic chic

Covering up yet drawing attention with the bright handbag

Little jackets and black leggings


Perfect style - red lips wow!

Have your cake!

So, I'm on to the delicious stage now where I'm starting to look at a variety of wedding cake designs. My Mum has very kindly offered to make ours (saving many needed pennies!) though if I had any choice in the world I would undoubtedly choose some extravagant expensive delight!

There are so many weird and wonderful images in magazines and websites but I've chosen a few to put up here for your inspiration! Some are by unknown designers I'm afraid but the majority are by April Reed, the Little Venice Cake Company and Choccywoccydoodah!

Ideally, I'd like a four-tiered cake just because it makes such an impact though we might not get through that much! Guests always stock up on canapes and after a three-course meal, few have belly room for some rich fruit cake! My favourite flavours so far are Belgian chocolate, fruit, vanilla sponge (with raspberry jam and cream cheese filling) and the classic carrot cake! Let me know what your cake is like and how you decided on your fillings! Enjoy! (getting pretty peckish now after writing this..........)


This is one of my favourites - I just adore the pale pink and simplicity of the flowers

This is another favourite - pure, simple, elegant - I love it!

A good idea if your guests all prefer different types of cake - and a nice vintage/country feel on the logs!

Just stunning - fondant petals, must have taken hours to perfect!
