If you're anything like me, when you think Tuscany, you think beautiful rolling vineyards, delicious food and gallons of wine. And you wouldn't be wrong my friend. But where do you start? What do you do? Who do you take? WHERE DO YOU DRINK SAID WINE?!? Never fear dear reader, I'm here to tell you the best way to spend One Week In Tuscany.

As much as I've complained about the seemingly never ending sweatiness of this year, Summer never seemed to get started did it? Maybe it's because I've not been on my holidays yet or maybe it's global warming. Who knows. 

This HAS, however, brought the old transitional style question into play earlier than I would usually expect and I AM NOT READY.

Sustainability is such a buzz word right now, and for perfectly good reason. We are a nation of consumers; Fast food, fast fashion and fast relationships.

Cue me, a 35-year-old woman, terrified that the world is crashing and burning, making some big choices. The IMPORTANT choices. 

Choices, my friends, about wine.

We're not all jetting off to white sands and palm trees this Summer but a holiday is a holiday, and a holiday deserves a holiday wardrobe, whether it be in St Tropez or Skegness.

Travel | A Weekend Of Rest at Ye Olde Bell Spa

[Ye Olde Bell Hotel and Spa very kindly offered us a discounted rate for an incredible couple of days with them but all opinions are my own

After your late 20s, being a woman is HARD. Work, family, LIFE... So getting away for a couple of days to to chill the heck out is often very much at the top of our to do lists. Throw an impromptu hen party into the mix and a Luxury spa day at Ye Olde Bell Hotel and Spa is the way to go.

Five Minutes on Being Visible

[This post contains gifted items from Figleaves]

As a woman who does a 9-5 being Jen from The IT crowd, enjoys Countryfile more than she ought and who now uses Urban Dictionary on an hourly basis; I often ask myself what the ACTUAL living heck I’m doing perpetually posting partially dressed pictures on the internet.

Travel | Home From Home In Hull

[This post contains a gifted one night stay from The Hideout Apartment Hotel]

You may, or may not know that I am from the greatest city in the world: Kingston Upon Hull.

Home of chip spice, Pattie butties, tenfoots and The Humber Bridge; My hometown, with many working class cities and towns in the North of England, has had a bad rep over the years, but not a day has gone by when I’ve not been proud to be from this glorious city.

Occasionwear is totally my bag right now. Working from home and rarely doing anything fancy means that I long for the opportunity to get all dolled up. Thank goodness once more for Simply Be my friends.

Shopping for occasionwear when you're plus size can seem HARD my friends. I can't tell you the number of times I've trawled the internet looking for a frock that's even the right length and fit, before even considering whether it's going to be chic enough for the wedding of the century. Thankfully, Simply Be are upping their game this year to make being the best dressed guest much simpler.
