A Cute Colchester Wedding

Good evening! Today’s real bride is Mindy – isn’t she gorgeous?!
I found Mindy through the wonderful Natalie of L.O.V.E Bouquets who created Mindy’s gorgeous arrangement. They had such personal details from having their son as the ring bearer to going back to their home town to celebrate at their local community centre which they decorated themselves.

“We met down the beach of my home town back in 2001. It was a nightly & weekend thing that the boys would turn up in their cars & would park up in a line on the grass & have a talk & a laugh & a kick around with a football. We started flirting by playing football & play fighting – I was always giving him dead arms.

One night after a few drinks down the beach, we kissed  & it just blossomed from there.

After a year of being together & I had just finished college I fell pregnant with our son, Bowen. It was then that we got engaged & I have been wanting to get married ever since. But affording to was the main reason why we didn’t till now. Bowen is now 9!! We booked the date last year & the date we picked was basically our 11th year anniversary of being together, which we thought was perfect. Continue reading

Accessories Ahoy! Preciously Mine competition!

Good afternoon and a happy 1st of the month!
To keep you in high spirits with this weather we’re having, I shall introduce you to one of my current crushes: Preciously Mine – “Classic, edgy and geeky accessories for ladies & gentlemen”

Preciously Mine Nautical Collection

Aren’t they gorgeous? Audrey is a fashion designer from Québec, creating clutches, handbags, wallets, iPhone, iPad and MacBook sleeves.
This week I had chance to speak to owner Audrey about her lovely clutches and how Preciously Mine started..

“I’m Audrey Lavoie, owner and designer of Preciously Mine.
Fashion school drop out, I finally found the time to start my business in November 2011. I started by making hair bows and bow ties to experiment with leather and vinyl. A couple of months later, I dreamt of a bow clutch and tried to make it the following morning! The result wasn’t fabulous but it was a good start. In March 2012, I came up with the first improved Preciously Mine bow clutch. I’ve been making clutches, purses, tote bags, wallets & other accessories since.

Black on Black Curved Envelope Clutch with Cheetah Lining

“My very first tattoo was 3 small stars on my left hip that I got at 17 years old. Two years later I started getting big pieces and it hasn’t stopped!
I have PRINCESS on my knuckles with a crown and a diamond on my thumbs. I also have a heart on the lower knuckle of my ring finger. Continue reading
