A smile a day will keep the wrinkles away

What makes you happy ? I don't mean the smiling on the inside and squeezing out that little curl of the lip. I'm talking about genuine happiness ? From the feeling of a full belly , a new pair of shoes or even watching someone falling over (my favorite guilty pleasure), I find that happiness is completely over looked. Now days the majority of us spend our lives being miserable ! I am certainly guilty of this. I spend a lot of the day moaning about the train I took that morning and how much I hated having to be tucked away under a sweaty mans armpit. I winge and whine about how the rain has just messed up my straitened hair and I even sit there miserable whilst eating chocolate .. something that is meant to make you happy. What on earth is going on ? I know I'm not the only one.

So I have decided to dedicate a post to being happy. I thought I would share with you all the things that make me happy and make me smile.

ONE- Jumping in Puddles. 

                                                               TWO- Things that sparkle

THREE- Making A fort 

FOUR-  Nutella with a spoon

Five- When a kiss can make it all better

So please dear reader I ask only 3 things. Laugh like no one is watching , smile like a kid in a candy shop and if only for 5 minutes a day think of all the good in your life.

What makes you happy ?

The changing of the leaves

Ello ello . What busy bees we have been lately.  These photos are from a photoshoot that we did to celebrate our engagement. I am so pleased with them and  I love the autumnal theme. These were all shot by the lovely Megan Mcminn of The Briar Rose Blog.

We have a few recipes coming up soon. looking forward to showing you.

Bambi eyed blues

Music. The foundation to our relationship. It sounds odd but music really is our lives. So today was especially fun. We took a stroll down to the south bank and met up with a friend ( utter film genius)  to record our little song Fool.
Despite the wind and the chill nibbling at our fingertips (which was easily cured with a dose of hot chocolate) the day went well.

The photos above are just little snap shots from today. We would have loved to have done an outfit post but the light really wasn't having any of it. We shall endeavour to do one soon.

The Start

Hello

Welcome to our little world. This blog is somewhere that we can let our odd-ness run wild. Prepare yourself for lipstick stained tea cups, broken strings and a whole lot of bitter sweet romance. We will be posting gig reviews, fashion/outfit posts and recipes (the good and the burnt). 

So make sure to follow us to see what we have for you.
