Honeymoon Dreaming: The perfect destinations to consider for yours

Honeymoon Dreaming: The perfect destinations to consider for yours

Honeymoon dreaming indeed… in just two weeks today, Ben and I will be travelling down to London Gatwick ready to jet set off on our American Adventure honeymoon.

With all of the wedding planning and the rollercoaster of emotions you end up feeling leading up the big day, it’s no wonder why couples can’t wait for the blissful break of their honeymoon. Personally, I love the idea of having some…

5 things that made me happy in March

5 things that made me happy in March

Another month has flown by and I can officially say ‘I GET MARRIED THIS MONTH!’

March was a bit of a whirlwind; works been super busy and wedmin has been off the charts. Throw in a hen weekend and yep – it went quicker than the blink of an eye.

Which leads me on to my first thing that made me happy last month.

My Hen Party

If you didn’t see my write up of the weekend, you can read that here, but…

Hen Party Shenanigans

I feel like i’d been waiting so long for this weekend to roll round but oh man, was it worth the wait!

I had the flu the day before we were due to depart however, which is just my luck, and so all packing was practically left until Friday morning. I had all the essentials though you know, my dresses, sixty pairs of heels and a bottle of gin – that’s all you need right?

Anyway, I’m picked up at…

What I've Learnt Planning a Wedding So Far

What I’ve Learnt Planning a Wedding So Far

Planning a wedding isn’t easy, in fact, looking back it’s actually pretty stressful. What when you run a blog, have a full time job, trying to make time for your friends and family and go to the gym… it’s a lot to add into the mix already. Don’t get me wrong, I love planning our special day and feel we’ve made all the right decision for what we want our day to be. But, here’s what no one tells…

5 things that made me happy in February

5 things that made me happy in February

Celebrating three years of Sherry Scribbles. On February 8th, my blog turned three so I decided to celebrate. I think this is the longest I’ve ever held anything down for and by far the most enjoyable too. I wrote a post about it and went for a posh meal at Michelin-starred Celeste at The Lanesborough in London.

Be More Karen. I was absolutely honoured to be asked to join in the #BeMoreKaren…

Celeste at The Lanesborough

Celeste at The Lanesborough

Earlier this month, my blog turned three years old, so I decided to celebrate. I was in London and had booked myself in for dinner at Celeste which is the Michelin-starred restaurant located in The Lanesborough Hotel; a 5* luxury landmark in the centre of London by Hyde Park Corner.

I was booked in for 7pm, however, I had arrived early for fear of being late. As the restaurant itself was being…

Not long now...

Not long now…

I can’t believe this is my first wedding post of the year – I mean, I can, because I’ve been so busy planning it that I’ve not had the time to sit down and write about it.

It’s nearly here. Oh. Em. Gee. We’re about 2 1/2 months away from the big day and it’s starting to get really exciting, a little bit nerve-wracking and a whole heap of stressful. Ah, the table plan. It isn’t until one tries to…

From Desk to Dinner*

From Desk to Dinner*

In this modern day in age, many businesses are taking a more relaxed approach to wearing smart clothing within the office. Corporate is becoming a lot less, well, corporate. Personally, this won’t stop me from dressing for success – I’m a strong believer in ‘dressing for the job you want’ and a CEO of a multi-national corporation company wouldn’t show up in a creased shirt and ripped jeans. Power…

What I’m Wearing for Valentine’s Day*

What I’m Wearing for Valentine’s Day*

With February 14th looming and all the stores stocking gooey cards and heart shaped chocolates, it’s hard not to fall prisoner to the cliche of Valentines Day. Now, I’m never normally one for overly celebrating love and putting on plenty of PDA, but this year, Ben and I will be celebrating our last one before we are married – so I thought I’d make a little effort.

I’ve been searching around for…

Three Years of Sherry Scribbles

Three Years of Sherry Scribbles

We’ve come a long, long way together…

Three years! THREE YEARS! This is by far the longest I’ve ever held a hobby for – and I’ve dabbled in a fair few. Wow. Just wow.

When I started this little online thingy-ma-bob, I’d never anticipated that it’d get this far. That it would lead me to where I am in life right now and give me the many opportunities it has. Never did I think after all those…

5 things you probably don't know about me

5 things you probably don’t know about me

I have two middle names. Yep, two. Greedy or what. A lot of people think my second middle name is actually my last name as I don’t tend to use my surname anywhere. I will however be removing one of them following our wedding day because with my new surname… it’s a bit of a mouthful!

I’m learning Spanish at college. And I absolutely love it. I’ve always had an interest in language – anything to do…

5 things that made me happy in January

January is always seen as a miserable month, it takes ages for payday to arrive, the weather doesn’t quite know what it’s doing yet and you’re still trying to declutter from Christmas, but there are plenty of reasons to be happy even with all that going on so I’ve picked my top five things for this month.

1. Taking part in an exercise class and meeting Mr. Motivator.

As part of Nottingham’s first…

Finding Your Own Personal Style

Finding your place in the world is hard enough but finding your own unique, comfortable style is even harder. You’ll no doubt see so many things in shops that you’re desperate to wear but you don’t think they’ll suit you. Just because you’ve never tried it before, doesn’t mean it won’t. 99% of the time it’s about the confidence rather than the clothes – you can own it with the right attitude. I…

Investing in Designer Fashion and Why It's a Good Ides

Investing in Designer Fashion and Why It’s a Good Ides

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to blow some of your hard earned cash on some very high-end pieces, then let me be the bearer of good news – designer fashion pieces are  not just about making a statement. They’re much more than simply making a frivolous purchase too if you do it the right way – they can be an excellent investment.

You see, not only are designer pieces (if you choose right)…

Street Style - Mixing High Street with High End

Street Style – Mixing High Street with High End

It’s easy to fall for luxury items with a high price ticket, I did with my latest designer purchase in my Vivienne Westwood handbag. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I’d seen it so I knew, I just had to have it.

What it’s made me notice though, is that if you team a couple of high end items with a few high Street pieces, you can make your whole outfit look expensive without breaking the…

What I’ve bought in the sales…

We all know January is a great time to buy the things you’ve been lusting after or the items you may not have found underneath your tree. I didn’t have a set list of things I wanted nor did I actually ask for anything in particular. I got a few vouchers and had saved a bit of money to splurge when the sales hit the stores.

I managed to pick up this gorgeous black jumpsuit from the Dorothy…
