    Get Summer Holiday Ready with Veet | QueenBeady

    Veet 4

    As the days keep ticking by, I’m slowly marking an ”X” on each day. I know I shouldn’t wish my days away but at the moment there is only one thing on my mind and that my friends is a trip to Mexico in 45 days. AS I’m dreaming of cocktails and lounging around on a beautiful white, sandy beach with nothing but the waves to keep my ears company I know I have some major prepping to do. Not only am I working out 2-3 times a week to tone up that dreaded tummy of mine – I’m also needing to keep in tact my hairy legs. Yes you heard me. I have a really hairy body. I actually kind of wear it as a badge of honour now & when the discussion arises of ”how much hair we had as a child?” I’m always first to raise my hand in the air and proudly say ”I looked like a monkey when I was born.” Here there’s even proof; You have to admit it’s a colossal amount of hair, am I right?

    Bon Marche AW15 | QueenBeady

    04

    Recently I was asked to be a part of the Bon Marche Catwalk at Lamberts Yard, Leeds. I was super pleased as I love an excuse to get my make-up done and put on a pair of heels! It also gave us the chance to have a sneak peek of Bon Marche’s AW15 range that is due to land soon. Now, forgive me for thinking that Bon Marche is somewhere my Nana might shop but it seems that they are upping their style stakes and adding classic pieces to the range that will stand the test on time. It was time for myself and a few other fellow bloggers, Kellie, Kristina, & Jennie  to walk the pink carpet!

    An Open Letter to Bloggers; Man Up & Go Get It | QueenBeady

    Life seems to be passing me by at a rapid rate at the moment. Blink and you miss everything. My life consists of a Monday to Friday job in an office, so you’d think that time would go slower than it does, but with a busy calendar it’s almost like my feet are moving without me even realising. I’m so grateful for the wonderful opportunities that my blog is seemingly bestowing me with at the moment. It’s exciting & exhilarating, I’ve finally had a moment in my ”blogging career” where I’ve thought ”I’ve had a special blogging moment” and that’s been a few times recently. That has taken FIVE WHOLE YEARS (remember this throughout the post). This is not a brag post and it annoys me to the very core that I should have to semi-advise/apologise for feeling good about something. Surely we should be championing each others achievements?

    This is an open letter to all you Bloggers out there.

    70’s Boho Vibe | QueenBeady

    Daniel Footwear, mango embroidered top and topshop denim skirt 2

    Top Mango | Denim Skirt Topshop | Sandals C/O Daniel Footwear | Sunglasses Next | Watch Olivia Burton

    If I could put in to words how much I love this outfit I’d be writing a sonnet or proclaiming my love in some linguistic prose that was completely off the wall. But, I’m just going to say that I am madly, deeply in love with this folksy print top, that’s reminiscent of the tops you find hanging from market stalls down windy, hilltop Greek streets. Paired with my brand new A-line, button down skirt and these sandals from Daniel Footwear, I practically live in these slip on sliders because they are so comfy & they also have really great support because they are moulded to the shape of foot. All of this together creates a real 70’s vibe too which I am loving! I have to stop myself from reaching for this outfit every time I open my wardrobe!

    Pizza in the Park Church Fenton 1

    Pizza in the Park, Church Fenton is a cute little addition to our local area. It’s one that is welcomed with open arms in my eyes. I mean, who doesn’t like pizza? If you don’t, you might want to stop reading now. Situated on the outskirts of Church Fenton, the site is named The Old Park Plantation and it’s home to the wildlife protection Trust too. Set in among 14 acres of woodland and ponds you’ll get a glimpse of the wonderful outdoor restaurant that is fast becoming a hit with locals! From March the 28th, you can come along on a Saturday night between 4pm – 9pm & enjoy a pizza that has been home-made and cooked in a traditional clay oven. How authentic?
