  • OOTD Channelling my inner Italian | QueenBeady

    OOTD Channelling my inner Italian | QueenBeady

    WELCOME HOME! I hear you shout!

    Some of you may or may not know (and if you don’t, do you live under a rock?!?!) that I have been wedding-fying and honeymooning myself up with my HUSBAND.

    I hope to bring you a few posts over the next few weeks that share a glimpse and a peek into our special day, but for now in the spirit of keeping our honeymoon alive & well I thought I would post an outfit inspired write up today because I have been lusting after the Italian lifestyle.

    “why?” I hear you say. Well. Let me tell you.
    1. Everything is just effortlessly chic.
    I could go on to point 2 but to be honest the above sums it up pretty nicely. Having skirted and winded around the Amalfi Coast, explored the billionaire practise that is Capri, people watched from a quaint cafe in Sorrento I can safely say we experienced all of what the beautiful region of Italy had to offer.

    I have so much to look forward to this year. I thought I’d be lost after the wedding with something to do but I’m looking forward to my first Bloggers Meet in Leeds next month, so please say hello if you will be there too!

    How would you dress for Italy? I’d love to know, post your comments below!!

    Final Day | QueenBeady

    Today was my final day in travel. I’ve been in travel since I was 17 & I’m nearly 25 so the last 8 years have been devoted to learning about new destinations and the new cruise ships & aircraft that have entered the market.

    It’s going to be weird not being the in the know but now I will be able to afford to go on all these pretty holidays rather than dream about them whilst I sell it to another (very rude or undeserving!) customer. Don’t get me wrong, I have some clients that are now find friends – one whom I affectionately call “Grandad”. So I do have some fond memories

    I’ve been thoroughly spoilt by my colleagues today as you can see above. So much pretty for one photo, don’t you think? My favourite sits pretty there, Prosecco! All I can say is NOM NOM!

    I’ve had to change careers to better myself & also do something that I’ve never done before (but have never been given the chance!) – so what I’m saying to you all is Never give up (& never look back – Haim quote right there BABY!) Always keep trying. Something will always pop up eventually that will take you by surprise. I realise I’m starting to sound like a condescending life guru right now? So I will shut up.

  • Marriage Preparation | QueenBeady

    The weekend of doom & gloom had finally arrived. We had both been dreading this weekend by & large. It was time for us to partake in “Marriage Preparation” for a full 5 hours on a gloomy Saturday. This was to be my first weekend off since December & it had to be filled with the obligatory chat with the the vicar, but wait, it’s gets better. We had to do this in front of a 20 strong crowd of other married couples to be!

    So, James & I rocked up preparing us for the worst, wishing we could be elsewhere. The smiles on our faces during the introduction when they said we may be finished for 3pm (that was a lie!)

    Of course we had the obligatory “how well do you know your partner” quizzes and “what do you rate to be the most important qualities” task. All very kosher stuff. However, when we all turned to page 9 we all looked a little shocked

  • To start or not to start Video Blogging? That is the question | QueenBeady

    It has come to my attention that alot of people like this so called “Video Blogging” I myself have only put pen to paper (or should I say, finger to keyboard!) and have wrote the written word.

    My husband to be, James has gone & bought a very fancy new laptop which has a built in web cam. So curiosity has killed the cat & I am thinking of all the wonderful techy things I can do with it & vblogging (as I have so frequently seen it referred to!) is possibly my first avenue.

    With my experience of radio training I am not one to shy away from a mic but I have to say, my face in front of a camera is enough to make you run for the hills! So my question to my lovely followed & blogging friends is… Is it worth it & do you get a lot out of it. Whilst I know my blog is not the MOST established blog out there but I do hope I reach a wide audience with lots of different posts instead of pigeon holing myself down one route.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts, what would you like to see/hear & how often? I’m hoping to have a play round with it next week without the beady eyes & ears of my partner, as I might get “stage fright” – I am thinking first off a nice OOTD post? I’d love to hear from you all.
