    I love Lamberts Yard, Leeds. It has this cool, urban, city chic feel to it. With it’s exposed red brick work, high ceilings and steel lighting fixtures it’s hard not to feel like you are in a super cool place in Brooklyn, NYC. The thing with Lamberts yard is that it houses a multitude of functions, those being a café downstairs, an exhibition space and it’s also home to some emerging, up and coming fashion lines too. I was invited, along with some of my fellow bloggers, to come and see their AW15 showcase of the new collections at their launch event #ThePowderRoom.

    Double Denim ASOS
    Suede Coat Mango | Denim Shirt ASOS | Jeans Armani | Shoes Dorothy Perkins

    Yes, I’ve been living under a rock for the last year. I’ve never picked up on the double denim craze, but when I saw that ASOS had this lovely denim shirt in the sale it was pretty hard to resist. I never really thought it would work on a more curvier girl like myself, and whilst I’ll not look like the models on the runway or in the Levis campaigns I thought I dug it pretty well. You see, it falls back in to that 70’s style category that I seem to love so much. My wardrobe is 95% filled with suede, cord and those brown/red colours at the moment. I just don’t seem to be able to move from the style & it’s proven that it’s to stay a while longer with this gracing every high street shop for the last year or so.

    Coat Matalan | T-Shirt New Look | Jeans C/O Warehouse at House of Fraser | Wellies Hunters

    Je’Taime Beacoup Sunday (or should I have said Dimanche, if we’re really pushing the boat out?) I like Sunday’s. No in fact, I’d go as far as saying I love Sunday’s. It’s the day of rest & it’s the perfect opportunity for being lazy and over indulging in doing whatever the heck you like. We’d had a pretty easy-going Sunday morning just passed, drinking tea in bed & trying to find our next trip on the laptop that it soon reached noon & with the rest of the day ahead we decided it was time for some fresh air & to stretch our little dogs legs!

    Lash Perfect by Beth at The Works, Tadcaster | QueenBeady

    Beth The Works Tadcaster

    Okay, so you like beauty & you buy all the products in the sun to feel good. But what if I told you that something so simple could make you feel a million dollars without having to put a slap of expensive foundation on? For me I’ve never really been in to beauty, queue the rolling eyes at the fact that I’m doing a beauty post, but hear me out. I’m very lucky, I have pretty alright skin. I’m freckly but I can work with that – it makes me a little unique and I’m proud of my ”angel kisses” as they are often referred to, but hey a girl needs a little pick me up every once in while. Am I right? My beauty regime consists of getting my lashes done. That’s it. I get them done by Beth at The Works, Tadcaster who uses Lash Perfect to create the perfect set.

    Lady Betty Afternoon Tea Bettys 1

    I’m a York girl through & through. Growing up in such a beautiful city, with so much culture, history and landscape is something I am forever grateful for. Ask me where I spent my summers as a teenager, the answer would be York Museum Gardens, that would be anyone’s answer. Where were you guaranteed that everyone would meet before they went for a trawl around town and the resounding answer would be York fountain (I can’t believe that they are demolishing it soon?) and hey, where did I get my first pair of baggy, pink cords. Hello, Forever Changes, DUH. The little emo/punk rock kid in me is squealing inside remembering all those great memories. But the one thing that is synonymous with York, both for those young & old is the iconic Betty’s Tearoom. Every weekend we would see streams of tourists snaking round the building on St.Helen’s Square & it was no different on this foggy Saturday morning. I was asked to come along and sample the Lady Betty’s Afternoon Tea in the Belmont Room & give my verdict on this famous York delicacy.
