  • DISCOVER YORKSHIRE + WIN WITH SYKES COTTAGES* | QUEENBEADY

    DISCOVER YORKSHIRE + WIN WITH SYKES COTTAGES* | QUEENBEADY

    I am Yorkshire, through and through. This place makes my heart sing. With gorgeous scenery from the Dales to the Moors, with vibrant, cosmopolitan cities such as Leeds & York. Even the lesser known beauties such as Ilkey Moor, Wakefield Sculpture Park and more. There is without a doubt something to tickle everyone’s fancy. Growing up we spent a lot of time in our caravan in a little place called, Sowerby which is just up the road from Bridlington. We’d spend days heading to Whitby, Filey and Flamborough Head and getting ice-cream drunk and eating fresh fish & chips. The simplicity of it all is exactly what I love about holidaying here in the UK!

    CELEBRATING 20 YEARS WITH WHITE ROSE, LEEDS #WR20YEARS | QUEENBEADY

    Who doesn’t love a good ol’ shopping spree? Not me, that’s for certain! With any opportunity to give my plastic some serious thrashing, I am always ready & raring to go. Ya feel me? And when White Rose, Leeds asked me to style three mannequins for their 20th Birthday Celebrations, I could not have been more involved if I had tried. To celebrate them opening in ’97 (I will have been 7. Yes, 7 years old) we were given £97 per mannequin to create three unique looks. The sheer prospect of it was enough to make me giddy.

    ROME IN INSTAGRAM SQUARES | QUEENBEADY

    I don’t know why I’ve not done this before. Instagram is such a huge part of my life & blog that it strikes me as odd that I’ve never done any travel posts like this. Instagram is such a great tool for sharing snippets out of your day, be it fashion outfits, travel experiences or even a banging avo on toast post (I’m a poet, don’t I know it) and recently when I headed to Rome I could not stop myself from snapping away all the amazing sights that the beautiful, historic city has to offer.

    I think we sometimes think we forget that getting away from it all can include staying on home turf. With this day and age of social media, you must forgive everyone for wanting to jump on one because so-and-so is doing it. Don’t get me wrong, heading to foreign lands is one of my fave things to do, but sometimes just jumping in the car and driving for a couple of hours can be much less stressful. No remembering passports, security checks and hours sat waiting in departure lounges to get to your chosen destination. So when Darwin Escapes asked me to come and trial run one of their latest, luxury holiday lodge parks – I was more than ready for it.

    CELEBRATING GALENTINES DAY | QUEENBEADY

    We all need that time with our sisterhood, do you feel me? A day of pure indulgence, shopping till you max your cards out (oops, no I didn’t, I promise) and catch ups are always the order of the day when my sister & I get together. PrezzyBox helped us out too, with a gift card for Patisserie Valerie so we could rest our weary bones after a long day shopping because of course, you need a sit down and also an hour to stuff cakes and pastries down ya’ neck too. (Did I just do another oops?)
