3 Months till the Big Day | QueenBeady
As many of you know our impending wedding is quickly encroaching on us thick & fast. In fact, today marks the 3 months pit stop for the momentous big day.

Today is the last day for invites to arrive so I’m hoping we can crack on with the seating plan very soon. I’m receiving texts from my mum about the table

clothes (Which I would like to add is a God Send that she is sorting this!). I even have my mother-in-law to be questioning if the bridesmaids should have flowers (?!?!). It’s non stop & I imagine it is all going to continue in the same manner for the next 3 months ahead.

With most of the ”big stuff” sorted, I need a little guidance from my fellow wedded or Bride-to-be blogger friends to give me a little insight into their ”Order of Service” cards? I have absolutely NO IDEA where to start on that one. Would be great to hear from any of you who have put these together! I think a day sat on my laptop on google & pinterest is going to be the order of the day!… GET IT? That was a TERRIBLE joke.

So here is a long list of things I still need to do:
- List of songs for the Band
- Choose our First Dance song
- Seating Plan
- Times of the day
- A list of photos I’d like our lovely Photographer, Jenny Prest to capture
- DECORATIONS?! (A trip to hobby craft is in order!)
- Hair trial/Make Up trial
- PAY EVERYONE!
I’m pretty sure there will be plenty more in the pipe line, but my little brain is fried at the moment. So see ya later whilst I fester in a little wedding type pit of worry & pressure! Toodles.

Danielle Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

Today I bring you the second instalment of my outfit inspiration posts of the bands I love. Last time I posted an outfit dedicated to the oldest sister Este which you can find here!

Danielle is the middle sister and quite notably the lead singer of the band (however I sometimes think Estes vocals are a little better. Please don’t shoot me!) she is definitely the dark/mysterious type who takes a back seat whilst her two siblings completely goof off all the time. Her style is much more simple compared to them as well.

1. This monochrome striped tee is so bang on trend at the moment & I can so totally see Danielle wearing this with her effortless style. This cute top is from New Look and costs a very pocket saving £14.99! Perfect.

2. YIKES! I love this rope necklace from Miss Selfridge and another steal at £12.50 I think I might have to treat myself on payday. I have a very similar gold rope style necklace that I never want to take off!

3. Look at these super effortless Imitation Leather trousers from H&M. They are totally in tune with Danielle’s style. Tight, black & leather = spot on. And they are even more spot on at a lovely £19.99 price tag.

4. Ahhh the time old classic converse shoe. I want a pair of these every year but for some reason my purse strings do not allow it. A festival staple that every girl needs. Available at Schuh at £42 – I think I need to start saving!

5. Danielle is always found with some sort of leather jacket. I picked up she wore the biker style jacket with no sleeves & I found this one at Topshop which fitted the bill perfectly. It’s not such a bad price at £45 either!i can see her rocking out in it now.

So there you have it, my guide to Danielle Haim’s very cool and laid back style.

Este Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

I’ve decided to so a series post that will be weekly for all my lovely readers & followers. Having seen these sorts of style posts I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon but try do something a little different.

I love fashion and following both the high street & the catwalk, but what really inspires me the most are the bands and singers that I really love! so I thought I’d kick off my first blog post by starting with 1/3 of my favourite band EVER! The gorgeous and hilarious Este HAIM.

1. This gorgeous dress is from the fabulous Lavish Alice I chose this dress because quite simply, it oozes Estes style to an absolute tee. Priced at £58.00 you hope you are going to get a nice quality piece of clothing.

2. These incredibly super duper cool biker shoes from Missguided are perfect for the feet. If you are on your feet alot you want to look cool but at the same time not have poorly feet at the end of it. For £37.99 I thought this was such a reasonable price for some biker style boots. Perfect sized heel & perfect for Estes style

3. Frilly socks? Say no more. They create that perfectly girly & innocent look that tones down the slightly hardcore/grungey look that Este pulls off so well. Some how she still manages to keep it quite feminine. Priced at £3.50 from Topshop they are an ABSOLUTE steal!

4. I LOVE this necklace. The very tribal-esque look is still bang on trend and quite frankly just pull this whole outfit together. I can totally see this type of jewellery rocking out at every festival this year. And it’s only £12.50 from Miss Selfridge

5. Last but it least I bring you the most AWESOME rose gold metallic leather jacket from River Island I mean this is a ridiculous splurge piece, priced at £140.00 but WOW! Whilst I don’t think I could be so daring I imagine Este would absolutely love this piece!

There you have it, my style guide to Este Haims wardrobe inspiration. Keep your eyes peeled for another sister from HAIM very soon. Quite frankly I love you & your style – AMAZING!

If you liked this post let me know with your comments it’s great to hear from all my followers & readers!

New job, fresh start & achieving dreams | QueenBeady

I am so so so so sooooooo happy to announce that I have been offered a job within the Events, Marketing & Digital experience industry. I of course accepted!

I have been in travel for nearly 8 years & if you go back to my very first blog post I go on & on about it and I love(d) it. Sadly, everything has changed. Now, I am not adverse to change as I have embraced it with my new job, however the changes made in my company were big (& bad!) I was ready to fly the “travel nest” and finally do something I have wanted to do for quite some time. I have toyed & toyed with the idea and when I finally found this job advertised I knew I had to get an interview.

I don’t have fancy university degrees (however, I applaud you if you have!) which has made me feel slightly inadequate at times, but I have just proved to myself you don’t need to do that to fulfil your dreams & passions. I worked hard on both my interviews and especially my 2nd. I made a presentation & everything, (left no stone unturned!) and it really paid off & I am so delighted that they gave me the chance and opportunity to bring my skills to the role.

I get even more excited when I see why clients they have worked with too! It is a dream come true & I just cannot wait to get stuck in on the 31st March.

My new journey & adventure begins so BUH BYE travel industry!

Thinking of Spring | QueenBeady

I caught a glimpse of my first daffodil tonight. It made me feel… hopeful. With my grandad still in hospital it’s been non stop & has been hectic to say the least.

I find winter the worst season of all. Although its been a mild one I despair of the shorter days & dark nights. I long for the warmer days and the nights where you can sit in the garden with a nice fruit cider and the BBQ on full swing.

I see hope.

There is blossom on the trees. Daffodils blooming and flowers are starting to sprout. It all means that everything is getting closer to spring & summer.

Whilst its not making my grandad any better it’s making me feel much more positive. As we are getting ever closer to the big wedding day, my grandad is making small but steady steps. To all my bloggers friends, hope & pray for me that one of the main men in my life is there to enjoy our special day with us.

Spring is nearly here & I can feel into my waters that everything is going to be ok.
