Arrived into New York this afternoon to triple digit temperatures (mid-thirties) and it feels like heaven. Strolled along the beach in Long Island, dipped my feet into the Atlantic, watched old men fish for crabs, and stuffed myself silly on the best buffalo wings I have ever eaten. Even though England definitely feels like my home… it’s always nice to remember you’ve got another one waiting for you across the pond.
After ‘umm-ing’ and ‘ahhhh-ing’ for ages I finally decided to bite the bullet and order a pair of wedges from my-wardrobe. The problem was, as you might have read, they didn’t have my favourite pair in the right size. Instead of opting for second best, I went for my top choice (in one size too small) in the hope that they would magically fit. If you follow me on Twitter you might know that I was keeping them a secret. I was afraid that if I started getting too excited it would somehow jinx it. Well, they just arrived and I am beyond pleased to say that they are perfect (I think the shoe fairy has been at work on this one). So, here they are in all their 10cm high glory…. my new Mentor suede lace up wedges. They don’t look like much in the photo but they are gorgeous, so soft to walk in, and my new favourite shoes. I’m wearing them around the house but keeping their street initiation saved for a special occasion next month….
Five years ago today this girl very nervously walked down the aisle to marry her high school sweet heart. I was late to the ceremony, which caused mild hysteria, and couldn’t make it through my vows without crying. It was, however, with a doubt the most memorable and life changing day of my life. Never before had I felt surrounded by such love, encouragement and joy. The last five years have been better than I could have ever hoped for which makes me delirious at the thought of what the next five (ten, fifty?!) might be like. Thank you Freddy for being the most precious and loving husband a girl could ever have. When I wrote that list back when I was ten about what I wanted my future husband to be it was short and sweet: ‘able to play the piano & says bless you every time I sneeze.’ Luckily, you were those things but so much more…
