No Trick all Treat

With Halloween just around the corner I had to share these spooky sparkles from Crystal Inc Boutique. I love any excuse to shop but every year I waste so much money trying to make costumes, which I’ll never wear again. This necklace provides a touch of Halloween but can be worn all year round…

The autumnal colour of the stone is perfect to accompany this seasons jewel colours. At just £8 it really is no trick and all treat! For those who suffer from arachnophobia there’s plenty more to choose from including this cheeky little skull ring only £6…

I’ll never grow out of dooking for apples but this year I think I’ll favour these spooky sparkles over my usual badly made costumes.

Current Obsession

One of the things I love about working in radio is hearing new artists emerge. I love discovering someone new and spending hours on-line listening to all the different songs and versions, the first time you experience them live and the excitement as you get to hear their album for the first time. Lana Del Rey is my newest obsession, her single Video Games was recently added to the West FM playlist. I like to listen to all the new stuff before it goes on-air and when I heard this song I was instantly captivated.

The track is utterly haunting, her voice has a real Hollywood glamour to it with all the tragic connotations that go along with old school Hollywood. I love the grainy quality, the retro feel to the video and the juxtaposition of the fame hungry star and the old footage of photographers. I feared this may be one of those acts that gets the big push but cant back it up with anything but one great track. I was totally wrong. I came across more of her music and fell even deeper for her voice and style. I love the way in Blue Jeans she brings a much more current feel.

Both songs are available now as a double A side http://www.lanadelrey.com/

Home Sweet Home

In this post I thought I’d give you a little insight into me and my life. I work at West FM my local radio station where I present the 10am to 2pm workday slot. A lot of people think the life of a presenter is a crazy and glamorous one filled with champagne and high heels. At times it can be but what I love most is a quiet night at home. I recently moved into a new flat with the Boy Toy (he’s four years younger… I’m a mini cougar) and were slowly but surely turning it into a home...

The perfect blogging spot

It’s got to the time of year I can finally justify sticking on the fire, lighting the candles and having a cosy night snuggled up with a book. I always think I’m a sun worshiper personified and dread the winter every year. As winter creeps in this year I’m finally willing to admit… it’s definitely got it’s good points.

Halloween done classy

I found this dress completely by mistake but it was an instant attraction and an instant purchase...

I was searching for cape coats when I came across this and had to have it. I have an annual formal event in January – I know it’s ages away but with the sales there’s never anything good on the shelves by then. It’s from the Fearne Cotton range for Very, I’ve never ordered from them before but it was pretty straight forward, I ordered it yesterday evening and it’s waiting for me at home as I type….eek!

Far too pretty and expensive to be used as a Halloween costume straight off but in a couple of years when it’s made it way to the back of my wardrobe I’m thinking perfect Morticia Adams dress… it’s all about cost per wear.
