There's a storm brewing
I have been following NY peeps on twitter recently, keeping up to date with things that are happening over there. What I am pleased to hear is that the weather has improved somewhat and a warmer climate is on the way! The last time I was in NY it was the wintery month of November and my husband and I scuttled around the chilly streets, luckily we had each other to keep warm :-) This time however the temperatures look more likely to be in the mid twenties (yah) but I see that thunder storms seem to be forecast for next week~ even the day we arrive... what happens if our plane gets caught up in lightning?? My other worry is what item of footwear will be best... I have my Swedish Hasbeens, Raspberry wedges and brogues all good to go, none of which are waterproof? The rain. The rain. It's NY and I want to look every.single.day.

The Burger
I have just found at that the month of May in NYC celebrates the Burger! I am so pleased to hear this as my mummy Shore likes nothing more than a good burger "I think I'll just have a Burger Milly", so I intend to really celebrate this occasion when we visit. The last time we visited NY my great strong and I ate a whole lot... I am looking forward to doing this again and trying yet more new and exciting places. I hope to have my own restaurant one day, so traveling around and experiencing new finds will no doubt help my own little venture. The Meat Packing District is home to 'Bill's Bar & Burger', I think I had the nicest burger ever here, in a new dress I had bought that day from Urban Outfitters, at a steal too! Good memories that I intend to relive, this time with sister Shore and mummy Shore. Yep, the month of May looks pretty darn good in NY!

Colourful Memories
Last night I was driving down the Manchester motorway, in the dark with the rain splish spolshing on the windscreen, I over took a little bright red Citroen 2CV... my mind was instantly taken back to my childhood summer afternoons, stood up on the backseat of my mum's red & white Citroen. Screaming at the tops of our voices, my sister and cousins "go faster, argh..." We loved it! Back then the summers seemed so long and you had no cares in the world. Now that car was fun in the warm sunny days, but let me tell you, as soon as the sun went in (or didn't even come out) it was a whole other story, I also remember waiting for 25 minutes for the car to warm up, uncomfortable seats, a crackling radio and a gear stick that looked like it could snap off any minute!
Last night however, as I speeded up (in my automatic) I actually had to put my foot down to get past the red 2CV traveling along side me, I couldn't quite believe how fast it was going!
My mum absolutely adored her little Jezzabel (that was the car's name) and I can safely say, I did too. I intend to buy one for when we have our own little family, just hiding away in the garage so that when the sun does shine, we can all jump in and make our own 2CV memories...

A Royal Wedding Party
It's only two more days until the Royal Wedding and I am very much looking forward to it, especially as now we have decided to host a little party of our own for the occasion! We haven't been in our new flat for long, so it'll be a nice way for our friends to see where we live too! I am now frantically on the lookout for Royal memorabilia, bunting, flags and all tastefully tacky items to decorate with...
The party starts at 11am, sandwiches, cakes, punch, Pavlova and Prosecco!
Question is, what does one wear to such an event?!

Twenty from the city
A good friend took me to a new place for lunch on Friday, I always very much value her opinion when it comes to dining out so I was v excited! Twenty minutes from Manchester city centre is Prestwich, home to Aumbry, winner best restaurant award at the Manchester Food and Drink Awards 2010.I had the two courses from the lunch set menu for £17.95, a lovely main course of Rainbow Trout and a most delicious and v sweet dessert of treacle tart served with Earl Grey cream tea... this was something extra special. I have never had such a frothy tea! It was almost cappuccino esque!
The fine dining open white surroundings, combined with a rustic feel is finished off with pretty antique tea cups and chipped white wooden chairs. The room was filled with sunshine pouring through the windows and ended with two glasses of Champagne, it was Friday after all.
Highly recommend! x

Feeling fruity
As the sunshine kicks in, your wardrobe can too! Eccentric clothing is always easier to flaunt when the sun is shining. Here are some cool, kitsch pieces out there at the moment. Take your inspiration from the catwalks and put your mark on it.
Feeling fruity? Yes!
