friday happiness.

(delicious dinners, inspiration from here)

(pretty gardens in the middle of town)

(my new sleeping mask, which is almost too good)

(afternoon tea sandwiches with the gorgeous Hannah)

(visiting Cardiff market on a miserable day to pick up dinner ingredients)

(having so much fun planning out our Euro trip...the countdown has started)

(coming home to this set up...pure bliss)

Friday...I love you! Even if I still have work tomorrow, I am so happy it's Friday night. George and I have had the most perfectly relaxed evening. He's off for the whole weekend, no classes or anything. So, on Sunday we are off to visit a little village in the Cotswolds. I could not be more excited to see more of the U.K.

Have a great weekend!

food inspiration: a little bit of everything.

(chunky veg soup)

(refreshing pink cocktail)

(split pea sunshine & saffron soup)

(open steak sandwhich with onions and barbecue sauce)

(yummy sweet pie)

(grapefruit margarita)

(roasted roots & spinach salad with lemon tahini dressing)

(salted caramel chocolate fudge cake)

A few scrumptious looking recipes which have recently been making my mouth water. Currently obsessed with soups, cocktails of any sort, easy sandwiches, winter vegetables and the perfect cake.

Found all these via Pinterest and they have made me so excited to get back in the kitchen. This week I haven't been organised enough to make something delicious to share on here. But after all this inspiration, I don't think I will be stumped again, with what to make.

a glimpse of sarah.

Starting from today, I thought it would be nice to showcase a few of my favourite bloggers over a little Q&A. What better way then to start with Sarah Tucker? I think, and I am sure most of you will agree, that she is the most beautiful person inside and out. Her blog is a dream land of weddings, love, style, yummy food, incredible travels and happiness. If you haven't stumbled upon her blog then, after reading this, do yourself a favour and check it out for yourself.

WHO:

Sarah Tucker

FROM:
Fairy Tales are True

You in a nutshell?

I am a hopeless Romantic who is constantly crushing on my husband. A wedding stylist and coordinator.

Your idea of a perfect day?
I'd wake up in Positano, at Le Sirenuse to be exact. All of my loved ones would be there as well. We would spend the day boating around, hopping into grottos, and we would pop over to Capri for lunch. I would spend the afternoon reading by the ocean, snapping photos, kissing, laughing, a little wine would be had. Dinner would be at some ridiculously delicious trattoria. I'd fall asleep smiling.

What can't you live without?

My clarisonic, my puppy lola (the adorable little thing to the right), and LOVE.

4. What are three things on your bucket list?
Visit Halong Bay in Vietnam, Have and raise loving children, and learn to sail.

5. What are you currently dreaming about?
All of my upcoming weddings, future travels, a one day baby. oh and always the ocean. but that doesn't mean that day need be soon! (:

6. Your daily reads?
so many! I love lifestyle blogs. I can always count on Sophie to make me smile. Meg to make me laugh. Bridget and Jenni to make me see things a little differently, in a really good way. Katie for some style and hair tips. Fam and Friend Blogs!

7. Who's someone you admire?

I admire dreamers that do. my genius friend crissy started the thought for food challenge and initiative! It's amazing to see it all unfold. and it all started with her! anyone who dreams big like that, has got my admiration. of course, my mother! saint of a woman, that beautiful lady. my huz!

8. What are some of the littlest things which make you happy?

Chocolate, wine, puppy kisses, peonies, the smell of gardenias, the ocean, garlic, a good book, brunch with girlfriends, bike rides, sparkling water, lavender, long baths, cooking, good hugs, lemons... the little things are the best. Soph totally has this right!
