Beauty & Lifestyle


Summery dresses are one of my go to statements in my wardrobe. They can be simple or floral, but each one is easy to style with either flats or heels if you want to go that girly look.

I booked a day off work and decided to go for afternoon tea at a place called Crewe Hall. It has amazing grounds and I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to take a few shots of this dress that I got recently.





Believe it or not, I managed to spot this Red Herring dress in a charity shop for a bargain price! 
It's in fab condition and the quality is lovely.
I love the belt which pulls in at the waist and then flows out like a skater dress. It falls just above the knees which gives this dress a classy feel. I paired it with my Clarks heels which are super comfy!

This dress is perfect for days like today, but also if you are attending a wedding as a guest or even for a day at the races.

I love playsuits. They are such a simple outfit idea, but can make you look really feminine and girly. This New Look one is gorgeous (I've had it for a couple of years now, but online, they still do some really great ones). I love the flower design and paired with these Primark sandals, gives this outfit a summery look.

I like the cut out design in the middle, as it's not showing too much skin, but just a little to give this look a much more classy feel.

Hello Sweetie Cupcakery is a cafe in York Place (arcade) in Newcastle-Under-Lyme town centre. If you are looking for a cafe that has everything to please your sweet tooth, then this is a place that you need to visit!
The staff are super friendly and welcoming and it makes the whole experience so much nicer.

They have dotted around, quotes on the walls (which are cute touches) & old fashioned pictures of Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra which gives the place a nice 1950's/1960's feel!



They are known for their yummy cupcakes which are all home made and they taste so good! There are also other home made bakes too, including these two which are traditional polish cheesecake & rocky road.

My husband went for the Kit Kat cupcake & I went for the Cookies & Cream. 
There's so many more choices from: Crunchie, Maple & Pecan, Jaffa Cake etc.


They not only do sweet treats, but also savory choices too! I had a bagel with cream cheese & salmon and it tasted lovely! My husband had a toastie - with a choice of filling from, cheese, ham & cheese or ham, cheese & tomato.

There is a wide range of hot and cold drinks available from tea, coffees, hot chocolate, milkshakes.

A loyalty card is available for you to collect stamps. Once you have collected 6 stamps you can get a free cupcake!

It really is a lovely cafe, and I would highly recommend going there if you are ever in the area :)

It's been a glorious weekend here in the UK and I thought no better time to explore the outdoors and stop off at a coffee shop for a bite to eat. 
We both had a walk around Trentham Garden centre - which is a garden centre in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire. They have a huge garden which you can spend a day there with a picnic, and on a hot summer day, it's a really lovely day out - The gardens are is separate from the garden centre and is an extra cost.

We decided to stop off at a cafe called Manna kitchen. It's located just next to the entrance to the gardens.

My husband had a chicken & pesto toastie, a rocky road cake & a hot chocolate - how cute is this drink presented in this mason jar! Great idea!
I went for their carrot cake & a cup of tea. Their carrot cake is gorgeous - lovely and moist and the cream cheese frosting is so yummy too!

What I like about this cafe is the rustic feel with the plates and cups. I love little touches like that :)

Here, you can share your photo online of the gardens and you could have yours featured here!

They offer all sorts of food, from soup of the day, toasties, baguettes, cakes, cookies, muffins and brownies. They also have a number of hot and cold drinks which cater for everyone.
They have a board to show specials and also deals with tea or coffee and a slice of cake.


I always like to try out different cafe's and one's that are tucked away and have a quirky feel to them.

What new cafe's have you tried recently?
