Beauty & Lifestyle

Today was one of those days which calls for a bobble hat. It was a little windy today in Cornwall, but these kind of hats keep your ears and head warm in those colder months.

The one I am wearing is from Primark and I love it! They do all sorts of designs and colours, and they make an outfit super chic.

I've also gone for an autumnal theme with my outfit (All of my outfit if from Primark, but paired with my Marks and Spencer shoes). The jumper I am wearing comes in all different colours and I'm wanting to get my hands on a few more for when winter comes round. It was so warm and the neck line is not too high - It would also look lovely with a chunky neckless or plaid scarf.

Also, how adorable is this skirt?! It's corduroy and in this gorgeous maroon colour (They also have them in black). It was a bargain at £8 and I'm sure that Primark still have these in stores! I would say it runs true to size, I'm wearing a size 8 and it's fits fine.

I also wore these shoes in my previous outfit blog post, but I wanted to show you how you can wear them with different outfits. They are super girly, and I love the vintage feel.

Hello lovelies! - Cornwall have a number of National Trust gardens (if you are a member, you get into those places for free). They are a great day out, and you are able to catch some great photos as the scenery is lovely!
Me and my husband went to visit Trelissick Gardens, which is about 4 miles out of Truro. It's gorgeous and it's set within a stately home with lot's of walking places through the gardens - It was perfect at this time of the year as all the leaves have changed colour and falling on the ground. 

There is also a gift shop and a cafe (We couldn't resist one of their yummy cakes). If you know me, whenever there is a cafe, I just have to try their cakes & hot drinks (festive drinks are a must in November/December!).

This place was the ideal opportunity to show you my outfit. This jumper dress and gilet are from Primark. Primark at the moment have some fab autumn/winter peices! The gilet was £13 and this dress (also has button details on the sleeves) I think was £8 or £10 - bargain!
My shoes are from Marks and Spencer for £35. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them, and they will be so versatile for this time of year. They run quite small (I got a 4.5 UK size - I'm normally a 5) I adore wearing dresses, skirts with tights in the colder months.

Me and my husband are currently staying at Hoar Cross Hall. It's a gorgeous venue in Burton-upon-Trent (for my friends wedding).
We had a look on their website and saw that they do afternoon tea, and you all know how much I love afternoon tea!
I thought I would write a blog post for you so you can see how lovely it is!



They offer 3 different afternoon tea's which you can find:HERE

I would advice you to book beforehand to avoid disappointment. 
We certainty weren't disappointed with this afternoon tea (we did the classic option - £20 each). You get a selection of finger sandwiches, plain and fruit scone with jam & clotted cream and a selection of homemade cakes/macarons.
They do offer a box if you can't eat all of the food - we were stuffed so had to! :)

We would highly recommend this afternoon tea if you are ever in the area. When you book a night stay, you get breakfast and use of the spa facilities (in our room we had a jet bath, so it felt like a spa in the bathroom)

If anyone knows me well, you will know that one of my favourite things to do is go for afternoon tea. I love relaxing with lot's of tea, sandwiches and cake for a few hours enjoying the surroundings.

Me and my husband decided to book a day off work and book our afternoon tea at Crewe Hall. We have been here a few times before and we were very lucky to get married in such a beautiful venue - It's based in Crewe, Cheshire, so if you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend trying this out (booking is essential).  

We managed to purchase a deal through Groupon which was an amazing deal -we are both never disappointed with the food here, it's always to a high standard.



There are two options when booking this afternoon tea. There is the traditional and prosecco version.

You have the option to choose which flavour tea you would like, but you have the option to have traditional breakfast tea (which is always a favourite of mine). You can also choose a variety of coffee (unlimited at no extra cost).

There are a selection of sandwiches, fruit and plain scones with clotted cream and jam and a range of homemade cakes.

If you are would like to book, you can follow the link: HERE
The menu is also available on their website.
