The Return!

So I’m back from my long needed break, and can say I had an absolutely fab time away to the beautiful coasts of Cornwall. Boy, did I pick the right week to go away? – hot, hot, hot! And I’ve got some anything-but-attractive tan lines to prove it.

I relaxed on the beach in St Ives, shopped in the streets of Penzance, and went on beautiful boat trips in Falmouth. I visited the world famous open-air theatre, The Minack, was invited to a dinner party by an old fisherman full of character, and climbed the hundreds of stairs at Tintagel Castle.

Here are a few pictures of the beautiful views I had the privilege of experiencing: 

However, it has to be said, there is nothing better than your own bed (:

Sun, sea and sand, here I come!

So I’m off on a nice, relaxing, and well deserved holiday this week to the beautiful coasts of Cornwall. Despite living in this country for a very close nineteen years, it’ll be my first time! I’m hoping for some great sights, relaxing beaches and great summer nights- and not to forget the gorgeous surfers that I’ll be keeping a very close eye on And to top it all off, the sun has finally come out to say hello!! Keep your fingers crossed that it’ll be here to stay! Us English girlies deserve to build up our tans, and show off our beach bods that we’ve been working ever so hard on.

I’ll be away for a week or two, and promise to make up for my absence as soon as I arrive back! Hold me to that

So, to get England into the Summer feeling, here are a few of my favourite spring/summer 2012 campaigns that just radiate sunshine:

See you all very soon, Hannah-Mae ox

I’m back!

Sorry about that little break, guys. This is just a little note to say don’t worry, …

… and ready to roll, with a bunch of posts coming your way!!

Much love, Hannah-Mae oxox

Midis, Maxis, and May

Edited by: Victoria of vmac+cheese

When I was a little kid, it was tough to find me in anything other than pants or shorts. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I was a tom boy…but skirts and dresses just weren’t my thing. Fast forward 20+ years, and I’ve finally seen the light. Flowy skirts and pretty dresses not only lend an instant ladylike vibe to your look, but they’re also insanely comfortable. This week, plenty of bloggers are embracing the warmer temps with midi and maxi skirts, easy cotton dresses, and all in bold summer colors, natch. They’re looks that even my 7 year old self would’ve approved of!

Angelina Jolie’s ring is estimated to have cost around $250,000!

Robert Procop, the couple’s private jeweller, revealed that ‘Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina’s hand. Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.’

What do you think of the ring?
