The Saturday Files

Lifestyle Nottingham

My Saturdays have been a little crazy recently, we had our mini break to Oxford, we visited my parents back in Bath (hey, Grillstock!) and I spent a Saturday shooting some awesome photos for the blog with Anna from Pear & Bear Photography too. I love being busy but my Saturdays are always the best when they’re lazy. Usually, I head to Crossfit for 8am for an interval session and to catch up with the team there. Then, I head home, grab some breakfast and tidy round the house before we head into town for some lunch or just a coffee. Read More

11 Props Every Blogger Needs

Home & Interiors Lifestyle

This is by no means a photography masterclass. I’m constantly working on my photography and feel like it’s improved but I know I’ve definitely got a long way to go with it. One thing I’ve learnt along my blogging journey, if you could call it that, is the fact that props are everything. We may not all be blessed with gorgeous apartments, marble kitchen work surfaces, and amazing light all the time but you can fake it ’til you make it with the addition of some seriously good props.

Leather Goods

Fashion

This leather skirt is one of my closet veterans. I say that because it’s been in my wardrobe for longer than two years which is a long stint as far as my clothes are concerned. This is because it’s amazing quality, the fit is spot on and it will never go out of style. This is the type of piece that you can easily dress up or play down and most of the time I play my denim down. This is a classic outfit for me. Navy + stripes + black + trainers = everyday uniform. It’s actually a shocker there’s no denim in sight! Read More

Save VS Spend: The Swimsuit Edition

Fashion

I’m off to Greece in a few weeks and I really want a swimsuit for this summer’s holiday, I just think they look really cool for days out when you’re doing activities like quad biking or sailing. I prefer this to having a bikini on when I’m being active on holiday. I’ve been shopping around and trying to find the best fit and I’ve been torn between getting a cheap and cheerful one and investing a little bit more. I’m yet to find the perfect suit so I thought I’d pop together a little Save VS Spend on the topic! Read More

Where To Eat In Bath: Grillstock

Food & Drink Travel

I’ve heard Grillstock is where the whole BBQ trend in the UK and, as much of a BBQ food fan that I am, I hadn’t visited one until last month.

I was craving a chicken burger and opted for the Bluegrass Chicken Burger which is a simple Southern Fried chicken burger (which is huge by the way!) it’s paired with lettuce, tomato, and juke sauce which is so tasty. This is possibly the nicest chicken burger I’ve had in a long time, the chicken was tender and I loved the seasoning. Plus, it was such good value for money at only £8.50 including a heap of house fries. Read More
