Admit it - you love a challenge. In fact, your fervour for challenges is only superseded by one thing...
the thrill of A BARGAIN. With this in mind - today's post kind of wrote itself: set myself a ridiculous challenge in a thinly veiled attempt to legitimise my obsessive vintage shopping habit (this blogging thing sure has its benefits - Lisa actually sounded impressed when I told her I was off to spend our money...). So, with the Glasgow sun shining (expect to see this comment again in June), £30 flush in my pocket, a song in my heart and your help (thanks Instagram chums)... that's exactly what I did.

Australia - it's time to sort your shit out

On Love is in the Detail two brides celebrate marriage in UK while same-sex marriage remains illegal in Australia.
This week my wonderful wife Lisa and I marked 6 months since the magnificent day when we - surrounded by the people we adore - publicly declared our love, making our wedding vows to each other with all the gravity they deserve. Yet as we sit here, still radiating in the joy of this milestone event, it's impossible for me to ignore the pathetic state-of-affairs deeming it illegal for couples like Lisa and I to be married in the country I am ordinarily so proud to call home. I mean, come on. ​

Happy Valentine's Day lovely person.
I would absolutely hate Valentine's Day if I wasn't such a soppy sucker. V Day is really just an an excuse to conduct myself with the kind of dreamy suggestiveness I wish I had the stamina to pull off every day  (most  days I fail even to shower). Lisa and I have a couple of traditions when observing this, the most cringey of holidays...

Time: 
​1 hour

I know, I know - you're completely over bunting. Now more rampant than rats, rabbits and Cher impersonators combined, I get that this post is coming in 3-5 years too late.  I'm stubbornly sharing it here for two reasons:
  1. I bloody love bunting
  2. I once purchased a lovely string of bunting, only to realise - not three weeks later upon picking up  needle and thread - that it is easier to make than a sandwich (my general reference point for life). Yes, I'm still miffed.

A bit of polyester goes a long way... why I'm embracing the 80s

We needn’t mentioned here that I’m a sucker for pin-up style.  Let’s face it, there are certain hip-to-waist ratios that prevent one from wearing anything but full-circled skirts... or a muumuu.  This is not something I am unhappy about. When you’re as irritatingly theatrical as I am, skipping through your day as if an extra in a Lucille Ball film is hardly a chore. A need, equivalent to that of breathing, to belt everything placed on my body is a blissful reality.

In relaunching the blog under its new moniker (redesign and general jazziness still to come), I wanted the first post to be a little DIY 'how to' on wedding favour bags for a few reasons:
