March in Photos

After seeing similar posts floating around the blogging world, I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon & share a snapshot of my month in photos. I was lucky enough to spend March in the company of my family and friends whilst splitting my time between Birmingham & my hometown back in the countryside.

As most of you will know in March we celebrate Mother's Day here in the U.K. Of course this was the perfect excuse for me to jump in the car & travel back home for a long weekend. During this time I treated my Mum to afternoon tea (just look at those cakes), became a crazy cat lady with my favourite furry animal again & also visited a quirky cafe where the sugar pots are mini-cauldrons (if you're ever in Gloucester I couldn't recommend the Hubble Bubble Coffee House more!).

Towards the end of the month I was finally able to go & watch the new Beauty and the Beast - which has swiftly become my new favourite Disney film. If you haven't yet seen it I won't post any spoilers, but it's a great take on a timeless classic that I can't wait to see again (side note, there are also some great new songs!). This little Disney boost inspired me to dust off the Minnie & Mickey plush's I picked up in Disneyland at Christmas (click here to read all about the trip) who now take centre place on my bed.. yes I really am 25!

I was also lucky enough to enjoy a few glasses of wine with some of my nearest & dearest friends - something I find is the perfect pick-me-up after a long week at work!

I'm now very excited too see what April has to offer & to *hopefully* welcome some warmer weather.. (in other words I'm more than ready to dig out my Spring wardrobe).

How was your March?
I'd love to know in the comments.

Kate Spade ft. Minnie Mouse

If there's one thing I love, it has to be Disney. This - of course - means that as soon as I hear about any Disney collaborations, I will instantly be researching everything I possibly can (for those who have been reading my blog for a while now, my all about my MAC ft. Cinderella saga is a prime example of this). So as soon as I heard that Kate Spade (the creator of the most gorgeous & chic handbags) had teamed up with Disney, I knew straight away that I simply had to have a peek for myself.

The collaboration itself - Kate Spade New York For Minnie Mouse - is a limited edition collection that is described as "celebrating our shared love for polka dots and a well placed bow". Which is honestly one of the most adorable things I have ever heard (although I may be a little Disney-biased).

Whilst not all items seem to have fully released onto the UK website as of yet, after a little research (aka swooning over how pretty everything is) I've managed put together a few of my favourite items.

The first item to catch my eye was the adorable Minnie Mouse handbag. Whilst the design does obviously feature the famous Disney Character, I feel it has been done in a chic & classic way - meaning it can easily be used on a day-to-day basis without fear of looking too bold (if there even is such a thing when it comes to Disney).

The next item on my list had to be the Minnie Mouse iPhone case (designed to fit both iPhone 6 and 6s models). What better way to show your love for all things Disney than a super cute phone case? Plus - as an added bonus - this case features both Mickey & Minnie Mouse.. the ultimate relationship goal.

Last but not least is one of my favourite items from the collection, the Minnie Bow Clasp clutch bag. In contrast to both the handbag and phone case this item - whilst gorgeous - is a much more subtle nod towards Disney. So much so, that people may not even realise the bow symbolises a love for Minnie Mouse at all - perfect for a sophisticated night out where it may not be fully appropriate fully show how much you love Disney.

As a lover of all things Disney related I would be proud to have any of the above within my collection.

What are your thoughts on the Kate Spade ft. Minnie Mouse collection?
