What makes this shoot even more exciting is that it was shot by the awesome Kylee from Kytography. This is a lady to watch! Kylee has a great way of catching…

tieks – The Perfect Ballet Flat
Posted on 16 April, 2013 | No CommentsIf you are anything like me, heels are not necessarily my go to accessory. I spend my days in Vans and Converse, so wearing heels can be a bit of a shock for my feet. When I am travelling or feel like an old pair of trainers wont do the job what do I wear?

Feeling Fit and Healthy For Your Wedding
Posted on 5 February, 2013 | 1 CommentWhen I got married I didn’t freak out and go on a crazy diet or work out for 4 hours a day, I had loads of other things to think about so why worry about dropping 2 dress sizes.
