Such an amazing adventure! All thanks to my brilliant sister. The best Christmas present ever, a ticket to the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour!
Potter glasses purchased and on our excited faces, we were ready to enter Potter World!
Waiting anxiously in front of the doors to the Great Hall, our adventure was about to begin!
Real Film Sets, Costumes, Wands, Broomsticks, Props, Animals, Cars, Buses and Butterbeer, this place was truly magical.
Diagon Alley was by far the best part of the tour. It was so real and you actually felt you were part of the Harry Potter crew while you walked the cobbled streets!
Models and Cad drawings, Concept Art and Architectural Sketches, leads you through until you turned the corner to the final breath taking view of the 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts.
It was awesome. So intricate and flawless, no wonder it was used as the actual Hogwarts in the film!
Harry Potter World is a Magical, Educational and fun day out. I'd recommend it to any HP fan, no matter what age you are!
Fashion and Home for the realist. Pictures, articles, customising and ideas!

Lion Medallion
Just a little purchase i wanted to share with you in the form of this Versace inspired Medallion I found in H&M last week. I just had to have it.
I loved the Lions heroic face and thought it looked a lot more expensive than the £7.99 i paid for it.

Ladybower Damn Hiking Expedition!
Myself and my Husband visited our sister and her boyfriend this weekend in sunny Sheffield. She has recently purchased a new car, so thought it nice to take us out of the City and into the Peaks for a expedition!
We arrived at Ladybower Damn in about half an hour, had a hearty mix of warm homemade soup and crisps, then set out on our adventure.
With my Fur Coat, LV rucksack and my new Native Indian Cat jumper, i felt like i fitted in perfectly with the professional hikers!
We hiked, climbed, slipped, laughed, puffed and panted for approximately 3 hours! It was a beautiful place, with a lot more to explore.
Here's a few photos!

Amazing ipad Cases
How amazing are these Manish Arora iPad cases! Metallic leathers adorned with crystals and beading make these cases so uniquely exquisite. This is one of the first shows that i have seen to really show off the ipad case. I really don't think anybody could top these amazing gems!

Crispy White and Magical
If only we could move Christmas to January! It's colder, it snows and it's definitely a lot more Christmassy! It's been -8 degrees in my Rutland village, my cars broke down and it's so slippery, I've even have to wear flats! Apart from that, it has been absolutely beautiful and given me some great photo opportunities.
Here's some winter wonderland shots of my village and Burghley House.

Cara Delevingne. My new Favourite model
My heart will always be with Kate Moss and her amazing career, but Miss Delevingne has caught my attention with her 'no fuss' attitude and effortless beauty.
20 year old, London born Delevingne is signed to Storm model Management and is currently the face of Burberry.
Being described by British Vogue as "star face" of the autumn/winter 2012-2013 show season, she has appeared on the catwalk for Chanel, Fendi, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry. She has also been hand picked to walk down the catwalk as an 'Angel' for the 2012 Victoria's Secret fashion show. Pretty impressive for a 20 year old, who also won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.
Keep up the good work Cara!

Christmas Spirit
Had an amazing time in London this weekend, really got in the Christmas spirit and now can't wait to put up my tree! Our first port of call was the sophisticated and eclectic Liberty emporium. Established in 1875, it is, in my opinion the most beautiful store I've ever seen. With all of its original oak staircases that creak with every step and it's old fashioned glamour, it really was a dream to browse through. The top floor Christmas shop really got me in the mood for our afternoon matinee at The Palladium to watch Scrooge! All in all an amazing Christmas fuelled, family day out!

All That Shines
Finding good costume jewellery is sometimes hard to come by, the choices seem to be high street tat or overpriced Pandora styled charm bracelets.
On a recent trip to London, I stumbled across Butler and Wilson and was in bling heaven! So much sparkle and glitz I didn't know where to start first. But London is 90 miles away from me, I needed somewhere closer, on my doorstep in fact!
I'm a sucker for anything that sparkles and shines, so when I was introduced to a new shop in Peterborough that sold just that, I couldn't say no!

Custom Cons
I am an avid fan of the classic Converse and own many colours, but none as amazing as the ones I purchased in Office last week!
Bluewater was the culprit for this random purchase that I didn't even need! I was sucked in by their window display and quite clearly couldn't resist on this occasion!
Soft black distressed leather with silver studded sides and a leopard print panel running down the back! Amazing.
Within five minutes they'd been on my feet and in a bag and out the shop without a thought to their £85 price tag! Double the cost of a normal pair of Cons, but my god they're worth it. I believe they'll be a limited number of them produced and will sell out fast, being only available at Office.
They also do two other styles, a full fur leopard print version and a leopard print and studded.
Giving the Converse a run for their money are Nike's latest offering, the Blazers. They have brought out the Pony Skin swoosh exclusive edition. The black with pink swoosh are amazing! These are slightly cheaper at £69.99
