Kim's boudoir marathon

kim5

Occasionally you meet people whom you just click with straight away. When Kim walked into the hotel room with her mum, her arms laden down with suitcases, I knew this would be one of those times.
With a cheeky smile, she said she couldn't decide what to bring with her for her shoot...and so she fetched about half the contents of her wardrobe!
We got our heads together and with some careful styling, hey presto! Look at what we achieved. She looks AMAZING! And those outfits? Kim, they were perfect! As you can tell, I especially loved this fabulous kimono that she fetched! It was amazing!
On a side note, I have to point out that all the makeup for this shoot was done by my sister Keeley. Watch out for some exciting news regarding that soon!

Keep checking back from more hot shots from Kim's boudoir marathon on Sunday! Oooohhheeehh I thought all of my Christmasses had come at once.
She was the perfect model, knew just how to pose and totally went for it...to such an extent that she even climbed in the window to see what that shot turned out like. And I will tell you, it's one of my favourites!
Keep checking back for more exciting news about Dolly's boudoir! You won't believe what we have in the pipeline!!

James's Graduation (the second one!)

I was so proud of my husband James who graduated from Leeds Met University last week with his SECOND degree! Some people are just plain greedy :-)
James is a planner and made some great friends on the course. It was wonderful to see them all in their caps and gowns (though James's controversial wardrobe attire of no tie and short sleeves didn't go down well with his mum and is still a talking point!
Congratulations my hubs! I am so proud!

The Big 3-0!

dolly-00001-4

As my birthday approached, I could feel myself getting more and more nervous. The big 3-0...I would no longer be in my 20s.
The days and hours sped by, each day me taking one more step into official adulthood. I am fairly sure as you grow up you reach a mental age in your mind and never grow any older. My mental age was 15 I think. I am now double my mental age...and to cap it all with a 'toyboy' husband I never hear the end of it!
However, when my birthday arrived it fetched with it some lovely surprises. Thanks to everyone for making my day so special and especially to James who excelled himself with the present below...
...a book case!
Since we moved in together three years ago I have campaigned for a book case. I am an avid reader and every nook and cranny has a book stuffed into it. He has always resisted until now!
It wasn't my main present and I got lots of other things but secretly it's my most favourite!

Hello, Charliegh!

Our family is known for its rowdy get-togethers. This Saturday gone we celebrated a pretty major birthday and my brother fetched along the latest addition to the clan, Charliegh.
The poor little mite was subjected to the usual treatment - camera in face grabbing a few shots!
Since then, Daniel has been hounding me to get these online so he can get them on his phone!
Dude, three days aint bad for a worker bee! Here they are! PS Aint she a cutie?
