Winter Memories With my Fujifilm Instax Mini*

I love the colder seasons. Summer is nice but there’s nothing I love more than wrapping up in lots of layers and having a nice warm hot drink outside to warm me up. Winter in England can vary and every year I wish for a flurry of snow but it is more likely we just get rain.   

I recently received the Instax Mini Polaroid Camera and was set a little project from Ocean Loans to showcase some lovely scenery using my camera and bring your homes to the fore this winter.

Crisp dry winter mornings are my favourite and me and James recently took a walk by the river where I managed to take some lovely photos. Not only did I get some lovely photos out and about, I also managed to get some from the comfort of my own home. When the weather is wet and windy there’s nothing I like more than to stay inside with a hot drink and some biscuits wrapped up in my favourite blanket, usually with my cat snuggled next to me.

The Instax Mini Polaroid camera is the perfect size to pop in your handbag and prints lovely credit card sized polaroid photos. I love that you can get your print pretty much straight away and as the packs of polaroid’s only come in 10’s, I really had to think hard about what I wanted to take photos of which made them all the more special.

I love that I have been able to preserve my Winter memories in a unique and special way. Have you made any changes to your home this winter?

Valentine's Day Gifts feat. Hazel and Kent*

I love jewellery but it is not something I often buy for myself. I love receiving jewellery as a gift knowing the item has come from that special someone and whenever you wear it, it reminds you of the person who gave it to you.

This Valentines day if you are looking for that perfect gift for a loved one then look no further than Hazel and Kent. They have a lovely range of necklaces, earrings, rings, watches and even bags. You'll easily be able to find the perfect gift, or something for yourself.

I received this gorgeous Topaz Necklace from Hazel and Kent which would make the perfect gift whether it be this Valentines Day, for a birthday or anniversary. The Topaz silver and pink CZ necklace costs just £35, but looks and feels a lot more expensive.

I love the way the light glistens on the necklace and it is such an elegant piece of jewellery to wear. It came packaged in a lovely crisp white box which kept the necklace protected and is a great way to present it to a loved on.

Visit Hazel and Kent on Facebook, Twitter or go direct to their website to see the other beautiful jewellery pieces they have for sale.
