About Steph

Hi, I’m Steph!

I’m your average thirty-something Brummie girl, just trying to find my way through life, consuming as much Gin and cake as I can along the way. Usually all while completely overdressed, of course…..

I started this blog as a soon-to-be married woman, with the intention of documenting my struggles planning a wedding and swooning over gorgeous gowns. Next thing I knew I was 33, living back at home with my parents and trying to work out what the hell comes next, which was, um, different!

Things worked out in the end… life looks pretty different now, with a lovely house in the countryside, a baby boy and a completely different wedding in the works! I’m recovering slowly from a frivolous shopping addiction, trying to make good choices and still largely making a tit out of myself in the process – this being an adult thing is kinda hard work sometimes, right?

Feel free to join me on my way and see if I ever work it out – I can’t promise you the most exciting read of your life, and I will definitely complain a lot (about work, the weather, people who catch my bus, people who frequent nearby establishments, people in general….) but I CAN promise you lots of beautiful shoes and dresses (albeit usually ancient or thrifted these days – I’m just not Influencer material!) and amusing anecdotes about the dog and the random acts of idiocy I commit on a fairly regular basis. Who knows, I might even impart the odd gem of wisdom here and there.

Hmmm, I hope you like shoes and dresses……

Thanks for reading!
