My 2nd Wedding attending as a guestt and what I wore

On 2nd September, this year,  I was invited to a lovely and beautiful wedding of my sisters boyfriend's mum and stepdad. The wedding took place at Elvetham Hotel (Fleet), such a beautiful place, and stunning venue to have your wedding. I would highly recommend considering this venue if anyone is planning a wedding anytime soon or in the near future.

We arrived at the gorgeous venue around 2.00pm where we made our way inside to find a lovely welcoming canvas stand before the entrance:

Once inside the Elevetham Hotel venue, we were able to sign into the guestbook and print our fingerprint on the wedding tree canvas stand, post cards in the letterbox and put your presents into an area to leave before officially seeing the whole decorations and feeling the atmosphere. I must say I loved every bit of the brides and grooms choices. The venue looked amazingly stunning and I wouldn't fault any of the decorations and how the place looked at all.

So once everyone had arrived we went in for the wedding reception which I must say was also very pretty and stunningly decorated, nicer then I had actually thought it would be for their style of choice. On top of  all this, the bridesmaids looked absolutely gorgeous.

The Bridesmaids, Maid of Honor and Bride.

After the wedding reception, we all went outside for champagne, the throwing of the flowers and some little snacks and music played by my sister and her boyfriend as the bridesmaids, maid of honor and bride took some photos. 

Some photos of the day outside:

By now everyone was starting to get hungry and waiting to hear when they could go in, to sit down for some food and speeches and when this was announced everyone headed through inside to a lovely table arrangement for all the guest. 

 Next up was the cutting of the cake and tasting back outside in the hallway and a self-help coffee and tea, little treats around the hallway like biscuits and chocolates. 

Here it comes the moment most people have been excited to attend the after the ceremony to see the brides and groom dance and party with a few drinks till the night is over. 

I am very grateful to have attended and got the chance to celebrate this couples big day Mr. and Mrs. Biggerstuff. What a great couple and they truly deserve to have a long and happy life together. May God bless them and their family.

Why I haven't posted in a while

Hey fellow readers, I know it has been quite some time since I posted up a new blog post with all that has been going on the last few months. All the stress at home and with me still getting back to myself after my dad passed away on the 23rd of June.
When he passed away we had so many things to do; plan the funeral, change all the bills from our dad's name into mine and my mums, support mum and sister through a hard time, close down his bank accounts, help mum sell his car and . On top of that, I have been feeling down and a few weeks kept myself to myself before slowly getting myselfsend off all the death certificates required with all the companies in his name or to shut down all accounts unecessary any more. With all these things taking up many day I had to put my blog on hold and sort out these valuble thibgs that needed to be done beucase mum wasnt going to be able to manage to sort out everything before I could find time to back on my feet.

I would not say its easy and that I have got back to my total self, however, I am now trying to somehow get used to the new life without having my dad around and the advice I use to get. Doing a lot more decision making on my own can be hard because when your mum doesn't know a lot the things that you could get help from, like the other day I didn't know what t do and which dealership to go so I took mine to the cheapest cost stated online and without having advice and knowledge in which dealership to look at and which are better, I took myself down to this one and after getting a quote back about all the things wrong, I got quoted quite a high price which wasn't so bad and after knowing the price, I agreed to all the work need done and a day later got a phone call with additional cost which priced up the cost a lot higher. Argh!! I bet if my dad was around I wouldn't have got the additional extra cost charge even in the first place and got all this trouble because I would not have to deal with such a company and all the stress I am currently dealing with, not knowing what to do. 

So now you can see why I haven't actually been updating my blog. During this stressful time, I have learned to be able to take time out for myself, always look for options and not jump to the very first opportunity available but always take it to consideration because you might never get the same chance and opportunity again and that life is to short to over stress you will never know when your life will end so enjoy life and live life as if it's your last day. here are some quotes below that help me move forward in life through the difficult times and get going each dayto get closer to where I want to be: 

Yes, I know this has nothing to do with the usual post on my blog, however, I wanted to put it out there what Has been going in my life and real reason as to why I haven't put a post out in a long time. Now that I am back, be sure to see much more new post published. regularly and I hope you enjoy reading my future post to write and publish. 

How to tell a fake Rolex Watch?

In this “How to spot a fake..” review I will explain how you can spot the difference between a counterfeit and authentic Rolex Watch.

This is one of the harder products to tell as it becomes more difficult to identify between the fake and the real Rolex Watch due to the fact that there are more fakes being modded to include authentic parts.

That's Why from the two pictures below you can't really tell the difference:

I would advise with such watches to always buy from an authentic boutique, shop or seller that is 100% trusty to avoid any sort of authenticity issues.

Clasp -

The genuine Rolex will have a thinner clasp and feature a more pronounced logo and has been polished which is why the finishing (brushing of the steel) on the two watches has a huge difference. in terms of real vs fake, the crown logo is more prominent on the real clasp and the authentic Rolex lock mechanism operates more smoothly compared to the fake watch.

Watch Strap -

The finish of the genuine Rolex under light will have a much better visual finish. The stainless steel quality will be superior compared to the fake watch. It also has a shine to it that the fake Rolex watch lacks.


Back of clasp -

The Rolex engravings on the inside of the clasp are far sharper on the real Rolex as seen in the image below:

The engraving will also look more professionally imprinted whereas the fake imprint will look as if the engraving wasn't done too great standards and quality. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my short “How to spot a fake Rolex Watch” review! If you have any questions please feel free to comment below. 

Cousin's Graduation Day and What I wore

I, myself have never gone to Uni and the real reason behind that is I always saw Uni as a place to get away from home and get smashed. Yes, not in all cases but the majority of the time this is the case for students these days and I am not judging because we only live once and should enjoy life and make the choices for ourselves best. In my option for myself, I could still go out and get smashed if I wanted to without going to Uni. 

I also didn't see myself going to Uni as I didn't have a specific subject I wanted to study and I guess that was another big part of the reason why I didn't go to Uni. I didn't want to waste my 3 years of learning on a subject which I wasn't so keen on and didn't see myself getting a carer in that sector. I guess it is a great opportunity for those who actually know what they want to do in life, otherwise, I personally wouldn't want to be in debt for something I wasn't going to enjoy and then just find a standard job like many of the graduates, not related to my studies. 

Some students that study such a course like; Law will most definitely get their dream carer in the job sector they want with the good grades and hard work but then again everyone's path is different in life and some are luckier and may even get further than those going to Uni. They say that '' it's not what you know but who you know'' or how much you really want it in life and what you give out of yourself. I haven't necessarily myself got the biggest circle of friends to help me get future and not being to Uni, yet that doesn't stop me from trying my best and working on myself to be better despite where I am at now knowing that it is not something I want to settle for. 

After all, this post isn't about me and my views on Uni. It is about the big day for my cousin's graduating on 20th June this month with a degree in Sociology. This was the first time I attended a graduation and didn't really know what the ceremony would be like. Sadly on the day, my dad couldn't be with us due to him passing away last month on the 23rd. Despite that, he was with us in our hearts on this day. 

All my cousin's family came and the three of us girls and also her boyfriend to support her on her big day. During the ceremony, we watched all the students from her course and a few other, get called out and walk down and shake the president's hand of the Kingston Uni as we sat in a theatre to watch it all take place.

Walking upstairs in the theatre to my seat.

Me, My Mum, My Sister, Auntie (Cousin's Mum) and Uncle (Cousin's Dad)

waiting to watch the graduation ceremony. 

Just a quick picture of me and my gorgourse mama together.

Once we sat down for a short while the graduation ceremony began and many different graduation students announced before Our cousin took her place to walk down and shake the Uni's president. They tried very hard during the time not to pronounce her surname wrong, however with big struggle can't pronounce the sure name at all but that didn't stop our cousin getting embarrassed taking her place to walk down as she already know that was going to happen with so all the lectures and friends at Uni also unable to pronounce her surname.

After the graduation ceremony was over the whole family went over the hall on the other side, for some champagne, orange juice and take some more photos. 

What I wore: Baby Pink Chain Quilted Bag - Ebay, Blue Floral Scuba Bandeau Palm Print Midi Dress - MissGuided, Nude Point Small Heels - Ebay. 

Once all that took place, we head over to finish off the celebrates with some food and drinks at TGI Friday's in Kingston At TGI Friday's they gave the graduate student a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival. We all got ourselves a drink to celebrate with her before all ur chosen food from the menu arrived. 

To summaries it was a nice family day that we don't often go out as such a big family and I'm sure it will be a day our cousin will never forget. Well of course the nice food needs to appropriated and a big thank you to my auntie who took us all out for the meal to celebrate afterwards.  Is there anyone who just graduated not long ago or graduating soon? I'd love to hear how your graduation went and if you did anything afterwards.
