In case you’ve missed the constant mentions, our wedding is now less than a year away. With this in mind I’ve popped a few bits and bobs up on eBay and will probably continue to upload things over the next few weeks. If you like Topshop, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Roxy to mention a few … Continue reading

6 of the Best Autumn Nail Polishes
It’s hard to believe just a few weeks ago I was pottering around in a t-shirt and shades, now Summer seems just a distant memory and with the clocks going back tonight it’s safe to say Autumn is definitely here. It’s not all bad though, as with Autumn comes log fires, cosy jumpers, comfort food … Continue reading
18 and East Plate Print Dress Reveal
Does anyone else feel like time is getting away from them at the moment? In the past week I was meant to email two wedding suppliers, list a mass of items on ebay, reformat all my blog images for the new layout and write some new content for the blog. Do you know how much … Continue reading
Would you like to write a guest post for According to Gem?
Last night I joined the iFABBO and BlogTrends twitter chat on how to grow your blog readership. For upcoming bloggers I think events such as last night’s are crucial, not only for giving sound advice on blogging but also for networking with fellow bloggers. One of the key discussion points was guest blogging. Personally I … Continue reading
(Belated) Foodie Friday: Cornish Delights
There is something about spending two weeks in the Cornish air that made me want to embrace local produce both whilst I was away and even since we’ve been back home. The above is the stash of goodies from our trip away, including two rather delicious fruit wines that’ll be featuring quite heavily at our … Continue reading
Budget Date Night: 2 Odeon Cinema Tickets for £8
Wednesday, hump day, call it what you like, in our household Wednesday goes by one name and that’s Date Night. However, with our wedding now less than a year away we’ve had to find ways to keep costs down whilst still keeping the spirit of Date Night alive. Recently this has seen us swapping our … Continue reading
Weekend Wanderings: Saturday at Southampton Boat Show and Sperry Reveal
Ever the eager sailors, Mike and I decided to cut short our break in Cornwall (but only by a day!) so that we could head off to the Southampton Boat Show. Unfortunately in our eagerness to pack up on Friday I managed to leave my beloved Canon 600D behind, meaning my iPhone ended up being … Continue reading
I left my heart in Beverly Hills…
Sorry things have been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently. It’s been a busy few weeks, seeing me head to LA for a brief visit before I road tripped halfway across the country to spend a blustery two weeks in Cornwall and that’s not the end of it, as Saturday sees me jetting … Continue reading
Photo of the day: St Ives
Today we’re making the long drive home which means soon normal service will resume. In the meantime enjoy this photo of St Ives taken from under a bridge.
Photo of the day: Cornish Seal
On Monday we set off on our long awaited deep sea fishing trip. Unfortunately half an hour in I’d only caught two mackerel and had lost the slice of toast I’d eaten that morning. Needless to say it was a long four hours which I never wish to repeat. This little chap ended up being … Continue reading
Photo of the day: Sea Creatures on Treyarnon Bay
We found this washed up on Treyarnon Bay yesterday morning and I couldn’t resist taking a snap of it. If anyone has any idea what it is do let me know as I’m genuinely intrigued by it.
Weekend Wanderings: Let’s go fly a kite….
Can you believe it’s Thursday already? I’m really going to have to get better we these timely posts. Anyway, I thought I’d share with you a bunch of photos from our extremely busy bank holiday weekend. We were due to head out on the yacht for what would have been our last sail of the … Continue reading
Weekend Wanderings – Cowes Week 2012 Sunday Sailing
I’m a post-sailing wreck. My shoulder still aches, my knee is grazed and one of my thighs resembles the colour of a lobster despite copious amounts of aftersun but after all this I still have the biggest grin on my face and it’s Wednesday now! I would blame my delayed weekend wanderings post on my … Continue reading
Sail Away With Me – Lusting after Sperry Topsiders
It’s Cowes Week which means one thing! I will spend the whole week wishing I were aboard a yacht in the middle of the ocean rather than sat at my desk sipping tepid hot chocolate. Between doing actual work I’ve been feverishly checking the race results and obsessively tweeting my favourite shoe brand @Sperry_UK badgering, … Continue reading
Horsing Around – A day in the New Forest
Recently I’ve felt like I’m going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis. Before anyone panics (yes Mum I’m looking at you!) this isn’t the sort of crisis that leads me to do something stupid, more that I seem to be re-evaluating my life and questioning all kinds of stuff, including my up-coming wedding. At … Continue reading
The only problem with the Shades of Grey trilogy is….
whenever Ana mentions her “inner goddess” I immediately think of cartoon Lizzie Mcguire.
The Weekend According to Cleo
Hiya! Mum says most of you already know me but for those that don’t, I’m Cleo, the slightly furrier and definitely cutest member of the Godley household. I often like to warm my paws on Mum’s laptop whilst she’s working, so she suggested I should put my toasty paws to good use and give mogging a … Continue reading
Weekend Wanderings – Wonersh, Surrey
As a child I used to spend hours wandering the beautiful countryside surrounding our house, I just couldn’t get enough of the great outdoors. As an adult I rarely find an opportunity to just take in the world around me, but since getting my new camera I’m determined to change that. On Saturday I decided … Continue reading
Weekend Wants
Give a little thought for me as you read this as I’ll be helping my dear mummy at the local village fete where I’ll no doubt be inappropriately dressed for whatever weather is thrown at us! H&M Black Sandals | Canon EOS 550D DSLR | Miss Selfridge Green Maxi Dress | KMS FreeShape Blow Dry … Continue reading
Summer in a Bottle – Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Collection
For a while now I’ve been searching for the perfect Summer scent. Last year it was Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and the year before it was Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess Eau de Perfume. Unfortunately both are now empty and I’ve been left wondering what to replace them with, As you can probably guess when it … Continue reading
