Lemon & Elderflower celebration 'wedding' cake with a slice missing in front of peonies

The royal wedding was just under a week ago and honestly I'm still not over it. It was a moment in history which I'm so glad I could be a part of, even if it was from my sofa slightly drunk on prosecco. I hosted a little Royal Wedding party for my mum, gran & James and I decided to make a Lemon & Elderflower 'wedding' cake for us to all indulge in to replicate Harry & Meghan's choice on the day for their own cake. I mean every wedding needs cake right?

As you probably guessed from my best buys for throwing a Royal Wedding party post, I have truly been taken over by Royal Wedding fever. Prince Harry has always been one of my favourite royals, but shh don't tell the others, and when he announced his engagement to Meghan Markle I was genuinely over the moon.

So as mentioned in my fashion fix the other week, things are getting fruity in the fashion world this summer. Dreams of the amalfi coast and freshly squeezed juice have more than likely been triggered by D&G's 2016 lemon print dress.

If you follow me on Insta-stories then you will know how much I love the royals. It's something I've inherited from my mum and grandmother with pride. When there's a new royal baby I have Kensington Palace's twitter on full notifications and it's on my bucket list to one day meet a royal.

Stripes are a key part of every spring summer wardrobe. They are the classic french riviera fashion pattern which is revived every year. When done right they can be incredibly flattering and make any outfit look well put together.

So this post is probably a little different to many of my others but being a mature student I've done my fair share of exams. Don't get me wrong they still stress me out but I've come up with ways to survive them with my sanity intact.

As a teenager I truly believed that by the time I was 25 I would have my shit together and be a fully fledged adult conquering the world. I'd have my dream job even though I didn't know what that was at the time. I'd probably have been on the way to getting married, aka engaged. I'd have a house decorated exactly how I wanted with a dog to welcome me home. Spoilers - it isn't all travelling the world, big money jobs and Pinterest-worthy home. I have to say now I've turned 27 that my expectations aren't quite the reality.

At the moment I find that I'm often rushing from place to place. I'm not sure when my life got so hectic but I find I'm seriously lacking in time to myself or to just sit down and think. With that being said my wardrobe has had to become multi-function with work outfits being able to be quickly styled to go from office appropriate to an evening of cocktails.
