SUMMER AT HOME WITH INSTAX.


With warmer weather and later nights the season of summer has lots to enjoy. I'm talking festivals, summer holidays, beach trips, picnics and BBQs galore. Summer traditionally is a season for spending time out and about with friends and family but that doesn't mean your home should be forgotten in the warmer months.

NEW IN: WORKSPACE DETAILS.


Oh hey, long time no blog! Before I get into the nitty gritty of my latest home wear additions I just wanted to make a quick apology for the unplanned absence in this corner of the internet over recent weeks. As some of you may be aware, I am now back working for Lush Cosmetics which obviously takes up some time and I am firmly in the limbo that is planning on moving home.

SUNRISE BREAKFAST YOGHURT.

Up until recently I would never have considered myself to be a breakfast kinda girl. I love a good brunch of a weekend but I would often find myself skipping breakfast in favour of an extra 5 minutes in bed most mornings. I put this down to the fact that plain old toast and sloppy cereal don't really appeal at the best of times let alone first thing in the morning. However since mixing up my breakfast options and adding in some tasty treats I have been fully converted to the breakfast bandwagon.

THE LUSH HAUL: PART 3.


Today I am back with a very well overdue Lush haul. I recently finished off my collection of bath bombs that had been hanging around since Christmas so I knew that it was inevitable that a little splurge was bound to happen. There where a couple of items that I knew straight off the bat that I was going to repurchase along with some slightly different products that where just calling my name.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR BLOOMS.


I freaking love flowers. I'm not sure when my love first began to blossom but it's growing at an astonishing rate and is showing no signs of wilting any time soon. Can we just take a quick moment to enjoy all of those botanical puns in that last sentence?! Sorry, I aint sorry. Some of you may remember that around this time last year I wrote a blog post called 5 house plants that even you can't kill and in a similar vein I wanted to share a few tips with you on how to get the best of your blooms.

COCKTAIL HOUR: THE DARK N STORMY.


For a long time now I have been wanting to incorporate more drinks recipes into my blog. The problem was however that I'm not a huge alcohol lover, meaning that I was pigeon holed into just featuring coffees and smoothies. However things have changed over the past few months since broadening my spirit repertoire and I have found myself falling back in love with a cheeky cocktail to mark the end of a busy week.

POLAROID 3000 FROM CHEERZ.


I always have been and always will be a huge advocate for printing photos, whether they be candid snaps from your phone or from special events like the wedding of one of your nearest and dearest. Frequent readers will also be aware of my love for instant photography, something I got into from going through countless Polaroid snaps from my parents youth.

GO TO STATIONERY SUPPLIERS.


This week is National Stationery Week. Any frequent readers will be well aware by now of my penchant pencils and ongoing lust for lists. Since my school days I have always revelled in buying new stationery. Once upon a time I thought that I might grow out of it, but since discovering the likes of Kate Spade stationery and the wonder that is kikki.K my love just continues to grow.

THE KITCHEN INSPIRATION POST.


I have previously touched on the fact that I will be moving home later this year and since then my mind has been consumed with all things decor, especially kitchen decor. For years I have been pinning photos of dream kitchen on Pinterest and I am beyond excited to be able to finally bring my vision to life.

THE LEMON TRAYBAKE.


It has been a while since I last shared a recipe post with you guys hasn't it? There is no reason for this other than the fact that over the past couple of weeks I have only really been baking vintage recipes that can already be found here in the Food category.

Whether you are into beauty, baking, craft, fashion or lifestyle I have something for everyone in my list of all time favourite blogs below.

DIY: EASTER BUNNY BUNTING.

UK-CRAFT-DIY-CREATIVE-BLOGGER

I originally wasn't planning on creating any Easter content this year as neither my partner or I really celebrate it, not even with Easter Eggs... seriously! However I failed in my self imposed mission to avoid Pinterest over the past week and ended up seeing so many cute Easter themed DIYs that I just had to try my hand at one. I'm also a huge sucker for cute pastel colours and bunnies so I ended creating this adorable Easter bunny bunting with pompom tails to adorn my workspace.

5 TIPS ON HOW TO STAY INSPIRED.

uk-creative-diy-lifestyle-blogger


Inspiration is a funny thing. Some days we have ideas shooting all over the place and then the next day we are essentially pulling ideas out of our arses trying to make something work. As someone who has studied Art and ran a creative blog for many years now I know just how hard it can sometimes be to keep coming up with fresh and exciting ideas.

LIFE LATELY. NO.2


Do you remember about 6 months ago when I started a new series called Life Lately? Yeah, well it's been a while hasn't it! The whole intention of these blog post's where to keep you guys updated on me and my life in between my various craft projects and unhealthy bakes. Anyway I thought that it was about time I got my arse into gear and updated you all on the going on in my world.

DIY: CELEBRATION CAKE TOPPER.

uk-diy-craft-blog

I feel that I have been seriously slacking on the DIY front recently which is actually kind of surprising considering they're hands down my favourite post's to work on. I guess I have just been lacking inspiration and imagination as of late. With this Sunday being Mother's Day in the UK I thought that this would be the perfect occasion to get my creative juices flowing again.

THE WEDDING GUEST GIFT GUIDE.


I guess that now I'm firmly into my mid 20's it was kind of inevitable that more and more of my friends would begin getting married. I am writing this blog post up in advance as today is actually one of my best friends wedding day's and I've even got another one lined up for the summer already. With this in mind and this new phase of my adult life ahead of me I decided to step up my game and spend some time looking for and researching some of the best wedding gifts on the market.

TOP 5 TIPS FOR AN ORGANISED LIFE.


I originally wanted to title this post "how to get your shit together and be a proper adult" but I felt that that may not be the best for a broader audience. Despite the different title the premise is still exactly the same so today I am going to share my top 5 tips for organising your life and generally getting your shit together.

LAST MINUTE VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT WRAP.


You all know the drill by now, any celebration is an excuse for me to go over the top on the gift wrap and Valentine's Day is no exception, what a lucky boyfriend I have! He may not necessarily appreciate the fluffy pink pompoms on his Valentine's gift however he does appreciate the time and effort I spend putting it all together therefor the pompoms will continue.

THE PANCAKE DAY POST.

 It is finally Pancake Day and quite easily one of my favourite days of the year. I personally indulge in pancakes all year round but I like to go that extra mile on Pancake Day and today is no exception. The pancakes you are looking at are actually the ones I had for breakfast this morning and I have to tell you, this is possibly my favourite topping combination yet!

THREE YEARS OF LADYLIKE LEN.


I cannot believe that today, the 8th of February 2016, marks 3 entire years since I sat at this Macbook and wrote up my very first blog post. In a similar fashion to last year I wanted to quickly take a moment to look back on the past year and commemorate the fact that I stuck at this jam for another whole year.

DIY: VALENTINE'S GIFT FOR FRIENDS.

diy-valentines-gift-idea-friends

After sharing my DIY Valentine's gift for loved ones this time last week I thought that it would be fun to come up with something special for the other important people in your life, whether that be your family or friends! Continuing along the theme of hand made gifts I decided to go down the edible route this time round as everyone loves food and homemade treats are infinitely the best.

THE LUSH BATH BOMB HAUL.



Do you remember back in October when I posted The First Of Many Lush Hauls? Well, today I am back with another round up of all things Lush and this one is solely dedicated to bath bombs and bubble bars. For years now, long before even working for Lush, I have always been a huge fan of the bath range and to be honest, there seriously aren't many products that I haven't tried so I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my personal highlights of the beloved bath range.

DIY: VALENTINE'S PHOTO DISPLAY.


Without sounding like a complete and utter cliche, where the hell has the past month gone? I cannot believe that Christmas was over a month ago now and it is already the end of January this week. January coming to an abrupt end does mean one thing though, Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I have quite the busy February full of birthdays and a best friends wedding so I thought I best get on Valentine's Day early to ensure that my loved one still get something special.

THE WORKSPACE TOUR.


I almost cannot believe that I am finally sitting down to write this blog post! I started my workspace makeover over 6 months ago now and despite not needing to redecorate or do anything drastic it seemed to take forever to get all the pieces I wanted together.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY K.I.S.S.I.N.G LIPSTICKS.


There are very few things in this world that will make me straight up throw my money at a sales assistant but Charlotte Tilbury makeup is most certainly one of them. I have quite a collection of her products slowly growing in my makeup stash that easily deserve a mention of their own but today I wanted to take a moment to talk about my favourite, the lipsticks.

NEW IN: A LITTLE LOVELY LIGHT BOX.


It's been a while since I have been homewear shopping and I even managed to resit all of the January sales despite having some Christmas money to spend. Working in retail over the Christmas period totally kills any sort of Boxing Day sales joy and the fact that I was ill over the festive period just made me want to spend my time curled up in bed like a sushi roll for days on end.

THE ULTIMATE ROCKY ROAD BITES.


In true Ladylike Len form I am back with another self indulgent treat right at the beginning of January, just when everyone else is forcing green smoothie bowls and workout DVDs in your face. In my defence though the whole point of this bake was to use up the rest of the naughty Christmas food that was still hanging around in my cupboards.

THE BEST OF LADYLIKE LEN 2015.


As this is the first whole week of the year I thought that it would be nice time to pause and take the moment to take walk down memory lane and create a little round up of some of my personal favourite posts from throughout the previous year.
