Jubilations...














So I know I'm quite late with the whole Jubilee thing, but I've been so busy I've not been able to put up my little Jubilee post!
My sisters & I organised a Jubilee Party for our friends on the Tuesday night and it was great fun! We went all out with the food and decoration - plenty bunting, flags, candles and anyone for jelly in our Grandmothers' china cups along with saucers? ;) Incredibly cute, and incredibly surprised none were broken on the night! Note: only on the night, a couple of days later a couple got broken in the kitchen by accident...

For my nails I went for some nail art, Union Jacks, red, gold, royal blue - and those golden blobs are my attempt to draw crowns on my nails that didn't go exactly as I planned. But still got some lovely compliments from people and customers at work on my very patriotic nails, and they lasted for days - even though I forgot my Topcoat!

Added some pictures of the food we made in as well, I just love how British it all looks! And it was all handmade, the large Union Jack cake, all the cupcakes, the lettuce leaves with mango & coronation chicken (these tasted amazing!) and our 'Queen of Hearts Jam Tarts'! Of course, it wouldn't be a jubilee party without little triangle sandwiches with various fillings and no crusts!

The theme for all the guests was to dress in red, white and blue - so I wore a white lace dress, white and hessian heels, blue cardi & belt and for red - my lipstick as I own no red clothing! I obly have one picture and it's absolutely awful so I'll save you from it & leave you with the other pretty jubilee pictures instead.

Hope you like!

    1. Thank you Catrine,:)
      They took quite a while to do but I loved them so it was definitely worth the time & concentration!
      The coronation leave things tasted absolutely amazing, wasn't sure how well they'd go down but they went down pretty well (funnily enough, by all the girls!)

      And I love your blog! I too hate having unpainted nails and aim to have them looking pretty at all times! :)
