The end of the road for I Heart Tunbridge Wells

I have come to the decision to hang up my newly acquired bloggers boots and end ihearttunbridgewells. Grappling with two children under the ages of two every day leaves me with precious little time that the time I do have needs to be better spent. Writing about Tunbridge Wells and what I brought isn't going to get me a book deal or my screenplays sold.

What I have discovered is that are some fantastic blogs out there, blogs that are eloquent, funny, inspirational and it has made me realize that if I am to do to this properly then my blog has to be relevant to what I am trying to accomplish.

So for now I say thank you and to paraphrase Arnie, "I'll be back". (I know, hardly original but it works.)

Signing off,

Nina

The new additions

Apologies for my recent absence from the blogosphere but any spare moment I had (which is never very much at the best of times) had me tapping away at the keyboard trying to write a brilliant synopsis. I don't know about brilliant but it is written.

As a reward for getting it done I went shopping. Here's my recent purchases.





1. Net-a-porter, Maje dark-gray camouflage stretch cotton-blend pants. £135
2. Outnet.com, Lutz & Patmos, silk-charmeuse tank. Original Price £295 Now £103.25
3.
Outnet.com, Vanessa Bruno Athe, cotton single-breasted jacket. Original Price £275 Now £137.50

I wore this lot together Friday night (total nights out: 5). My sister offered to babysit so my husband and I dined at Soprano's, a Tapas bar in Tunbridge Wells (56 High St). We had 10 dishes between us and a bottle of Rioja Crianza. I had a fantastic time. Pity the morning after had to start so early - thanks to my daughter shouting mummmeee mummmeee... at 5am.

Dress for Christmas


70 high Street, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1YB

I know it's only October but I stumbled across these Christmas baubles in Bod & Ted, an independent clothing store in Tunbridge Wells and couldn't wait to share with you.


Bombki black cab £16
Bombki modern little london set £45


Eager to see what other Bombki baubles were out there I had a look on their website http://www.bombki.co.uk/home.php Loving these little ladies.


Milano Lady. £37.50
Florida Girl. £37.50

I did have other reasons for stepping into the Bod & Ted store. Last Thursday I attended the Tunbridge Wells Autumn/Winter Fashion Show (my fourth night out this year - yeah!). The Bod & Ted catwalk show was by far my favorite although the BooBoo Burlesque collection had me inspired: corsets, showgirl bustles, feather fans, mini top hat fascinators... http://www.boobooburlesque.com/

But it was the Duality dress by Marlene Birger that caught my eye and I wanted to take a closer look. Absolutely stunning. I LOVE IT. A wool/silk blend leopard print dress with keyhole back. Puuurrrfect. ME WANT IT.


By Malene Birger Duality dress. £238
