My Winter Wish List


As each new season approaches I always find myself craving certain 'must haves', as we move into the autumn I wanted to share with you the items I have on my winter wish list.

The l'Oreal skin perfection serum is something that I have heard such great things about and can't wait to try it, I really like to use serums in the winter underneath my moisturiser as it really keeps the skin hydrated and leaves it feeling amazing. I also really like the packaging in this range, I already have the facial wash which I really like so I'm looking forward to getting this product.

I have been lusting after this Aspinal Marylebone bag for months and months, its so beautiful with its two toned leather and complimenting buckles. I'm still saving, but hopefully one day I will get there!!!! I think a classic bag is the key to any great outfit, I know some people don't like spending to much on bags, but I have always had an eye for quality and unfortunately that comes with a lot of  saving!


I have recently just had my hair cut into a long bob (which I love), having always had relatively long hair this is quite a change for me but I am loving it so far. The ends are so much thicker and its a lot healthier, the only difference is that it needs a bit more styling because otherwise its doesn't sit properly. I have always loved John Frieda's Volume collection and I have been wanting the spray for a quite a while so I'm really excited to try it on my new hair style!  I'm going to purchase it this week along with the serum, so I will review both products in due course.



Im going to do a styling diaries next week, with a fashion post on what I'm wearing each day! So look out for it!

Hot right now




I'm always looking for new and emerging make up companies that make great products and finally I have found one! Kiko is an italian make-up company that I found when I was on holiday in Rome (my hotel just happened to be above the store!). The store was amazing, with so much going on and so many products to look at, after much choice I settled on 3 products:

1. Bronze/Gold eyeshadow stick- This stuff is seriously amazing, its a cream stick that hardens and turns to a powdery consistency when on the eye so it doesn't gather in the crease. The best thing about the product is it lasts all day and even into the evening as the colour is super pigmented.

2. Trio blusher- The colour is amazing and I like the fact that you get 3 colours in one, meaning you can make the colour as light or as pigmented as you want. I also think the packaging is really cool and stylish.

3. Powder eyeshadow- I also bought a dark coffee powder eye shadow, I have used it for shading to create a smokey eye, again the pigmenting is amazing and the colour lasts all day.

You can order online and they have their full range of products available! Check it out, it will be your new favourite brand.

August Favourites




Hey Guys,

Firstly, I must apologise for my absence during August, I had so many things going on and I was on holiday so I took a break for a while, but now I'm back to regular blogging! I thought I would share with you my August Favourites, including beauty, fashion and a little bit of lifestyle!

Red Ankle Boots- I'm in love with these boots! I only bought them in the last week and haven't had a chance to wear them because the weather has been so lovely! But I'm just adding items to my winter wardrobe and I can not wait to wear these. I wear black skinny jeans and dresses a lot, and with my basic clothes I tend to keep to black, grey and white and then accessorise with coloured shoes, necklaces and scarves.  I keep going into my wardrobe just to look a them! they are from Marks and spencer (which I know might surprise many of you, and they where only £45, get them before they go).


SensatioNail- Im really happy that I get to blog about this product, its amazing for people who like to have gel nails. Obviously being quite good with beauty I find nail varnish really easy to apply so this kit was perfect for me, not only does it save so much money I love the flexibility of changing the colour and not feeling guilty about spending the money on a new set. The starter kit was £70 I think but worth every penny! The kit comes with everything you need, including one colour of your choice (however you do have to buy the removal kit separately) then you can just buy the extra colours you want individually. The finish is amazing and they last just over 2 weeks.  I would definitely recommend this product if your good at doing your own nails and your fed up of paying each time you go to get your nails done!


White Bedroom- I'm in love with my new white bedroom (this would also explain my absence haha), the picture above isn't my bedroom but it follows the same theme. All white with a white and charcoal feature wall and an all white bed, I have added accents of  dusky pink to the room as well to give it warmth. It feels light int the summer but cosy in the winter! Im going to do a blog post of my finished rooms soon!

I will be back soon!
