I’m a huge fan of blazers and I believe you can never have too many. They’re one of those items which you can wear with anything and they instantly transform an outfit. I own blazers in black, navy, nude and taupe in an assortment of styles, but the one colour I was missing was a blush pink, so I was delighted when I spotted this one in Primark. It’s the…

Skintopia Skin Belief Face Serum
Since reaching my mid twenties, I’ve decided it’s about time I pay more attention to my skincare routine. Serums and anti ageing creams now have new appeal for me, and although I’m not currently fighting any wrinkles, there’s no harm in looking after your skin before they appear! I was recently offered a sample of Skintopia Skin Belief Face Serum, which claims to revitalise skin and reduce fine lines and under…
Our Weekend in London
Back when it was Christmas (doesn’t it feel like a lifetime ago?!) Matt and I received an amazing present from my brother – tickets to see Matilda. We’re huge fans of the book and film so we were so excited to see how it would be interpreted as a musical. We decided to make a weekend of it and headed down to London on Saturday. After arriving at midday and…
A Shabby Chic Kitchen
Kitchens are an ideal place to experiment with the shabby chic look. I’m dreaming of the day we have a huge family kitchen with cream units and wooden counters, a belfast sink and windows overlooking the garden, but until we move to a larger house in the country (we’re hoping towards the end of the year!), we’re making do in our smallish kitchen. I’ve loved filling the space with small…
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain – Corail Aquatique
Yves Saint Laurent has launched the ultimate hybrid lip product – Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres. The revolutionary new Glossy Stains offer the perfect partnership of high impact glossy shine and vibrant, long lasting colour. Housed in a luxurious black and gold rectangular tube, the angled doe-shaped applicator with a tapered tip allows for precise lining and filling of the lips to create the perfect pout. I was expecting a…
Sleek Lash Out Mascara
There’s nothing like lashings of ultra black mascara to make you feel glamorous. Sleek’s new Lash Out mascara promises to lengthen and volumise lashes, so if you like your eyes dark and dramatic – this one’s for you. The retro neon packaging isn’t to my personal taste, I prefer something a little more chic, but packaging doesn’t bother me in the slightest when I love what’s inside and this has…
Love Python Print Wrap Dress
I have a bit of a thing for wrap dresses. I have an hourglass figure so I often struggle with dresses, finding they can fit at the waist but are too tight on the bust and hips, or vice versa. Wrap dresses are the perfect solution, nipping in at the waist, having enough room at the bust and skimming over the hips. I spotted this dress on the Love website (amazing for…
Life in Instagram
My new ultra girly dress from ASOS, a few of the goodies that arrived in the post last week, my Whooga boots which have been a saviour after I blistered my feet traipsing around LFW, a selection of pastel jeans from River Island (which to choose?!) Prezzo with the family for my parent’s wedding 35th anniversary: my delicious bruschetta starter (taking a picture caused much amusement for my brothers –…
London Fashion Week
I had my first taste of London Fashion Week this week when I headed off there on Monday. It’s a strange surreal world where it seems the more freakishly you dress, the more fashionable you are deemed. Who knew I would feel the odd one out as I wasn’t decked out in bizarre combinations of colours and clothes which resembled my uni’s bad taste fancy dress nights a little too closely!…
