Get Party Season Ready With Missguided

Beauty Bits: December newbies!

I've delved into the world of lotions & toners head on this month, partly because I was lucky enough to receive a few bits & pieces to try out. Partly because when the lady at work asked me what my skincare routine was & I replied with 'I wash my makeup off with soap & water' - the look of terror on her face was enough to send anyone running to the nearest Boots store to stock up on every essential item necessary to get a basic routine together stat! It was time to get this sorted and riffle through all the items I had in my packed draws!

Why I Quit My 9 to 5

About 6 months ago, after a lot of pondering, self doubt, tears (a lot of tears), I decided to quit my full time job. It wasn't so I could shout out 'I'm now a full time blogger' - I'm very much far away from that point - but it was so I could focus more time on my blogging, but it was also so I could leave the 9 -5 world of work behind. For good. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely! Let me tell you why...

The Blogger Retreat with Farfetch #TheOne

It's not every day that you get to hang out in a killer mansion, mid-week, on a glorious day... It seemed almost too good to be true! It was a tad different to how I spend most Wednesday, anything in comparison just doesn't hold up and it's down to the amazing Farfetch team for inviting me to their Blogger Retreat and what a treat it was!

WHAT I WORE: London Fashion Week

Attending my first ever London Fashion Week, I deliberated over what to wear; toying over the idea of multiple outfits and styles, before eventually panic buying three days before I was set to leave in hopes everything fit & looked OK. I'm pretty good with styling up outfits in my head, the issue being finding the exact item in stores or online to match the vision in my head. Luckily, everything turned out how I had planned and I didn't suffer with any wardrobe malfunctions.

Missguided 30% Off New Season + Discount Code

It's hard to take in that the shops & online stores are now full to the brim with their A/W lines when our Winter coats never got packed away this year. Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration... But as we're clinging on to the last of Summer with this long overdue heatwave, bagging some new threads with some mega discount is something you just can't resit.

I've picked a few of my faves from the new season & popped them below. Also, Missguided are spoiling you with 30%! YAAAS!

Ticking The Next Age Bracket

Its a scary realisation when you're filling out some basic info to get access to that all important free wifi (to catch Pokemon of course) when you realise that you'll be hitting the big Two-Five in just a few short months. The fact that we're in the middle of July when I still think it's June is crazy enough with how quickly time is passing by, so I know that I'll be blowing out those candles on my cake real soon.

Throwin' It Back To 2012

The world of blogging has changed drastically since I first launched my blog back in 2012 so I wanted to put a little post together to show you how my blog has transformed over the years. It's hard to believe that I've had this blog up & running for 4 years now (4 very inconsistent years may I add), but back when I started, the content on my blog was incredibly different to what it is now. My posts consisted of nail art tutorials, DIY's and my favourite McQueen collection that season along side the occasional 'High Street Faves' post. It was my favourite pass time and I found myself reading more and more blogs (procrastination at its finest) and I wanted to expand on my content with OOTD posts after lusting over the fashion blogs that I had began reading religiously.

Missguided 25% Off Holiday Shop

I'm going to be really British and complain about the weather and ponder why on Earth we're being punished with this dismal, overcast, rainy Summer this year?  I think everyone has been secretly hoping that Summer is going to suddenly burst through the clouds any day now and we can bask in the heat and have those long awaited picnics in the park. Here's to wishful thinking...

But hey-ho, we can still love and lust over the Summer outfits we get to wear on our jollies, can't we? I love a good discount and Missguided have some pretty swanky garms right now with 25% off holiday-wear that I've been drooling over for far too long! So, I've picked out my faves for you to drool over too!

Just use discount MERMAID25 at the checkout - You're welcome! :)

The Glamour Summer Edit Review

Ribby Hall Village: The Spa Hotel

Life. It sometimes gets in the way of allowing us to enjoy the most simple things we seem to over look or take a pass on because of our hectic, ever growing schedules. We're all guilty of not taking enough care of ourselves and things get put on the back burner because general life and that ever growing to-do list just doesn't seem to go down. It's important to take a break sometimes, unwind, get pampered and especially for myself, to get away from social media... Just for a little while, mind! I took 2 days out from my everyday jam packed routine, to unwind and relax and enjoy some well deserved 'me' time at The Spa Hotel in Ribby Hall Village.

The Reason Why I'm Going Vegan

As we grow older, we learn to look after ourselves a lot better. Whether we do this subconsciously, or because your metabolism doesn't digest those Mr Kipling slices as well as it used to, making changes to your diet is something we all do. The change that I have decided to make, is quite a huge one. It will impact on almost every aspect of my life, but this is something I think I'm OK with. It's been something that has slowly edged closer to the forefront of my mind, yet taken me a while to actually pursue. Let me tell you why...

Pixi Beauty: Achieving That Summer Glow

I've always found the transitional/in-between weather period hard to get through without feeling like a lost puppy. Pretty much everything in my wardrobe doesn't fit the bill & the same goes for my make up routine. I have to admit, I used to be horrendous with my make up routine... It's only over the last year or so I've really taken an interest into looking after my skin and paying attention to what products work for my skin type & what don't. With the warmer weather approaching (very slowly I may add), I thought it was time to look into changing my everyday routine, so I teamed up with Pixi Beauty & got my bronzed goddess look down to a T.

Mark Hill: Magic Wand Review

I've been a huge lover of curling wands since they first came out quite a while ago.. I used to walk past the stands in the shopping centres really slowly, just so I could watch the assistants do their thing & transform normal hair into princess hair! They're so many different brands and types of wands these days, that's its hard to know which one to go for? I was kindly sent this little bundle of Mark Hill products from the lovelies at Label PR to review. I'll talk you through the steps I took to create my final look & what products I loved the most and what ones not so much!

Well, I was set a little style challenge by Dorothy Perkins to style this staple skinny jeans & bodysuit combo 3 different way, simply by changing the shoes!
