Red Valentino Animals

Red Valentino, the younger sister label to Valentino, has been a fashion favourite of mine forever.  Their look is extremely girly but still fun and very quirky. I've recently added two quirky pairs of shoes to my ever expanding wardrobe and thought I'd share.  I warn you they won't be everyone's cup of tea but I believe fashion shouldn't be taken to seriously and these definitely make me smile!

2014 Favourites

Choosing an entire year of favourites and rolling it into one post proved to be a lot trickier than I originally expected! This year has absolutely flown by and I was lucky to have some really amazing moments so limiting it down to just a very few favourites was HARD! Read more

A Present to Me From Me: AKA The Outnet Haul (Part 1)

I have been very good this Christmas and got the majority of my gifts purchased, wrapped and under the tree already.  So while Christmas is the season of giving, I just couldn’t resist getting on my own sneaky present "to me from me"!  Personally I blame The Outnet for having one of their amazing Clearance sales during the Christmas present buying season.

Everyone from department stores to luxury brands to high street labels now have their own version. This will be the first year I’m going to invest in one (or two or maybe three!) and thought I’d share my comprehensive research in case anyone else is confused and undecided. Read more

Thoughts of the Month: The Single Phobia
