THE HIGH STREET SHIRT WE ALL NEED!!

Nothing beats finding a high-street hero which looks like it should be from some fancy and expensive brand but is actually so purse friendly it makes you giddy. As we all know I love a white shirt but this isn't any ol' white shirt! It has ruffles, the most incredible statement sleeves (if you like a bell sleeve, you can't get better than this one!) and an open back. Read more

DECIPHERING THE LANGUAGE OF SCENT

For me, the scent you wear says so much about you. Smell is incredibly evocative and emotional and can have so much meaning. Perfumery has its own language and terms, so in this post I wanted to decipher the language of scent and delve into some of its meaning. Read more

REVIEW: J’ADIOR SLING BACK BALLET PUMP

I'm currently having a "Dior moment". In my eyes, Dior and it's Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chuiri, can do no wrong. I love its beauty and elegance with the cool edge Grazia Chuiri has recently brought to the brand. The J'adior slingback have been the "must have" shoes of the 2017. I'm sharing my thoughts on them and if they are worth the hype. Read more

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUXURY AND AFFORDABLE SKIN CARE

I am a skincare junkie. After fashion, it's my biggest indulgence. As someone who suffered from acne for years, I know how crippling it can be for your confidence. Given my past experiences, I am prepared to throw silly amounts of money on products that promise to keep me blemish free. However, I've also learned the bigger the price tag, doesn't necessarily mean the better the product. Read more

THE ASOS BRAND I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF

MAKING A FULL LENGTH DRESS DAYTIME APPROPRIATE

I am a sucker for a full-length lace dress and if it has frills and embroidery, then all the better! As gorgeous as they are, the problem is they're not the most wearable of pieces, particularly during the day. I've recently been playing with ways I can make my evening dress, more daytime appropriate. Read more

How to Add Your Own Stamp to Any Look

Whenever I'm pulling a look together I'm constantly thinking about how I can add my own twist and make an outfit more "me". Each and every one of us have a distinctive and identifiable style but occasionally it can be hard to add our own stamp to a new trend. This is how I stay true to my own look. Read more

Is nspa Hot Cloth Polish a Dupe for Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish?

I'm a big believer in not overspending in unnecessary places, as it leaves more money in the kitty for shoes! If I can find a product which does the same job for half the price, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm buying that one. When I discovered nspa, a budget line with high-end results, I knew I had to give it a whirl. These are my thoughts on this dupe. Read more

New in my Wardrobe & Beauty Cupboard

I've put this post together to share all the new bits and pieces I've recently added to my ever expanding wardrobe and beauty cupboard.

A Hidden Gem in London: Sign of the Times

It almost pains me to write this post, as this is a store I'd quite happily keep as my little secret! Sign of the Times is a treasure trove for preloved luxury fashion. As you all know I like to shop savvy, so I do tend to try and find designer items either on sale or preloved. If you're on the hunt for luxury for less this is a must read. Read more

Empties #2

It’s been almost a year since my last empties post, so I thought it was high time for part 2. I always like these posts because when a beauty fanatic uses every drop of a product, it has to be a good one. However, the difference between a good product and a great one, all comes down to whether you'd repurchase it. Read more

Wear It On Your Chest

These days instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve, I wear my thoughts on my chest. The older I get, the more I realise how important it is to front the causes you believe in. Don't shy away from them, instead support them loud and proud and share their message be emblazoning it on a tee! Read more

Did Someone Say Balmain on SALE!?

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve talked endlessly about the sales and bagging a bargain and this post demonstrates exactly why I’ve been a one-track record recently. I’ve been a fan of Balmain for the last decade but as it’s so expensive I’ve mostly only admired it from afar. However, in the last 2 weeks, I’ve managed to add 3 new Balmain pieces to my wardrobe, thanks to some rather savvy sale shopping. I'm sharing my recent purchases and where the best places to bag Balmain on sale are. Read more

As you've probably realised already I have a bit of a weakness for shopping, particularly luxury shopping!

Colour Blocking with the 1-2-1 Rule

Some of you may have heard of the 1-2-1 rule currently doing the fashion circuit at the moment which has been termed as a "fashion failsafe". The 1-2-1 rule dictates an outfit should be made up of two block colours, one colour is worn on your top half and shoes and the second is sandwiched in between. The idea is for it to streamline your look and keep you looking chic even on those super rushed mornings. Read more

The Most Expensive Shoes I Have Ever Purchased

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen these boots already as I recently took to the 'gram to ask if I should keep them or return them.

Obviously, I listened to my Insta fam and they now hold a very special title in my wardrobe, the most expensive shoes I have ever purchased! Read more

And so Wedding Season Begins…

Wedding season has officially begun, although fear not, as I've already done all the required dress research and found the perfect one.
