Barbie Girl

I mentioned in a recent wish list I was going to find myself a pair of these patent pink beauties by hook or by crook and hurrah I finally have them! Read more

22nd July 2015

I think everybody has a staple look which they love and feel uber comfortable in. I have one of two outfits which I consider to be my everyday uniform and wear alllll the time. It's either an oversized jumper paired with skinny jeans or a bodycon skirt with tights and a stack heeled ankle boot. It's simple, casual and puts comfort first which is totally me! Read more

Dunagreed!!

I distinctly remember my mum wearing dungarees when I was little and being mortifyingly embarrassed whenever she had them on which was most of the time. I swore to myself I would never look so ridiculous in all my life! So it is with my tail between my legs I declare my recent obsession with this particular item of clothing and how I finally understand why my mother never took them off as I'm currently living in mine.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Review

Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream has been on my wish list for quite a while but after a recent bout of problem skin I've been wary to add any new products into the mix. Also, at £70 a pot I really didn't want to splash out just to find out it wasn't right for me. Happily however, I found myself the perfect compromise in the NetaPorter Beauty Kit. Here are my honest thoughts on this pricey moisturiser. Read more

Handbag Snoop

Today I thought I'd do a "What's in my Handbag" style post. I've been using this bag everyday for a while and it feels like I'm carrying a brick around, so even I'm keen to have a snoop in the ol' handbag! Read more

That New Dress Travels: First LA Life Update

I've spent two incredible weeks in LA and it has been everything I dreamed of and more. It definitely leaves London in the cold, dark (and wet) shadows. This is everything I've been up to so far. Read more

My Skincare Regime

I have annoyingly suffered from problem prone, sensitive skin ever since I hit my teen years. There've been moments where my skin has been so bad it has wrecked havoc with my confidence and stopped me leaving the house. Thankfully as I've got older it has improved, partly with the help of antibiotics and partly by working out what type of products work for me. Read more

The Treat of all Treats

Before I jetted off to LA I spent my penultimate day at one of my favourite places, Bicester Village. It was the final girly time I'd got spend with my mum, so we decided to do what we do best... Shopping! Also, I had heard Givenchy had recently opened a boutique there and I was keen to check it out and get spendy! Read more

That New Dress Travels: Ibiza Haul (Part 1)

I know I said only the other day I was on a shoe buying ban because I have far too many as it is, so it's with my tail between my legs I have to admit to having a shoe buying frenzy in Ibiza and came home with an additional 5 pairs! This was my first trip to Ibiza and I loved it including all the shopping! Read more

That New Dress Travels: Reinventing Old Looks

I think we all fall victim to fashion fads at some point or another. The fashion faux pas I really embraced in the past was the bodycon dress. I have way too many, so I've been exploring ways on how to restyle them recently. Read more

Last week I did a post about my 10 piece capsule wardrobe but we all know no wardrobe is complete without shoes! In fact, shoes are my favourite bit about dressing and my biggest shopping weakness. Therefore, it only seems right I blogged my 5 capsule shoe collection (plus one cheeky addition). Read more

Thoughts of the Month: Sleepless in San Francisco

I just came back from a week long trip in California where I spent 3 days in LA and 3 in San Francisco. While LA stole my heart I was left shocked and dismayed by San Fran. I thought I'd share why I found it such a difficult city to be in. Read more

My 10 Piece Capsule Wardrobe

If I had to limit my wardrobe to 10 key pieces I'd be pretty unhappy about it because I love clothes and lots of them! However if I really had to, I could easily whittle it down. This 10 piece capsule wardrobe are essentials to have in any closet regardless of its size. Read more

Thoughts of the Month: Soldiering On

The reality of life is there are plenty of people in this world who are more successful than you but equally there are so many still striving to achieve what you have already, even though it sometimes may not feel like it. Staying motivated and soldiering on is the key to reaching those goals. I've had to overcome numerous tricky obstacles but somehow or another I always made it through. This is what I've learned so far: Read more

Goodies from the Charlotte Simone Sample Sale

When I heard about the Charlotte Simone sample sale I knew it wasn't one to be missed! I hurried over to Baker Street mid morning on Wednesday 1st April, where the head offices are with a spring in my step. I got there at around 11:30am and queued (a necessary evil when it comes to samples sales) for around 20 minutes and this is what I scored... Read more

That New Dress Travels: Poolside with For Love and Lemons

I couldn't resist this little pink number from For Love and Lemons. It was recently mentioned in my February Wish List where I said it was a holiday must have.

That New Dress Travels: Dubai Suprises

I've been lucky enough to have visited Dubai several times and although I have A LOT of love for it, I wouldn't label it the most beautiful place I've been in the world. The truth is you know you're in Dubai when you can hear and see a hella lot of construction! So imagine my surprise when I stayed in the Marina district for a couple of days and was truly blown away by the spectacular views and humming atmosphere. Read more

Flight Survival

Flying is not something I love, in fact I think loathe is a better word to describe it. However, it is part of the parcel if you want to travel and see the world, so over the years I've learned some basic tips to keep the airport stress to a minimum and the boredom of flying at bay. Read more

Thoughts of the Month: Letter To My Younger Self

I was recently brought crashing down to earth with a thud when I realised my little bubby sister is not so little anymore. Once she'd turned 13 she overnight became a young lady with her own thoughts, challenges and demons. While thinking about how I can be there for her through these tricky adolescent years I began thinking about my turbulent teens and if I could go back what would I change. While I don't believe in regrets, there are pointers I could definitely have done with. This is a letter to my younger self.... Read more

Simba’s Birthday (PART 1) – The Hungry Hounds Bakery

I know this post may seem a little “crazy dog lady” but firstly, I don’t care and secondly, every now and again it is fine to indulge in some craziness! Last weekend marked the start of Simba’s birthday week. He officially turns 3 on 27th February, making him a mighty 21 in human years. He celebrated in style with a cake from The Hungry Hounds Bakery which he shared with his doggy friend, Bear. Read more

Thoughts Of The Month: It’s OK…

Blogs have a habit of creating this perfect life illusion but remember behind every glossy image is many hours of mooching about in trackies with messy hair and imperfect skin. When I write these kinds of “life advice” posts I want them to reflect reality, not fantasy. What I want to say is IT IS OK not to be perfect. Sometimes (actually quite often) I’m grumpy, unmotivated, feisty or temperamental. These are not my favourite characteristics but they are a part of me and IT IS OK. Read more

Sunday Bumblings

After a relaxing weekend of doing nothing but enjoying time with friends and family in the blissful countryside, I thought I'd reminisce with a post embracing that laid-back, comfy Sunday styling I love so much. Also, it's a chance to show you my new furry gilet I just got from Topshop! Read more

Sophia Webster – Magic Unicorn Shoes

These are very un-me shoes and I never thought I'd purchase a pair of skater style slip ons. I generally find they're quite clumpy and that sporty look just isn’t usually me. HOWEVER, how could I resist these Sophia Webster beauties? I mean they have unicorns on them! When I saw them it was one of those "I absolutely have to have them" moments! Read more

Oohhh… It’s My Birthday!

I'm one year older (as of yesterday) and probably not a darn bit wiser! There is no escaping adulthood now and possibly even botox! This year I thought I'd keep it a bit more sophisticated and host a dinner party for my family and BFF in the depths of the countryside Read more
