Whilst in Sephora during our trip to the US I was sucked in by the aisle of temptation... For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of stepping into a Sephora store, this is the area by the tills full to the brim of travel sized offerings from some of your favourite beauty brands. It takes some serious will power to get to the till without adding something to your basket. In this particular instance, I decided to grab a few items which I hadn't had the pleasure of trying yet.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask - I'd wanted to try this mask for such a long time, so when i saw the tavelsized version I had to give it a try. It's a really hydrating overnight mask that my skin is loving! Personally for me it's a mask that, at the moment I only need to use once a week or so. But as first impressions go, I am really loving it and will probably repurchase in the larger sized tube when I finish. 

Stila Liquid Lipsticks Trio - Because I am terrible at remembering to wear lipsticks, a lot of lip products get forgotten & ultimately expire. The fact that this trio came in miniature form, was ideal for me. Their small size means not only can I try them out before committing to a full sized item. I am also more likely to actually finish the product up. This trio includes the ever so popular Patina, alongside the lighter shades 'Baci' & 'Perla'.

IT Cosmetics CC Cream - Well! Once this little tube is finished, I will be purchasing this full 32ml tube for sure. After hearing many a youtuber rave about this product I had to give it a go. The Aisle of temptation provided me with this tiny tube to try and it was love at first use! I only need a tiny amount for my whole face, which I buff in with a kabuki brush. It's the prefect product for the days where I don't want a heavy base but all of the coverage!

Kat Von D 'Saint' Perfume - Rather than go down the free perfume sample route, I just went all guns blazing & purchased the handbag version of this scent. Whilst I do think the free sample vials are the way to go when it comes to trying a new scent, I just couldn't resist this pretty 10ml offering. This is the one of the first perfumes by Kat Von D & I am in love. I will be getting myself a full sized bottle for sure.,, perhaps one to pop on the Christmas list!

Sephora Favourites: Lashstash to go - Mascara is something I like to switch up often. Therefore purchasing travelsized versions like those in this handy little set is ideal. I've actually only used 1 of these so far (Too faced better than sex) so I still have some time to get through the others. Travel minis are a great way to try a different mascara without the worry of wasting your money if you don't get on with it.

As you can see I'm pretty happy with all the minis that I purchased, it's likely I'll be repurchasing some of them in their full sized glory. That's the beauty of these product minatures, you don't have to fully commit before deciding if its something that works for you. They are always pretty reasonably priced and they are within the 100ml limit for when you travel! Win Win! 

When a new pizzeria opens up near by, it's pretty much a dead cert that I will be aware of it. As a self confessed pizza obsessive, I clocked the Franco Manca restaurant on the riverside in Reading before it had officially opened it's doors. So you can imagine my delight when an email popped in my inbox inviting me to to a complimentary dinner and wine tasting event one weekday evening. 

For those of you that don't know. Franco Manca is a pizzeria specializing in the traditional neopolitan soft base pizzas. The first restaurant opened in Brixton back in 2008, and as it's popularity has grown, more have opened throughout London and the South of England. Their ingredients are fresh and sourced from suppliers within the British Isles and Europe. The top dogs/Head Chefs from Franco Manca even go out on a team building exercise, hunting for the wild garlic they use in their pesto.

The Menu may be relatively simple, consisting of 6 pizza options but that doesn't mean it doesnt lack variety. We were treated to several different meats & cheeses to start. Of which included buffalo Mozzerella prepared 3 different ways accompanied by wild boar salami, wild pig salami and Prosciutto from Langhirano. In addition to this garlic and rosemary flatbed was served with Goats cheese and Franco Mancas freshly made garlic pesto. I can tell you, those platters didn't stay full for long. We all enjoyed the selection of antipasi dishes. 

The event itself was really chilled and relaxed. While we sipped on fresh homemade lemonade, and no logo beers, we were given the chance to watch as head chef Alfie showed us how Franco Manca prepare their infamous sour dough. He explained how all the dough is made in-house a day in advance. This 24 hour fermentation period ensures the dough has a good texture, great taste and added nutritional values. Alfie showed us the correct mixing technique used to create the perfect sourdough along with the ingredients required. For the perfect dough, Starter is used in the mixture rather than dry yeast. This 'living food' of flour & water contains a yeast  producing good bacteria, which is a vital ingredient for the perfect sourdough base. In Readings Franco Manca, the kitchen is open plan, meaning you can see the various chefs fulfilling orders from the comfort of your seat. Despite the small work area, they work efficiently and quickly to get the pizzas out, helped hugely by the large wood fired stone oven which cooks the pizzas within about 50 seconds! Now that is fast food!

*I was invited to Franco Manca,  for a complimentary tasting however all views are my own and not influenced by this in any way.* 

Just a couple of items I've recently purchased. 

I'm in no way trying to create a capsule/minimal wardrobe, however I am trying to a) inject a bit of colour and b) pick classic items that I can easily mix and match. It's a slow process, but I'll get there.

Gone are the days where I lug around a huge handbag at the weekends, I much prefer a smaller cross body number like this red one, which is an absolute steal at £15.. I have two other bags of this style also from Accessorize, so it's safe to say they are fast becoming a favourite of mine! Just the right size for all your weekend essentials. 

I do love my ankle boots, But the pairs I already have are all very similar. I'm craving a bit of variety. It was about time I bought myself a pair that were a little different, therefore opted for these open toe cut out ones from River Island. They're very comfortable, look a bit fancier than anything I already own and aren't too expensive. An all round winning pair of boots.  I've found myself looking at River Island more and more recently. They've got a really great range of items out at the moment, gone are the days where it was all neons and sequins! 

I've wanted a classic Levis T-shirt for a long time. After seeing it pop up on Instagram multiple times, the fashion gods were on my side & ASOS provided this offering. I feel that sometimes a branded T-shirt like this one can make it look like you've made more of an effort. Does anyone else ever feel that way? It's just a little more stylish? Do I even make sense? Jeans, converse, a branded T-shirt and jacket...also with the addition of a across body bag = an instant 'well thought out' outfit. - Well I think so anyway!

So there you have it. A simple little post from me. Going a bit 'old school' in terms of blog posts, but I think that's the direction I want to go now. Little tidbits of my life, nothing to complicated, nothing too fancy. 

Much love,

Oh hello, long time no speak. So it appears I decided to take a bit of a laid back approach to blogging and when I say laid back, I mean not blog at all! Usual excuse, life gets in the way bla bla bla. Basically, I've come to the realisation that I do not blog as a job, it is a hobby. Therefore if I want to be sporadic in posting then I will! The world will not end if I don't post on the regular! Anyway I digress... I wanted to come back at you all with a bit of a payday A/W wishlist post thing. In my time away I've gone from being one of those girls that doesnt like to shop much, to the girl working out if Beans on toast is an okay meal to have daily for the rest of the month because I've spent too much... . So without further ado, here are some of my A/W picks. 

Tea Dress | Ruffle Top | Fur Gilet | Parka Coat | Leopard Scarf | Grey Jumper | Ripped Jeans | Pink Jumper | Coated Skinny Jeans | Button Skirt |   Embroidered Boots | Leopard Boots | Khaki Aviator Jacket | Leopard Trainers | Black Slip ons | Black Tea Dress | Embroidered Top | Black ankle boots | Embroidered Chain Bag 

I love the colder months for layering, so that's where my head is at right now when it comes to shopping! Think pretty tea dresses with ankle boots and fab jackets. Snuggly jumpers and building on those basics, all the comfortable trainers and cosy scarves! I am thinking about the upcoming months too, I really want to get the Parka jacket for our trip to Amsterdam in November along with the leopard trainers. A purrrfect (ha did I really just do that) addition for the girl that lives in black clothing! I'm also trying to plan ahead and think of Christmas and (dare I say it) NYE. I don't think it's ever too early to be looking for a party dress, the season is approaching guys! We need to be prepared! Even if you are just going out for a meal with work/friends, its nice to have something a little more special to wear! 

What have you been buying this season? Chances are once I've finished this post I'll probably be making an online order for a couple of the above bits!

Much love, 

It's September so it is acceptable to start shopping for our Autumn/Winter wardrobe... or at least start looking at whats out there on offer! I usually spend most of the colder months in ankle boots, so naturally they would be one of the first items I would start looking around for! The other week when I was browsing the beauty section on the House of Fraser website, I decided to continue to browse through other departments and start book marking a few bits and bobs I liked the look of. Before I knew it I'd bookmarked a fair few footwear choices so it made sense to share them with you in case you were in the market looking for some new ankle boots for the upcoming months

Carvela Tanga Heeled Boots | Mint Velvet Taupe Betty Boots | Miss KG Soho Low heel boots |  Miss Selfridge peep toe boot | Dune Pander Boots | Carvela Shooter Low Heel Boots

As you can see I've gone for some classic styles and then some other curve balls like the open toe boot from Miss Selfridge. There's a girl who gets the same train as me in the mornings to work and she always wears boots like these, Over time they've grown on me and now I would like a pair! I also would like to experiment with boots other than the colour black! So the Dune Pander boots ended up being bookmarked, as they are a really nice burgandy shade which I think would look great paired with a classic pair of black skinny jeans or even with little tea dresses and tights. I am a low heel or flat boot kind of gal, so they would be perfect for the upcoming months! I'll probably end up buying a pair in October after payday!

Much love, 

This month I am on a mission to get going with reading again. I've got slack these past few months and now I am pretty behind on my 2016 reading challenge, so September is the month I am going to try and make up for not getting though much recently! If you read my posts last week you will know that we are going on holiday this month so I am hoping a week of lying by the pool will enable to me to get some serious reading time in. The following 3 books are ones that I definitely want to read during September. So fingers crossed I achieve that!

To all the Boys I've loved before - Jenny Han.

Lara Jean keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. One for every boy she's ever loved. When she writes, she can pour out her heart and soul and say all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only.Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

I picked this up in a charity shop (another 95p special!) Everyone needs a little bit of chick lick to read poolside! I remember this doing the rounds online when it first came out and I believe it had decent reviews. It's one I think I will fly through while on holiday. The text is quite big and spaced out aswell, which usually is an indication that I'll read through it releatively quickly. 

 A fortunate age - Joanna Rakoff

Living in crumbling Brooklyn apartments, holding down jobs as actors and writers and eschewing the middle-class sensibilities of their parents, graduates of the prestigious Oberlin College, Lil, Beth, Sadie, Emily, Dave and Tal believe they can have it all. When the group come together to celebrate a marriage,anything seems possible. But soon the reality of rent, marriage and family will test them all. For this fortunate age can't last for ever, and the group must face adulthood, whether they are ready for it or not. Sprawling and richly drawn, A Fortunate Age traces the lives of the group during some of the most defining years of modern America - from the decadence of the dot com boom through to the sobering events of September 11 and the trailing years that followed - this brilliant, ambitious debut novel perfectly captures the hopes, anxieties and dreams of a generation.

I thought this would be quite an interesting read considering its based about the realities of becoming an adult and the obstacles you may face. More so as it is based around the time of some serious world issues, which I am quite intrigued as to how the author has gone about writing the characters experiences. I will admit I was drawn to the bright colours of the cover because yes I AM SOMEONE WHO JUDGES BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS (sometimes) 

In her Wake - Amanda Jennings

A tragic family event reveals devastating news that rips apart Bella's comfortable existence. Embarking on a personal journey to uncover the truth, she faces a series of traumatic discoveries that take her to the ruggedly beautiful Cornish coast, where hidden truths, past betrayals and a 25-year-old mystery threaten not just her identity, but her life.Chilling, complex and profoundly moving, In Her Wake is a gripping psychological thriller that questions the nature of family - and reminds us that sometimes the most shocking crimes are committed closest to home.

This weekend, if you fancy treating yourself to some new beauty bits you need to either get online or head on down to your local House of Fraser as they've got a pretty good deal going on featuring lots of popular brands. Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, NARS & YSL to name a few. Perhaps you need another bottle of  Double wear, you've been eyeing up one of my Urban Decay Naked Palettes or like me, you require a new bronzer to help your summer tan last. HOF should be your go to store. 

Urban Decay Naked Palette  |  NARS Creamy Concealer | Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation | Lancome Hypnose Mascara | Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation | NARS Blush | Bobbi Brown Bronzer 

The Naked palette is a makeup collection staple. It has a lovely range of shades which are perfect to take you from Day to night. If you want a palette that will provide you with Neutral, bronzey and smokey eye looks then this one has it all. Giorgio Armani Luminous silk is a treat foundaiton for me but god it's good, so good I wore it as my foundation on my wedding day. As it doesn't have SPF in it, it's really good for photographs & comes in a huge variety of shades! Combine the NARS Creamy concealer and you are onto a winner. If you like foundations to be full coverage and not budge all day, ELDW should be your pick, one I am always repurchasing this! NARS blushers are my favourite as they are so pigmented and again, they are available in such a good selection of shades! I've got a few Bobbi Brown products and this bronzer is a new addition, which I am sure I will enjoy using. 

Much love, 

I’ve tried many different soaps and cleansers to clean the little pink teardrop, however there is one soap that has come up on top and that is the Dr Bronner Liquid Soap. I bought mine in TKMaxx, however you can purchase it from Feel Unique for the same price I paid which is £8.99. However you can purchase orther size bottles depending on how much you want to pay. It comes in a variety of different scents (I have unscented!) so you’re bound to find one that you find most pleasing.  I also use this soap for my makeup brushes, so worth checking out if you only have brushes to clean too! 

It’s very easy to clean the beauty blender, you just need to follow these instructions;

You know me, I love a good highlight. Powder, liquid, cream. I'm not picky, as long as it gives me that glow I am a happy bunny! My collection is always growing as more and more brands bring out new products, and this month, Mary Kay have launched their Glowing finish illuminating sticks which come in three different shades; Gold, Silver or Bronze - Getting full on Olympics vibes right now!

These illuminating sticks were created for you to either use alone - perfect to add a bit of glow to your tan while on holiday. (Because lets be honest, going mainly makeup free on holiday is the done thing) Or you can use them with your normal makeup to give your skin that added bit of glowiness. The cream formula means they are very easy to apply and can blend well. I alternate between creams and powders all the time. I tend to reach for my cream products in the summer months, so these have landed on my doorstep at the right time!

The gold shade is very gold,with quite chunky gold glitter particles in it. which whilst looks pretty, doesnt suit my skin tone too well. However I like to think of other ways I could use it & i feel it could work well as a cream shadow if I wanted to go for a really gold based eye look.

The Silver shade, isn't as silver as I was expecting, however it is still really nice as it has pink undertones. Therefore its  slightly more on the verge of rose gold than a true silver toned highlight, which isn't a bad thing. I feel it would be a good shade for those with paler skin. Unlike the gold shade there arent any large glitter particles, just pure illumination!

The bronze shade, is a true bronzey/slightly copper shade, which I know would look lovely when I have a tan from my holiday. Again unlike the gold shade, you cannot see any large glitter particles which I like. This one will probably be coming away with me when I go to the Canaries!

These glowing finish illuminators retail at £11 each, which if I am honest, I think is a little steep for the size that they are, However because they are small, it means they don't take up much room in your makeup bag so are perfect for traveling, or throwing into your handbag! Anyone else end up with various products floating around their bag? Just me? These are a nice addition to my highlight collection that I know I will get a fair bit of use out of going forward!

Have you tried anything by Mary Kay? What are your favourite kinds of highlight?

Much love,

I think you can all agree with me that when you have a tan, you will dress in a certain way to show it off. No I don't mean rocking up in the office after your trip in a tiny co-ord with lots of flesh on display. I mean, we focus more on wearing colours that will accentuate our tans after a week/2 weeks in the sun. The main culprit being white, I always like to save a white outfit for the end of our holiday if my tan isn't as epic as I like, the white dress will help! haha. Or I'll opt for some nice white blouses while back in the office. It's sad but I don't want to return home from a trip abroad and get the whole 'you arent very tanned, did you even go away' comments. Of course I practice safe sunbathing (Have a look at this post to see what sun protection I am taking with me away) but I like to focus on little things here and there which will help make me look super tanned. One of the most simple ways of doing this is to paint your nails coloours which compliment a tan. 

The most important thing to bare in mind when going on holiday to a hotter climate is sun protection. Over the years I have learnt from my mistakes and take it a lot more seriously than I did in the past. I remember mine and Toms first holiday together, we both got so sun burnt on our first day that it just put a downer on the rest of our break. Over the years I have become more aware of what I should and shouldn’t do while in the sun. Starting with the products I use. 

Now this is not necessarily sun protection, but I felt it was worth mentioning before I get to the nitty gritty. For the past 2 years pre holiday I have used the Elemis Tan Accelerator lotion 2 weeks before going away on holiday. It’s a moisturiser you use daily on the lead up to going away. The tosolin; which is made up from polysaccharides preps your skin for sun exposure, promoting a more natural deep tan. I can honestly say that going forward I will never go away without using this first. I find I get a much nicer colour, and don’t burn, now this may be in combination with my more savvy sun protection but it works, so is a product I will continue to use as part of my holiday prep!

Back in the day I would have opted for low factor sun creams from the get go. My thoughts were if I used a higher factor then I wouldn’t tan. The reality is, using a higher factor doesn’t completely stop you from getting a tan, it just reduces the speed that you do and protects your skin from the sun better, than if you were to say solely use factor 8 while away! These days for my body, I always start with a factor 30 for the first couple of days. Let’s be honest, it’s rare our skin sees proper sun in the UK so it’s probably a bit of a shock at first! My brand of choice for the last couple of years has been Piz Buin. I like to use the sun sensitive allergy versions, mainly because this type helps combat prickily heat.  Which if you are a sufferer of, know that it can get really bloody annoying when you have it! The result may be different on other people, but for me it really helps combat the issue! Towards the mid part to end of my holiday I will probably switch to a lower factor product. This year I have gone with the Hawaiian Tropic protectivedry oil in factor 15. (Now I may purchase factor 20 as well, just incase I don’t want to jump down a factor so drastically) Not only will this protect my skin it also moisturises at the same time. It is water resistant, but like all sun protection I always like to do a top up after being in the water, regardless if it says it won’t come off. It’s better to be safe than sorry! 

A lot of people like to reduce the amount of sun damage on their face, myself included. That is why this year I am taking the Vichy mattifying face fluid infactor 50 on holiday with me. I chose this firstly because of the high SPF and also that it’s mattifying. – I dislike my face feeling greasy in hot weather so this is the perfect product. Again it states that it is water resistant, but I will topping it up on regular intervals to ensure maximum protection.

Bardot Maxi | Denim Shorts | Floral Shorts | Playsuit | Black Sandals | Lace Espadrilles | Coral Bikini |  Blue Maxi | Cami Top | Denim Skirt 

There are probably a lot more holiday bits I’ll end up purchasing before we go away/during the summer months but these are a couple of items I will be sure to make sure I have in my suitcase this year! 

What are your holiday wardrobe essentials? 

Yes, we are in a heatwave, Yes it appears summer has arrived, however we saw the rain at Download. We saw the rain at Glastonbury. With many other festivals still to take place throughout the summer months, & the UK's weather is known to be unpredictable the last thing you want to do is be caught out with inappropriate footwear. You need the festival essential that is a pair of wellies.

When Butterfly twists asked if I wanted to feature another style of shoe from their brand I of course said yes. You may remember the Gabriella dalmatian fold up flats I blogged about a few months ago, that I was a huge fan of. Well Butterfly Twist offer other styles, and of course the most fitting for festival season are their wellies that have the flexibility to fold up! There are 3 different styles to choose from in multiple colour ways. The Carlise - a mock croc boot available in 3 classic colours. The Eton - a shorter ankle boot style available in 5 different colourways. Finally The Windsor - A taller version of the Eton but available in 9 different colours. I decided to pick the latter in a simple grey and black combination. I figured as most of my clothing is black it would be be wrong to shy away from my favourite colours ;-)

If you aren't wearing your wellies to your destination, I think you will agree that they do take up a bit of space. They are a bit bulky to lug around. The wellies from Butterfly twists are lightweight and flexible making them really easy to fold over and store in the little drawstring bag that gets sent with them. Thus  making them more compact & take up a lot less room. Also handy for after the festival if there is mud.... keep that mud contained and don't ruin the inside of your car! 

Unlike other brands that offer stylish wellies, the ones from Butterfly Twist are really affordable, with the most expensive pair being £60. For a pair of boots that will keep my feet warm in the rain and snow (I realise its July and talking about snow sounds ridiculous, but you know I've got to express my thoughts and opinions all all aspects of welly wearing! haha) The fabric band at the top of the Windsors are a god send, especially if you are wearing the boots to a festival with a cute summer dress or some cut off jeans. I really hate it when the tops of the wellies rub your legs! It's so frustrating. With these I dont even need to worry about getting wellie socks to protect myself. Win Win!

Will you be taking a pair of fold up wellies to your next festival? When the weather is so unpredicable its worth making sure you have something like this on standby, not worth getting your converse caked in mud and ruined! I'm going to Reading Festival this year and these will definitely be on my feet if it's chucking down with rain!

Much Love,

Long time readers will know that I tend to keep my skincare routine pretty simple. I stick to what I know and don't tend to experiment too much. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? However when I a package popped through my door with a selection of products from Yes to in it, I thought i'd break the rules a little and try a few new bits. You would have read my thoughts on the Yes to Cucumber cleansing gel in my Cleansers on trial blog post. If you haven't read that then, you can do that here, but another stand out product from the brand has to be the Yest to Carrots rich moisturising day cream. The Yes to Carrots range was the original of the Yes to family, over time they have grown and produced a lot of other ranges, leaving us with multiple products to try depending on how our skin behaves. My skin is pretty normal, with the odd dry patch here and there so the Yes to Carrots is perfect for me. Yes to Cucumber products are suitable for Sensitive Skin. Yes to Grapefruit is suitable for uneven skin. Yes to Tomatoes products are for those with Combination skin. Yes to Coconut is a range for those wanting to hydrate and restore their skin and finally Yes to Blueberries is for those who have fine lines and wrinkles. So as you can see they have everyone covered! Don't you just love it when a brand does that!

So onto the Rich Moisturising day cream* from the Carrot range. For those of you who like mostly natural products and those that are cruelty free, this is a brand for you. All the ranges include at least 95% natural ingredients. The following in particular can be found in this moisturiser... Carrots which are a natural antioxidant which will protect your skin. Shea Butter, which restores your skins suppleness and improves the appearance of dry skin. Sweet Almond Oil which acts as a brilliant natural moisturiser and Avacado which provides a natural source of Amino acides, vitamins A, D & E and finally potassium. All ingredients known to help protect and nourish the skin. Knowing that this is what goes into the moisturiser, there's no wonder that my skin feels amazing after using it. The product itself comes out in a medium consistency, which sinks in to your skin relatively quickly. I sometimes suffer with dry patches around my nose, since using this moisturiser daily, those patches have not made an appearance which is nice!

I really like the packaging of the product, the see through plastic enables me to see when I am running low. The pump dispenser makes it hygienic to use, and gives me control on how much I would like to dispense (Lets just think to what it's like using products without a pump...Estee Lauder doublewear anyone - yep lots of wastage) No wastage here! It retails for £9.99 I believe (Unless on offer) Which for a day cream I feel is pretty reasonable, especially as it works so well on my skin in particular. It's definitely one I will be repurchasing and recommending to my friends. In fact I had a few work colleagues over and ended up recommending it to them, what did they do? Go and have a little Yes To shopping session in boots that weekend!

Had you heard of any of these Yes To ranges before? Perhaps you've tried them. Let me know down in the comments!
