    Jumper New Look  | Shirt Topshop | Kirsty Allsopps Bath Creamers Kit C/O HobbyCraft

    I like to pretend I’m Mary Berry or Peggy Porschen, but if you tasted what I had baked you wouldn’t believe me. So, until I get one of those super fancy Kenwood Mixer’s I won’t be baking for a while, is it too early to start a Christmas 2015 wishlist? Instead I thought I’d best focus my efforts on another hobby. With the blustery winds it has forced us to stay inside (unless we wanted to be blasted across the Atlantic at 50mph) so I turned my attention this rather cute set from the Kirsty Allsopp range at HobbyCraft. With this beautiful, rose-scented bath creamer kit I can create a number of little homemade gifts shaped like little cupcakes for the ones I love, so that’s exactly what I set to doing. It’s super simple & I used our microwave to create them. The fanstastic smells of rose, almond, shea and cocoa have left our house smelling divine. I hand delivered these to my Mum, Sister & Nana and they were all delighted. A lazy afternoon making these, was an afternoon well-spent to see their faces light up with an impromptu, handmade gift! Have you tried any of the kits from Kirsty Allsopp’s range, if so which ones?

    Top New Look | Trousers New Look | Loafers Aldi | Bracelets Mulberry & C/O Links of London

    Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, I just want to rock a super casual look. Pale blue & patterned trousers are possibly two of my favourite looks at the moment and will be firmly coming in to the spring time with me. I tend to go oversized on most of my top garments, purely to cover up the ever growing lumps that I can graciously call my breasts. You laugh, but they can be a pain in the bottom. The loafers are a bargain buy that I found in Aldi (yes, you did hear me right. Aldi.) and they are really comfy. I just adore my bracelets and despite being two different metals, rose gold and silver, respectively, they just add to any outfit. It’s all about the details. Have you picked up any pieces that you were surprised of the quality recently?

    Co-Ord Set C/O Blue Vanilla | Knee High Boots New Look | Clutch John Lewis | Watch Olivia Burton | Bracelet C/O Links of London

    Sometimes before I put on an outfit I look at it & I automatically pull one of those ‘’distressed emoji’’ faces. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Will it fit me in the right places? Will I look like an ‘’Oompa Loompa’’? But then, then you put it on and all those fears are completely quashed because you have fallen on to an absolute winner. You also know that feeling, right? This is that outfit. I teamed this fabulous co-ord from Blue Vanilla with my brand new boots from the New Look Sale & clutch from the John Lewis sale, respectively. This is clearly going to be one of those staple, go-to outfits in the blustery, winter months we are having! I hope you are all wrapping up warm & keeping safe in these treacherous winds. I’m very much looking forward to the spring time, are you?

  • Review: BaByliss Diamond Hair Dryer | QueenBeady

    Review: BaByliss Diamond Hair Dryer | QueenBeady

    I never really feel compelled to write beauty posts. I’m no good at beauty so there is no point in preaching about a subject that I have absolutely zero clue about! However, after my loving Mr C purchased me my new favourite fragrance, Reveal by Calvin Klein ( you must go & have a spray as it is just deliciously good!) he also bought me a new hairdryer as mine went KAPUT! After hours of scouring the internet he fell upon the Babyliss Diamond HairDryer which had a substantial saving on the Boots website. For me, a hairdryer is a hairdryer but this, is so much more!

    My hair is fine & thick, that is a fact & espite having quite a lot chopped off in November it still requires a lot of maintenance. Normally my hair would take a good twenty minutes to half an hour to dry & that wasn’t before I even started styling it! I never thought there would be a solution to creating a chic look without too much effort. But alas, with my new hairdryer my hair now only takes 5 minutes or so to dry and not only that it styles fabulously well just by brushing my ends under to create a cute long bob. A look that I’m trying to channel which is reminiscent of Olivia Palermo’s gorgeous style, TOTAL BABE!

    Now, I’m not going to go super techy & explain all the scientific information – I’m just going to read it off the box!Because of the diamond infused ceramic technology it means your hair is silky smooth and requires very little products to style it, it does all the work for you! My hair is so prone to frizz & now it is a thing of the past (I so totally sounded like I was on an advert there!) I most definitely would give this hairdryer a glowing 5 star review and by the looks of things, I’m not the only one! My straighteners are currently on the backburner, they are that good! Have you recently invested in a new product that makes your life much easier?

    Top Fred Perry | Jeans C/O DressKode

    So, Christmas is a time for friends & family oh and wait a minute… overindulging! So much so that I was recently bulging at the seams trying to fit in to an outfit I wanted to share with you. My wonderful cousin stepped in to my shoes & paraded around in my latest arrival from DressKode & obviously rocked it. The high waisted jeans are super flattering & can pull in any waist (except, maybe not mine!) She teamed it with a pink Fred Perry top which is one of her absolute staple pieces. She was quite taken with these jeans and said that they were surprisingly comfy too. Thank goodness for my mini-me stepping in! Have you overindulged over the festive period too?
