My Lockdown Wardrobe with FEMME LUXE

Welcome back to the blog.! I'm so excited to say that today's post is in collaboration with Femme Luxe. We've been in lockdown now for god knows how many weeks and although we seem to find ourselves moving into the first phases of getting back to normal, I think it's safe to say that we'll be spending a lot more time at home for a long time yet to make sure everyone stays safe. That means the comfy clothes are here to stay -  so let's talk loungewear.!!

Travel with Style | Chill Car Insurance AD

Today's post is a collaboration with Chill Car Insurance. They have just launched a new campaign all about exploring the most beautiful spellbinding and scenic drives that Ireland has to offer. 

I for one am so happy to be collaborating with them on this campaign as some of my favorite childhood memories are driving around the country on holidays with my family. If you knew my Dad you'd know that he loved going for 'a spin' - so naturally most of our holidays growing up involved driving around the country and my Dad always liked to take the long way around for those views.!

Interview With A Blogger | Girlyinspocorner

Welcome back to another instalment of my interview series where I ask some of my favorite  bloggers some questions in the hope to get to know more about the person behind the blog and of course share my inspirations with you. This week I'm delighted to introduce you guys to the beautiful Arene from Girlyinspocorner.

I'm a big fan of Arlene and particularly obsessed with her instagram account (@girlyinspocorner). Her feed is major style goals and her stories are definitely on my list of people to watch every day. So I was over the moon when I reached out and she agreed to answer a few questions.  Here's how it went....

I always like to start off with a easy question (but some might say the most important) - Tea or Coffee?

Tea in the morning it’s like a hug in a mug but coffee all day it’s necessary to keep me going lol 

What made you decide to start blogging? 

For me blogging was all accidental I never set out to blog just thought it was a great idea to keep a diary of why you have in your wardrobe and it all progressed from there honestly can’t believe how far I have come.

Celine Initial Necklace: Get the Look for Less

The latest trend to hit our instagram feed has been initial necklaces. It all started with a few fashionista's wearing it in the front row at fashion week and blew up into this insta famous trend. 

The original bamboo textured design came from French fashion house Celine (who have since released a updated scrabble like version *shop here*) but if you shop around there are still a few of the original Celine design pendants floating around especially on sites that resell designer pieces. I have found a few on the Vestiaire Collective site *shop here* they vary in price depending on the letter but be warned they are VERY expensive. Honestly they're overpriced but I suppose that's down to how trendy they have become so they've upped the price for the demand.

Thank U, Next.!

Happy Gal-entines my loves.!! 

I'm officially OBSESSED with Ariana Grande's Thank U Next album - I've been listening to it on repeat since it came out.! I don't know what it was but the second I started listening to it I just got inspired and wanted to recreate her fabulous album cover - her music just made me want to get up and grind... "happiness is the price of red bottoms" and all (and they're not cheap.!!)

Interview With A Blogger | 925 Style

Welcome back to another installment of my Interview With A Blogger series.! Todays interview is with the fabulous 925 Style.

For anyone who doesn't know 925 Style is an anonymous blogger who shares the best workwear style.! I absolutely love scrolling through 925 Style's instagram page to get inspiration - Im also kinda obsessed with her hat.! 925 Style has also launched a personal online shopping experience called 925Styled on her website which provides an effortless and convenient shopping experience.

I was so happy when 925 Style said she'd take part in the series as I was dying to find out more about the blogger under that fab hat.! Here's how our interview went...

I always like to start off with a easy question (but some might say the most important) - Tea or Coffee? 

Tea. Several cups a day 

What made you decide to start blogging?
I have always loved fashion. I started 925 Style because there was no blog focusing on workwear and it didn't make sense to me, since they are the clothes you have to wear everyday. All clothes I feature are available to buy now, making it easy for everyone to dress well and feel good about themselves. That is what it's all about!

Interview With A Blogger | Emtalks

Hello my loves and welcome to my first post of the New Year.! This year I'll be continuing my interview with a blogger series and I'm super excited to have to have Em Sheldon from Emtalks on the blog.!

Em is one of my favorite UK bloggers. You can find anything from beauty & fashion to fitness & wellbeing on her blog and I'm obsessed with her YouTube videos.! - every time I watch any of her try on haul videos I'm like 'yup adding THAT to my basket.!' I've gotten many an outfit on her recommendation!

I was so delighted that Em was able to take the time to answer a few of my questions...

I always like to start off with a easy question (but some might say the most important) - Tea or Coffee? 

Tea! I love green tea but then again, I am a sucker for a latte but I’ll go with tea as it’s the thing I drink the most! I am from Yorkshire too so maybe that’s why, Yorkshire tea is famous haha. 

What made you decide to start blogging? 

I started blogging as a way to show my love for writing on my personal statement for my university application.

Oh Deer | Halloween Makeup Tutorial

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MONTH.!!

I love October - not only is it by birthday but it's Halloween.!! By far Halloween is my favorite holiday (yes even over Christmas) I love how its all spooky and creepy and its the one time of the year that you can really play around with makeup and get creative.!!

Every year I love to paint my face for Halloween - even if I go nowhere I'll be walking around the house looking all sorts of crazy.! This year's first look is a cute deer that is perfect for anyone who going to a last minute Halloween part and doesn't know what to go as just whip of some bonzer and pop your hair up in space buns and your off.! (Alternatively if you don't have a white eyeliner in your makeup bag use a black eye liner to draw leopard print marks to replace the white dots)
