Coats on Coats on Coats

The one thing that makes me absolutely happy about the colder seasons is the fact that I can take out my favourite coats. 

Two of them are from Asos.com and Zara. Two of my favourites places to shop. Let me show you how I styled these. 

Designer Sample Sale UK

Hi All, 

I was recently invited to and attended my very first Designer Sample Sale (which I've always wanted to do since watching Confessions of a Shopaholic), called Designer Sale UK or for short DSUK. 

Created in the 80S, DSUK was founded by none other than the lovely Elaine Foster-Gandley  a woman with 25 years of retail fashion sales experience and who I also had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to. 




DSUK were created for us consumers who love fashion but cant always afford those high prices. Elaine Foster-Gandley saw a gap in the market and ran with it. 

Clothing racks and tables were filled with high end designers to newcomers from London Fashion week and to make it even better, there were one of pieces dotted all around, which made this designer sale all the more unique. 

Staff were all extremely friendly and helped out with finding certain pieces to styling and trying on pieces. The prices were shockingly low. Garments that were originally £300, where down to £70 and lower. Most prices were slashed by 50-90% off their RRP (Recommended Retail Price), which meant you wouldn't feel guilty nor could you go wrong. 

If you're into fashion bargains, one of a kind designer pieces, amazing deals and maybe even a vintage shopper then this is certainly for you. 

Get the VIP Treatment, with a glass of bubbly, 1 hour early entry and goody bag worth up to £60 or just come and pick up some goodies, DSUK is definitely the place to be.

Say No to Dry Skin

In the UK it's getting colder by the day and one thing that likes to creep up on us all is dry skin. I like my skin to look glowy, soft and completely moisturised all year round. 


I'm going to go through a rundown of all the products I use to keep my skin nice and supple throughout the colder months.

Body

For my body, I only use Pure coconut oil. No extra bits. I've found since using this, my skin complexion is so much more even and it stays soft for the entire day. There are no dry bits and you only need a small amount, other wise you'll just become greasy. 

Face and lips

For my face I use the Vitamin E moisturiser from The Body Shop. It locks in moisture and adds an effortless glow to the skin. 

For my lips, I use Carmex! it is mentholated and does exactly what it says. It's more healing to the lips and leaves them soft and moisturised for hours. Carmen is bae. 

Hands

People tend to neglect certain parts of their body when it comes to moisture. Mine is my hands. Sometimes I will walk outside and forget my hands. So while I was out I picked up a hand cream from The Body Shop. 

The Hemp Hand Protector is literally that. It protects against the cold and dry skin. My hands have never felt so soft in their life. It's almost healing. It feels amazing. 

So these are the products I use to keep my skin looking right for and throughout winter. 

Until next time,

My A/W 15' Shopping List

My favourite fashion season has finally arrived! A/W 15' is here! 

Everyone who knows me, has witnessed my love of Autumn/Winter fashion and lets face it, who doesn't love this season? 

Clothing is so much better in winter and style is so much greater, not to mention layering is the favourite thing for us girls to do (which then means we can eat more haha). But nonetheless, A/W is the best Fashion season. 

So to give you lot inspiration and to let you in on a sneak peak of the pieces I'll be going for. I've broken it down into categories. So grab a cup of tea and scroll on... 

Accessories

First things first - I like gold (mostly)and simplicity. Accessories come in the form of rings, necklaces and I'm going to start wearing watches and earrings again. These few pieces are must haves for me. 

Obsessed with engraved bar necklaces and name plates.

Cassio watches are classic and will be a staple accent.

Rings to stack and chuck on whenever.

         

Ear cuffs because, why not? 

Rucksacks 

I really miss my rucksack and haven't found one to replace it... Until now. I found two! One from Asos and One from Zara (which is currently out of stock but it will be mine). 

Zara

Asos

I do like my handbags but sometimes it's so much easier to chuck everything into a rucksack, sling it on your back and just go. 

Footwear

With my footwear I've decided to keep everything extremely simple, with a few pieces. 

Zara man has really caught my eye when it came to their trainer selection. Simple and block colours, with affordable prices. It's not everyday Nike, Adidas and Puma. Sometimes high street brands do well and especially in the men's department. With my size 6 feet, I will surely be cheeky and buy a few pairs. 

Public Desire for the boots dear. Public desire are extremely affordable and have such a range of shoes, you will be too spoilt for choice. However, I know what I want. Some thigh highs and ankle boots with cleated soles for traction on those rainy/slippery days. 

For a little glamour and sexy appeal I wanted to add some heels. Those nights out when you want to jazz up a quick outfit Y'know. All these are from asos. The ones I really love are those snake prints with the cleated sole - YASSSSSS HONEY. 

Clothing

A few pieces that I think are in the direction of the look I'm going for this season. 

 Again, all from asos. Either a low V basic Tee, high neck jumper or a little lace up detail will do me. Keeping cosy is a must but also being able to layer up with the Tee buy adding a cardigan, scarf and coat/jacket. Perfect. 

Jumper dress weather!!! Whether it's short or long. I need a few in my wardrobe. They can be worn on a cold girls night out, to work, uni or a casual day. Great and ready for anything. 

Everybody knows, I need my Joni Jeans from Topshop. My butt looks great in them and they fit me like a glove. I have never had jeans more perfect, so that means I need a few new pairs. Ripped ones and some grey and white to switch up my continuous routine of black. 

Outerwear

Considering I have my amazing and classic style coats from last year, I thought I'd add only two more to make my collection a complete 10. 

 I didn't manage to get my hands on a camel coat last year which sucked. But I've seen the perfect one in H&M. Reasonable price and looks amazing. I also need a leather jacket for those casual throw on days, when you went to look like you've made an effort but not too much. 

Anyway guys, I hope my style has helped or is helping you pick out exactly what you want to look like this season. I can't wait to film my A/W 15' lookbook for you all, so watch out for that.

Ann Summers Press Day

Hi guys, 

So if you are subscribed to my YouTube, (if not then what are you waiting for?), then you would have seen my latest blog which showed me attending the Ann Summers Press Day. 

It was such a good and cheeky time.

I absolutely adore underwear that takes on a sports luxe/ high fashion take, as they end up looking great and extremely comfy.I saw a lot of pieces from lacey racer backed bras to cute lace shorts, which I could see myself in.

They also took inspiration from Valentino with eyelash detailed lace, which was amazing, as incorporating high fashion looks into undies can go either really right or really wrong and they got it really right. 

Some of the pieces could go from a girls night out to the bedroom, which is always a plus.

So if you're looking to revamp your underwear, head down to Ann Summers and make the most of it.
