I am a hoarder. I think this comes partially from growing up with a Dad who would store everything in the garage in case it 'comes in useful some day' (which, to be fair, most things did with a daughter who breaks everything and needs it fixed) but also my own indecisiveness which means I end up buying about 5...

I am a shoe addict. I lusted after Irregular Choice every time I went in Schuh for several years and then one day I stumbled upon an Irregular Choice fan page on Facebook; I've never looked back. My favourite Irregular Choice shoes are always the Disney launches. I even love queuing online for blimmin' ages and opening...

It might seem very early to be talking about Valentine's day, but I'm posting this now for two reasons: 1. Walking around the shops I am already seeing Valentine's themed things. I even had a 'Valentine's Love Potion' hot chocolate in Hotel Chocolat yesterday (it was delicious). 2. This idea takes a long time to organise...

Benefit Play Stick has been my go to foundation since...well, ever. So I was really disappointed when they discontinued it.  I tried to stay loyal to Benefit and use their 'Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow!' liquid foundation and I did love it. Combined with the Hello Flawless powder it was silky and brightening. But...

My everyday eyeshadow routine has been pretty much the same for a few months now. The products I have been loving have all been from Benefit Cosmetics and they came in the kits above. Party to the Peepers 'sheers to you' eye kit is what I start with. It includes three shades of creaseless colour wash (creamy eyeshadows)...

I'm a big fan of the Hollywood, vintage style. I have two giant canvases of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn on my living room wall (from TK Maxx, years ago!) Every time I see something along those lines, I need to buy it! The first item in the photo is a Marilyn Monroe vanity case which was really handy for...

This December I was very excited to be opening a door on a Body Shop advent calendar every day (thanks to my OH!) I've always loved Body Shop, but had drifted away from buying their products lately. This calendar reminded me about some products I love and introduced me to some new products. Here is a little selection...

Isn't it just beautiful?! As you know from my December Favourite's post, I am a massive fan of a bright lip colour. I was very lucky to get this mini lipstick kit for Christmas this year and I am IN. LOVE. Did I carry it around all day on Christmas day? Yes. Do I care that that makes me sound like a child? No. This...

December has been a month with lots of outings and events (and excuses to get dressed up). My favourite kind of month! The first thing I've been loving this month is this cute little cupcake bag I found at Lou Lou's Vintage Fair. It cost me £5 and every time I have used it people have complimented me. You can probably...

Happy New Year! I have had a Christmas break from work filled with too much food and prosecco, lots of amazing lie ins and also an abundance of flu germs flying around the house from well-meaning family members. It's been lovely (albeit sneezy). I have 3 New Year's Resolutions: 1. Drink less fizzy drinks (achievable...
