Wrapping up for Winter Wonderland

So it is that time of year again! Winter Wonderland is here! Mulled wine all round, although I am still not listening  to Christmas music - it's not December just yet!

Even though we are nearing the end of November, it's been unusually mild. I didn't wrap up too warm, although did wear my new Joules scarf and waffle textures Zara coat. Scarf could quite literally pass for a blanket - but I love it.

I wore a cropped long sleeve grey marl top from Missguided and paired them with metallic pumps, also Missguided! High waisted jeans are Topshop - and so comfortable. Accessories are Michael Kors (watch) and Primark (necklace)

Here is my new baby! Michael Kors, eat your heart out. This is so perfect for every event. I. Love. This. Handbag.

Here's another Joules purchase - a 100% wool fedora with real feathers. The real and non-dyed feathers really add to the piece.

Vin + Omi SS15 Monday 15th Sept 2014

This year I was fortunate enough to be invited to a few shows at London Fashion Week.

Here are a few of the pieces shown at the Cumberland Hotel

If I were to describe the collection in one word - BIG!

Big hair

Big texture

Big colour

Big shapes

But it was amazing and it worked - definitely stretching the boundaries out.

LFW Fashionistas!!!

So London Fashion Week is tomorrow!

I am fortunate enough for the oppurtunity to attend two shows, on the Monday and the Tuesday.

The shows are for the fantastic George Styler and Vin + Omi.

Stay tuned for exclusive pictures and stories from the catwalk!

GFW Creative Catwalk Award

The internet - and the world - is going to instantly fall in love with Camilla Grimes' work. Not only does she combine fur and neon in perfect harmony, but with pictures of hairless cats too. What more could a girl want! 

The flurry of different fabrics used may normally give some designers or viewers palpitations, Camilla has managed to pull it off exceedingly well - a well deserved receiver of the Creative Catwalk Award during the Graduates Fashion Week this year. 

I am (rather impatiently) waiting to see where she next pops up!

Say Good Bye to those Pesky Spots!!!

Unfortunately, unless you have been blessed by the Gods or kissed by an angel, everyone is bound to get a spot at least once in their lifetime - normally just before a big event! 

There can be many reasons to get an unwanted visitor on your face, from too many late nights and too much make up to not eating correctly and drinking enough water. 

However, I have miraculously come across a cure! This Blemish Gel Treatment from the good folks at Murad actually works!! Don't faint! 

It comes as a creamy coloured gel with small particles - must be fairy dust!!

It is so easy to use as well. Simply complete your night time routine and make sure your face is sparkling and apply a small layer to the affected area and by morning, the spot will have gone or reduced in size and colour substantially! I found after two nights using it, my spot had all but completely disappeared!

There is no reason not to repeat treatment during the day, however I find make up does not stay on the area that the Gel has been applied to - which is less than helpful.

Would definitely recommend! 

Three is the magic number - My Favourite Scents

After being through many different scents - some much more expensive than others - I have managed to settle on my three personal favourites for myself so far.

Starting with Heavenly by Victoria's Secret; which is a beautifully flavourful fragrance - fruity with hints of vanilla - and a bottle with a sexy hourglass shape, fitting for the brand. Perfect for day and night.

My all time favourite is - of course- Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Here I have the Eau so Fresh version with the multicoloured 3-D lid, which has inspired many other perfume bottles to be designed in such a manner. I am in love with the soft floral fragrances, such as jasmine, of the Daisy range and find this perfume perfect for the British summer time.

The last one here is Zara Black. This and the Victoria's Secret perfume are both unusual purchases for me as I normally avoid own brand beauty products due to my overly sensitive skin. However, I am very happy I made an exception here. This scent is a lot different to the other two and is much heavier. It is an almost addictive scent, with citrus and vanilla over a base of musk. This scent is definitely created for the night, although I would gladly wear it all day.
