What's In My Bag?

LIFESTYLE

I always love reading these posts on other peoples blogs so I thought I'd write my own and let you take a sneaky peek into what I keep in my bag (excluding old receipts, various sweet/ crisp wrappers,  a tangled phone charger, panty liners and loose pieces of chewing gum - believe it or not they don't photograph too well!).

My Three Favourite Foundations For Dry Skin // Nars, Armani + Chanel

BEAUTY

I have quite dry skin so finding a good foundation that doesn't dry it out further or enhance the appearance of any parched patches is something of a must. These three are all perfect foundations for me and are ones that I love to mix and match with, all depending on the shade and finish that I'm after.

Easter Treats // Chocolate Rice Krispie Nests

FOOD

With Easter just around the corner I though that now would be the perfect time to make these super quick (not to mention super cute) chocolate rice krispie nests - they literally take less than ten minutes from start to finish and are perfect for eating after your Sunday roast!

I thought that in honour of me turning twenty-three last month (why do I feel so old??) I would share twenty-three fun and completely random (some may say pointless) facts about me, so here goes...

A Trip To Urban Outfitters

LIFESTYLE

I hadn't been to Urban Outfitters for absolutely ages, so when we went to Leeds I couldn't resist having a potter around and ended up treating myself to a few little things, all of which I completely didn't need, but hey, you have to treat yourself every once in a while right?

Cheese + Tomato Flatbread Pizza

FOOD

I love a good Pizza as much as the next person so I though I'd give this simple cheese & tomato one a go, and as it happens it turned out pretty good! I can't believe how easy it was to make - I never in a million years thought I could make a base but here it is...

A Mini Lush Haul // Mothers Day + Easter

BEAUTY

So I've been trying to be good and use up some of the Lush bits that I already own before buying anything else, after getting a sizeable amount of goodies for Christmas & my birthday. This resolve may have wavered slightly in the name of limited edition Mother Day & Easter treats (sorry not sorry), so without further ado - here are the products I picked up!

Confessing My Love For Stripes

LIFESTYLE

Recently it seems that just about everything I buy has stripes on it. I just feel like stripes are such an easy way to jazz up an outfit, without being too in your face, and theres just so many cute stripy numbers out on the high-street waiting to be snapped up at the moment. I'm going to show you a few of the pieces I've been loving lately that are now nestling in my ridiculously over full wardrobe!

Hair Accessories // The Basics

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre // Eau De Toilette + Body Lotion

BEAUTY

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre has been one of my absolute favourite perfumes ever since it was first released, it's just such an easy to wear classic in my book! I actually got given the moisture mist as a Christmas present and they go so well together when you want to feel extra pampered and smelling amazing.

A Spring Walk // Earlswood Lakes

PLACES

The weather may have gone ridiculously cold again but a couple of weeks ago it actually felt like spring and the sun was shining! Dan & I took this as an opportunity to go out & about to Earlswood Lakes in Warwickshire, aaand to the bakery on the way obvs....

Colab Dry Shampoo // Tokyo + New York

BEAUTY

I'm not usually much of a fan of dry shampoo as I find they make my hair feel really dry and brittle, plus most leave a white tinge to my hair, but I just had to write a post on these two Colab ones as they've totally converted me!

A Few Home Touches...

LIFESTYLE

I love finding new little bits and pieces to add something extra to my room, so I thought I'd share a few of the things I've bought or been given recently, with both affordable and luxe thrown into the mix!

The Jewellery Edit

LIFESTYLE

When it comes to jewellery I like to keep it pretty simple with mostly gold pieces that are never going to fall out of style. There's a few different brands that I always seem to return to, as well as a few antique finds and family hand downs, so I thought I'd share my tips for building up a little jewellery collection!
