This is my new favourite weekend casual look - a bit of statement monochrome with this geo print... (is it a cardigan? It's called a cardigan but it doesn't feel like one) paired with palest blush pink, the perfect spring shade. What's great is that it's the comfiest outfit ever thanks to these acid wash … Continue reading Geo Print Monochrome and Blush Pink Layers
As someone with very pale skin I think it is really important to protect my skin from the sun all year round and now the sun has started to shine I have started to add extra protection underneath my SPF15 BB cream - this Make Yourself Youthful: Sunshield Superfluid SPF50+ from Soap & Glory.

One of the nicest things about Manchester is discovering its hidden gems - there are some really lovely places tucked away and they’re great finds for the people who stumble upon them. After working in the city centre for 3 years I’ve eaten lunch in a lot of places, so I thought I'd share some of … Continue reading Manchester Hidden Gems: Lunch Spots
I'm sharing some blog love today, because today’s post is dedicated to a few bloggers and Instagram accounts whose posts have recently inspired me to spend money or try something out! My most recent purchase was these classic sandals from GAP, which I obsessed over a little bit as soon as I saw them on … Continue reading The Blogger Made Me Do It

I’m glad we made the most of it while it lasted as Sunday was a bit of a washout, and even though it was actually quite blustery I still got chance to do some outfit … Continue reading A Waterside Walk in New Sandals

Cocktails in the City is an "two night cocktail extravaganza" which brings together representatives from twenty of the best cocktail bars … Continue reading Cocktails in the City
Like any self-respecting Disney fan I have loved the first 3 seasons of Once Upon a Time, and when it released on UK Netflix along with the brand new episodes from season 4 it was a very exciting moment! I don’t want to give any spoilers away for anyone who hasn’t caught up yet, so … Continue reading Why I Don’t Love Once Upon A Time-Does-Frozen
This weekend I ended up doing quite a bit of shopping (seems to be an Easter tradition of mine), so even though "haul posts" aren't something I usually do, this weekend really seemed to call for one. Here's what I've been buying... These rose gold sandals from Dolcis were on my wishlist at the end of … Continue reading Sneak Peeks of My Easter Shopping
What would Easter weekend be without a bit of chocolate? So as I have a few days off I thought it would be the perfect time to try this clean chocolate brownie recipe that came recommended by my sister. I've not tried clean eating yet but I have no objection to trying out new recipes … Continue reading Clean Eating: Avocado & Banana Chocolate Brownies
I'm mildly addicted to a new fashion app on my iPhone! The Handpicked app is full of current highstreet fashion pieces, which you can browse (at speed) by swiping through. Simply swipe left to pass by and swipe right to add items you like to your wishlist. It’s like speed shopping, and I think it’s perfect … Continue reading Handpicked – a New Fashion App
