Best Beauty Buy....

A couple of years ago, a friend got me a bag of L'occitane products for my birthday. I've been hooked ever since...

One of my must have items is the Shea butter hand cream. I have a big tube at home, a small at work and a teeny one that I carry in my bag! It smells divine, has pretty packaging and I always get told how soft my hands are. Get it here

Whats your favorite hand cream? Does it beat this one? Let me know.

Mother's day...

With mother's day looming this Sunday, this gift guide should make the buying nice and easy! 

Simples.

Sometimes you just have to keep your look simple. A chic jumper, skinny jeans, a pair of boots and a statement scarf.

Today this was me:

Jumper- Instant Vintage

Top- Instant Vintage.

Scarf- Instant Vintage.

Jeans- Topshop.

Boots- Kurt Geiger. 

Bag- Mulberry. 

Yoga chic

Since joining the gym a month ago I've been taking full advantage on all that's on offer. Swimming, Sauna, steam, Gym and classes. My favourite class so far is Yoga. Mainly because its a challenge  I am so un-flexible!

I also love that your bare footed and wear leggings and a baggy tee. Much more fashionable than the gym, plus it helps you relax and un-wind- a much need skill!

Vintage Mexican Rug Skirt- I Choose you!

I was recently browsing a vintage shop, and as usual, loved everything. But the second I saw this skirt...I had to have it. Its so unusual, and the pattern just grabbed me. I love quirky things. 

However. When I got it home, I couldn't make it work! The length felt all wrong and heavy wool, so couldn't put it will heels in the summer. But after many a night working on it...I decided to take it for a trip down Boho Lane....

Jacket- F&F @ Tesco.

Scarf- A Present from my Best friend.

Gilet- Coco's. (the shop not our dog!)

Top- Instant Vintage.

Skirt- Vintage.

Boots- M&S.

Bag- Urban outfitters. 

Just to confirm my love for this skirt...it swirls as I walk down the street. Oh I've fallen head over heels!

Trend alert!

Texture

I know you all know by now how cold it is here. Because like any other English person on the planet, I seem to be utterly obsessed with discussing with weather. But I am so cold. Cold enough to wear the Daddy for all chunky knits...

This wooly number got me in a frenzy last time I wore it (a restaurant, a curry, no top underneath, complete disaster). 

I've been punishing it ever since. I thought it was going to kill me that night (I had to leave the building for fresh air!), but its life sentence is over- I just won't be wearing to dinner anytime soon. 

Collar- Dents.

Coat- Dorothy Perkins.

Jumper- A charity shop bargain. 

Skirt- Monsoon.

Boots- Boohoo.com.

Bag-Next.

My outfits have been so dark lately...I need sunshine. But hey, check out my blue nails. Risque...
