WHAT'S IN MY TRAVEL BAG

Sarong - eBay, Bag - Zara, Ipad, Hand Cream - Crabtree & Evelyn, Hair Clip - Primark, Nail File - Leighton Denny, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish, Tangle Teezer, Purse - Topshop, Samsung Galaxy S3

Since I've gone on about my holiday more than a bit (I'm going in 4 days - yep, counting down the minutes from now on), I thought I'd post a peek into my travel bag. I've completely flaunted the hand baggage allowance and bought the biggest bag possible, intent in filling it with all my crap. I found this black number in the Zara sale for £20 and thought it would be just right for fitting in all my essentials.

Now, I will be honest.. this is a much prettier version on what will actually be in my travel bag. However, when I look at other people's 'What's in My Bag' posts, do I wanna see hand sanitiser and enough tampons to last through an apocalypse. Nope, not really. We all know our bags are full of all that kind of thing but there's no way of making Tampax look cute. So yep, I'll probably be adding packs of tissues, breath fresh & a whole range of chargers - y'know the sort of thing.

 The bits above are all my essentials - most of which come with me day to day. The sarong is something I've added in for my trip - I just love having something that feels like a bit of a comfort blanket while I get all hysterical on the plane (nervous flyer.. the sooner that dose of diazepam kicks in the better!).

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

PERSONAL SHOPPING AT TOPSHOP | PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS

Image
Party season is the moooost wonderful time of the year, so when Topshop invited me in to check out their personal shopping service I was more than excited. As much as I love getting dolled up, I find the whole process of outfit hunting stressful – I’m pretty particular, so it usually takes me forever! Not only that, but I got to try the personal shopper experience in Topshop at Meadowhall… I love anything that’s blogging related and local! It’s nice to know that the rest of the country hasn’t been forgotten about, and we can all have an extra special shopping treat. I’ve been to a couple of personal shopping events before, and the team at Topshop didn’t disappoint! I was greeted with some dream boat outfits that the lovely Kirby, my personal stylist, had picked out for me. She found me so many pieces that were just my sort of thing! That’s all part of the service - you just give them a call, let them know what you’re after, tell them your size and they’ll do all the faffy...

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...
