BIKINI DAY ESSENTIALS

Flip Flops - Primark, Book - Collard Manson, Phone Holder (Poundland - could spend a day in that place), Bikini - c/o Triangl, Sarong - c/o Debenhams, Sunglasses - Primark, Argan Oil, Clip - Primark, Aloe Vera Vaseline

So I'm baaack! Yep, I'm into that horrendous week where you spend half your life saying 'this time last week I was...', y'know the thing. Anyway, less of the thoughts about last week's sunny trip - it's only making my fingers itch to pop on the Thomas Cook website & book myself a second jolly holly.

 Over the next week or so I've got plenty of holiday outfits to post.. Hopefully people will be interested in seeing them?! To start off all this holiday stuff I thought I'd post my bikini day essentials. Me & my ma basically spent the week on the beach - chill time, book reading & topping up our tans. Lovely. Whenever I packed my beach bag up I made sure I included all these essentials - yep, I'm a Mary Poppins sort when it comes to lugging my life about. There's all the obvious stuff (a book, sunglasses, that sort of thing), but I always added a few extras. 

 The sarong was a big must have - not quite brave enough to strut to the beach bar in just my bikini, plus it came in handy for covering up when I'd gone a little overboard on the tanning. Lobster springs to mind. The Argan Oil is another random bit - I kept slathering my hair in this for the day to give my hair a little TLC. My final random must have is that black phone pouch. I bought this in Poundland before my jols when I was having a 'tourist-y' moment.. it's completely naff but hugely handy if you're a complete klutz when it comes to electricals. It made sure I didn't lose the bloody thing or smash it to smithereens.. Who'da thought I'd end up talking about Poundland on here?!

slogan tee & cherry disco pants

Hat - River Island, T-Shirt - c/o Studded Petals , Belt - Primark, Disco Pants - c/o Glamorous , Boots - c/o Missguided I’ve been wanting to show you all this tee since it arrived. What do you think of the slogan?! I love it.. Such fun! Excuse the Miranda reference.. ‘such fun’ has now become part of my lingo. Ha. This is the closest I’ll be getting to anything Chanel related for a long time, which is fine by me.. it’s cute as a button. Fingers crossed though for one day earning enough mega bucks to end up flouncing around with a quilted 2.55 baby. Day dreaming yet again. Hopefully, you’re not all going to be turned off by a disco pants outfit. I know they’ve been overdone, but I’ve never really been the sort of person to be put off by something like that. If I like a trend or piece of clothing, I’ll still be wearing it even when everyone & their grandma’s has it. It’s more how you wear it I think. Annoyingly, I wore the t-shirt down after I’d take...

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....

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 ...
