<br />
1. <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Babyliss-for-Men-Super-Groomer" target="_blank">Babyliss for Men Super Groomer £60</a> - If your man is anything like mine and Movember has stayed slightly longer than you had hoped, then this is the gift for you. What girl doesn't like her man to have some sexy stubble and this will make sure it doesn't end up him having a beard to rival Santa.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.footlocker.eu/gb/en/Shoes/Nike-Free-Run-2-42.aspx/4207607004" target="_blank">Nike Free Run 2 £79.99</a> - I bought a pair of these myself for the Race for Life earlier this summer (in pink obvs) and little did I know they were going to be the next 'it' trainer to own, apparently anyway. Although I would never wear mine unless on a (very rare) run, they are damn comfy and pretty nice to look at.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/en/call-of-duty-ghosts-game-exclusive-freefall-edition-233942/?cm_sp=hubcodghosts-_-highlight-_-codghostsgexpeXboxOne" target="_blank">Call of Duty: Ghosts from £49.99 </a>- Don't ask me to explain what it is, why they love it so much or the plot of it, all I know is that when he's playing this I have free reign on ASOS so it's a win win really.<br />
<br />
4.<a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/product/98335?article=98335-C&cm_vc=GOES_WITH_PD#" target="_blank"> David Beckham H&M Boxers £7.99</a> - I think when we all saw those behind the scenes shots of Becks modelling his range these all shot to the top of 'what to buy for our boyfriends' list. Yummy.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/1000-ulitimate-adventures-book/invt/5620427821000" target="_blank">Lonely Planet's 1000 Ultimate Adventures £15.99</a> - If your guy is the adventurous type then this is the book for him, all sorts of ideas to get up to in the great outdoors, could also result is some fun trips for the both of you!<br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/highlandangel/product/brushed-finish-cufflinks" target="_blank">Engraved Cuff Links £29.50</a> - A great 'Dad' gift, if he's a smart guy then these cuff links will give him the edge over the rest of them in the office and then can be engraved with his initials to give them a real unique edge.<br />
<br />
7. <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/men/jumpers--cardigans/jumpers/Navy-blue-geometric-ombre-jumper-274448" target="_blank">River Island Ombre Jumper £30.00</a> - Everyone needs a nice cosy winter jumper and this thick knit is perfect for snuggling into, I wonder how long it would take before ending up in our wardrobes instead?<br />
<br />
8. <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Womenswear/Categories/Shop-Accessories/Tech-accessories/Cases-covers/iPad-Mini-leather-Stand-Up-case_528-10005-061143300460000/?getTheLook=Y&parentProductId=528-10005-061143312000000&previewAttribute=Cognac+%26+espresso" target="_blank">Aspinal Leather IPad Mini Case £150</a> - Treat your man to a gorgeous and stylish case for his Ipad, this is a great modern alternative to a lovely notebook (who actually writes anymore?) And most Aspinal products can be monogrammed which is a nice touch.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRo9omm7ylxrylYu1Jh-0Xu9UjDjpcTkeNpUQDcJZZm1tWLfUWR8qV-KV62k4z2EY-itGG6abv8ID2OlX-xzSSbySPlAN2pnmyvDejwCWDmHcnalOoVzR1err9TdRkzYS744lMNuzYS9u/s1600/giftguide.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRo9omm7ylxrylYu1Jh-0Xu9UjDjpcTkeNpUQDcJZZm1tWLfUWR8qV-KV62k4z2EY-itGG6abv8ID2OlX-xzSSbySPlAN2pnmyvDejwCWDmHcnalOoVzR1err9TdRkzYS744lMNuzYS9u/s1600/giftguide.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/97141/s/mikako-pvc-full-midi-skirt/category/501/" target="_blank">PVC Full Midi Skirt - Missguided £19.99 </a><br />
PVC seems to be the hot texture this season, spicing up any outfit. As seen here it can look great with an oversized fluffy jumper to make it less stripper chic and more fashion darling and at this price you can't go wrong.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.whistles.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/new/in?resetFilters=true#product=903000061284" target="_blank">Joie De Vivre Jumper - Whistles £75.00</a><br />
Slogan jumpers are everywhere at the moment, but I find it really hard to find one that's not a little bit lame (I mean those Geek jumpers were fine until the entire under 18 population started wearing them) and I think this is the perfect jumper for a cool look, maybe even layered on top of the PVC skirt above.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&productId=11827117&categoryId=209765&parent_category_rn=208528" target="_blank">Leather Joggers - Topshop £150.00</a><br />
I have been desperate for a pair of cool baggy leather trousers for so long now, as they are a real investment piece and look amazing when worn with a baggy tee and some barely there heels, great for looking effortlessly cool down the pub on Christmas Eve. There's also the <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&productId=12215054&categoryId=209765&parent_category_rn=208528" target="_blank">faux leather version</a> for those on a budget!<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://www.asos.com/Selected/Selected-Valerie-Angora-Jumper/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3423820&cid=2637&Rf-200=9&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Impatenspink" target="_blank">Selected Valerie Angora Jumper - ASOS £55.00</a><br />
Never has there been a better (or more on fashaaaan) time to embrace your inner girly girl and go all out in pink, everybody has seen the coverage THAT pink coat has gotten this year, but if you don't fancy making that much of a commitment this fluffy pink number is a great nod to the trend whilst staying cosy too.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/shoes--boots/ankle-boots/Black-chunky-buckle-cut-out-boots-638924" target="_blank">Chunky Cut Out Boots - £45.00 River Island </a><br />
This boot style has been the standout shape for this year, teamed with a girly skater skirt and pink angora knit they will toughen it right up and add an edge to any outfit. Plus you can't go wrong at this price for a great pair of stand out boots!<br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-High-Waist-Trousers-in-Tartan/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3299464&SearchQuery=tartan%20trousers&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi" target="_blank">High Waist Tartan Trousers - ASOS £40.00</a><br />
When I wore mega flare trousers with a slit to the knee at 14 (come on it was the early noughties it was cool then) never did I think tartan would make a comeback, but it has. There are some great tartan trousers around, but these are a perfect going out for a family meal on boxing day look.<br />
<br />
7. <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/en/msuk/product/clothing-299047/tops-299061/necklace-trim-floral-t-shirt-2391716?bi=1&ps=200" target="_blank">Top</a> & <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12554&catalogId=33055&productId=12480831&categoryId=208023&parent_category_rn=208022" target="_blank">Trouser</a> CO-ORD - Miss Selfridge £45.00 (currently £36.00) & £49.99 (currently £34.30)<br />
A matching two piece has been the must have for a while now and you get a number of outfits from it so it's a perfect investment, especially with the current Black Friday deals. A great Christmas Day outfit jazzed up with some fab platforms or dressed down with some chelsea boots.<br />
<br />
8. <a href="http://www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/coats/coat-with-lapels-and-belt-c269183p1350528.html" target="_blank">Oversized Coat - Zara £179.00</a><br />
This season it is all about the coat, investing in good quality and classic style is a sure fire way to make sure your coat will last you a good few years, so it's sometimes worth spending that little bit more to ensure it actually sees you through at least one winter. This oversized style is so amazing for day and night and makes looking cool easy. Oh Zara we love you so.<br />
<br />
9. <a href="http://www.motelrocks.com/products/Motel-Moonlight-Shift-Dress-in-Iridescent-Sequin.html" target="_blank">Sequin T-Shirt Dress - Motel £50.00</a><br />
Christmas is pretty much a free pass to wear as many sequins as possible throughout the whole of December and this dress is a less fancy, OTT way to wear sequins with it's slouchy fit and shimmery colour that ripples in different lights.<br />
<br />
10. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-reindeer-slippers-brown/p457557#default" target="_blank">Reindeer Slippers - John Lewis £16.00</a><br />
Just because we all know that on Christmas Day these are all we'll really be wearing on our feet!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you've found some inspiration on here, I know that most of these are a little out of price range for a stocking filler but you deserve a gift too this Christmas! (Plus directing your man this way couldn't hurt could it?)<br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Having been working a ridiculous amount recently, yet still managing to be skint, I haven't had any time to do any shopping recently really, for myself or anyone else. But I have had time to do some online browsing/wishing of things that would be perfect christmas presents for yourself, family or significant other. So this is number one of my little mini series of some fab prezzie ideas for the festive season, so here's some fab beauty buys for those precious ladies in your life (or yourself, you totally count as precious too).</span></span></div>

Although maybe not the best present for someone else (pointing out through gifts someone else's' flaws never goes down too well) it's always good to start the season of giving with a gift to yourself I say.</span></span></div>

Having myself used rather a ridiculous amount of different hair care brands I can safely say nothing leaves my hair feeling smoother and more luscious than this stuff, so if it's for your darling mother or your in need self, give the gift of a glossy mane this Christmas. </span></div>

Treat your loved one with a bottle of this soothing bath oil to help them wash away the stresses of the festive season and get you in the good books. </span></span></div>

Having fallen victim to a charming little skin infection resulting in very sensitive and sore skin on my face, I've been keeping an eye out for some super products to offer intense hydration for extra sensitive skin which is when I came across Caudalie, well by stumbled I mean the lady at Space NK opened my eyes to their wonderfullness. I'd already been caught up in hype of the <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Caudalie_Beauty_Elixir_30ml" target="_blank">Caudalie Beauty Elixir </a> a little while back and I must say I wasn't sold, but had no idea of their suitability to hyper sensitive skin (or really that they did anything other than tiny bottles of fragranced water). But, having used it for the past few weeks, alongside some antibiotic cream for the under skin infection I really am sold (and poor) on the brand.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just the word sorbet makes you think of really lovely cooling properties and this does just that with a really lovely thick texture and it instantly makes your skin feel hydrated and smooth. It doesn't automatically skin in and leave your face feeling wet, it almost feels like a silky smooth lining on top of your skin, like a protective layer against all the harsh winter elements. It can be used as your every day moisturiser or saved for those days when you need a little boost, with camomile extracts in there you know it's really going to help when your skin is misbehaving</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you suffer from dry, sensitive skin like me you know how it feels when you're having one of those face-so-tight-you-can-barely-close-your-eyes days and this little gem is perfect to give your skin a little plumping up. I popped this on for the first time and I literally could feel my skin drinking it up and although it's only a tiny bottle just one pump will cover your whole face (but when I first got it I was so desperate I used about four pumps and ended up with quite a slimy face, but hey it did the job). </div>

Although not from their super hydrating Vinosource range, for girls with sensitive but problem skin this is for you. Everybody suffers with the odd area of blackheads, especially in London commuting on the grubby underground every day, so it's really important to clean your skin of all that grime to keep spots at bay. It has a lovely whipped cream like texture and has teeny little jojoba beads to gently but effectively clean your skin when used a couple of times a week after cleansing to get rid of those nasty little impurities. </div>

Having only a week ago come back from warm and sunny Turkey, it slightly pains me to be talking about winter. But there really isn't anything more lovely than a new coat, scarf and gloves purchase to get you in the mood for those winter months. This season is all about candy coloured coats, but having tried on a number of the coveted styles, including the pink Zara one I blogged about, I've come to realise this trend is not for me unless I'm going for the toddler look. Sigh. So I have resigned myself to the fact that I will now have to hunt for something a bit more grown up, which I when I came across this lovely Zara double breasted beauty and I just need it (though my bank may disagree, oops). So, if like me you're struggling to adjust to the candy coat trend, here's my top alternatives.</div>

1. Having recently seen Vanessa Hudgens popping up on the Motel Instagram wearing their vintage paisley jumpsuit (also available on ASOS in case you're wondering) I've made it my mission to find a cool jumpsuit that will hopefully not dwarf my 5,3 frame. I think the pattern on this is just so pretty, a bit vintage without looking too fussy and can be worn really easily especially on my upcoming holiday.<br />
<br />
2. With all the blogger/press buzz around this new offering from Mr Jacobs you have got to have been living under a rock to have not heard about it (or just not be that into perfume happenings, whatevs). Before I'd even had a whiff I wanted this perfume, just because I have fallen in love with the bottle, but I did manage to get a test when perusing my local Debenhams and boy is it yummy. As it suggests it's not quite as floral as his others with a distinct sweetness to it but it's just as summery and feminine as you would imagine. Think a trip at the Airport Duty Free is beckoning...<br />
<br />
3. I can't seem to help but love boots. In any shape, style or colour I think I am officially an addict and although I had been trying to steer clear of this 90's fashion revival we've got going on I just can't help but be sucked in. I just think these with some skinny jeans, slouchy tee and denim shirt would look pretty cool, and they're weather appropriate!<br />
<br />
4. As a person with the hands the size of a 12 year old, I find buying rings a difficult process mostly as they just never fit. However, for just a fiver I'd be willing to endure the constant battle of ring vs. finger as this is just too pretty. It's the right balance between trashy cocktail ring and vintage gem and I think it would be a great everyday bit of glam.<br />
<br />
5. If the past two AW season collections are anything to go by, the only colour coat to have this winter is a shade of ice cream. Pinks, lilacs and baby blues are all perfect to hit the trend and the high street has some amazing offerings, like this gorge Zara one. It's the perfect shade of pink and will brighten up any wintery day, yes I know it's only August and I'm already thinking like it's December but I don't think I can resist this one.Emma Louise Griffithshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05288346510094536580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175029346120027788.post-49713565435707379432013-08-07T19:15:00.000+01:002013-08-07T19:16:01.957+01:00I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes it was my birthday last month, now the day that used to be filled with excitement is replaced by dread at how old I'm getting and how quickly (without wanting to sound too depressing). ANYWHO, after initially not having the foggiest what to do to celebrate what with friends currently being all over the country, we planned on having a lovely civilised (drunken) picnic in Hyde Park. Accompanied by my home made raspberry lemonade I posted about earlier and my very best of friends, we spent a lovely sunny afternoon reminisicing and having a lovely day. Which was then followed by some completely terrible dancing and drunken antics at Inferno's in Clapham, which if you haven't been I sincerely suggest you do if you love 80's/90's music as much as I do.<br />
<br />
The day after, feeling ever so slightly delicate, we went for a lovely family meal to The Avalon which is also in Clapham, where we bumped into the ever so glam Florence of Florence and The Machine (though it felt too intrusive to ask for a picture on a sunny Sunday afternoon so I left her to it). We did the present exchange and I got some gorge prezzies including the bird cage pictured from my lovely boyfriend, as he knows I've been after one for ages, even though it confuses him greatly as to why I would need one, having no interest in buying an actual bird, boys eh? So after a scrummy lunch off we popped home for a cuppa and early night, who says being 22 is no fun?<br />
<br />
Hope you are all enjoying the glorious sunshine! I will be posting some more fashion-y stuff soon, once I can get to grips outfit posting on my camera properly.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know you're normally supposed to give a big old list of things that have been your favourite, but if I had nothing else in my skincare regime other than this I would probably be pretty darn happy, which is why it's taking centre stage this month. Although at the pricer end of things this is the best cleanser I have ever come across and I'm annoyed I even bothered with any other cleanser when I could've technically saved money by getting this in the first place rather than faffing with others that I have just left my skin in all sorts of messes (see, already justified the heftier price tag there for you!). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The smell of this stuff is just amazing, you can just tell there's no nasty chemicals or anything that's going to make your skin feel all tight and sore and it's really creamy texture with small crystals makes it so easy to apply. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All you do is after a long day you take a tiny amount, about the size of a 10p coin, and rub gently on top of all your make-up and get those little beads working deep into your pores. After a minute or so, grab the muslin cloth that comes with the cleanser and run it under a very hot tap, leaving on your face for five seconds as you breath in the gorgeous smell, like your own mini aromatherapy facial! Once you've done that three times, pop the cloth under cold water and rub the rest of the cleanser off and voila, perfectly clean and glowing skin. So even though it is a little pricey, I have used it almost everyday for a couple of months and as I'm being super careful on limiting the amount I use I am about half way through it, which doesn't make it half bad cost wise. Let me know if you're going to be trying this out soon too!</div>

Woohoo it's finally over! A slightly over due post about my Graduation, which was a lovely affair at the Royal Festival Hall on London Southbank (where the BAFTAs were held don't cha know) a month or so back. It was really nice to see everyone again for one final time before we all go off and do fabulous things, so everyone put their glad rags on and it was such a great day. I wore a little shorts suit from Oasis, which I now can't find online but I fancied doing something a bit different and as I posted about them a while ago I thought I'd give it a go and I loved it. I also wore some very special shoes that were a Graduation prezzie from my amazing Nana, some dreamy Louboutin Piagalle nude pointed heels, I am in love. Don't even ask about the fences I had to leap to get these but lets just say the sales assistant in Monaco was very helpful in my mission! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After waiting what seemed like hours to get up on stage, I did my little stage walk(after dying of fear), shook hands with some people and off we went for a lovely meal at the Skylon restaurant in the Royal Festival Hall, which was scrummy, deffos recommend. Me and the boyf were going to then head out for cocktails but I was so exhausted from such a crazy day and with rather sore feet (not that I'm complaining!) we ended up heading home for a nice cuppa tea! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2L sparkling water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 lemons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 packet of raspberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 tablespoons sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Cut all the lemons in half and using a jucier squeeze all the juice out & pour into a jug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Mash all the raspberries (leaving 4 or 5 for decoration afterwards if you wish) in a sieve above a saucepan, then add in the sugar and heat until slightly bubbling whilst constantly mixing then add to the lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Give it a good stir and then slowly add in the fizzy water (adding it too quickly will make it all bubble up!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Have a quick taste & add more sugar if needed. If not pour gently into bottles and there you have it! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I'm busy interning at the moment I've not had much time to do anything, but I have been working out the rules of dressing for the office, something more difficult than I first thought, treading the line between stuffy and scruffy. The answer? Introducing the shorts suit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdZ89HYIsYjNNmyW7jpoxT2X9pFnxXWCNeKTaJlctK5OkVSSEJ_FDrYnD46sIvgYhn7nic1npIYTqDVC0g2ko50O-D0C2AE0NlMR8-KbVR3wFWULiyAG1DyfHAemtuNkbdbRI35jSrrUe/s1600/Suit-Shorts-Sneakers-Animal-Print-Clutch-Studded-Hearts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdZ89HYIsYjNNmyW7jpoxT2X9pFnxXWCNeKTaJlctK5OkVSSEJ_FDrYnD46sIvgYhn7nic1npIYTqDVC0g2ko50O-D0C2AE0NlMR8-KbVR3wFWULiyAG1DyfHAemtuNkbdbRI35jSrrUe/s640/Suit-Shorts-Sneakers-Animal-Print-Clutch-Studded-Hearts.jpg" width="444" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still a tricky one to get right, but perfect for the summer and can be worn either nice and smart with some pointed heels or casual cool paired with battered loafers. There's some great options on the high street, my favourites being this beauty from Lavish Alice and a great cheap option from George at Asda. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trick with the shorts suit is to keep everything else quite minimal, especially if you're going for a heavy print and tights are a no no, time to be brave and bear those legs! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The print on this suit is gorgeous but not too in your face, perfect for the office or a summer wedding if you don't fancy a frilly dress. Team it with a slouchy tee for a laid back edge. </div>

I'm really loving these retro style sunglasses at the moment, but not sure if I can get used to them on me personally, they make my head look weird. But when browsing for some to test out I came across these Wildfox beauties, now I'm a huge lover of the Wildfox stuff but would never buy anything due to the fact that I resent paying £80 for a tee, it just seems insane! Nevertheless, I think these sunnies are just so pretty, I adore the thick frame and they just look so chic. So in a bid to try and copy these I found these Ebay lovlies for under a tenner, and although not quite as nice I won't be upset when I inevitably find them broken at the bottom of my handbag.<br />
Which ones are your favourites?<br />

I have finally finished the main bulk of my uni project, so for the first time I three years really I actually feel free! So of course I have been spending all my time online shopping, well just browsing at the moment as I'm obviously awaiting the next (and final, sob!) loan instalment before I actually go shopping. These six pieces are things that really caught my eye recently, I completely fell in love with the ASOS coat, I just think it's so different, and the Pret a Portobello mac is just the cutest things ever, perfect for a festival. As soon as the Olivia Burton watch comes back into stock I can safely say I will be snatching one up, they're so classic looking and really feminine even though they have the huge faces. </div>

I know it's a bit late, but better late than never! Here's a few bits and bobs that I have been loving for the last month:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Moroccanoil-Light-Hydrating-Mask-250ml" target="_blank">Morrocanoil Light Hydrating Mask</a>. I've been an avid fan of Morrocanoil for a few years now, having constantly got really dry and damaged hair naturally then add on the fact I seem to always be doing awful things to it, my hair is now in a pretty sorry state. But this stuff is amazing, the price tag can be off putting and I did wonder if I was just paying for the name but nothing else makes my hair quite so soft and smooth and also actually repairs the damage rather than just masking it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/NUDE-Purify-Cleansing-Wash-100ml" target="_blank">Nude Purify Cleansing Wash</a>. As I mentioned already I love this stuff, it smells so fresh and floraly that you just know it's doing wonders for your skin, plus it leaves my face feeling all smooth and lovely. One of the best cleansers I've come across.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Parisian-Chic-Style-Guide-Fressange/dp/2080200739/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364928630&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Parisian Chic by Ines De La Fresange</a>. If you follow me on Twitter you may be aware that I'm currently writing a book about fashion internships for my final uni project and it's pretty much killing me. But this book has probably been one of my biggest inspirations in terms of design, it's just so pretty! I love the cute illustrations and the sketchbook feel of it, plus it teaches you how to be a tres chic Parisian, so gorgeous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/UNDER-EYE-PERFECTOR/MUK200005858,en_GB,pd.html?dwvar_MUK200005858_color=UK200005858&start=4&cgid=SPUK401020205&prefn1=brand&prefv1=LAURA%20MERCIER" target="_blank">Laura Mercier Concealer</a>. This stuff is so creamy and lovely it almost seems a shame to only be using it under my eyes, but it works wonders for dark circles and as a constant face rubber (that sounds dirty but it's not I promise) I can say it even stays on all day which is nice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://www.lauragravestock.com/" target="_blank">Laura Gravestock 'Love' Ring.</a>* Laura very nicely gifted me this gorgeous ring and I pretty much haven't taken it off since she sent it to me. It' so dainty and delicate plus it actually fits my child sized fingers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Anything that you're loving this week? </div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3F5E9c_BWiMD66VzXVzRvU-QvAiActEJN4keP4cpRTWihXfe-16r-_AVzJ50IMuBeHfSdyII3-9f12-JVW8GtmFOcb92NCj3AoI9Zpqd-gT9iONiI3VUF__vvVCI_Dy79DDqwTCwQF4r/s1600/bootshaul.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3F5E9c_BWiMD66VzXVzRvU-QvAiActEJN4keP4cpRTWihXfe-16r-_AVzJ50IMuBeHfSdyII3-9f12-JVW8GtmFOcb92NCj3AoI9Zpqd-gT9iONiI3VUF__vvVCI_Dy79DDqwTCwQF4r/s1600/bootshaul.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Palmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Moisturising-Body-Oil-250ml_955347/" target="_blank">Coco Butter Moisturizing Body Oil</a>. Having spoken in my last post about how I wanted to try the body oil I decided to make the most of my £25 voucher and Boots 3 for 2 and give it a go. It's a really weird sensation as its obviously really wet but so much drier than a moisturiser, if that makes any sense! It did leave my skin lovely a soft though, but will just take some getting used to I think.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Smashbox-Halo-Long-Wear-Blush_1315217/" target="_blank">Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush</a> in Peachy Dream. I don't think I've ever spent £23 on a blusher but the lady suckered me in and I really did feel I should try something other than my go to Mac blush. This is a really lovely colour and the powdery texture means it goes on beautifully, it's just not one to take travelling as it goes everywhere!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Sally-Hansen-Moisturising-Nail-Polish-Remover_1255888/" target="_blank">Sally Hansen Nail Varnish Remover</a>. This one is specifically for dry, brittle nails and as mine are always flaking and breaking I was hoping this would sort me out. Apart from that it pretty much does what it says on the tin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Daily-Energizer-Cream-30ml-jar_1205279/" target="_blank">Clarins Daily Energizer Cream</a>. This was a repurchase having first bought this just after Christmas with another voucher, and although I really do object to spending £20 on such a teeny jar it makes my skin feel lovely and did last me about 3 months because you don't need to use much at all. Plus it really sorted my skin out and makes it look all bright and dewy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://www.essie.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=27" target="_blank">Essie Nailpolish in Tart Deco</a>. I love Essie nail polishes, they are such gorgeous colours and seem to stay really well and I just couldn't resist this lovely summery orange colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Nude-Magique-CC-Cream-Anti-Redness_1305562/" target="_blank">Nude Magique CC Cream</a>. I thought I'd give this a go as I fancied trying a BB cream and this promised everything a BB cream does but with added ability to either help redness, fatigue or dullness. I went for the anti-redness and at first it's a patchy green colour then fades into a foundation colour, I found it to be a tad dark (from what I can see you can't choose a shade) but after a bit of rubbing in it does fade. Not entirely sold just yet though...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-8482-Thick-Fast-8482-Mascara-False-Lash-Effect-Mascara-Superjet-black_1238274/" target="_blank">Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara</a>. This was a total revelation I am totally sold on this mascara. It concentrates solely on volume and the formula isn't too wet or thick making it really easy to apply and it stays true to claims of 'no flake', plus it's only a tenner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any of you guys thinking of trying any of these?</div>

It being Easter and my sisters birthday I thought I'd make these tasty treats for everyone and although they might be a little more long winded than normal cupcakes they are totally worth it, I pretty much scoffed the lot myself. Here's what you will be needing:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cupcakes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
300g frozen raspberries</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 bars of white chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tablespoons lemon juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
30g unsalted softened butter </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
120g sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 large eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200g all purpose flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
60ml milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Icing:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200g Softened butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
400g Icing sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Few drops of pink food colouring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Freeze dried raspberries for sprinkling</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For the cupcakes</i></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: center;">Preheat the over to 175 degrees celsius & pop some cupcake cases in a cupcake tray</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Cook the raspberries on a medium heat until they're melted and gooey, then reduce the heat and add the chocolate bit by bit stirring in until it's all melted then add the lemon juice</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Cream the butter and sugar together until soft and add the eggs one at a time whilst mixing</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Add the raspberry and melted chocolate mixture to the mixing bowl and mix well for a couple of minutes, then add the flour, salt and baking powder, and mix gently for another 2 minutes.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Finally add the milk and mix until all mixed together</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Put all the mix into the cupcake cases and bake for about 30 minutes</li>
</ol>

And voila! Don't they look so pretty! They have this really pretty milky pink colour to them on the inside too and such a creamy texture, so yummy. Will you be giving these a go? They're totally worth it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've gotten into a bit of a foundation rut at the moment, opting instead for tinted moisturiser that makes my face feel a little more nourished in this horrid weather. But, I've heard great things about this and I'm in dire need of something that bridges the gap between my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation that feels like cement and my Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Nude Perfect Polish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm already addicted to the Nude purify cleansing wash, with its fresh scent and the way it leaves my skin feeling all plump and not dry and tight, not to mention I was suffering with some real skin issues that it sorted out, so I feel that I need to add to my Nude collection with this beauty, which promises to "buffs away impurities and dead skin cells to reveal a soft and supple complexion." What more could you want?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Coco Butter Oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being partial to a bit of oil on my hair and the Palmers Coco Butter moisturiser I think this is the logical next step. Oils are supposed to be hugely lovely for your skin and as I suffer from dry skin especially in the cold I'm desperate to try this one out. Plus, who can resist smelling like chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Daniel Sander Watercolour Blush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, I don't claim to be any sort of make-up expert, in fact my make-up routine is pretty simple and probably terrible BUT I am really keen to test out some new blushers, having been an avid user of Mac blushes for as long as I can remember I think it's time for a change. This one from Daniel Sadler is supposed to be great for staying on all day and giving a lovely summery glow to your cheeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Emma Hardie Amazing Face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I mentioned having recently suffered from some real bad skin issues, honestly I felt like I was back to being 16 again, I became obsessed with finding the best skin care I possibly could, which I when I came across this one, although a tad out of my price range (okay, a lot out of my price range) the way it promises all sorts of wonderful things from clean pores to smooth supple skin I can't resist much longer. Sorry bank account, we'll be friends soon I promise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dungarees are pretty much everywhere at the moment, fashion seems to have gone back to the nineties which is something I never thought would happen (maybe we'll be wearing B*Witched style denim next season), but dungarees are a great summer investment. These River Island ones are perfect to dress up or down, but mixed with this slouchy neon hat, which were everywhere at LFW, and chunky gold chain you can evoke your inner hipster. </div>

With the tres unpredictable British weather denim is always good for a festival as you can keep sung under a cardi or cool down with sandals. These dunagrees would look fab over the top of a statement bikini and stacks of clashing bangles, pop on the floral headband and you'll be Coachella ready!</div>

I'm not sure there is anything quite as cute and quirky as these watermelon heels, pretty much the best shoes on the high street. Pop them on under your dungarees for a nice relaxed take on something to wear on a night out, keep accessories simple so the shoes can shine. </div>

Hello! After a much needed time away, I've come back to blogging. Now uni is almost coming to an end I will be having more time on my hands (probably more than I even know what to do with) so I can actually blog again without feeling terrible! Anyhoo, here's some pretty things I'm liking at the moment, a couple of bits I spotted on some YouTubers blogs, the amazing Celine copy bag was mentioned by the lovely Alix from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/icovetthee" target="_blank">I Covet Thee</a> and the floral ASOS dress by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390" target="_blank">Zoella</a>. I'm hoping these summery styles will encourage summery, or at least spring, weather!</div>

Now I did manage to head over to LFW on friday (but as per didn't get any pictures as it was a manic all over kind of day) and got some tickets to a couple of Vauxhall Fashion Scout shows, none of which I actually managed to go to due to queuing for shows and meeting friends, sigh! Hopeless fashions student I know! So, to make up for my rubbish-ness I've been keeping furiously up to date with the shows and here's a little round up of my faves so far, enjoy! </div>

Now, I'm not usually a bright/prints kind of gal, I pretty much stick to neutrals with a dash of colour here and there. HOWEVER, this collection is just too pretty to say no to. I love the retro sixties aspect to it and the really pretty florals are right up my street. This collection has a definiate American candy girl feel to it & is one I'm dying for already.<br />
<br />

Again, not usually very me but I also can't resist a shirt & pinafore combination, so I was instantly sold. I love the real cute girliness of this collection, mixed in with the bed hair and chunky shoes that give it that Alexa vibe. I am seriously lusting after that yummy shiny blazer too...<br />

I've never really looked at his shows before, having assumed that his high street stuff that to me looks aimed at the older woman, I assumed his designer collection would be much the same. But oh how wrong I am! This collection is so me I want it all, I love the printed shorts and trousers to death and the brights mixed in with the classic neutrals really hits the spot. I can already see Miss Flack in those shorts from picture 1! </div>

This collection is my fave of all so far, and it's going to take a lot to be beaten! I'm a sucker for a fifties/sixties silhouette and these looks are just the perfect balance between nostalgic and current, with gorgeous textures and patterns. </div>

This brand I became familiar with during my interning at Stella Magazine and i've been lusting after them ever since, managed to get some show tickets but unfortunately I was working so couldn't make it, so couldn't wait to catch it online this morning. They have such lovely minimal designs and fluid shapes, with different textures mixed in, it's just yummy! </div>

So looking forward to the rest of fashion week, gutted i can't go to more bits because of work & the lack of uni work i've done this month but alas i'll be better next season, promise. Who have been your faves so far? Any unexpected surprises? </div>

Although I did get some tickets for LFW, i'm still undecided whether to go or not, what with dissertation work to catch up on and working SO much at the moment it just seems like a lot of effort when I can watch it all online! (lazy fashion student, I know). With the AW lines just dropping there's some lovely pieces around at the moment, including the divineee Reiss dress on day 4 that I just adore as it can be dressed up or down in any style you fancy, though it definitely looks like it needs to be tried on before buying. I also managed to sneak in the new tweed Mulberry Lily on day 3 that i'm umming and uhhing about to buy with my birthday Selfridges voucher... it's a toss up between that or saving for a few weeks to splurge on the suede ink tassel bag.. decisions! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry for being a little MIA, as I said i've been working loads so hardly ventured anywhere in anything other than my work uniform since getting back from Borneo (which was paradise on earth BTW!). I'm back to uni in a couple of weeks, which i've mixed feelings about, but at least my outfits will be a little more interesting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hope you're having a good start to the week!</div>

I wore this outfit to go for drinks with my friends (honestly I do more than just go drinking!) and didn't really realise it at the time but I actually look a little bit like i'm going back to school... Anyway, I don't often wear my denim shirt because I actually find it really hard to go with things, plus the fact it's supposed to be 'oversized' which I find always makes me look like i'm a kid wearing my mums clothes! Rest of this week is going to be spent working and getting things together for Kuala Lumpar & Borneo packing for which I leave next week & I cannot wait! Will be an interesting trip, anyone been before? Tips would be muchly appreciated!</div>

I bought this playsuit online with money from my Birthday after spotting it (&blogging it!) a few weeks before and it did not disappoint! The material on the shorts is really nice quality & I love the cheeky sheer sections as well as the super pretty lace collar. I wore this for a nice out with my school friends which was lovely to catch up as most have now graduated! I always feel like a bit of traitor wearing so many dark colours during the summer, but I think on a night out top to toe dark is allowed! Hope you're having a good week so far! I've got lots of shifts at work this week so may bit a bit MIA on the outfit posts, as i'm sure none of you want to see my rather dire work outfit...</div>
