What I’ve Spent On Clothes In Six Months | Five Piece French Wardrobe
At the start of the year I wrote a post on the Five Piece French Wardrobe. I decided I was going to follow its principles this year. If you want to know more you can check out my post but it basically means you can buy five pieces per season, so 10 pieces per year. I thought as we are halfway through the year I would see what I have spent on clothes so far. This post contains affiliate links. French Wardrobe I realise I should probably wait until the end of the spring/ summer season to do this. I guess I’ve adapted it slightly to be the first and…

Shopping Somewhere New At Reserved UK
When you’re out shopping, how many of you always head to the same stores? I know I do. It’s easy to see why. You want to choose clothes that you know will fit, especially if you don’t have the time to be trying things on. You can go to five different stores and be a different size in each one which doesn’t exactly make life easy, and who has time to waste trying to decipher what size they might be. There are only a handful of places I head to now for clothes but it dawned on me that I could be missing out by staying in my shopping comfort…

Why Everyone Should Use A Facial Oil
“Why everyone should use a facial oil” is a paid for advertorial in collaboration with Beauty By Ané. There are certain skin care products that everyone gravitates to like micellar water and things we avoid like taking makeup off with a wipe. There are also those products that many seem scared to try out. It is a common misconception that facial oil should be avoided if you have oily skin. I think this is probably what holds a lot of people back. It makes sense I guess. Why would you add oil to something that is already oily? Facial oil is actually a beneficial part of your skincare routine whatever…

Can You Wear Cashmere In Spring And Summer?
Advertorial in collaboration with N.Peal I can’t be the only one that feels like those three or four days of lovely weather are all the summer we’re getting. The second we started thinking about our summer wardrobes, the second we were back to scarves and knitwear. This is the beauty of cashmere. I think a lot of people assume that you can only wear it in the autumn and winter months. That isn’t true at all. The fact cashmere is lightweight means that you can wear it throughout spring and summer too. N.Peal Spring Collection. I love N.Peal. It is THE go to place for luxurious cashmere. Their Spring Collection…

Noughty Blondie Locks Shampoo And Conditioner Review
I have been highlighting and/ or bleaching my hair for the past 16 years. As I’ve got older my naturally blonde hair has become darker and darker. While part of me wants to see what I would look like as a brunette, I feel like I’m supposed to be blonde. I have very kindly been sent the Blondie Locks range from Noughty to see what I think of it. My Hair Like I said at the start I have always been blonde but I’ve never dyed my own hair as I just don’t think it’s worth the risk. Over the years I have used many shampoos that have promised to…

The Rainbow Stripe Knit
Rainbow stripe knits have been a bit of a trend the past few years and that only seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I think spring is the perfect season to inject colour into your wardrobe and these jumpers do just that. Statement stripes in a range of vibrant hues are guaranteed to improve your mood and that’s exactly what we need after it feels like winter has dragged on for an age. This post contains affiliate links. The Rainbow Stripe Knit It’s not often I browse online unless there is something I specifically want. I find I spend much less money that way as you can guarantee I…

Handbag Dupes: Getting The Luxury Look For Less
My love of luxury grows but unfortunately the same can’t be said for my bank balance. I have been seeing Miss Pap popping up more and more on my social media so I thought I would take a look. While scrolling through the handbag section I was struck by how many of the bags had a luxury look. I really enjoyed putting together posts on finding designer dupes for Chanel, Gucci and Chloe so I thought I would put together another one for you. This post contains affiliate links. Luxury Look Handbags Gucci Look I feel like the Miss Pap Kinsley bag has taken serious inspo from the Gucci Dionysus…

Roll On Spring
I don’t normally mind cold weather but this past week or so has been next level. I can’t wait for Spring, not just because I want a bit of sun, but also so I don’t need to be wrapped in 50 layers. This post contains gifted items. Roll On Spring I know the start of the year is always seen as the time for a fresh start. However, I feel like the same can be said for Spring. It isn’t just about the start of a new season but everything begins to come alive in Spring. There are a few things I’m doing in preparation for the warmer weather to…
