Leopard Loving



Dress | Newlook SOLD OUT
Shoes | Matalan SOLD OUT
BAG | H&M OLD



Hey Guysss,

So I know its annoying because everything I'm wearing is unavailable, but I just thought id show you a go to outfit for me for a night out.

I am 100% a dress girl, however I am trying to broaden my horizons so might invest in a Co-ord set, I think they look so nice with heels.

These shoes are my favourite thing about this outfit! They were super cheap from Matalan and so so sooo comfy. I love how they look on, make me feel all classy and ladylike haha. I know they went into the sale so you might still be able to get them in your local store!


Is this similar to something you would wear on a night out?

Making people look and feel Fantasic!

Fantastic Hairdresser - Regenerating shampoo and Regenerating treatment for dry or damaged hair £11.99 each*

To start off, a bit of background on my hair. My hair is extremely dry and damaged due to years of home dyes and bleach mishaps and I can never find products that work well for me. I’m always being recommended products that people swear by but when I use them on my hair, they frankly just don’t do enough.
First of all the packaging of these products I love. They stand out in my bathroom with the bold fuchsia font and bright yellow stars, and I am just instantly drawn to use them over other products I have sitting there.
Of course the packaging isn’t the only reason I would pick them over the rest. I have been using these a little over two weeks and my hair has never felt in better condition. I was shocked to see such a transformation as id given up on ever finding a product that worked for me. The shampoo lathers effortlessly and the Regenerating treatment makes my hair feel instantly soft to touch.
I also used these while on holiday and they were a god send. The sea water and constant sun do nothing but hell to my hair but this Regenerating Shampoo and treatment kept it in good condition. To top it all off these products smell amazing, what more could you want!

New Year, Better Me

 
 
I think we will all agree that this new year has come around way way too quickly. I feel like Christmas whizzed by and before I knew it I was sat back at my desk feeling like I hadnt really had a break (I actually had 2 weeks off, where does time go?!)

As per I've started off the year with many resolutions and I feel determined to stick to them this time!


1. Be more active and eat healthily. I know EVERYONE does the whole new year, new me thing but Im thinking more new year, better me. Im not overly bothered by what the scales say, im more concerned about not getting out of breathe running up the stairs and constantly feeling lazy. I want to keep up exercising and healthy eating, but Im not going to starve myself and do fad diets.

2. Continue my journey to being blonde! I am naturally dark blonde but have died my hair black for the last 5 years. I finally think its time to return to the light side for good and its going to be a long process. Im curently at a brown stage and am slowly getting more highlights put through but because I cant wait for anything I usually get annoyed and stick a black hair dye on, but I really really dont want to do that this year!!!

3. SAVE SAVE SAVE. Me and Dean are getting a mortage hopefully anyday now so I have to make sure I save my pennies for all the rather expensive furniture I seem to have my eye on. I need to stop buying everything I see, time to become an adult, eekk!!

4. Finally set a date for our wedding! We have been engaged for 3 years now (wow that went quickly!) so think its about time we get a rough idea of when we would like to get married. I would like a Winter wedding around Nov 2016 but of course we cant really plan anything until we have our house! Once we've found a house then we can start saving and thinking about our wedding (Shh, I have pretty much planned everything I want with the help of pinterest haha) Exciting times!!!

5. Travel. I want to travel around a bit more this year, lots of weekend City breaks with the girls, I want to go back to Paris for a romantic weekend with Dean and Las Vegas may also be on the cards ;)

6. Be Happy!!! I want to be more positive, stop worrying and just sit back and enjoy my life. I have the most amazing fiance, family and friends so whats there to not be happy about?



What are your New Year Resolutions?

* Christmas Wishlist *




Pandora Bow Charm £30
I literally couldnt wait for this years Pandora Christmas collection to come out after seeing sneek peeks back in the summer! I love this bow its just so simple and cute, it will look so good on my bracelet. I've got my eye on a couple of the others in the collection but this one is my favourite so will be on my list for sure. 

Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palette in The Golden Goddess £38
 One of Charlotte Tilburys eyeshadow palettes was always going to be on my wishlist but I wasnt quite sure which one. I was undecided between Dolce Vita and Golden Goddess. The lovely Corrie from DizzyBrunette3 included The Golden Goddess in a post and thats when i finally decided it was the one for me. It is a lovely bronzey palette and the glitter shade is to die for, I love abit of glitter!

Return to Tiffany mini heart earrings £105 & Return to Tiffany bead bracelet £185
I love a good piece of jewellery and have been lusting after these two pieces from Tiffany for awhile. I tend to go for studs for everyday wear so thought it was about time I got a decent pair and these are just perfect. 
I am also a massive fan of the Return to Tiffany bracelets. I love the chunky ones but just know it would annoy me being on my wrist. The beaded bracelets are gorgeous. They do a lot of different ones with different coloured hearts but my favourite is this one with the kinda rose gold heart, that way I can wear it with silver or with my rose gold watch. I love how simple and classic both pieces are and know I will get a lot of wear out of them.

Enrapture Extremity Heated Rollers £60 but currently £35 at Argos
I am quite low maintenance when it comes to styling my hair, I usually just give it a brush and im out the door. For a night out I add in abit of back combing and clip back of the fringe and thats about it. I do not own any kind of heat styling tool (I know, I know, how can I call myself a girl) so pretty much have straight hair all the time, unless I go back to old school and plait my hair before bed haha. Back in August I got my hair done at the hairdressers the morning of my uncles wedding and they put hair rollers in my hair to give me a bit of bounce and I LOVED how it looked. Ever since I've been reading review after review and these seem like the best heated rollers on the market, and at pretty much half price atm such a bargsss!


I cannot believe how quickly this year is going! I've tried to put off thinking about Christmas just yet as I still feel its too early but my mum keeps probing for my wishlist while reminding me its only 5 weekends away so I better get my butt in action with Christmas shopping haha. 


What is on your Christmas Wishlist?

Release your inner Diva


                         Mac - Diva £15.00


Hope you have all had a lovely weekend (:
Every year i cant wait for the winter months to come along so I can whip out all my vampy lip colours, not too sure I could pull off a dark lip in june haha. 
Last year I was obsessed with Mac's Rebel which is a dark pinky/purple so for this Winter I wanted a dark red/berry colour. 
After looking at hundreds of swatches online I finally settled for Mac's Diva and I am in love.
It is quite dark and at first I thought that maybe it was a little bit too dark for me but I applied a little bit more warmth in my face and it was fine. I have worn it all weekend and can see this being my go to colour this winter!

What is your favourite winter shade?
