SAG AWARDS 2015

Monday 26 January 2015

I never usually do these posts but I was looking at Vogue's website this morning, after the SAG awards, and there were so many great looks. I've picked out five of my favourites for you.

SCRAPBOOKING WITH PAPERCHASE

Friday 23 January 2015

Paperchase
As you might know if you've read my Project Life post, I've started a scrapbook for 2015. I'm loving printing out my photos and being creative with them. In order to do this I've taken a few trips to Hobbycraft and Paperchase. My latest trip to Paperchase will probably be my last for quite a while (except if I want to pick up more postcards). I wanted to show you the few things I picked up for this post.

23 THINGS ON MY 23RD BIRTHDAY

Wednesday 21 January 2015

I'm 23 today! To mark the occasion, I thought I'd share 23 things about myself with you. I did a 25 Facts About Me post back when I first started blogging in July 2015 but a lot of the things I included have now changed, like I now love tea. I blame my boyfriend for that change, as he brings me tea (and biscuits) in the morning. Anyway, here's 23 things about me...

F IS FOR FUTURE

Tuesday 20 January 2015

This quote from Eleanor Roosevelt is one of my favourite quotes of all time. When I was in year 11 my head of year wrote cards to every single one of her pupils (quite an achievement!) Each card had a different motivational quote on, and this was mine. I never believed I would get good grades at A-Level or be accepted into a university, and she knew that, so 5 years later with a degree under my belt this quote holds a lot of significance for me.

REVIEW & SWATCHES | NARS DIGITAL WORLD LIP PENCIL COFFRET

Sunday 18 January 2015

NARS Digital World Lip Pencil Coffret
This was a lovely Christmas present from my boyfriend. It was on my wishlist after I'd seen countless photos and reviews. Lipsticks are my favourite make-up product - it's weird to think that I only started wearing lipstick last year and now I don't feel complete without product on my lips (even if it's a lip balm or a nude lipstick).

I COVET | REAL TECHNIQUES BOLD METAL COLLECTION

Saturday 17 January 2015

I used to have a series, if you could call it that, called Want of the Week. I've stopped doing that now but I want to change it up a little. Instead of just beauty products or clothes, I want to include lifestyle places: restaurants I want to go to, places I want to visit, books I want to read etc. But saying that, the first in this series is a beauty product(s). It's the Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection.

E IS FOR ENJOYING THE FINER THINGS

Friday 16 January 2015

I wrote this post a few weeks ago, before Christmastime, but reading back on it I thought it was a bit too moany and self indulgent so I deleted it. I want to start writing it again with a blank canvas and a different angle. This is one of my resolutions too so I thought I'd tell you about the other things I'm aiming for in 2015.

BOOTS HAUL | ESSIE, RIMMEL, S&G AND MAYBELLINE

Thursday 15 January 2015

I was picking up some photos in my local Boots for my scrapbook. FYI: their 1 hour printing service is amazing if you're a bit clueless about the self serving tills, like me! I never pop into Boots and come out empty handed, and this happened. I blame the new Essie counter that has been recently added!

7 DAYS LATELY | NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, HONEST BURGERS AND OXFORD STREET

Tuesday 13 January 2015




Last weekend I stayed true to a couple of my New Year's resolutions by doing a few fun things and having a catch up with one of my friends from university. I feel like I walked a hundred miles, and I've actually got blisters to prove it (TMI?) From going to the Natural History Museum to a couple of pubs around Covent Garden to enjoying a burger in Honest Burgers and traipsing down Oxford Street, I covered a lot of London!

STARTING A PROJECT LIFE SCRAPBOOK

Thursday 8 January 2015

We're already one week into January and resolutions are in full swing. The gyms are busier (not that I'd know) and people are becoming more organised. I've made a few resolutions for myself - ones that are more realistic than those I set myself last year - one of which is completing a scrapbook. I was inspired by Lily Pebbles' and her video on her Project Life scrapbook. I've always wanted to start a scrapbook but I'm no good at the cutting, sticking, more arty side of things. The photo album/scrapbook idea was right up my street so off I went to Hobbycraft last weekend to pick up a kit.
