Ding dong Avon calling...

I have recently become an Avon lady, it has been both a good and bad experience. I have made a bit of commission but a lot of that has gone on products for myself! I have to say I am a fan of a lot of their products. I have found myself experimenting more with make-up a lot more and making more …

Look how fancy...

So, I gave myself a fancy pants french polish. I suddenly feel all fancy, like one of those women who wash their hair everyday and iron things. This makes it totally OK that I am still in my pyjamas at 5pm and couldn't be bothered to blow dry my hair this morning so am rocking a messy frenc…

My Henna Experiment

So I am a natural red head, probably more of a ginger really. The photo above is of me with my natural hair colour.

I have always been terrified to dye my hair, I think it was a hairdresser I had when I was about 12 who told me that you can't use normal dye on red hair or it will turn green! I…

OOTD - Cosy Work Wear

When I woke up this morning my phone told me it was -5 outside! I cannot tell you how difficult it was to drag my self out of my warm bed and into the shower. Its days like today I really wish I could work from home!

I work in a very old Victorian converted townhouse, which has a very old victoria…

Valentines and Anniversary.

Valentines day is just around the corner and my anniversary is shortly after on the 10th of March. The boyfriend and I don't usually make a big fuss on Valentines day but save our fuss making for our anniversary instead.

This year it will be 6 years since we first met! I can't believe it ha…

20% off everything in store would make this outfit £24



After my recent pleasant surprise in the form of an ASOS dress I have decided to branch out. I always assume that I wont be able to fit into certain stores so just don't even bother looking. Which is…

New dress, new boots, new hair... Oh my!

I have managed to bag myself to really great bargains recently through the magic of Twitter! A few lovely bloggers that I follow have been having blog sales and advertising clothing for sale over twitter.
This lovely dress was a bargain at just £5 from the lovely Danielle from A Blog from Blackpoo…

What I wore today... Plaid and Boots.

One of my new years resolutions this year was to make more of an effort with my appearance on a day to day basis. Over the past year I seem to have gotten "comfortable" in the same rotation of 3 or 4 outfits and I started to lose myself a little. I am one of those people who like to stand…

All about the bright, bold brogues...

Flamingo Pink Brogue - Primark £9.50

A huge trend for Autumn/winter 2011 was the almighty brogue! A shoe normally considered quite masculine popped up all over the runways and high streets last year. I was initially wary as being plus size I sometimes struggle to feel feminine, so clunky manly sho…

A new little blog adventure

I have been toying with the idea of starting some sort of fashion blog/journal for a while now, it is something I have tried to do in the past but never seem to be able to get past the first sentence. In fact I have re-written this sentence about 127 times.
The world of fashion blogging and indeed…
