LFW 1 – A DOUBLE AFFAIR WITH CHANEL

It’s my favourite time of year when the glitterati descend upon London and wear their most showcasing outfits. It’s a time to experiment, a time to stand out and a time to live and breathe fashion. I feel very much in my natural habitat at London Fashion Week. This year I have partnered with Designer Exchange who have offered to dress me for the week. If I haven’t gone on about them enough over the past few months they buy and sell designer items. So whether you have a piece you would like to sell, looking for a designer bargain…

Let’s talk body image…

Size matters, right? In the sixties we were introduced to the stick thin model, led by Twiggy who first knocked the Marilyns off their pedestal. Then we had the 90’s – the era of the ‘Super Model’ with Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, all pushing slimness into the limelight completely isolating other body types. Media can be a dangerous thing that can brainwash society and body image is the perfect example. Now in the 2010’s the booty is taking the stage driven by the Kardashian clan and their speculated plastic asses. My point being for decades the media has…

CALLING BULLSHIT ON MEN IN SUITS & THE …

I like the way Christian thinks – creating a beauty product and a weapon. You can never skip on self-defence in this day and age. It’s the 7th January 2019 and I’m going to say what everyone else says… where the hell did 2018 go? Whether you conquered all in the last year or it was abysmal January is always a time to reset, rebalance and reassess your life. I’d like to inform you that my new years resolution no.1 of becoming a morning person is going swimmingly as I’ve just surfaced at midday due to a noisy Italian neighbour…

PARTYWEAR WITH MARKS & SPENCER

It’s that time of year when shopping lists are drawn up, presents are bought and we’re constantly asked to reveal what it is we want. It’s human nature to long for things we don’t have or lust after what others have that sometimes we forget all the amazing things we have in our lives. I’m very lucky as a blogger to receive a lot of amazing things through the post which I’ve never taken for granted, especially as I started with pretty much nothing. The one thing about my job that I’m very grateful for is that it put materialism…

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START …

We’re pretty much told at 16 years old to decide our careers. Then at 18 we should go to university because obviously degrees are so important. Then somewhere mid twenties we should meet our dream partner. Married at thirty. Pop a few kids out by the time we’re 35. If we don’t do the above in said order are we failures? Well, I’m thirty and I haven’t done half of that list and the other half I did in completely the wrong order. Have I failed? My shoe closet says otherwise… I was always smart at school,…

HOW TO ACHIEVE WHITE TEETH AT HOME

– JANINA TEETH WHITENING – Smiling is so important – it releases happy endorphins. So it makes me so sad when people are afraid to smile because of their teeth. Smiling is also infectious, so I like to smile as much as possible. I am an avid tea drinker so a couple of years ago my teeth were really discoloured. I really noticed it when I started Youtube and wanted to do something about it but didn’t really know where to start. There are so many products on the market and I was so unsure what would work and…

THE CHLO-STREET EDIT

– HITTING REFRESH – Autumn is my favourite time of year – when the air turns crisp for the first time, your knits and faux furs get their first outing and excessive tea drinking is a necessity. Most of all my love of Autumn stems from hitting the refresh button. Maybe it’s ingrained in to us because of school but every Autumn I like to reassess and restart. With that said I’d like to welcome you back to the blog! With video content taking the limelight I had neglected my little old blog but like everything in life you…

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED

Stuck in a rut, fed up, exhausted – these are all feelings we’ve encountered somewhere along the way. Me too! I think it’s possibly the most normal thing to experience these slumps in life so don’t beat yourself up too much! I wanted to share with you how I tend to pull myself out of a motivational slump! First things first – ditch anything addictive. For me that’s caffeine, chocolate & alcohol. When I’m feeling fed up I will drink 30 cups of tea a day, swap my Freddo for a king size and instead of drinking socially I…

NAVIGATING THE SALES!

You may have noticed that the high street has gone full pelt into sales at the moment aka my worst nightmare. I love rummaging for a good bargain but I run a mile at the sight of all these jumble sales in shops. I’m an online shopper! I like to create Pinterest boards and really think about what I am about to purchase. I came across a fab tool that can help you do that and just wanted to mention it on my blog as it’s help me tackle the sales. It’s a company called ShopTagr – my video explain…

4 LIFE TIPS I WISH I TOLD MYSELF 10 …

Sorry for my little absence on my blog, settling into London life literally turned my world upside down! Now that I had a little spare time I wanted to get back to writing and talking to you guys on a more personal level. It’s been four years pretty much since I left London and coming back to the same place after such a long time really highlighted my change in mindset and how much I’ve learnt over the past few years. Walking back down memory lane made me realise how different my perspective is on life and people now. About…
