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,…

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…

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…

24 HOURS IN KRAKOW WITH BONPRIX

Let’s catch up! I feel like it’s been a bit of a whirlwind few weeks so I thought a blog post was in order. I’ve been on what feels like a hundred trains, two planes and travelled to two other countries in the space of a fortnight – let’s just say a large G&T is in order. I decided to move back to London, something which had been on my mind since the day I left and I just couldn’t shake it. I lived in London for the good part of eight years and it came to a point were…

EASTER EDIT

There’s nothing I love more than putting these together for you – shopping honestly is my cardio! This is one of my favourite edits, I’m really enjoying mixing nude tones with deep purples and maroons for that transition into Spring (if Spring ever decides to get here!) As always let me know your favourites I love hearing what you guys think! I think for me it has to be the basket bags, I’m feeling like they’re going to be the ‘it’ bag this season.

THE LOST ART OF BLOGGING

You may have noticed that I post less on my blog these days and as I sat staring at five unpublished blog posts this morning (this one included) I thought I probably should address this. I love my little space on the internet where I can talk and post about clothes and beauty products and for me it will always be the place where it began. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t noticed a massive shift in the blogosphere climate in the past year though. The industry as a whole is getting bigger and better day by…

THE VALENTINES EDIT

It’s no secret that I absolutely hate Valentines Days. Let’s just say the big V’Day peaked in high school and has failed to disappoint me ever since. I will save my dreaded Valentines horror stories for a rainy day! Even though I hate it doesn’t mean I’m not obsessed with the clothing. I feel like once a year it’s the perfect excuse to get all dressed up and be feminine and girly! So below I have put together my top picks for that special day. Whether you are on a date, a cosy night in or a night out…

A WEEK IN DENIM

– Creating different looks with jeans – There is nothing worse than the January blues – trying to find inspiration for life let alone your wardrobe can be taxing. Excuse the pun but let’s not even talk about tax – if you’re anything like me and leave your tax return to last minute every year January is never a fun time! With that in mind I thought I would show you some ways to style your denim jeans. I’m pretty sure 99% of the population own a pair of jeans so I thought it would be useful to show you…

THE JANUARY EDIT

I want to update my shopping pages on a weekly basis so you can come browse my favourite items all in one place on a regular! This week I’ve picked the best of high street. This month it’s all about stocking up on the core neutral clothes (in particular tailoring) and colourful accessories. I’m really going to experiment with colour over the next months in particular the tropical vibe – starting off with accessories. I just wanted to add that River Island are nailing their accessories at the moment they’re so good! JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.…

THE GLAM LIFE

“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” – Oscar Wilde I’m not sure Oscar Wilde knew anything about sparkly jackets or killer heels but his words still remain my everyday mantra. I’m a girl that is rarely seen in flats – heels for me give a presence that elevates a look from ordinary to glam. I for one love the glam life! I’ve been hit massively by the January blues this year – I kick started the year really ill which gave me zero motivation! So when I’m having those down days I always like to get overdressed almost to…
