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…

CAROUSEL

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…

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…

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…

HOW TO STYLE TIGHTS FOR SPRING

Spring is one of my favourite fashion seasons. It’s when we say goodbye to the dark winter tones and refresh our closets with floral pastel shades. Two of my favourite brands Chloé and Zimmermann really nail the Spring vibe with all their floaty floral numbers. However let’s face it – in British climates braving bare legs isn’t something I tend to do until mid summer. So tights are a perfect way to wear floaty dresses and cute skirts without freezing. Falke is a German brand that make high quality thermals and can be found in big department stores like Selfridges…

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…

VIKTOR & ROLF BRIDAL

It’s not every day you get invited to spend the day with Viktor & Rolf so even though there’s no sign of a ring yet or a man for that matter I thought trying on wedding dresses sounded like a wonderful idea! Firstly, being picked up in Jaguar already made me feel like a princess but then treated to afternoon tea at the Instagram renowned Elan Cafe in Knightsbridge sealed the deal. We all know and love the famous Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb fragrance…well, it’s true there’s a new (might I say improved) one and it’s absolutely divine! Let me…
