Valentine's Wish List

Valentine's Day is just around the corner (where has January gone?!). I know it's not a popular holiday but personally I love it! Today I am sharing with you a few things that I would love to receive from a loved one on the day of love. Or y'know you can just treat yo' self! 

By now I am sure you all realize I love candles! I've never tried a Diptyque candle before but love the look of the Diptyque Rosaviola Candle so pretty and pink. 

How cute are these unicorn cupid socks from ASOS? 

12 Red Roses - call me old fashioned but I would love to receive a dozen roses from my Valentine.

The Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Pallet is high on my wishlist and may get it before Valentine's Day for myself! 

This one doesn't need an explanation! I don't know any girl that wouldn't love to receive some Tiffany jewellery. This one in my favourite at the moment. 

The seasonal Lush collections never disappoint! Unicorn Horn is a cult favourite among beauty bloggers so I basically have to try this haha. I smelt the unicorn horn in store and it smelt great - very sweet. 

For Christmas I received my first Pandora bracelet (I know, late to the club!) and this heart Pandora charm would be a cute addition to my new bracelet. 

Apart from when I am at work I pretty much live in pyjamas, as soon as I get in I have to get changed into some comfies which is usually pyjamas. These Victoria's Secret Pyjamas would be great to add to my ever growing pyjama drawer. 

Everyone loves receiving chocolate and these passion fruit heart chocolates from Hotel Chocolat are very fitting for the occasion and look delicious! 

What would you like your Valentine to get you?

Lots of Love,

Little January Haul

Today I wanted to share with you a few things I have picked up over January. I've not bought too much over this month but wanted to show you the few things I have picked up. 

First up is this gorgeous trench coat from Zara in the sale. I can't seem to find it online but if you have a local Zara store I'd definitely have a look. Alternatively this one from New Look is equally just as pretty.

Paris is one of my favourite cities ever! So when I saw this cute Paris cityscape necklace I knew I had to have it. Also would you believe this is my first piece of rose gold jewellery! 

I order these pink starry pyjamas from Victoria's Secret ages ago now but they only arrived at the start of January. These are my first pair of pyjamas from Victoria's Secret and certainty wont be my last! They are so cosy and warm. I also love that you can pick your leg length - I struggle a lot to get pyjamas that go past my ankle. Love these! Now unavailable on the VS site but these are just as cute! 

Fifi Lapin is the most fashionable bunny around! I've wanted this Fifi Lapin book for a long time so finally bought it. The book also has a pretty cover so will look lovely sitting out on a table.  

Lastly is The Kiss lip scrub I picked this up in the new Lush Valentine's release. It smells just like sweeties and has the cutest tiny, red, edible hearts, I can't wait to use it. 

Lots of Love,

Christmas Jammies

I love having new pyjamas for Christmas. I know lots of families have the tradition of getting a new pair on Christmas Eve; that's not something we ever did but of recent years I have been buying myself new pyjamas for the season. Below are some of my current favourites

Three pairs I have picked are from Victoria's Secret, this was not intentional I just love their pyjamas so much! They have lots of different styles and designs to pick from. Another feature I really like about VS is that you can pick the leg length which is amazing! I always struggle with finding pyjamas that go past my ankle so for me this is a great addition. The candy cane pyjamas, polar bear short pyjamas and the pink multi colour star pyjamas are all from Victoria's Secret. I actually have the star pyjamas on the way to me. 

The cute little penguin shorts are from Cath Kidston. These pyjamas will be great for after the festive season too as they don't scream "CHRISTMAS" 

I was so excited when Rosie Huntington-Whiteley released her Rosie for Autograph line at M&S because I just love her style! None of her releases have ever disappointed and these pyjamas are just gorgeous. These could also be worn all year round. 

The reindeer pyjamas are from Primark as are the red check long sleeve pyjama set. Like Victoria's Secret I love Primark for pyjamas because there are lots of styles, designs and are affordable. The only thing I find with Primark pyjamas is they seem to shrink after a few washes but for the price you can hardly complain! 

This Hollister pyjama top is super cute! You could even wear it as a top for day time as it's not super obvious that it is a pyjama top apart from the fact it is sold in the pyjamas section... 

Finally are these Coca-Cola pyjamas from Asda; you know it's Christmas when the Coca-Cola advert is on TV so I just had to include these! 

Lots of Love,

Christmas Wish List

It's December! Which means one thing! I can now be excited about Christmas without being told "It's only November!" 

Today's post is my "Christmas Wish List." Some of these items are more of a "One Day I Will Own But Not Today List" but Christmas is all about your dreams coming true so I wanted to include them in this post. 

To start with is a new pair of Christmas pyjamas. Everyone loves a new pair of pyjamas at Christmas and I'm loving this pair from Victoria's Secret. This is also the Stewart tartan so I think I am biased. 

I've already mentioned in a previous post (What's In My Make Up Bag?) about this Charlotte Tilbury make up bag - I just love it! I'd be happy to find this under the tree.

These Christian Louboutin shoes are to die for! I love the different coloured jewelled coloured jems - they almost look like Christmas baubles.

I'm a bit late to the party with the Naked3 pallet but this is definitely on my Christmas list this year. It's my favourite out of all of the Naked pallets.

This Chanel handbag will forever be on my wishlist until one day I save up and just buy it! It's such a classic piece I just love it!

How cute is this bottle?! Marc Jacobs perfumes always have such detailed and interesting packaging but this handbag design is definitely my favourite - so glamours! This will look great on any dressing table and I hope it's on mine soon!

The Fitbit is a great idea as a Christmas gift. With the ever nearing New Year and New Years resolutions people often chose for a more "Healthy Lifestyle" and this certainly will help kick start that resolution, maybe I'll keep it this year! 

Ever since I was a child I have loved snow globes, they are fascinating! So when I saw this I just had to shake it (more than one actually) which turns the whole thing gold. I think it's a really fun and original idea for a nail polish. I may have to pick up one of these for myself before the festive season is over. This would also make a great Secret Santa gift.

What is Christmas without a new Christmas candle? This one is from Yankee and smells amazing! Just like Christmas in a jar. 

What's on your wishlist?

Lots of Love

What's In My Make Up Bag?

The contents of my everyday make up bag doesn't change that often. I usually stick to the same basics but change up the blusher/bronzer and my lipstick. A different colour of lipstick can really change any make up look! 

My current make up bag is from Victoria's Secret. This was a gift from my parents last Christmas. It's a great size for in your handbag and I love the lace effect pattern. I am thinking about changing it up though; currently I have my eye on this one by Charlotte Tilbury. It is possibly a little big as a make up bag but it's just more of an excuse to buy more make up! Who needs an excuse anyway?!

Right now my make up consists of:

Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in Vanille - Available Here

NARS Lipgloss in Super Orgasm - Available Here

Real Techniques Blush Brush - Available Here

Bourjois Effect 3D Lipgloss in Rouge Democratic - Available Here

Bourjois Volume Glamour MAX Holidays in Ultra Black - Available Here

Hair Tie - Available Here

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash in Xtra Black - Available Here

Real Techniques Retractable Kabuki Brush - Available Here

Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Star Dust - Available Here

No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Devils Delight - Available Here

Victoria's Secret Make Up Bag - Similar Available Here

As can see I like to mix up my make up collection between high end and drug store beauty items. My current favourite is the Chanel Star Dust Powder which I have just rediscovered! I bought this in the 2012 from their Christmas Collection - it was so sought after at the time, I found it really difficult to get a hold but it is now part of their staple collection so easy enough to get your hands on it. I always bring this out every year at Christmas it's perfect for adding a bit of shimmer!  

I almost always carry at least two different mascaras; this is because I'll usually have one that's good for lengthening and one that gives some extra volume. I am still on the search for the perfect mascara that does both these things, do you have any recommendation? Just like the mascara I will usually have more than one lipstick or lipgloss with me either in my make up bag, bottom of my handbag or in my pocket - I'm constantly topping up if needed. Hair ties and bobby pins are an essential to be kept in my make up bag at ALL times, being caught short without one of these is a nightmare - especially with long hair like mine! Lastly, you'll always find a nail polish in my make up bag. Just now it's a bright red colour in keeping with the season - very festive!

What's inside your make up bag?

Lots of Love,
