Ted Baker Rose Gold Eida Enamel Double Button Cuff

Hey beaut's!

I can never resist a bit of rose gold so when I saw this gorgeous Ted Baker Eida Enamel Double Button Cuff on WatchShop.com I had love hearts in my eyes. I mean just look how pretty it is, arhhh I love it so much!

The Ted Baker Eida Enamel Cuff* (£39.00) has a gorgeous rose gold plated finish and a striking double button cuff design, the button cuffs have baby pink accents which go beautifully with the rose gold and its finished off with Ted Baker’s signature branding. The bracelet itself is super comfortable to wear and slides on and off my wrist via the button cuffs, I was worried about it not being super secure because it is a cuffed bracelet but actually it fits me perfectly and is super secure on me.

Overall I'm in absolute love with this bracelet, it literally hasn't left my wrist since I got it. It's super versatile and goes with everything day or night, its delicate and girly and it would make the perfect gift too, it even comes in a little velvet Ted Baker pouch and box!

You can find the Ted Baker Rose Gold Eida Enamel Double Button Cuff along with the full Ted Baker jewellery range on www.WatchShop.com 

Christmas Gift Guide with Flamingo Gifts + Discount Code

Hey beaut's!

I'm absolutely loving all the Christmas gift guides going around at the moment, it's making me feel so festive and of course helping me with prezzie idea's, and today I have a few cheeky things from an amazing website that will help you out soooo much at this time of year, that website being Flamingo Gifts. Flamingo Gifts stock a varied and unique range of gifts to suit everyone and all occasions. From kitsch to traditional, from adults to children, they have everything your heart desires, so much so you’ll find it easy to treat yourself too he he. They also cater for any budget too which I think is great.

Anywhoo, onto the gift guide....

Ted Baker Shadow Flora Manicure Set* £34.99

Firstly I just have to start with this gorgeous Ted Baker Manicure Set. This pretty set is sure to be a winner for any girlie that loves their nails looking fabulous, and contains everything you need in one fold up pouch. Inside the pouch their are wide range of tools all in stunning rose gold which just look beautiful, theres clippers, scissors, tweezers, two nail files and a cuticle tool meaning you can look after your nails in style. The set also comes complete in a lovely presentation gift box, making it a fabulous gift for any women in your life whether it be friends or family.

Retro Kellogg's Rice Krispies Lip Balm* £2.99

How amazing is this lip balm, it would make such an amazing Stocking Filler present... The lip balm itself  looks amazing and sports that vintage 70's look and features the legends which are snap, crackle and pop. The scent and taste of the Rice Krispies balm itself is so yummy and sure to be a winner for anyone who likes something sweet and sugary and it also has a kick of banana in their too which I love. The quality of the lip balm is really very good, sometimes you can find that the idea of a product that looks amazing in the packaging can out way the actual quality of the product itself but this lip balm certainly works well. It moisturises and nourishes my lips leaving them silky smooth and it makes a lovely base for lipsticks to go over too.

Sass and Belle Small Bird Trinket Box* £3.99

How adorable is this little love heart shaped trinket box by Sass and Belle. I think this would make a lovely little gift for anyone who's really into their jewellery, it can be used to store loose rings or earrings or it can even keep your favourite necklace safe and would look beautiful on any dressing table.

Little Miss Sunshine Mug* £7.95

Flamingo Gifts have quite a wide range of Mr Men and Little Miss items and out of all of them I think the mugs are the most cute and quirky. Theres lots of different phrases to choose from that come printed on the mugs, and I think they can be quite sentimental if your friend or loved one is for instance your 'Little Miss Sunshine' or she could be the 'Little Miss Giggles' of your friend group and so on. You could even do a little DIY gift with these mugs and pop in a few sachets of hot chocolate and marshmallows, it's such a nice gift idea.

Flamingo Gifts have kindly given me a discount code for all of my beautiful readers to enjoy, all you have to do is pop haysparkle15 into the promotional code box and you'll receive a 15%  discount off your order, happy Christmas shopping beauts hehe.

Being a blogger I go through note books like nobody's business, I'm always writing down blog post ideas and making rough notes about products I'm reviewing so when I saw that Flamingo Gifts had a range of Ted Baker stationary I just knew I had to get in on the action he he. This 'Opulent Bloom' notebook is just so pretty, I love how the flowers against the black backdrop really pop out and the quirky sayings throughout the notebook are so cute, on the first page your met with 'Once Upon A Time' and on the last page it's says 'Happily Ever After' it's just so lovely! The A5 size is a really good size, it's not too big nore too small and fit's perfectly in my handbag for any on the go jotting, arrhhh I love this notebook so much and now I'm lusting after more Ted Baker stationary.

The Make-Up Bag I have is the Large Ted Baker Kace Makeup Bag and I absolutely adore it!!! It has a plain black patent design which I love as its super easy to keep clean and it's finished with the beautiful trademark Ted Baker pink bow and logo.

Now onto the makeup I store in this bag of dreams ha ha... Do bare in mind that I don't wear all of this at any one time ha ha, I like to have a few things to choose from in my make-up bag so I can switch things up daily without having to go through my make-up collection...

What I Got For Christmas 2013 ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I thought I'd join in on the 'What I Got For Christmas' bandwagon, personally I love reading these type of posts and seeing what lovely gifts everyone receives, I know this is abit of a love/hate post so I just want to add a little disclaimer that in no way am I bragging/ showing off, I'm a super lucky lady to receive all the lovely gifts I got and I really am grateful and thankful!!! Anywhoo lets get going....

Beauty/Make-Up/Perfume

Firstly let me just squeal in excitement at the fact my boyfriend Michael managed to get me the Naked 3 Palette...Eeeek!!!!! Words cannot describe how much I'm in love with this palette, its just so beautiful!!! Michael also got me the gorgeous Ted Baker Large Make-Up Bag, I've been lusting after one for a super long time so I'm thrilled to have one, its so cute!!! My Mum & Dad then surprised me with some MAC goodies & a Urban Decay Mascara,  it just goes to show my Mum doest actually switch off when I talk to her about make-up constantly ha ha bless her. 

Bath Sets

I'm a huge Soap & Glory lover, everything about the brand is amazing in my eyes so I was super thankful for these 2 beaut's. My Mum & Dad got me the 'Once Upon A Lime' Set which smells absolutely incredible, its so refreshing and will definitely wake me up when I have my morning shower. The 'Bright and Bubbly' Set was from Michael and contains 4 miniature Soap & Glory classics and a body buffer, this little lot is definitely going to keep me going for a while.
Electrical

Michael spoilt me so much this year bless him as the 'Remington Pearl Pro Curler' was a gift from him also, this past year I've really got into curly/wavy/textured hair so I'm super excited to try out this bigger barrelled curler and see what looks I can create. The 'Oral-B Electric Toothbrush' and 'Paloma Floral Lamp' where gifts from Michael's parents, after using the electric toothbrush I actually cant believe how nice your teeth feel afterwards compared to when you use a standard toothbrush, its bizarre but great ha ha. 
Candles

If you know me you will know I'm obsessed with Yankee Candles, I always have them burning everyday in my house, I'm such a crazy candle lady he he!!! I received a medium 'Beach Walk' candle from my Auntie, I must admit it's never really caught my eye when buying candles in the past, but my goodness it smells incredible!!! My Mum and Dad kindly got me a Christmas Samplers Selection, they know how much I love my Christmassy scents ha ha and Michael's parents bought me the large Apple Spice candle which again smells incredible.

Slippers

Oh my... How stinking cute are these slippers from Next!!! My Mum and Dad got these little beaut's for me and they are literally the softest most cosy slippers that my feet have ever seen ha ha.

Blogging Goodies

I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I opened up this... a Portable Photo Studio!!!!! How amazing!!!!! I've been lusting after lighting for my blog pictures for a while as taking blog photos at this time of the year is impossible so this present has just answered alot of my prayers ha ha, I love the fact that the set is all portable, making it so easy and lightweight to carry around and if I only want to use the lights out of the set I can or If I just need the tripod etc. I'm really looking forward to having a play around/photo session soon and hopefully my picture quality will improve. Major boyfriend points for Michael for treating me to this ha ha. 

So that's most of my gorgeous gifts, my goodness I'm a lucky girl!!! I also received some comical stocking filler gifts, a tonne of chocolate that I think will last me a lifetime ha ha and this year me and Michael received quite alot of money so we will be treating ourselves in the sales I'm sure!!!

What did you get for Christmas beaut's??? Leave me your links below as I'd love to see.

Don't forget I'm currently holding a Nanshy Eye Brush Set Giveaway, you can enter here.

Girly Christmas Gift Guide

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I'm back with my second Christmas gift guide post, this one is aimed at the special girly girls in your life, if you haven't seen my first festive gift guide yet then you can read it here, it has a very red classis Christmas theme he he. I will also be doing more gift guides soon including one for the men in your life so keep your eyes peeled!!!

♥ Firstly how could any girl not want a gorgeous Ted Baker make up bag for Christmas, it's so pretty. The one pictured in my gift guide is the Large Jenika Make Up Bag and is available on the Ted Baker website for £28.00.

♥ I think an IPhone case can make a great little stocking filler, and I think any girly girl would love a nice floral design, the one I found is available on Amazon for £18.00.

♥ I think the Babyliss Curl Secret Hair Styler is going to be on everyones Christmas list this year, it just looks so snazzy!!! The way it works is your hair is automatically drawn gently into the ceramic curl chamber where it is softly held and gently heated from all directions to form a curl, it sounds pretty amazing to be honest and is available in Argos for £119.99.

♥ Ohhh I do love abit of Soap & Glory and at Christmas time they seem to bring out some lovely gift sets. The Bright Bubbly Gift Set contains a mini Clean On Me shower gel & shower puff, a mini Hand Food hand cream, a mini Scrub Of Your Life body scrub and a mini Righteous Butter body cream, personally I think its a great selection of some of Soap and Glorys best sellers. The set is a bargain at just £10.00 from Boots.
  
♥ Vera Wang Princess perfume just looks stunning, not only does it smell nice but how gorgeous is that bottle going to look on any girls dressing table. The RRP for Vera Wang Princess is £27.00 for 30ml.

♥ A nice nail polish set always goes down well for Christmas and I think the O.P.I Couture De Minnie Mini Nail Polish Set is just brilliant, it's £14.00 and available from ASOS.

♥ If your after treating that someone special to abit of arm candy this Christmas then I think a Michael Kors watch could be the way to go, the Rose Gold Chronograph Dial Round Bracelet Watch is an absolute beauty.

♥ I've seen the Neom candles floating around the blogging world for quite some time and they look gorgeous, I definitely think if your going to splash out on a candle this Christmas then Neom could be the way to go, also their candles are all organic which I think is a lovely touch. The Neom 3 wick candles are available on the Neom Organics website for £39.50.

♥ Oh my goodness... How stunning does the Clarins Essentials Eye Make Up Christmas Palette look, the palette contains 10 gorgeous neutral shades inside that are perfect for everyone, I mean everyone likes a nice neutral smokey eye, and the palette itself  just looks like the perfect gift. The palette is available on the Clarins website for £35.00.

I hope you enjoyed my second Christmas gift guide beaut's and I hope it's given you a few idea's on what to get the girly girls in your life, whether it be for your family or friends.
