ADEXE Sistine Petite Rose Gold Watch

Hey beaut's!

I've always loved the look of ADEXE watches, seeing them online or someone modelling one on Instagram or Twitter always left love hearts in my eyes, trust me you'll feel the same once you've had a nosey he he! For me a watch isn't always about it's functional purpose, of course that's a great factor but watches are the perfect accessory and can add the finishing touch to any outfit cant they, that's why I absolutely adore my ADEXE Sistine -Petite Watch in Rose Gold, it's such a beauty and so on trend!

The ADEXE Sistine Petite Rose Gold Watch* caught my eye because not only was it utterly gorgeous in all of it's rose gold glory but I think it looks really elegant and simplistic, I'm really not a fan of an 'out there' watch so something simple but pretty is always a winner for me. The watch itself has a hand-made mesh band with a clasp fastening which you can move yourself for the perfect fit, I love this because theres nothing worse than having to get links taken out or punching extra holes in a strap is there! The watch face is well proportioned, quite thin and lightweight but still robust and well made, the roman numerals stand out well so the watch is easy to read because theres nothing worse than having to squint your eyes to read your watch is there. The watch also comes with a 2-3 year battery which I think is pretty epic and activates once you take a tiny stopper out of the mechanism which adjusts the time so you get the most battery life out of your watch as possible!

Overall I'm so in love with my ADEXE watch, it looks stunning, it feels so well made and luxurious, it's comfortable and more importantly it keeps me on time for work (lol), it also looks super cute in the background of Instagram pictures - oh it's all about the gram isn't it he he. Seriously though if your looking for a new watch or want to gift someone a watch I cant recommend ADEXE enough, they have some seriously stunning pieces on their website!

My Most Worn Shoes This Spring...So Far!

Hey beaut's!

Check me out doing another fashion related blog post, I put a footwear post up in March (here) and now I thought I'd do another one featuring two of my favourite pairs of shoes at the moment that basically haven't left my feet so far this Spring!

Of course I joined the Old Skool Vans club, well it would of been rude not too wouldn't it he he. I actually really needed a new pair of Vans, my white ones are pretty much dead and this old skool style was too nice to resist, they basically go with anything from skinny jeans, casual dresses and even casual skirts and shorts when it's warmer. My favourite way to wear these at the moment is actually to fold up my skinny jeans exposing quite a bit of ankle then whacking on a pair of little frilly ankle socks, they look super, super cute!

The other pair of shoes or should I say sandals I've been obsessed with wearing recently are these little gold beauties from Primark, they cost me a tiny £6.00 and honestly they are the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever owned. The gold cross-over detail across the top of my foot is actually thick elastic so they move/bend with my foot and the fit of them is bang on for my little size 3 feet. I honestly cant recommend these enough, they've been perfect for the humid weather we've had in the UK this past week and they go with everything, oddly I always find that with gold sandals, they just match well with everything I wear.

What are your favourite shoes to wear at the moment beaut's? Are you rocking some Old Skool Van's? I'd love to know!

Outfit I'm Lusting After #1 ♥

Hey beaut's!

Today I thought I'd share with you all an outfit I'm currently lusting after, I've never really done this style of post before so I thought I'd switch things up and add a new edition to my blog, I might do these post on a weekly basis, as let face it us ladies are always lusting after tones of clothes aren't we ha ha. This outfit I'm after at the moment is a nice transitional outfit from Winter to Spring, the ripped-high waisted skinny jeans from Topshop are huge this season and look great with any outfit as they can be dressed up or down, the crop top from New Look I thought was so pretty and because the jeans have the high waisted factor their shouldn't be to much belly out at all he he. The blazer style jacket also from New Look, adds the warmth and really makes the outfit look more smart and grown up and could be used during the day and night. I absolutely love block heel ankle boot's, I think they'd work perfectly with this outfit and are practical as they keep your tootsies nice and warm and I thought the RayBan's would be a nice finishing touch as hopefully we will have a nice sunny spring this year ha ha. 

Crop Top from New Look £8.99 / Black Leather Look Blazer from New Look £34.99 / Topshop MOTO Black Ripped Leigh Jeans £40.00 / Black Block Heel Boots from New Look £14.00 / Ray-Ban Sunglasses / Lancôme Grandiôse Wide-Angle Fan Effect Mascara £24.50 / Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss £14.50 / Cheryl Storm Flower Eau de Parfum / Michael Kors Rose Gold Tortoise Acetate Watch

Are you lusting after any of these pieces beaut's?? I'd love to know!!

Winter Wellies ♥

Hey beaut's!

I think it's fair to say that winter has finally arrived in the UK, we've seen a few frosty mornings and very cold days and from what I keep hearing we are in for one very wet and snowy Winter this year, so if you haven't already I would suggest stocking up on all things warm, snug and waterproof ha ha. One thing I've very happy to have in my life this year are these Barbour Setter Wellies* in Black (£69.95), they are perfect for those frosty, snowy days and great for wet doggy walks.

The Barbour Setter Wellies are a stylish yet practical wellington boot that are made with a hard wearing, flexible vulcanised rubber body and come complete with soft textile linings and a cushioned insole for added comfort, making them ideal for long walks. The actual look and design of the wellies I love, the top section of the wellies feature that tradition yet popular Barbour quilted effect which is so classic and easy to wear. As well as the wellies being nice to look at the are equally as practical for this time of year as they are built with a hard wearing, non-slip, textured rubber soles that have plenty of grip, making them perfect for stomping through muddy puddles, running through the snow and even walking on frosted-icy paths. 

I got my Barbour Setter Wellies are from a website called Shoetique. Shoetique are an independent footwear retailer based in Hale, Cheshire, just on the outskirts of Manchester. They have over 30 years worth of experience in the footwear trade and pride their selves on bringing their customers high quality shoes, that are all hand-picked from their approved suppliers. That way they make sure every pair of Shoetique shoes are comfortable, durable....and look great! The website literally has hundreds of shoes and boots to choose from ranging from woman's, men's and kids with many brands to pick from too, there's certainly something on there for everyone that's for sure. I absolutely love Shoetique's concept, it just saves so time scouring trough loads of different websites or shops to find the perfect pair of shoes or boots for you when Shoetique have it all in one place. 

Overall I absolutely love these wellies, I just love the fact that they are so versatile and can literally be worn with most outfit's, they are really comfortable and very warm, extremely well made and I know they are going to last me years, you could even wear these to festivals and to do your gardening in if you wish, the list really is endless. So if your looking for a good pair of Wellies for the Winter months I would highly recommend these, they are also available in Navy and Olive.

Do you have a pair of winter wellies beaut's?? How do you style yours?? I'd love to know!!

Christmas Jumper Fun on Christmas Day

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I thought I'd do abit of a fun festive post as I just couldn't resist sharing my love for some cute Christmas Jumpers that I've had my eye on!!!

I know lots of us girlie's have different traditions on what we like to wear on Christmas Day, It could be a PJ day, a casual day, a dress up day, which is what I usually do, but this year I'm embracing the Christmas Jumper!!!

I mean, whats not to love about a Christmas Jumper, their cute, snugly and they are great at concealing the massive food baby that I will have on Christmas Day ha ha.

Here are some of my Christmas Jumper picks for this Christmas Day....

I love this gorgeous knitted sequin present jumper from Topshop, it is quite pricey being £59.00 but I think if your wanting to splash out this Christmas this is definitely the jumper for you.

How adorable is this!!! I love the fact that this jumper from New Look isn't too in your face and doesn't really scream Christmas although you still know its for Christmas time wear.

As soon as I saw this jumper I immediately bought it!!! You may or may not know I'm slightly obsessed with watching the film Home Alone so this 'Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal' jumper is right up mu street and just had to be mine. I got mine from Boohoo for £15.00.

I love cute little reindeer's, I generally buy anything with cute little reindeer's on or fawns, I'm terrible, i just cant resist the cuteness ha ha. You can find this Rudolph Reindeer jumper on chiarafashion.co.uk for £14.95.

I thought this was quite a girly option with its sweet little love heart pattern, the back of the jumper is also completely covered in little red love hearts too! It's also think you could get away with wearing this throughout winter as it not too Christmas crazy ha ha. You can get the jumper from shelikes.com for £16.00.

And there you have it, some Christmas Jumper Fun!!! I hope you liked this quick festive post and don't forget it not too late to join in and embrace the Christmas Jumper trend ha ha.

Are you going to wear a Christmas Jumper on Christmas Day??? Id love to know!!!

Party Dresses | My Picks

Hey girlie's!!!

The party season is fast approaching and I know some work Christmas party's are already in full swing, so today I thought I would share 5 dresses that I love for the party season!!! The 5 dresses I have chosen I've tried to take into consideration many different things for instance the price, whether your prefer your arms out or covered up, the colour, sparkle or no sparkle, shape and how easy they are to get hold of.

So here are the 5 dresses that have caught my eye, I hope you like them as much as I do he he... 

1, This Gold/Black Sequin Bodycon Dress is from Select and priced at just £18.00 which I think is a really good price for a party dress and super affordable. The gold/black sequins on the front of the dress give it that Christmas party vibe without being too much. The dress also has 3 quarter length sleeves which are great if you don't like your shoulders or arms being out and is very flattering.

2, I love this Burgundy Lace Plunge Puffball Dress from Missguided. Yes the plunge is rather risque but you could always pop a thin camisole underneath if you wanted that extra cover up, it's also a puffball/skater style shape so it's really flattering and nips you in at the smallest point of your waist. The dress is also available in many different colours on the Missguided website and is priced at £35.00.

3, Ohh the Lace/Chiffon Dress is just beautiful and I must admit I've got my eye on it myself he he, its a nice festive Red shade which is always a winner and I think with some gold accessories it could turn into a very Christmassy outfit. Again, its really flattering with its skater style chiffon skirt and its little cap sleeves that will hide your shoulders if you don't like them being so exposed. You can find the dress in Oasis for £60.

4, I chose this Black Contrast V Neck Embellished Dress from New Look as I think it would suit many figures and because its just simply gorgeous. I love the contrast of colours and the fact it has added sparkle around the waist area which really adds that party feel to the dress. The dress is slightly pricey for a New Look dress being priced at £45.00 but I think when you take into consideration the fabrics used and the under skirt, the added sequins and the contrast of colours it doesn't seem too much at all.  

5, My party dress picks wouldn't be complete without a gold sparkly sequin dress, it just screams festive party to me. Its a bodycon style dress and has a good amount of shape to it considering its rather figure hugging. The dress is from New Look and is priced at £24.99, its also available in Red too which is equally as festive.

I hope you girlie's liked the hand full of party dresses I picked out, and I hope you all have a fabulous time at any Christmas parties your going too, its certainly got me excited for my works Christmas party that's for sure!!!

Christmas Gift Guide | Festive Reds

Hey girlie's!!!

Since there are only 44 days until Christmas, eeeeekkk yup, that's right just 44 days! I thought I'd do my very first Christmas gift guide with a girlie festive red theme. Ive gone for some cute bits you can pop in for stocking fillers and then some bigger bits for under the tree. I hope you enjoy!!!

♥ Everyone loves some cute snugly socks for Christmas and these fluffy snowflake/striped ones you can find in New Look for £3.99, I think they make perfect stocking fillers.

♥ Another perfect stocking filler is a nail polish, a Barry M nail polish to be precise, I chose the Red Glitter shade as I bought one for myself a few weeks ago ready for the festivities and I'm already in love with it. They're just £2.99 each which is such a good price for a good quality nail polish.

♥ Ohh now a Mac lipstick is such a treat for any make up or beauty lover, and something I'd be extremely happy to see on Christmas Day ha ha, I just had to choose the shade Viva Glam 1 for this gift guide as I think its stunning and would look great for winter time wear.

♥ Marc Jacobs perfumes always make great gifts, not only do his perfumes smell incredible but the packaging of all Marc Jacobs perfumes are cute and look that extra bit special. The RRP for the adorable 'Dot' is £32.95.  

♥ I just couldn't do a gift guide without a classic Christmas jumper, it just had to be done. There are loads to choose from at the moment in all different retailers but I chose this cute Reindeer Jumper for £9.49 from ikrush.com as all their Christmas knitwear is reasonably priced and super cute.

♥ A onesie is essential during the winter months, they just keep you so toastie warm and comfortable and I think this red/white snowflake onesie is just lovely. It's currently on sale in New Look for £15.00.

♥ Everyone seems to get slippers from me at Christmas, my Mum, Dad, Nan, Boyfriend ha ha, yup everyone, well they are always needed around this time of year, nobody wants cold tootsies do they??? These red and white fleecy lined slipped look so cosy and are available in Debenhams  for £10.00.

♥ How stunning is the Dior Christmas Party Lips & Nails Set from John Lewis for £48.00!!! Its such a lovely gift set that I'd definitely buy for a loved one that's really into their make up.

♥ A hot water bottle is something nice to give to someone who really loves their snugly duvet days or if your like me, I like to pop it in the bed to make the inside of my bed nice and warm ha ha. You can get the red/white love heart hot water bottle from House Of Fraser for £14.00.

♥ Mittens, mittens, mittens oh how I love you, ha ha. It's essential to have a really nice pair of gloves or mittens during the winter time. The mittens in my gift guide are from Gap and are £9.95 which I thought was a really good price for some good quality mittens.

♥ It wouldn't be a gift guide without the appearance of a festive candle. I chose Yankee Candle's Christmas Eve as it's one of my favourites and just looks and smells so Christmasy. The medium Yankee Candle jars are priced at £16.99 and are available in selected retailers.

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

Nanshy Flat Top Buffer Brush | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I was recently asked by the lovely people at Nanshy if id like to review their Flat Top Buffer Brush, i quickly said yes as i was intrigued to see if another brush brand could compare to my beloved real techniques brushes.

I have to say my first thoughts of this brush itself before i had even used it was it looked and felt very luxurious and expensive and it also reminded me very much of Sigma style kabuki brushes. The brush has a chunky white handle that's nice and light weight, the brush has synthetic, cruelty free bristles which are densely packed and so super soft to the touch, this brush honestly must be the softest bristled brush ever!!!   

The Flat Top Buffer Brush is a dense kabuki style brush that's perfect for applying and blending in liquid foundation. I found the brush was really easy to work with, soft on my skin and blended in my foundation in record time. I loved the finish it gave to my skin after i applied my foundation, it was completely even and so well blended but i did notice it made my foundation feel more lightweight than usual but that could be down to its capability to blend so well. I also love using this brush with cream blushers, it blends the blush onto the skin so well giving you such natural looking results. The only problem i had with this brush is when i washed it, i did lose 2 or 3 bristles, but then that could be down to me being slightly too rough as i never experienced any shedding whilst using this brush with my makeup but other than that i have no grumbles what so ever.

You can buy this Nanshy Flat Top Buffer Brush from beautystore4u.co.uk for £9.95 or you can buy the brush as part of their 4 piece Foundation Brush Set for £31.45. I think the price of the brushes is fantastic for not only the quality but also the results your getting when using these brushes. Overall I would definitely recommend the Flat Top Buffer Brush to anyone looking for a new brush to achieve the perfect base, i can actually see myself getting a collection of the Nanshy brushes going soon too he he.

Have you ever tried the Nanshy brushes??? Whats your favourite ???
