Moroccan Oil

I had my hair cut in January and was told that I really needed to stop using as many products on my hair and instead let me hair be a little more natural for a while. Unfortunately I had the usual problem of dry hair with the occasional split end, causing my hair to look limp and lifeless! As a result of this conversation my hairdresser suggested that I start using Moroccan Oil (and only Moroccan Oil) on my hair and see how it goes. I could not believe the results. Genuinely within days my hair began to feel softer and was so much easier to dry because it naturally fell so much more elegantly than beforehand. The product I use below is amazing but I've heard than the price tag for this (at £30 when I bought it) is more than you need to pay for a good Moroccan Oil. Therefore, I recommend to everyone to go out and buy some Moroccan oil of some kind and blog about the results!

Bit of change for April

So everyone, I thought I would share with you a new change in my life that has come just in time for April! I decided to do something a little drastic and had my hair dyed brown yesterday. This isn't my natural colour, it is actually a lot darker as I am a mousy brown colour. But I haven't been that colour since my early teenage years so this is a big shock! What do you all think? I'd love to know your opinions! Have you guys ever done anything like this? :)

New Look Spring Wishlist

1. Red Jacquard Slim Leg Trousers £22.99

2. Wide Fit Tan Suede Tassel Moccasins £22.99

3. Orange and Gold Arrow Spike Necklace £5.99

4. Cream Crop T-Shirt £5.99

5. Tan Leather-Look Mini Satchel £12.99

6. Cream Boucle Dip Hem 3/4 Sleeve Top £19.99

New Look is by far my favourite clothing store and always has been; even in my days of working at Topshop, I couldn't resist a bargain from New Look! So for Spring, although under any other normal circumstances we would be wacking out the gorgeous pastels and bright colours, with the current weather I didn't really think it was appropriate! Instead I have gone for an outfit which I personally would love to wear all together. Firstly the slim leg trousers are stunning and  no doubt so flattering, I have decided that this Spring/Summer I am going to invest heavily in brightly coloured fitted trousers rather than just different coloured jeans as I think there is an element of sophistication to them. Secondly, I am really into suede at the moment, want to get a bit of a collection in my wardrobe and these shoes are just stunning for ever day use. Third, the spike necklace which is a little 'out there' for most, but I think statement jewellery and block colours are a must have for Spring/Summer. As I'm sure the world has seen already, crop tops are a keeper. I genuinely hope they stay around for ages as they are so cute and they perfect for a little twist to an outfit. Fifth, you can never go wrong with a little satchel. I do love the Cambridge Satchel Company bags but sometimes you just need a little something to keep a few bits and bobs in whilt going about daily life. Finally, I added in a longer sleeved top as I feel that if I was to parade around town in the outfit as it stands, I would freeze, so chucking this on top of the current look would be great! What do you think guys?
If you get a chance, definitely check out some of these gorgeous boots for Spring, at New Look. Below are some of my favourites, of which the Limited chelsea boots are a must have for me!

1. Limited Brown Leather Chelsea Boots £69.99

2. Light Brown Double Buckle Ankle Boots £27.99

3. Coolway Tan Paradise Ankle Boots 

£49.99

4. Light Brown Spike Stud Back Ankle Boots

Glossy Box

So I recently started getting Glossy Boxes! I have loved them so far so I thought I would show you the delights of this months box. We have a really lovely red/pink coloured nails inc nail varnish which goes onto my nails so easily (will definitely do a post at a later date), jelly pong pong lip blush which is really nice and soft on my lips! I haven't tried my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream as I haven't got round to it yet but I have heard everyone raving about it; and finally the lovely Juicy Couture perfume sample which I will be wearing out tonight. I'd like to know what the best thing you have got in your Glossy Box in the past? :) I've loved everything I have got so far and am excited to see what is to come!

YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

For months, I have wanted this beaut, the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation in Beige Rose. I know, I know, I am considerably late to blog about this! I think every single one of my favourite bloggers has raved about how wonderful this product is; however, my sister and I received the foundation on Christmas day and ripped open our Christmas packaging to try it as soon as we could. 
I have tried many samples in the past from numerous beauty departments as I tried to get as much of the product free as possible! With a price tag of £28, this foundation is not cheap but now I have my own, I know that I would definitely purchase it again in the future. 
I first loved how this foundation made my skin glow beautifully because of the highlighting element of it. When I had a sample applied in the Westfield John Lewis the beauty assistant was very complementary about this foundation and its ability to provide good coverage yet enhance the face's natural features. I decided to not post about it straight away as I wanted to try it out for a month or so and see how well it is getting on. So far, so good! So get out there and give it a try :)

Birthday Wishlist

As it is my birthday on Friday, everyone keeps asking me what I want, as it is my 21st birthday! To be completely honest there isn't a lot that I actually want from my friends and family. I know, shock horror, a blogger that doesn't want anything for her birthday! So instead I thought I would have a casual browse on the internet at all my favourite websites and check out a few things that looks nice :) Although some are a little unrealistic!



1) Newlook Jeans 2) Vivienne Westwood Watch 3) River Island Smock 4) Whistles Loafers
5) Topshop Snood 6) ASOS Bag 7) Barry M Nail Varnish 8) Topshop Ring

Madeira Christmas Lights

Now that Christmas is over, I think its about time that I told the truth! The materialistic Christmas that now overwhelms the western world has always been something that I've never been too keen on; however, life abroad seems to be a different matter. The week before Christmas, my mother and I traveled to the gorgeous Portuguese island of Madeira for five days for a bit of a break. In Madeira, Christmas seems more about family coming together, religion, beautiful lights and the general celebration of the real reason behind Christmas; which was a joy to be surrounded by. One evening, we decided to sit down and enjoy some white wine sangria and nibbles at The Ritz in the centre of Funchal, the city's capital. We watched the world go by, children and parents laughing and singing whilst Christmas carols played in the background, as we got a little bit merry. So, you lovely bloggers, that is my perfect way to celebrate Christmas. Family, happy festivities and the celebration of what Christmas should really be about!

Fudges Bakery Lemon Zest Biscuits

Although  this may seem like an odd thing to blog about, I have decided that my guilty pleasure is definitely Lemon Zest Biscuits! As a child, my sister and I used to run away with the packet and scoff away each and every one of them. We used to get different shaped ones with animals or stars and be ecstatic every time we were treated to a box. When I attended BBC Radio 2's Carfest  in the summer, Fudges Bakery had a little stall providing passer-by's with yummy sample treats to keep us going. As soon as I saw the Lemon zest biscuits, I knew I had to buy a pack; especially because of the white chocolate added deliciousness. If you get a chance to purchase some of these biscuits then I would definitely recommend it.

Christmas

I have been so busy recently since term finished, rushing around seeing the family, popped across the pond to Madeira for a 5 day holiday with mum, celebrated my one year anniversary with my boyfriend and had a crazy amount of University work to do. So I thought I would do a little picture post on my Christmas day and all the loveliness that came with it! Hope you all had a beautiful Christmas and I wish you the happiest of New Years! :)
