LIFESTYLE: IMPOSSIBLE EXPERIENCES



I'm one of 'those people' who always talk about winning the lottery and what i'd do if money wasn't an issue etc so I thought i'd share the main things i'd like to do. I went to Florida in America last year and it was amazing ! I loved Universal and the shopping outlets, it was the best holiday ever. We only visited Orlando, Florida and we drove down to Daytona Beach for the day and it was so relaxing just chilling out at the beach.

 I'd absolutely love to drive across America and travel to all of the different cities and states. I want to go shopping in New York and see the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, I want to go for coffee in Central Park and go back to Florida and go to Disney World, the next place I really want to visit in America is Las Vegas, I know this isn't really impossible because I wouldn't be able to get the time off work to travel across America and I couldn't afford too.

There's so so many places in the World that i'd love to visit, including Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, South America and many many more. I just wish there was a way I could go a visit all these places. It would be amazing if you could buy an experience day that got you out of work and was super affordable, and with it you could visit so many amazing places in the world and you got to see the wonders of the world.

If money was no object and you didn't have to worry about your commitments what would you do? where would you go ? Imagine that you could create your own experience day and the sky was the limit, what would you choose? Into The Blue have put together a competition and want to hear the best ideas you can come up with, head over to their website to enter

INTU MERRY HILL AUTUMN/ WINTER FASHION EVENT


I love Autumn/ Winter fashion, I hate being cold but I love coats and jackets paired up with dresses and thick tights! I can't wait till payday as there's so many things I want to buy!

This weekend (11th & 12th October ) at Intu Merry Hill is all about Autumn/ Winter. Head on down for some amazing fashion shows and exclusive offers and discounts!

I'm working over the weekend so I won't be able to attend which i'm so gutted about as I know the fashion shows will be amazing! I love seeing what the high street stores have to offer.

There's a list here on the Intu Merry Hill website so you can see what stores have discount on over the weekend. http://intu.co.uk/merryhill/events/autumn-winter-fashion-event

I will be heading to Intu Merry Hill next week to have a little look around the shops, here's a few things that i'm loving right now! Black Opium is a new perfume from YSL which i'm currently in love with! It's such an amazing scent, it's warm and luxurious. This weekend The Fragrance Shop are offering £5 off a £30 spend which is a fabulous bargain, Christmas is around the corner so start your shopping this weekend and get yourself some bargains.

This Oasis dress is amazing! It's new in for the Autumn/ Winter season. I'm loving the blue and yellow colours together and I would never normally go for a blue dress but this looks so good.
I would wear this with tights and some big chunky boots like these ones from Clarks and a big chunky coat. I love this one from Quiz as it's a classic style and you could wear it with so many outfits.


The event is on this weekend at Intu Merry Hill, between 9am- 5pm. There will be loads going on so head down if your after some amazing Autumn/ Winter Fashion ideas and want some discount on top of that!

Passion For Fashion Competition


I love the Kelly Brook range for New Look ! The bikinis are great and so unique. I can't wait to get my denim shorts out wheres the sun? 

I love polka dots ! This cute casual tee teamed with a leather look skirt and your converse for that cute but sporty look 


I love this burgundy colour and think gold and black go great with it for a classy look on a night out - i'd team this with my leather jacket good to go !

Motel Rocks London Fashion Week

Jacket// Dress// Bag //Necklace - All Motel Rocks 

If I was going to London Fashion Week I'd wear this as my Front Row Outfit. Its casual but chic enough for the catwalk. The dress is one that I've been eyeing up for ages. I really Love Monochrome stripes and I think this dress is a really lovely skater design. The Vertical stripes are very flattering and would be great for my body shape. I would team this dress with a leather jacket like this one here to add that bit of punk to the outfit and also it's February so were going to need jackets! I love this bag its from the Zatchels range on MotelRocks I think its such a lovely cute size and looks really cute and would make the whole outfit tie together. Finally abit of bling! The gold collar necklace is gorgeous and exactly what this outfit needs abit of colour the pearls on the necklace give that sense of class and makes the whole outfit look abit more expensive. I would wear my comfy chelsea boots with this outfit because theres going to be loads of walking involved. 
Another thing you could do with this outfit is add little bits of colour - I think neon colours would work well with this outfit and I'm pretty sure there will alot of neon at Fashion Week. 


I love Cath Kidston


You only have to look at my blog to know I love Cath Kidston. My banner is a floral pattern, I have pink fonts and all of my posts have cute floral backgrounds :)  I do love floral patterns. I love shabby chic, vintage style furniture. 

Cath Kidston UK Ltd was founded in 1993 when designer Cath Kidston opened a tiny shop in London's Holland Park. She began by selling vintage fabrics, wallpapers and brightly-painted junk furniture she remembered fondly from her childhood. Her clever witty re-working of traditional English country house style meant that her shop soon became a cult success.

Gradually Cath Kidston began to design her own prints and products. One of the first was a printed ironing board cover-practical, quirky and with a distinctive floral print, it has come to epitomise the Cath Kidston look.

Cath Kidston products are just so pretty and such good quality! Their bedding is so thick and comfy and its just gorgeous. I love the antique rose bouquet Duvet cover (the middle image) Its such a lovely floral pattern, I just love the red and pink flowers and I like the white background because it makes the pattern stand out more and its really bright. I love how Cath Kidston products look vintage and shabby chic :) I just love everything in the Cath Kidston section. I really want to buy a night gown like this floral one and some of the polka dot cushions.

Visit the Amara website to buy these lovely Cath Kidston Products

Barratts Competition Entry


This is my entry for an amazing chance to win £100 to spend at Barratts which is amazing since they have so many fab shoes and boots to choose from. Here's just 3 pairs of shoes that I absolutely LOVE! First of all these Chelsea boots ! As you will all know I'm a huge fan of Chelsea boots and i've bought pair after pair of them! I really like these as they are suede and I think that they would look lush with a pair of skinny jeans or with a nice skater skirt and a jumper. You can get these for only £35 on the Barratts website. Next up is these Leopard slipper style shoes- I love leopard print and I really cant get enough of how easy it is to wear- I pop a leopard belt on and wear leopard shoes with so many outfits and just love how nice these are. I really like the gold chain that makes them look more glamourous. And last but not least I think everyone should own a pair of loafers - I have a tan pair and i'd love to get my hands on this patent black pair. They would go with everything! They are so versatile and I think they look smart but would dress up a pair of skinny jeans and for £15.30 they are a steal ! 

All these shoes are available on the Barratts website but pop on to Terri's blog and enter her giveaway for the chance to win some vouchers :) 

HOUSE OF FRASER COMPETITION



I really loved these boots and these were the first thing I looked at on the house of fraser website so I kind of worked my outfit around the boots. I love how they are just simple black boots but with a cute gold zip, I've incorperated elements of gold into the outfit with the bag and watch. I tryed to create a grungy cute girly rock look, which with spikes and studs being in at the moment I think this is going to be a popular look when autumn/ winter arrives. The leggings are similar to the disco pants from american apparel but these don't have the £70 price tag and are a bargain at £30 I love leggings, They are great when you wanna look nice but be comfy. I really love the rose pink of the top and think that the peplum bottom will sit really nice against the shiny leggings again creating that girly rocky look. 
I think this Vivienne Westwood bag just tops off the whole outfit - pulling it all together and makes it complete. 

REDROCK competition entry.

I chose these two studded tops from REDROCK 

I really love the grunge style of the tops and would team them up with a pair of disco pants like the ones above from american apparel! I think with a pair a leopard print ballet pumps and your raybans you will be ready to hit the shops this summer. I would say this would be a pretty casual outfit but you wouldn't go unnoticed!

I really love the sleeveless tank top style at the moment so I love the studded tank but the tee version would be really cute as a more summery option teamed with a pair of vintage levi's like the cute reworked versions on REDROCK!
