GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM
5 October 2015
I have mentioned recently that Clint and myself are looking at moving out and need to save, we have mentioned starting our christmas shopping a little earlier than usual so we can spread out the cost over the next few months. It's also my dads birthday coming up so I thought i'd put together a little gift guide for him just to get some ideas rolling. My dad is a gadgety person he'd much rather get a toy than something he actually needs, he'd love something like this RC Helicopter from Menkind or this speaker for your phone. I like to buy my dad and clint some essentials, this Pearly King Burrow Knit jumper from Reem Clothing is gorgeous, it would be perfect for the colder months but would be great for christmas parties or boxing day dinner at nans! I think these Vito Cotton trousers from Reem Clothing would go really nice with the jumper. I think you can't go wrong with some aftershave and slippers for any man in your life, the New Sauvage aftershave by Dior smells amazing!
What do you get the men in your life for christmas or birthdays?

A/W 2015 WISHLIST
2 October 2015
I'm trying to save money this season as I really want to move house so need to save up a deposit. I think i'm going to pick out and buy some key pieces for the season that I will be able to work into a few different outfits. I've picked out this gorgeous Grey sleeveless cardigan with the fringe hem from New Look, I think this would work with so many different outfits. You can wear it with jeans and a black top for a really easy casual look and then dress it up with heels for a few drinks. This skirt from Coast is gorgeous, they have some really nice pieces in their A/W sale which started yesterday. I love the tree print, it's a twist on a winter floral. The pinks and blues are so pretty, this is such a lovely skirt and it's reduced to £39. I love this Khaki Tshirt from New Look. I've actually bought a really similar Khaki tshirt to this, (YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY LATEST OUTFIT POST HERE ) I love khaki and I think it's such a lovely autumn colour, i'll be wearing this so much this season. I'm loving t-shirts with my skinny jeans and some lovely ankle boots, these ones from Office are gorgeous, I've been wearing a really gorgeous pair I picked up in Primark. I've just bought a new Fedora, they are perfect for Autumn with the wind and showers. I love this floppy style from Topshop, I bought a really similar one from Primark the other day for £8!
It's about being clever with your money and buying those key autumn season essentials. This Autumn I think floral skirts, sleeveless jackets, fedoras and Chunky Boots are a must have, and just whip out your faux fur Gilet from last year!
TRAVEL : IBIZAAAAAA
1 October 2015
***PICTURE HEAVY POST !!***
MONDAY - We've just got back from Ibiza, I thought i'd share a few things we did during our week in Ibiza. We got there on the monday morning. we had a little chill by the pool and then got ready for the Holi Garden Festival which is like a powder paint party. The music was amazing and it was so so much fun. The Dj was soo good and we met some lovely people and had such a good night!
TUESDAY - BOAT PARTYYY! we went on the Pukka Up boat party. It was so good, really chilled out. We sailed out into the middle of the sea and then the party started! The music was so good, ibiza is amazing! We met some really fab people and had such an amazing time, we headed back in land as the sun set, it was gorgeous. After the boat party, we had a cheeky burger king and then headed back to the hotel and got ready for Amnesia, Example and Pendulum were performing it was so good! The drinks were so expensive 31 euro for 2 drinks.
WEDNESDAY - OCEAN BEACH CLUB, it's a luxury vip style pool area. It's such a lovely day, we got a couple of sunbeds, and relaxed all day! The music is so good and was really chilled out. The pool is really nice and the drinks are good too! You could literally just chill on your lounger all day and they will bring over anything you need. I really enjoyed ocean beach, i'm so glad we went, as I had heard some mixed reviews.
THURSDAY - chilled by the pool and then went on a bar crawl, my favourite bar was Soulcity! They played some really good r'n'b music and it was a really good atmosphere. After the barcrawl we shared a KFC and went and sat on the beach front. Clint did a birthday shoutout in Soulcity and everyone sang happy birthday to me.
FRIDAY - ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!
We had a chill day, went for lunch on the beach front. On the night we went to the Ibiza Rocks Hotel to watch What Hannah Wants. It was so good, we got 2 for 1 tickets aswell because it was my birthday. After the show we headed to the Ibiza Rocks bar on the beach as this is quite close to our hotel. We had a few drinks and I had a really nice birthday with Clint.
SATURDAY - We got a water taxi over to Cala Bassa which is a gorgeous beach. It's really secluded theres nothing around just a small restaurant and the sea! We spent the day sunbathing and chilling out. We went back to the hotel and decided to get ready early so we could have dinner watching the sunset. We went to Kanya which is a restaurant just further along than Cafe Mambo and the sunset strip as this can be really expensive. We had a lovely meal and then had some frozen yoghurt and had some drinks at Cafe Mambo.
SUNDAY - OUR LAST DAY BOO! We went to San Antonio beach and chilled out by Ibiza Rocks Bar. We had an amazing breakfast with pancakes mmmm and I had the most gorgeous frozen strawberry daiquiri on the beach. We had an amazing last day chilling and trying to top up our tans, We went to Tapas which you may have guessed is a Tapas restaurant. It was amazing. it just up a dark road opposite burger king on the main road by the beach. Its seriously amazing! It was so busy and they were fully booked up for the night. We managed to get a table though, the food was so tasty, it was the perfect end to our perfect week away!
I had such a great week and birthday! I didn't wanna come home and i'd go to Ibiza again, there is so so much to do! We had a great mixture of party and chilling out which was so perfect.
FASHION: OUTFIT - KHAKI TSHIRT AND BLACK CULOTTES
29 September 2015
HAT : BOOHOO // TSHIRT: H&M // CULOTTES: NEW LOOK // JACKET : NEW LOOK // SHOES : PRIMARK // BAG : DEB AND DAVE // NECKLACE: CLAIRES
Hopefully back and blogging properly now! Actually got to go out and take outfit photos today! I love this outfit. I bought these culottes ages ago from New Look but they are a little snug on the tummy so keep putting off wearing them. They were fine though, I think they look good with this khaki tshirt from H&M. I always wear khaki and burgundy in Autumn, they are two of my favourite autumn shades. I went to Primark today and bought a few Autumn bits, i've filmed a haul so expect that on my channel soon.
What are your favourite Autumn colours?
FASHION: FREYA SUPERSTAR BIKINI AT OCEAN BEACH IBIZA
26 September 2015
FREYA SUPERSTAR BIKINI TOP : £36.00* AND BOTTOMS £22.00*
So were back from Ibiza, I seriously didn't want to leave! We had the best time, it was so much fun. I did film whilst we were there but my SD card corrupted and i've lost everything, I'm so gutted. I took it to get repaired but it was no good. I luckily took some photos on my phone and other camera.
I love this bikini that I was kindly gifted by Freya, it was so perfect for Ibiza, the mesh material sections on the cups are so on trend. I wouldn't normally buy myself a black bikini just because i'd normally wear more colourful clothes on holiday but the black made it really chic and classy which was perfect for ibiza as everyone got dolled up for a day at Ocean Beach which is a VIP Luxury beach club.
The fit was spot on, I was the same size as I am in my bras, you can get some advise with your size over on the Freya website. The quality is really good, it's a decent sturdy bikini top. The bottoms are really cute and comfy too! I felt amazing in this bikini and felt really confident walking around at Ocean Beach Club.
You can get this bikini here from the Freya website or other Freya Stockists.

LIFESTYLE: KEEPING YOUR HOME WARM THIS WINTER
25 September 2015
I can't believe it's Autumn already, the leaves are all orange and falling off the trees, the temperature has dropped and those nights are getting dark earlier. I thought i'd pop together a few tips and tricks to keeping your house warm for less this winter.
- having the heating on a timer. Do you really need it on all day when no one is at home? Pop it on timer so its on for and hour or so in the morning and before you go to bed, you just need to take the chill out of the house.
- closing doors, I know it seems like an obvious one but I always have my living room door open in the summer and closed in the winter just to keep the heat in.
- put a jumper or a dressing gown on! why sit there in shorts and a vest with the heating on. Pop a dressing gown on, you'll warm up much quicker than the central heating will!
- Using products like MagnetGlaze to block out any draughty windows! They use acrylic plastic sheets which you can get made to measure, they are so simple to install and it reduces the amount of heat lost through the windows. It's a really cost effective way of insulating your house with prices starting at as little as £40. MagnetGlaze is avalible here at The Plastic People website.
-getting a draught excluder for your doors, you can get these from home stores and they are usually really cheap, less that £5. They are just a cheap way to block the gap under your doors.
- I found in my rooms that have laminate or wooden flooring that they can feel alot colder during those winter months, getting a nice fluffy warm carpet or rug is a cheap way to make a room feel instantly warmer. Thicker curtains is another way to warm up a room !
-don't block your radiators with big furniture, this will block the heat coming out. Try having a little move around even if it's just for those colder months.

BEAUTY: VICHY IDEALIA SKIN SLEEP REVIEW
24 September 2015
VICHY IDEALIA SKIN SLEEP - £26.50*
I have to say I find I can be very lazy when it comes to a night time skincare routine, I usually give my face a good wash, usually a double cleanse using good old Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and then use a night cream when I can be bothered. I've recently incorperated Vichy Skin Sleep into my routine.
The number of hours that we sleep has an impact on our skin and how bright it appears. Skin Sleep
is designed to recreate the look of a good nights sleep. The formula is a gel like balm texture. It's nice and thin and not greasy, it soaks into the skin really fast. I feel since i've been using Skin Sleep my skin has appeared more plump and smoother. I've been on holiday so my skin is looking brighter anyway but I feel the plumping aspect makes my face appear more awake.Skin Sleep has been scentifically proven to help make people feel more relaxed when going to sleep and was tested on a panel of nurses, flight attendants and young mums.
I love the smell, its very theraputic and is relaxing, you are instructed to massage the product into the skin in circular motions and concentrate on massaging the temples. This is all very relaxing before bed time.
I think this product is a little out of my budget for a night creme as I said I'm not a massive night routine person however this cream is lovely and really chills me out and gets me nice and ready for bed. I would consider repurchasing this if I felt that a lack of sleep was seriously evident on my skin as I felt this did plump the skin and I did appear more awake and refreshed.
