Now the clocks have gone back it can be trickier to motivate yourself to get up early and hit the gym or head to that class after work or uni when you’re tired and all you fancy doing it curling up on the sofa with a box of Milk Tray. I’ve got three tips to help yourself get motivated to keep your fitness going into the winter months.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how cute these tights are? They were super cheap from Primark and add a little something extra to a typical outfit for me. If you know me, you know that I pretty much live in denim in stripes and this CDG Play style top is actually from eBay and I’ve found a super similar one here from Daisy Street for only £12.99! My black denim pinafore is actually from New Look and again there’s a similar one here from ASOS which is lovely. I threw on my trusty Warehouse Faux Leather Jacket, similar in real leather from Mango here and my favourite Vans Old Skool Classic Trainers. Jewellery wise, my Crossbones Ring is from Bloody Mary Metal and the Large Stone Ring is from Rock n Rose.
If I had to choose one region to visit or style to wear or even Pinterest board to just pin to forever it would be something Scandinavian. I’m dying to visit Sweden, Denmark and Norway just to see if it’s really as awesome as Pinterest makes it look. I love the interiors, the fashion and the food looks pretty great too. I mean, IKEA meatballs are probably hardly on par with actual Swedish meatballs but I think they’re pretty good! Here are three things to focus on if you want to Scandi up your life a little bit!
Snuggling down for Bake Off in the winter is never the same without a sweet treat, is it? Sometimes a biscuit or a couple of squares of dark chocolate isn’t enough and I feel like I need a proper homemade feeling pudding. Step in my amazing new discovery of Dr Oetker Pud In A Mug Sponge Puds! You must know all about the ‘mug cake’ trend, right? Well, these are mug cakes without the faff of actual ingredients and with a surefire guarantee that it’ll work every time!
Recently, McArthur Glen East Midlands Designer Outlet invited me down to check out their awesome White Shirt Bar that’s been up and down the country at all of the designer outlets. Opened by Milly Mackintosh earlier in the month, (one of my style crushes), and showcasing all of the gorgeous shirts that Brooks Brothers have created, the White Shirt Bar is a pretty cool addition to any shopping trip.
This is my take on the Tailored Goth look from Topshop’s recent beauty tutorial. I created it with a few of the awesome Topshop beauty products, namely the amazing Matte Lip Bullet in Get Me Bodied which is a killer colour! I’m also wearing the Kajal Kohl Liner in Lucky 13 and the Matte Liner in Soot and the super cute rose gold Topshop Skull Choker.
Party season is a comin’ people! It’s time to get sparkly, sequinned up and sassy because no doubt you’re going to have all kinds of nights out, parties and get togethers to go to over the next couple of months. I’m not usually a really girly girl during the day, I live in trainers most of the time, but, I do love a little bit of sparkle when it comes to the festive period. Here are 6 of the best sequin pieces on the market right now, ranging from the pricey to the pocket-friendly!
When winter rolls around it’s usually all about dark colours, jewel tones and black. I wear a lot of black. Black jeans, black leather jacket, black boots or trainers. Lots! But, I’ve been having a browse, as usual, online and I’ve found loads of nude and white pieces that I’m loving at the moment so decided to do a little wishlist post. The only catch is they’re all really impractical for the winter time but, what’re you gonna do?
When I heard we were getting a Red Dog Saloon, right opposite Rub and just down the road from the epic Red’s True BBQ I did wonder how they’d manage to differentiate themselves from the smoky competition but after taking a trip last weekend I can safely say it definitely has a space in Nottingham’s meaty market.
With Christmas on the horizon, pennies are definitely tight for everyone. Even though we know it comes on the same day every year, it’s still a big expense! I think it’s impossible to properly budget for Christmas because you just don’t know what’s going to pop up and need paying for. That being said, DIY gifts are a great way to cut costs over the festive period. They’re also fun to make and will definitely make your friends and family smile.
