I know summer is still a while away but I couldn't resist making some new purchases! Just like most girlies I have a bit of a shoe obsession. Everyone has a style that they go for and mine definitely have to be wedges! Not only do they give me a helping hand with my height but they are great daytime shoes because they are comfortable and go with everything. Every summer I look for a new pair of wedges to add to my collection but can sometimes never quite find exactly what I have in mind so when I saw these new babies I couldn't resist! I had to buy buy buy....

Thank God it's Friday! I really felt like dressing down and being a bit casual today so I've gone for my mod-tomboy look. The only pair of trainers I own are my white converse but every time I wear them, I feel I need to smarten up a little bit on top with a shirt / blazer. My outfit today is all about my Chanel inspired shirt which I threw on this morning with a pair of jeans. I don't like looking too smart because i feel about100 years old so combining the shirt with a pair of trainers and jeans is the way i like to mix things up. Although I am a girlie girl and I love my heels,  trainers are so comfortable and snug. Nothing like finishing work on a Friday, going for a few drinks and knowing that your feet aren't going to kill you a couple of hours later. So what do you think guys? Do you like this look? Are you feeling it?

Hey guys. Apologies for not blogging for seems for ever but I've had an extremely manic few weeks and I've truly neglected my blogy blog. Soweeeeee! From now on I'll be on top of it! So I want to talk about make-up.... or lack of it may I add. For some reason, as I've got older, I've felt more comfortable going out and about wearing no make up. It started when I used to go on holiday and found there was no need to layer my face and clog up my pores if I was going to spend the day chilling on the beach or by the pool.  I used to come back with glowing skin and a refreshed face and got a lot of comments from it. Obviously a lot of it is to do  with sunshine and relaxation but I also found that not wearing make up for days on end was good for the skin! So now it's got to a point where a lot of the time i have make up free days! My friends are divided; some wouldn't dream of leaving their house without a hint of bronzer or foundation and others are with me! I personally think that it's really healthy to give your skin at least two  make-up free days a week to give it time to breathe and get some sunshine and fresh air. So I'm going to do it! I'm going to post make-up less pictures because i think its the best beauty secret. It's liberating in a way and I'd like to know .... who else is with me ladies???

Hey Hey Hi It's Friday! I've had a bit of a can't be bothered no make up week so thought I'd smarten up today for a change! Fridays are always days to make a bit of an effort in case you end up out and about after work. I'm loving my new Zara blazer (also got in the sale) and of course my trusted high waisted  jeans from ...... you guessed it Zara! ( I sound like a Zara ad campaign). When I wear heels in the day I always try to go for my most comfortable ones - my block heel shoe boots from New Look  have been my best buy! Happy Friday!! xx 

So I've been seeing and hearing about all these illusion dresses that are supposed to make you look two sizes smaller and was of course skeptical. Kate Winslet did look amazing in the  curve hugging Stella McCartney number but i just couldn't figure out how they work on different body shapes. That was all before I came across this lovely 
dress from h&m.I was just browsing at the last of the sales when i spotted it and tried it on just to see what the fuss was about. Not only was it a surprisingly good fit, it actually did make my waist look smaller! (maybe not two dress sizes but definitely smaller). It seems like colour blocking has finally been put to good use by outlining lovely feminine shapes while simultaneously moving eyes away from  all that is unflattering. Having also picked it up in the sale I am extremely pleased with this buy!
