Nothing really matters when we're dancing


Outfit:
Black and white polka dot blouse with a peter pan collar: Primark
Pleather shorts: Topshop
Black oversize faux fur coat: C/O Motel Rocks
Polka dot spotty tights: Primark
Glittery toed black suede shoes: Kurt Gieger

This was suppose to go up quite a few weekends ago but only got hold of the photos as my email is pants!

How frigging amazing in my new coat very kindly gifted to me by Motel Rocks after I attended their blogger event. I cannot thank them enough, it really is such a gorgeous piece! I feel so warm and snuggly, perfect for the cold snap we seem to be having at night. I haven't taken it off since I got it. Anyone else think that the evenings are getting colder?

Like I said a few weeks ago, I had a much needed girls night out. It consisted of lots of dancing, far too many shots, lots of giggles and a classic chicken doner kebab. I need to do it all over again as soon as possible. Just as well then we have another night out planned for tonight! Sadly these shoes do not belong to me, I stole them off my friend for the photos. She really does have one of the most amazing shoe collections I have ever seen, puts me to shame! Luckily she is the same size as me...

Motel have very kindly offered my readers a generous exclusive discount code, see the button in the sidebar. I have my eye on this dress, how perfect is it for the festive season! Why not treat yourself to two for £50 as an early Christmas present too!

Yuki Christmas Press Day

I was very kindly invited along to the Yuki press day again by the lovely Priya and once again had a great time pawing over all the pretty clothes. Looks like Yuki has done it again!

We were all very spolit with some gorgeous cupcakes, tasty smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, a nice catch up with Hannah and Lily as well as some very strong cocktails. Even a bit too strong for a cocktail lover like me ;)



Yuki really do have some gorgeous pieces, I always love their attention to detail. A quirky print or a pretty frill really do help give the clothing that extra oomph. I particularly loved the knitwear, one piece that really stood out for me was the jumper with the textured hearts on. I can think of a million outfits that this would be perfect for!

Once again I was drawn to the dress, something that frequently happens! These two just happen to be my favourite. I love the simplicity of the first dressed, perfect to be dressed up or down. Makes it great to wear to work on a Friday when you are going out for cocktails in the evening!

I just adore the colour of the second dress. Wine is fast beginning my to go colour whenever I go shopping. Gorgeous isn't it?


Thank you ever so much for the invite and the amazing goodie bag, love the cardigan!

Soap and Glory Spray on Body Moisturising Mist - Review

As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of Soap and Glory and usually recieve a fair bit of it for Christmas and my birthday. I recieved the moisturising mist for my birthday back in January from a very dear old friend of mine. So old in fact we have been friend since we were both four. It really does show just how much body/skincare I have that I have only just gotten round to using a product I have had for 11 months. Anyway I digress.

Once again Soap and Glory packaging has come up trumps. I really do adore the retro feel and the pink and white make the product seem very girly. I like brands that seem to "talk" to you. Ted Baker is a prime example of this as you always find little sayings in the products, it helps make them feel more personal. In the particular product it states "Do your own flirty work". Well if you insist...

Onto the actual product. I always try to moisturise whenever I have a shower, particularly my legs. However this can be quite time consuming especially when you like thick products such as Palmers Coco Butter. Therefore this product is perfect for when you are in a rush and as the packaging suggests it really is a "mist". It is so easy to spray on your skin and dry almost instantly, very rarely do you have to rub it in. I don't think I will use this everyday as I still do prefer the luxury of a thick moisturiser on my skin. But once this has run out I think I will purchase it again as it is great for those mornings when you oversleep by half an hour.

Are you a Soap and Glory addict too?
