Wine Bomber and Rips

Long Sleeve Bodysuit - Pretty Little Thing

Eyelash Lace Bralet - Miss Pap

Bomber Jacket - Pretty Little Thing

Joni Jeans - Topshop

Chelsea Boots - Topshop

I seem to have a little obsession for Bomber Jackets at the moment, so when I saw this wine coloured number on my favourite website, Pretty Little Thing, it just had to go in my basket! I love the vibrant colour and the gold zip and button detailing. Its the perfect transitional piece, so I had to base this latest post around it. I wanted to keep the rest of the outfit quite muted to really allow the Jacket to stand out. I paired it with another item I picked up from Pretty Little Thing, which was this white long sleeved body suit with a deep plunged neckline, perfect for dressing up or down. 

I chose to style it with this black lace Bralet from Miss Pap, which gives you a bit of extra coverage for the daytime. I am planning to wear the Bodysuit on it's own in the evening to really show case the neckline and bare a little flesh! For this look I paired it with another pair of my favourite Jeans, the high waisted Joni Jeans from Topshop which I have in at least four other colours! I picked this gorgeous dark grey colour, again with rips in the knees. The Jeans really dress down the pretty lace and plunging neckline, keeping the outfit casual. I finished the look with my black Chelsea Boots.

Valentines Day at Lush..

Another Holiday, another Lush Collection and Valentines Day at Lush does not disappoint! I had to walk away with only five new products to add to my collection, but I seriously could have bought the lot! I am quite a slow starter with my love for Lush, but I am trying my hardest to catch up! I just ran out of my Christmas stash, so Valentines Day had it's perfect timing! 

First up is Lover Lamp, a Brazilian orange oil and vanilla bath bomb with fair trade organic cocoa butter hearts which will melt and coat your skin in moisture. I'm looking forward to trying this one as I haven't yet gotten around to trying one of their Bath Melts, so this will be a little taster. 

Secondly is Sex Bomb, a bath bomb with a fragrant blend of jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage, jasmine which is used in aromatherapy to ease stress and anxiety, ylamg ylang which is renowned for soothing worries and clary sage which clears the mind. This is the one I am most looking forward to trying as I am having trouble sleeping at the moment and it sounds like it would be perfect to help soothe my mind before bed. 

I had to get some products that weren't bath bombs! So I picked up The Kiss, a lip scrub with a smoothing blend of fine sea salt, caster sugar, fair trade cocoa butter and a little almond and mandarin oil which softens the skin and leaves a delicious taste on the lips! I already have the Bubblegum lip scrub which I cannot live without, so I just had to have this with the edible hearts! 

Back to Bath Bombs! I picked up Tisty Tosty, based on a medieval love potion studded with several real rosebuds, it is scented with a captivating combination of floral orris root powder, rose and lemon. As it dissolves, you will fall in love with the scents of geranium, jasmine and rose oil which is used by aromatherapists to lift the spirits. This is the one I find most interesting being based on a love potion, so I just had to pick it up and I'm looking forward to the rosebuds floating around in my bath.

Finally, Unicorn Horn, a bubble bar with relaxing lavender oil and mood-brightening neroli oil, which increases serotonin levels in the brain which makes us feel content and cheery. I think this will be a perfect combination alongside Sex Bomb, I think I should have stocked up...

Burgundy Lace and Bows

Tie Front Crop Top - Pretty Little Thing

Eyelash Lace Bralet - Miss Guided

Joni Jeans - Topshop

Chelsea Boots - Topshop

Tote Bag - Michael Kors

Pretty Little Thing is currently my latest obsession! I can't believe I have only just found this website, with newness hitting down every day, my wish list just keeps getting longer and longer! One of my favourite pieces at the moment is this White Tie Front Crop Top, which is what I have based this look around. The top has a small inverted collar and is completely held together by the bow at the front, which you can tie yourself, so you can tie it to fit your own waist. You can style the bow the way you wish and the way that the ribbon drapes down is so elegant. 

The neck line is a deep V shape, so it cuts particularly low. You can wear the top alone and bare some flesh, or you can style it like I have with a Burgundy Lace Bralet just to give you that bit of extra coverage. Paired with some High Waisted Joni Jeans, it gives you just a small strip of skin under the top. I picked these coloured jeans to give the pretty, feminine bow and lace, a grunge twist, with a dark, dirty denim colour and rips within the knees. I finished the look with my Black Chelsea Boots. With the colder weather we are having at the moment, in keeping with the grunge twist, I often style this outfit with my Black Bomber Jacket, found here. 

New Year Resolutions

Its a New Year and I am setting my New Years Resolutions, with the first being to re-start blogging. I took the plunge to start blogging back in 2014 and I loved it, it gave me an outlet to be creative and I think the older you get, the less time you allow yourself to be creative. After a few months of blogging, I had the chance to move, which I took and life just got in the way over the next year. Now I am in a better place to have the time to go back to doing what I enjoy. I have already started planning my posts and the first one will be up next week!

The second is starting a Youtube channel, which is something I have wanted to do for a while now but which I have always put on the back burner due to a few reasons. One being the same as why I stopped blogging and another being that writing a blog is one thing, but recording a video is another! Over the past few months I have been watching my favourite Youtubers and have decided this is the year! I have already started planning my videos and I am ambitiously aiming to upload two videos a month to begin with! The first one will be up in a couple of weeks time!

The last three are more personal Resolutions, the first being more positive. I am a very positive person, but over the last few months I think I have just let life get on top of me and I want to get back to my usual self. I have been reading the Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan and it is so inspiring! I have already started my own Gratitude Diary where I write down three things I am grateful for every night. I am aiming to read other books and try other ideas, so I may share my journey with you on what I find within a monthly blog post or video.

The second is becoming more healthy, over the past year I have put on a bit of weight. I haven't been exercising and I have been making poor food choices. This year I am wanting to start going to the gym again and start eating healthier. I always struggle for ideas of what to eat and also what to do when in the gym, so I'm going to try the Lean in 15 book by the Body Coach. Which I have recently stumbled upon on Instagram and have read great reviews. I'm not one to give great advice on this topic, but I may carry out a review on his book and share with you anything else I try along the way.

The last is taking care of myself more, as I haven't been visiting the dentist or opticians for regular check ups, I've not even registered with a doctor since moving! So this year, as silly as it sounds is about going back to the basics in terms of healthcare. In terms of taking the time out to pamper myself I will be trying out different beauty products, electronics and having weekly pamper nights, so I am excited to share with you reviews, hauls and routines!
