Hello 2017! Review over the year

All Saints Bales Leather Jacket, Topshop MOM highwaisted Jeans and Zara Star Shirt

Hello 2017

Well I hope you all had a fantastic first week back at work or your normal routine. I certainly did!! I went on holiday with the family before the children had to go back to school, but then came home to my website had crashed and my LG4 phone, completely died and losing all my photos as Google had stop backing up my photos and I had not noticed. So this is a bit belated.

I wanted to start this post off thanking all of you who comment and have liked, shared and basically been very supportive. I look forward to keep on growing and with going back to work properly in the New Year as my youngest starts nursery (boo) that I will be churning out more content for you all.

I started my blog back in March 2015 and when I look back even to last year how just getting a DSLR in June (Anniversary Gift from the old man) my photos have come on leaps and bounds and it was a real game changer for me. I’m sharing some of my Favorite posts and some that you guys really liked. So here we go…

Hm red knit with a ASOS Leather skirt and Camel ~FEdora from Primark — H&M Fashion Red Knit with ASOS Leather skirt and Camel colour Fedora

I wore this (blog post) back at the beginning of 2016. I loved this Red Jumper from HM (Old stock) (similar) and Leatherette skirt from ASOS as I felt smart,comfortable yet casual. This Jumper I wore endlessly over the last few months until it got so incredibly bobbly that I had to put out to pasture, Or so I thought I had just stored it away and resurrected it bobbles and all for a Lookbook for my YOUTUBE channel I did for Kaleidoscope in December. Such a well loved jumper that I did finally say goodbye to it.

This picture makes me laugh so much, as I thought I looked so cool (I didnt) Look at how I have poured myself into my beloved Leather Jacket that I just couldn’t come to terms with, that I had outgrown it (to put it polity). I bought it on a amazing trip to New York when I was 18 years old and now I am (cough) 36 years old its time I will have to let it go. Look at the quality of my photo this was taken on a point and shoot. What a difference to my DSLR photos!!.

This was my first semi popular makeup tutorial on YouTube and I really enjoyed creating this super easy Smokey Blue eye Makeup tutorial. Why not have a butchers, if you missed this as its quite amusing. Oh and informative of course!.

3 min French Braid For Short Hair Tutorial

Its always the things we think of last minute that strike a cord with others. This is exactly what happened here. I had finished creating a winged eye makeup tutorial and thought it would be fun to quickly braid my fringe (video here). It took me 3 minutes and to date it is my most watched video! It goes to show you never can tell. Why not have a try of this Braid as its a time saver for the mornings when you want a extra 10 minutes in bed!.

Things change

This was my first semi luxe purchase I had saved for the All Saints Bale Leather Jacket for 3 months. You can’t say I didn’t deserve a new one it had been 18 years since my last one!!. I think this was my first proper dabble into fashion blogging and I realized I really liked it. At this point my whole life had been turned upside down, a lot was going on in my personal life. I manage to keep this separate from my blog as long as I could as I was just going through the motions.

My best friend, my confidant, My Mother, was diagnosed with Lung and Thyroid cancer. She had just only beaten breast cancer back in 2012 and here we were again not just facing one, but two major fights on our hands. I say ‘ours’ because I was with my mum every step of the way I wouldn’t of missed any of those appointments, to finally be able to give support to her when she had supported me so much over the years. As things got more intense I began to throw myself more into my blog as I found talking about mundane stuff hair, fashion and make up, gave me a relief from the tenseness of having to process life and death decisions. My mums Lung cancer (never smoked in her life) was spotted by a chest infection that just wouldn’t shift. She is so fortunate to have had such great care from the NHS and Macmillian nurses. Mum is doing really well now but it was such a scary time to see the one you love and admire so much, needing you to step up to the mark. It changed my whole outlook on things, in a good way. Not to sweat the small stuff, trying not to react to drama that having such a big family can create and appreciating little things in life.

Bumble and bumble Surf Infusion Beachy Waves For Short Hair

This was my Bronzy, Beachy look that I loved creating with Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion. It was so easy with Surf Infusion and I did a tutorial of it on Youtube. It worked very well showing it in our Hair salon as it such a quick technique.

This photo is my collaboration with UnCloset a Luxury Handbag service. Look how beautiful the Chloe Georgia bag is? I loved using it and it photographed perfectly. It was a scorching hot day at the Trafford center in Manchester and I was melting taking these photos. A far cry away from how the weather is now. From now on you see my photos improving as I have my baby Nikon D5300 DSLR its a cracking camera. Have a look at the Amazona Loewe Bag and my favorite Celine Diamond bag.

This was my first collaboration with the a fantastic brand Kaleidoscope. This gorgeous Zig Zag Faux Fur Jacket (sold out Similar) is so incredibly warm and every where I wear it someone always ask where it is from. I then got the opportunity to film a Lookbook how to style a party dress 3 ways.I styled the gorgeous Animal Print velvet dress is was a breeze to style. It was so much fun to film and edit and I cannot wait to do another one.

Review of Uncloset-Luxury Handbags

Jaegar Camel Coat, Matalan White blouse with neck tie,Leatherette Pencil Skirt, Carvela Black Court Shoes, and Celine Diamond Shoulder Bag

Luxury Handbags

Well Hello there! We are nearly at the end of the week and I have to say I am looking forward to this week being over!. Today I have a little review of a fantastic new company that is launching 1st December, its called Uncloset. The concept is genius and when they contacted me to take part in their trials I was intrigued on how it was going to work. So, here is the skinny. The crux of it, is that for a monthly subscription fee you can get your paws on some really coveted high end luxury bags on a regular basis. “What!” I hear you say,” hows that possible??” If you are anything like me and love all things luxe, but your budget just doesn’t stretch to that or your conscience doesn’t allow you to spend that kind of money when you have other priorities in life, like feeding and clothing your family, saving for a house or just that you know you will like the bag now but maybe not in a years time. This is the service for you. You pay a monthly subscription fee, which then enables you to pick from some amazing handbags, it is then delivered to your door and bam! you slip your essentials into it and be out the door swinging your new bag giving you a bit of sass to set you up for a great day!. When you are fed up with it you pack it up and swap for another, it is as simple as that. I cannot recommend this service enough. It is efficient, fast and I had so much choice I was in a real tizz on occasions on what to choose.

What I chose

See below my three choices that I made. Chloe Georgia, Loewe Amazona and the Celine Diamond Bag and how I styled them individually. They are all so unique and are beautifully crafted, and it was such a treat to take part in this. This service would also be Perfect for Bloggers as you can just do it month by month with no tie-ins so gives you the freedom to use this service for Fashion Week, or any events where you will be photographed with the latest bags. It is great to have the latest Luxury piece, but without the price tag.

Wardrobe Essentials- Camel Coat

Wardrobe Essentials-Jaegar Camel Coat

Hello Everyone doesn’t Monday come round quick! I hope you have had a lovely weekend and Im kicking off with a oldie but a goodie – The Camel Coat.

The Camel Coat joined my wardrobe family at the back end of last year. It was one of those purchases where I had seen a few ones that I liked but was just not willing to take the plunge, because of the price. Then low and behold this beauty flashed before me while I was steaming through our local T K Maxx, as you have to go through there to get to other stores in the shopping center, Clever eh?! I tried it on and instantly I felt the connection of what only a well made garment can give you, and I knew it was worth the price as it had been reduced by 75% – RESULT.

This coat is from Jaegar, and is so well made (of course!) and when I put it on, it just falls onto the right places and makes anything I put it with, just that little bit more special. The Colour is that right shade of camel, if you have seen many Camel coats, you will know that they vary in shade. This is the better shade and is so soft to the touch, yet still structure enough to hang well on the torso. Sadly, it is no longer available from T K Maxx, but is back in store for full price. Definitely worth the investment. I teamed mine for a classier look, with a white blouse from Matalan (old), a Leatherette Skirt from ASOS (last year) and a pair of court shoes from Carvela. Oh and not forgetting my friend Celine (Diamond Shoulder bag) who is very demanding, and easily rivals, if not stills the show from my camel coat.

Casual it up

My second look is a more laid back look, but just to show how versatile this coat is, that it just works on so many levels. I paired it with a oversized Grey wool jumper from HM, Topshop MOM High waisted Jeans, Adidas Stan Smiths and of course Celine Diamond Shoulder Bag. This is one look I wear on repeat as it it never fails to tick all the boxes for me in looking presentable, but on point!
