LIFESTYLE: Last Minute Gifts At ASOS

Monday, 7 December 2015

It's finally December and that brings the first of my gift guides! I say finally but seriously, this year has just flown by like crazy, from Andrews birthday to January, to Valentines day, my birthday and on to our anniversary and Halloween, I cant believe its nearly Christmas! 

I definitely started my Christmas shopping early and I got all of my big presents but I didn't manage to find everything I wanted - I like to fill up a little bag with goodies as well as a main gift so when ASOS got in touch and asked me to have a look through their gift section to see if I could find a few last minute bits and pieces (which they were kind enough to gift to me), it seemed like they had read my mind!

I never think to look through gift sections really as I usually know exactly what I'm going in for but I seriously had a lot of fun scrolling through ASOS's offerings. I ended up filling my basket up to around £300 with bits and pieces that I thought everyone would love as well as some things that made me giggle, I did whittle it down to the most important things though and for just under £100, I picked up all of this - I am most pleased with the whale mug (a treat for myself) and the toilet roll (brothers uni toilet - sorted) and as well as all the stupid novelty gifts that all the boys are going to love, there were also some lovely sophisticated gifts for the girls like a pair of leather gloves for just £20 (I think), a pretty little colouring book and a whole tin of Models Own polish! 

Free delivery and my huge box turned up just a couple of days after I ordered it - I can always trust ASOS!  So if you are looking for some fail safe, last minute gifts - definitely check them out!

FASHION: #AsSeenOnMe ASOS High Waist Deep Plunge Swimsuit

Friday, 31 July 2015

I loved our hotel. It was white, clean, crisp and minimal which made it just such a chilled place to stay. So of course a pool day at the hotel was the perfect opportunity to get my new white swimming costume out. 

This particular swimsuit is from ASOS and has been super popular with other bloggers (ASOS stock it in loads of colours.) I loved the way it looked on everyone esle so I thought I'd give it a try although I was pretty anxious about wearing it to start with. You never see me wearing anything low cut here on my blog because I don't really do it and I wasn't sure if this cut was right for my body shape.

Luckily, I was pretty pleased with how it looked, paired with my massive Primark sunglasses. It was comfortable and everything seemed to stay in place - not that I much apart from laze around on the Bali Beds all day, drinking cocktails and dipping my legs in the pool haha.

FASHION: How To Wear Culottes

Wednesday, 3 June 2015

Culottes were something I wasnt sure about for a long time. I picked up the perfect pair in primark months ago but then put them down and regretted it ever since, I havent been able to find the same style anywhere, in any stores. So when I spotted another pair that I liked on the F&F site, I thought I'd better just go for it this time.  

They are black but with a little bit of detailing which I think is best becuase I woould only wear them with a plain black or white crop top. I think they will be great for work when it starts to get warmer. For those days that arent warm enough for a dress but much too warm for jeans - although for work, I would probably wear them with flats unless I was going out afterwards. Here I have styled them with my simple heels for more of a going out look so something like dinner or after work cocktails.

FASHION: Motel Rocks Tiara Babydoll Dress in Sun Moon Stars And WAMO Giveaway

Wednesday, 25 February 2015

Wamo is a new app that I have been really enjoying using lately. You create lists of all sorts of things from clothes, beauty items, technology ect. Each item you put in a list, you can then tag saying that love, hate, want or need them. They also run daily competitions with big brands to win the items you love - all you usually have to do it add an item from their store into one of your lists - simple as. 

I added this Motel Rocks dress to my need list last week so when the guys at WAMO got in touch with me and offered to have me pick something from one of my lists, this was my first call. This is one of Motels' best ever dresses in my opinion and I'd say alot of people agree because its stayed in they range online and in Topshop for ages. I bought the sunflower version in the summer and I loved wearing it so much that I have wanted a more wintery version for months. The material is light and floaty and it has a cute tie up detail at the back.

Dress - C/O WAMO - Motel Rocks At Topshop
Boots - ASOS
As well as getting me this lovely dress, they have also given me a Dior Show Iconic Overcurl Gift Set to giveaway to one of my followers. Just use the rafflecoptor widget below to enter! 

Remember to tell me what you Love, Hate, Want & Need!

FASHION: Cheltenham Ladies Day Wishlist

Wednesday, 4 February 2015

William Hill got in touch and reminded me that Cheltenham Ladies Day is coming up on March 11th. Either last year or the year before, I made a wishlist of what I'd wear if I had the opportunity (and the money) to go so I thought I'd do the same for Cheltenham Races 2015 Ladies Day! Last time I put together a whole outfit but for this post, I'm going to pick out a few of my favourite dresses so I can make another wishlist. woo! I am really enjoying putting them together lately.
 cheltenham races 2015 ladies day!
Everyone get really dressed up so it's a great opportunity to wear something really out there to stand out. For an event like this, I would always pick a longer dress as I think they look more classy as well as keeping you a little bit warmer. Most of the dresses that initially caught my eye were covered in digital prints, they are just so eye catching!

Lipsy Digital Print
 This is my favourite of all the dresses. I love the material and how the print looks on top of it. The deep pinks are so pretty.
This is a very simple dress but I just love the way bardot looks. I wish I could pull this off but I have had trouble in the past with strapless dresses and I don't think I would be totally comfortable in it.
This print is a little more subtle that the first but I still love the pastel tones on it. I also like that the shapes are symmetrical.
I have had my eye on this dress for a while. I love the material of all my Vesper dresses and the red is such a statement plus it has a very pretty neckline and a peplum to cover your stomach. This would probably be the most comfortable to wear.
This is the most subtle print of the three, it's also the shortest of the five but I would still wear it to an event like this as I think it looks very classy because of its structure and material.

Have You Been To Ladies Day?

FASHION: What To Wear To The Airport

Monday, 19 January 2015

I do love a good fashion challenge so when Qantas Airlines got in touch with their latest one I was super excited, especially since the prize includes two return flights to Australia. My childhood best friend has just moved there as well as one of my old colleagues. They have both made me desperate to visit. It looks and sounds like paradise! As well as the flights they have thrown in accommodation and a tour of the National Gallery of Victoria which is playing host to 'The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk'. Most amazing prize ever? I think so!

They sent me an ASOS gift voucher and asked my to pick out my best flight outfit for a trip to Melbourne. I've never been on a 24 hour flight before but I have been on at 14 hour one and one thing I learnt was that comfort is key! I wore a comfortable, easy dress for that flight and now, I will always wear an easy dress for a long haul flight, even if it is just so I can get those stupid white flight socks on and off easily haha yeah, I wear those, precautions and all. I also much rather being a bit too cold then a bit too hot so as long as I can stand getting in and out of the car on the England side I like to make my outfit more about where I'm going rather than where I'm coming from - although I always take a cardigan since that doubles as a blanket for sleeping on the flight.

For me, as much as comfy clothes are important, comfy shoes are essential. I can't be doing with mine being painful when I have everything else to deal with like walking around the airport shops for an hour or two or trying climb over Andrew to get to the toilets plus wearing my vans there, saves room and weight in the case for all the little sandals and flip flops. I also always travel in my glasses rather then my contact lenses so that I can fall alseep without having to worry about what my eyes will feel like when I wake up. I recently got my new glasses from Glasses Direct, they're Raybans, Snazzy.

I usually take quite a big carry on bag so I can stuff it with all sorts of rubbish to keep me entertained from my ipod, to sweets, drinks and magazines and still have stuff for the important things like my passport.

Dress - HYPE Via ASOS*
Glasses - Glasses Direct*
Cardigan - F&F*
Vans - ASOS
Handbag - Longchamp
Case - Primark

New Years Eve 2014

Tuesday, 6 January 2015

OK! I've turned my laptop back on after nearly three weeks and I'm ready to get started again, finally. It's been a super hectic few weeks obvs and your going to have to bare with me while I get used to actually typing again - I've been finding it a bit hard so far this morning haha. I should start with some holiday photos but as usual, on a family holiday, I didn't really get many interesting ones haha.
My last blog post was on my NYE make up ideas but now I'm going to take you though getting ready and what I actually did on new years eve! As for my outfit I was stuck between two, so I started my day by trying them both on an making a decision. This first one is the one I didn't go with - It's this amaaaazing jumpsuit* from RARE. I loved that it had so many aspects to it with the plunging V neck, the peplum and the sequin body and I am very pleased to say that it actually stays up which I was a bit surprised about. I loved it loads and it was something really different for me but it just wasn't right for the sort of plans I had, I was going for food and cocktails and for me, this is the kind of outfit I'd wear to a club! Isn't it pretty though?

The outfit that I actually ended up wearing was something I bought a few weeks back on a whim. I was literally just scrolling though the Clothing at Tesco site picking up anything that I liked the look of and when it arrived, I noticed that I'd picked out the perfect little top for my night! It's a black crop jumper with gold threat though it which was perfect as the cocktail bar that I went to was going for a black and gold theme! I tried to top with jeans and shorts but finally decided to wear it with a simple black mini skirt and my new boots from ASOS.
 I know I was chatting about my new silver nail polish previously but when I realised it was a black and gold themed night that all changed. The polish that I ended up wearing was actually one of my stand out favourites from the past year so it was quite fitting! Its a gold texture one from Barry M called Majesty and it covers the nails really well. I popped that in my bag for the night along with the other two products I told you about from ASOS! The little mascara sample was great and even small enough to actually keep in my purse. For me, it was great for a more natural look and didn't clump my lashes together! As for the liner, there is no other one I'd use at the moment, its just so easy to apply.

Amongst my outfit and my make up I also wanted to mention my underwear haha. Since either outfit was nice and easy it meant I could wear any shape and colour underwear I fancied. I stuck with my usual every day comfortable fit but opted for this lovely teal set from Ann Summers* (The bra is now just £10 in the sale). I'm not usually one for lace but since teal is my absolute favourite colour, I couldn't resist this! I ordered it online which is very unusual for me and it fitted perfectly - I was very pleased as you can imagine. The cups come with extra removable pads and it was so lovely to find a pair of matching knickers that wasn't a thong.
Now that my outfit and everything else was sorted it was time for a nice relaxing bath before getting ready! I got to use my melting snowman that Andrew bought me as part of my christmas present! He smells like christmas, fizzes up alot more than I expected, left my skin super smooth.

All that's left now is to show you a few photos from the night itself!

 Happy New Year Everyone!

BEAUTY: NYE Make Up

Wednesday, 31 December 2014

Everyone got their plains ready for tonight? I have just about but it was a bit of a rush although I'm super excited for what Andrew and I have planned. Were going to one of our favourite restaurants and then on to one of our favourite cocktails bars in the Oxford street/regents street area! We're not really a crazy clubbing kind of couple although we do like a cocktail or two and as you probably know, we looove going out for food so that suits us well. Obviously I want to dress up so I'm still on the hunt for the perfect outfit but Diet Coke have helped me out in the other parts of getting ready department! A couple of bottle of coke which will be coming to Andrew's with me while we get ready and then a couple of other essentials. For me, pretty nail polish is a must and OPI are always great! Also, a red lip is pretty essential for a statement NYE look and ruby woo is one of the best although I've never worn anything on my lips before so we'll see if I'm brave enough on the night!
As for my eyes, the lovely girls at ASOS sent me a few extra NYE essentials in a brand new Barry M blink liner which I use everyday - I just find it so easy to apply and have gotten through two already this year so I was in dire need of a new one - perfect timing as they come out much blacker when they are new! I also spotted Benefits Bad Gal mascara on the site which I was really interested in, I don't wear mascara everyday but when I do, it'll always be "They're Real" by Benefit so I'm super excited to see if this one is as good! One great thing about the mascara is that it comes in a set with a full sized on and a mini handbag one which is perfect since I'm currently at Andrews and getting ready here tonight so I just threw it in my bag is it didn't take up any room at all! (sorry for the terrible photos, as I said, I'm at Andrews with no photos of what I need so I'm using my phone!)
 For the outfit, I am still really unsure - I have a few ideas but I'm not sure what one I'm going with yet - I'm sure you'll see later on if  you follow me on twitter or instagram but if not I am planning a whole post on the options I have and will include some photos of what I actually ended up wearing on the night! 

 Hope everyone has a lovey evening tonight and Happy New Year!

#AAASecretSanta With ASOS

Friday, 26 December 2014

As someone without an offiey job at the moment I get super sad when I miss out on office things that everyone else seems to dread like the big office Christmas party and Secret Santa and I guess it's the same for a lot of bloggers so we were all pretty pleased when ASOS decided to do a secret santa for all the Access All ASOS members! 

We were sent our persons name and address along with a £15 ASOS voucher and that was that! I send mine off a few weeks ago but I'm not sure if my blogger got hers yet, she hasn't posted anything about it! 

My lovely gift arrived earlier this week strangely enough from a lovely lady I knew - Allie from Rush And Teal. She wrapped it up in super cute paper and string which made it even more exciting plus I loved all three things that she picked - She obviously knows me well and I obviously tweet about food more than I should - Sushi is one of the things I go on about most haha. 

What Did You Get Your Secret Santa?

FASHION: Motel Rocks, ASOS, Ray Bans and Crocs Boat Shoes

Friday, 16 May 2014


Crocs? You read it right, in this outfit, I am in fact wearing a pair of Crocs, although you wouldn't recognise them for the huge rounds mules they were released in 2002. I had a silver pair with flower accessories pushed into the little holes and even at the time I didn't like wearing them haha they were a savour though out my spine op though, so so comfy, definitely not going to slip on the hospital floor and so easy to slip on when it was already taking 15 minutes to get to the toilet haha. 

After my operation, I never really saw or heard of Crocs again, they were gone.. or so I thought haha. The next time I saw them was when they opened a shop at Westfield Stratford, I spend so much time there I wouldn't have missed a new shop opening! It was full of all sorts of shoes, crocs are no longer a big clumpy mule but they do cute little sandals, boots, even heels and of course, the boat shoes featured in today's post, which are just as comfy, non slips and easy to wear as the originals! These will be great for a day at the beach or a water park but this time, this time I just wore them for lunch with Andrew.

What Do You Guys Think? Opinions Changed?

Crop - ASOS
Trousers - Motel Rocks
