CHRISTMAS: Chelsea Doll

Friday, 20 December 2013

 Heres another super cute stocking/present idea for you guys!

A personalised necklace from Chelsea Doll!*

You've got have to had a name necklace at some point in your life - We all love personalised things and the Chelsea Doll ones are great. You get to choose what font you like and what colour or pattern you want it in!

I loved my old gold one so much, I originally got it as a blog necklace but when I changed my blog name, it was a good excuse to get a new one - even though the old one was still kinda relevant, my real name is still Georgina hahaha
but I do love my new black glitter one! And this time its more personal to my blog!

FASHION: Accessioning My Little Black Bottle

Okay, so I know this is a bit strange and I though so too when I got the email but I'm an open minded and I have lots of free time and brain capacity since being unemployed so I though why not!

The aim of the game is to pretend this black bottle of cava from Freixenet is actually a LBD and I had to accessorise it! Here's what I ended up with!
Clutch - How perfect is this thing?! Ive been wanting it for ages! I love anything holographic not to mention that it is also unicorn shaped! 

 Shoes - Super classic, simple, good looking shoes from Missguided!

Lipstick - OK, I dont wear lipstick but I just love this one, I know its popular among bloggers and it just adds a little bit of colour. I wouldn't wear it irl but to be fair if were thikning like that then you need to take a step back and remember that we are dressing a bottle here!
Jacket  - a little leather jacket to throw over the top brings it all together nicely! This one is from Boohoo.

CHRISTMAS: Gift Ideas For Andrew

Thursday, 19 December 2013


Today I am sending Andrew to Westfield after work to buy his own presents from my parents! I know. I am a terrible girlfriend but he was going there anyway to get some Christmas stuff and know one else has time to go otherwise! My parents always get him a voucher so at least its not ruining any surprise.

For Christmas, so far, I have only got him a new super dry jacket. He doesn't want anything else yet - I only ever get him clothes and he wants them after Christmas when we have all stopped eating and get back to normal size haha. So Christmas is turning into a month long present giving period for me because his birthday is Jan 23rd so it's all mushing into one. 

So while I'm sat at home today and taking a break from job searching, I am looking for the sorts of things I can buy him that wont be affected by getting fat over Christmas. We don't do surprises so I might show him my ideas and see if he fancies any of them! If not, then it looks like we are going to be spending alot of January at either Lakeside or Westfield, not that I mind too much ahaha.
He wont admit it but I'm sure he gets cold, so here we have it, A scarf! Very simple and very manly! and I do love a good cable knit!

He's been into wearing these things and your head kinda always stays the same size right?! I love this colour combination as well!
  
 He loves Michael McIntyre and I will definitely have to do some snooping at his house to find out which ones he already has (which could possible be all of them) before I go and buy anther one! Apparently, he always gets one for his dad and his dad always gets one for him by accident so they always end up with 2. Maybe I should just keep safe and not get one at all ahhh.

For most occasions, I get him a new pair of vans. Boys are weird, he wears this one pair of shoes every single and night until the next birthday or Christmas when I get him a new pair and then he does the same thing! We've done blue and we've done maroon and I thought this colour was a little bit different and interesting.
He lives in the 2 pairs I got him earlier this year so a new pair wouldn't go amiss. Where as i bought more neutral colours before I love the brighter colour of these and I think they will still go with alot of his t-shirts.

As well as this buying new vans saga, we have the same thing with belts, he seems to go through them so quickly. Either he is breaking them or loosing them, seriously he lost his only pair of  black chinos with his only belt for about 4 month this year. And then his dad just found them in the washing. Andrew can always do with a new belt!

I know he is quite an arsenal fan, he even had a job working there for a bit and they have an official gift website. This wallet was my favourite of the lot because the aresnal-ness of it isn't too over powering haha
He has been toying with the idea of getting a Chinese looking tattoo for a while now so I thought this might be a fun way to try it out and then wash it off it he doesn't like it.

GUEST POST: Becka From Beckas Beauty Blog

Hi Guys, It's Becka from over at www.beckasbeautyblog.com! The wonderful Georgina has very kindly let me guest post for her blog and although I've done a mini review of this product as part of #TheAntiAgeing Project with Lianne from www.thebunettesays.co.uk I really wanted to do a bit more in depth one for all of you guys!

The product that I am talking about is the Elemis Pro-Intense Lift Effect Night Cream* which is available to buy for the farily hefty price tag of £95.00 on timetospa.co.uk! I've had quite a few people ask me for my opinion on this product as it's a big old investment for a night cream but honestly, I do think that it's worth it! It feels luxurious and my skin always looks amazing when I get into a real routine of using it. I'm only 21 so I don't think that I need to focus too much on anti-ageing however it's better to start too early than too late! Once I had managed to get myself in to using this every night, my other half Lee commented on how much more toned my jawline looked. I always suffer from having a round face and it seems to be the first place that I put weight on, so for Lee to point out that that area of my face looked improved is really saying something!

You also get a fairly big pot, 50ml to be exact, so it's not huge but it's the biggest pot of night cream that I've ever bought/received and, as you would expect from the price tag, you only need a tiny bit! It has your fairly typical and fresh Elemis scent to it which I've always found to be pleasant, not extraordinary but definately pleasant. I also love that it comes in a very smart looking silver box and the actual pot itself is made from glass. Why is it that a glass pot makes a product instantly more appealing?

As it's Elemis, it's also free from sulphates and artificial colours so you can feel better than you're putting pure goodness onto your skin! There's not a lot else to say about this product, I know that it's a lot of money but once I've finally finished this pot (which will take me until about 2015) I will definately be saving up to buy another!

I look forward to hopefully seeing some of you over on my blog, and "Thank-You" once again to Georgina for letting me post on her lovely blog!

Love, Becka xo


FASHION: Lola & Grace

Wednesday, 18 December 2013

The lovely people at Lola & Grace got in touch a few weeks ago and said they wanted so send me some jewellery just because. They didn't mention anything about blogging about it, but obviously I wanted to. I discovered Lola & Grace a while ago when their Stratford Westfield store opened. With the amount of time I used to spend there, I knew straight away if there was a new shop opening I had to investigate. I walked into a small shop filled with sparkling jewellery. A few pieces looked very familiar which is when I realised that Lola & Grace is actually like Swarvoaki's little sister! They use swarwoski crystals but in brighter colours aimed at the younger generation.

I picked out 4 pieces, one of them was out of stock so they sent me two of the pink ones instead which was really kind of them! I actually have a baby blue Swarvoski version on this pink bracelet which is the spitting image (that's when I noticed the two brands were strangely similar), but as I said, when I bought that one, the colours were a lot more muted and grown up, where as the Lola & Grace versions were all pretty bright colours! I love this bracelet as it is stretchy and dainty and the bright pink is very pretty - I'd love one of these in every colour! They are also super affordable at £14.90
I also loved  the encrusted bangle, anything sparkly and I'm sold. I love everything they sell. Also super dainty but very classy as well and silver goes with most things, I'm definitely silver over gold. Any day. I love in it the blue and green tones that it comes in as well! Another very affordable piece at £29.90.
 Lastly I picked this pretty blue necklace. If you look carefully in each and every of my outfit posts you might see something similar. In January this year, Andrew bought me a pretty blue necklace from Swarvoski which I never ever take off, that kind resulted in the colours getting a bit dull (from the shower I think) so this will make a lovely replacement! Watch out for it in future outfit posts! A steal at £24.90
Massive thank you to the lovely team at Lola & Grace for these lovely little presents! Look out for them in lots of future outfit posts!
