It's all in the Detail... Style Diary #19

Silver Accessories
I have a confession... I've been cheating on Rose Gold with Silver... Just lately I've had a thing for silver accessories as I love the way they can make an outfit pop, just like a red bag or shoes do.

It all started with this silver bag I picked up in the sale in River Island last month. This bag has become my go to as it still fits plenty in, but it leaves me hands free and plus it's a lot lighter too. Granted I still have to carry a shopper with me too, but I'm just loving this bag for Spring.

I also picked up these cute espadrilles from Matalan that were a total steal! They match perfectly with the bag, so I wanted to share with you one of the ways I'm styling these items for Spring.

January Favourites 2016 - Cleansers, Converse & Colouring!

January Favourites 2016
Happy 1st February guys, I cannot believe we are one month into 2016 already! January for me is always a month of new discoveries and with a good mix of Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle favourites, here's my round up of what I've been loving for the month of January. What have been some of your loves for your January?
Products mentioned:
1. Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara - I always see this pop up on my Pinterest feed as one of the best drugstore mascara's, so I thought I would finally give this a go and I certainly wasn't disappointed. This Lash Accelerator is wonderful at making my lashes look elongated and full. The brush is also long and thin, and is perfect for grabbing every lash to help lengthen and lift them.

2. Una Brennan Vitamin C Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil - Una Brennan is a brand I only discovered recently thanks to Vivianna Does Makeup. This Super Facialist line is a premium drugstore brand which stocks a wide variety of interesting skincare treats.

Last month I was in need of a new cleanser and thanks to Boots having a 1/3 off I thought I would take up the opportunity to try the Vitamin C Cleansing Oil. This oil is a dream to use as not only does it smell divine, it really does cleanse my skin well, with the added extra of removing my remaining make-up. I tend to use this in the evening as a first step cleaner, after I have removed the bulk of my make-up with either the Make Up Eraser or Micellar Water.

3. Pixi Glow Tonic Exfoliating Toner - You may have seen me already review this cult product here on the blog. This gentle glycolic toner has become a staple in my evening skincare routine and works beautifully at keeping my skin glowing and refined.

4. Make Up Eraser - The Make Up Eraser has become another holy grail essential within my evening routine. This fleecy cloth, removes every scrap of my make-up quickly and efficiently and is something I now can't live without!

5. Soap and Glory Breakfast Scrub - Previously I have always made my own body scrubs as I have never been able to find anything that could perform as well as this, until I discovered the Breakfast Scrub from Soap and Glory. This beautiful maple scented scrub works really well at removing my dead skin and leaving my body feeling smooth and silky. 

6. Converse in Black - I recently picked up my 2nd pair of Converse in black and again like my white ones I have been totally in love with these, as they are really versatile and easy to style.

7. River Island Fluffy Bobble Hats - Both of these fluffy hats have become my Winter wardrobe essentials as not only do they dress up an outfit, they also keep my head warm!

8. Orelia Three Hearts Necklace - This beautiful necklace from Orelia has been the only thing I have worn for the last month as it's pretty, dainty and compliments any outfit.

9. The Magical City Colouring Book - I've really been addicted to colouring in lately, as it's truly therapeutic and calming. It's also something I have been enjoying doing before I go to bed as it helps me wind down and clear my mind.

London Lights and Sunday Brunch | Style Diary #2

Having lived in London, I've defiantly become very fond of this colourful city. Some of my favourite past times include brunching in Spitafields market on a Sunday and wondering around the vibrant and iconic land marks of London. London for me is the city of colour, hidden treasures and endless inspiration.

I was inspired to come up with this paticular look to coincide with the Rimmel London Look Competition that I'm entering and thought I would share with you this look as it represents everything I love about London as a whole. What's your favourite thing you love about London?
As much as I adore my neutral shades during the week, at the weekends I love playing around with colour, especially on the eyes. My favourite combination is a bronze/gold teamed with a vibrant green to compliment my eye colour, so I thought I would re-create this look as it reminds me of the endless colours that light up London.
