A mini splurge

For as long as I can remember I have been a huge fan of all things mulberry. There such an iconic English brand, simple in detail but still have that wow factor.

Like all girls I'm obsessed with bags and am always searching for my holy grail crook of the arm winner. Haha.

I always thought the Bayswater was the big girls bag and not for me, I turned my attention to the alexa until I saw them in person that is.

I knew the alexa was a splody leather but I never imagined it to feel the way it did. From a distance it looks gorgeous, structured with a quirky twist. But as soon as I touched it I was turned off. It's just too soft, so soft that it feels cheap to me. I wish it came in the same leather as the Bayswater.

After my disappointment I shuffled on round the shop and lifted the big girls bag off the shelf. Wow wow wow instant love.

The saving began and the rest is history.

Meet by beautiful arm candy :)











Mulberry are celebrating their 40th anniversary hence the big 40.






The bag is so deep inside and can be let out at the sides to make it even bigger.






Feeble attempt at a half body pose.

Your feet smell like sweets...

I have been searching high and low since April for the perfect summer pumps. I wanted an open toe pump in a colour that would blend in with whatever I was wearing.

Easy task some may say, I say it was flipping hard work. I'd almost given up till I spotted these beauties. Below I present my sweet smelling shoes.










I love when shoes have rings inside, it makes them all the more special.




The little crown on the side of the shoe is so cute.



Here they are on. I love them so much!!!

Chanel bronze universal

My latest love....



After watching a video by the lovely HRH collection I decided to splurge out and purchase the gorgeous bronzer above!





When I first opened it I thought it was very hard to get out of the tub. It's not a product u can apply by hand, or in a rush. I find that my mac stipling brush is the easiest to apply this product with.





As you can see from the pic above it's the perfect bronze colour.



Pros

It's a creamy formula so it applies easily and blends well

Looks great on all skin tones

The tub makes the product really easy to get out and handy for travelling as its not messy

Cons

Slightly pricy

A little goes a long way and the colour darkens when on the skin so be careful

Updated skin care routine

I'm constantly changing my skin care routine and trying new products. Mainly choosing products based on other peoples recommendations as opposed to whats good for my skin type.

I have great skin, I really can't complain as I never get spots and my skin doesn't get irritated easily. The one thing that's always bothered me is my dry t-zone!

Thankfully that's all changed with these miraculous little beauties below.

This is my go to facial cleanser it's amazing I seriously can't say enough good things about it. I use cotton pads to remove my makeup. I dampen them and keep them in a sandwich bag so they don't dry out.

The cleanser is a milky formula, and 4 pumps removes all the makeup from my face.


My lovely fiancé bought me this 2 months ago. It's a very strong cleanser so I only use this once a week. It leaves my skin feeling super clean and refreshed.



Finally the most amazing moisturiser I have ever tried. It's basically a drink for your face. Whenever my skin is feeling tight and dry I slap this on and wow it works wonders. I highly recommend this. It's a gel formula and sinks straight into the skin. I bought mine on debenhams for £30 which i think is great value compared to other brands which don't deliver the same results.

Chanel on my lips

Walking through House of Fraser I spotted the new Chanel poster boasting the gorgeous coco rouge shine. I immediately went over and asked to try the exact shade that was used on the poster.


The MA lined my lips with lilirose lipdefiner and then used the gorgeous coco rouge shine in boy on top.














Whenever I looked in the mirror I thought it really made my eyes pop and would be a great combo for my wedding. Boy is sheer on it's own but I see that as a bonus as I can apply it without a mirror and know I won't look like a clown!

Lelliemoi jewellery

So I thought I would show everyone one of my latest hobbies. I love buying fashion jewellery but hate the price tag that comes along with it so I decided to make my own!









This is my latest piece entitled 'A vintage royal'








I buy all my chain and charms off etsy. I find them to be of great quality and value. Once I have made enough pieces to start a collection I will open a etsy store!

Hope you like it.

Taking care of my locks!

I have been seeing Moroccan hair oil in a lot of magazines recently, and was happy when I went to get my hair done over christmas and my hairdresser used it on me!

At £30 a bottle this stuff isn't cheap, however, you only need to used a tiny amount to see big results. I usually brush through my hair then take no more than a 5p amount of oil and work it through starting at the ends.




I got the 100ml bottle and think it should last a very long time. I can see it helping my hair already. My hair is shiny, thick and in great condition.
