Top summer sale style picks


Weather aside, it is actually summer.

I'm hoping any day now we will get the glorious sunshine and tropical heat we've been waiting for... 

But until then why not treat yourself to some top summer sales picks so at least when summer does arrive, your wardrobe will be ready ;-)

Spring wardrobe detox

 


It’s that time of year when the days get lighter, the temperature warmer and floral/nude shades make an appearance on the high-street once again.

Now is the perfect time to declutter, spring clean and start the new season fresh – and where better place to start than with your wardrobe?

Here’s some tips on what to do with those winter woolly jumpers and thick tights, and a few fresh spring styles to replace them with.

1. Declutter


-First up you need to make space. Set aside a few hours to go through your wardrobe and remove any clothes which won't be required in warmer weather, e.g: thick jumpers, big coats, thermals, etc, etc...

2. Storage vs donate


-Now the tricky part: to keep or not to keep? Is the item an investment piece/timeless classic/still wearable next winter? If the answer is no then get rid! The aim is to declutter so anything that no longer serves you should be donated to charity or gifted to a lucky friend.

                            

3. Replace


-Let the fun begin! Hopefully you've cleared plenty of space in your closet so now you can rediscover last season's stored favourites and of course... hit the high-street for a few new things to reward your hard work.

Happy New Year



It feels as though 2015 passed in the blink of an eye but on review a lot of great things happened and overall it was a pretty good year for me.

As always I am excited to wipe the slate clean and start the new year fresh and motivated. 
I'm not talking about the whole 'new year, new me' cliche, but starting as I mean to go on and continuing to improve, succeed and become a better person... and with any luck make 2016 my best year yet.

Here's to the new year and the start of a new chapter in everyone's life. 
Continue to grow and prosper, stay humble, work hard, be kind and achieve everything you've ever dreamed of.

Happy New Year!!

Hello December


'Tis the season to be jolly!

The month many of us have been waiting for all year has finally arrived and for once I'm actually on the ball and have finished my Christmas shopping.

November has been extremely busy and in between uni work and exam revision (boo!) I've managed to enjoy a few nights out which have included pizza, cocktails, a pamper evening at L'Occitane and a fabulous day spent shopping and visiting the Christmas market with two of my best friends.

All of the festive shopping has left me with a slightly-sorry looking bank account but it will all be worth it when I see the smiles on my friends and family's faces Christmas morning!

What have you been up to the last month? Are you excited for Christmas?
