Mani magic X Nails Inc. | Blogmas

The festive season paves the way for outrageous glam. If there was ever a time to get a little dramatic with your beauty routine you will now find yourself in the midst of it. A manicure can change an ensemble or a look. Whilst seeking my favourite shades that I have picked up over the years I was drawn to an array of Nails Inc. When it comes to your dream manicure there are no boundaries and these colours have not only accompanied me to weddings, vacays and nights out but they quite simply add a little personality into my everyday look. 
Quite simply put, they never fail me.
Priced around £12- £15, with the inclusion of both the Sparkle Like a Unicorn and Holographic duos, these polishes will not only last you for the year ahead but remain chip proof when paired with a top coat. Nails Inc. also offer a £5 a year VIP service in which 10% discount is applied to purchases made online.
Both It's all Elementary and Kings Road, a chrome and foil are subtle yet far from boring. In contrast Dream dust, Rocket fuel and Ghetto Galatic do more than what their name would suggest flourishing whilst under an array of lights. However it is Nail Kale that I find myself lusting after day after day, to say I have used this plenty during the AW17 season is something of an understatement. 
Shop these shades (left to right)Dream dust, (SHOP) It's all elementary (SHOP), Regent Mews (SHOP), Rocket Fuel (SHOP),  Kings Road (SHOP SIMILAR), Ghetto Galatic (SHOP)

Which is your favourite colour this coming party season?
If you are like me I rarely find time to go for a manicure but why do I need to when these awesome shades are literally at hand?
Be sure to let me know.

Go get them girl | Blogmas

So by no means can I call myself the best blogger this year. My posts have been few and timely so what happened? Life happened. It has been a crazy, unpredictable year that to say has kept me on my toes is an understatement. 

The festive season is here. Usually I can’t quite believe how quickly it has come around but this year it’s taken it’s time. Quite simply this year has been a drag, but it doesn’t mean we are going to finish it that way.

Welcome to blogmas my darlings! 
Over the next month I plan to show you an array of festive favourites, sacred style secrets, hot topics and all things quite simply fabulous. We always talk about just how care free those Summer frolics are but when, ‘love is quite literally all around us’, why can’t we make this festive season as equally sassy and show stopping?

Whether you work the festive season or are lucky enough to spend it with your loved ones, there is  a way to celebrate for everyone. Maybe it’s that office party that you have your eyes set on or you enjoy buying and wrapping gifts, as long as you remember to give as well as receive you will find peace with yourself. 

It’s time to get overrated, outrageous and outstandingly gorgeous as we count down the days to 2017. There is still time to change this year, lets place every effort into making it our best whether thats decorating ourselves head to toe in sequins, going that extra shade brighter with the bold red lip or staying out hours longer than you should.

Between the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show and the strike of midnight on the 31st, 
darlings it’s time to slay.

Victoria's Secret Haul | Blogmas

               

Its blogmas day 8 which 1. can you believe it? and 2. it is finally the air date of the Victoria's Secret fashion show 2015! This is one day that we really can describe as the sexiest day of the year with our favourite angels including Candice, Behati and Lily ready to dominate the runway. Victoria's Secret is sexy and sassy and over the years I have never kept it on the downplay that it remains one of my favourite brands of all time. Its flirtatious vision paired with the element is fun is all a woman can ask as she frolics her way through life- its all about her. The Victoria's Secret fashion show is less serious than the high fashion runways and mostly importantly the concentration remains on both the angels and models! With star performers such as Selena Gomez, Ed Razek has the attention of the world and quite rightly so. He gives us everything we can dream of! 


Whilst I don't live in a city that has a Victorias Secret store I make every effort to shop in one whenever I get the chance (I have even gone to a different city just for VS). Whilst none other store lives up to the London flagship on Old Bond street the quality of their products remain. It is hard to choose a favourite category when it comes to purchasing as beauty, lingerie, swimwear and fitness have all made their way into my wardrobe. 

                    

The UK Victorias Secret stores carry both the mainline brand and PINK! Whilst Victorias Secret it dominant and seductive, Pink is fun and feisty- I couldn't pick a favourite if I tried however there are particular items that I favour from both lines. 

                    

                    Whilst lingerie from either Victorias Secret or Pink is desirable when it comes to scent Pink is my go to. Whilst one Pink scent such as Warm and Cosy may smell of freesia and Peony, a Victorias Secret scent would often be the absolute opposite opting for something a little stronger such as Strawberries and Champagne. I find myself preferring the Pink range during the Summer and Victorias Secret when things get a little darker and deeper in the Winter months.


Victorias Secret cosmetics are often overlooked and there is no reason why. Whilst incredibly affordable Victorias Secret have an array of go to make up colours and shades and the perfect accessories to store them in. As well as cosmetic bags and pouches their own branded items such as sunglasses and phone cases are super chic.


Besides the Victorias Secret fashion show, Train like an Angel- the brands mantra when it comes to all things fitness, is my favourite aspect of Victorias Secret. Each year my bikini body regime starts from mid February through to my first vacation. With detailed fitness regimes and a set of real life guardian angels there to motivate you, you feel fabulous, fit and flawless- plus wearing their fitness range just makes working out that whole lot better.
                 

Lingerie in Victorias Secret is everything. Down to shape, texture and colour they carry every single piece you desire. I wouldn't dare shop anywhere else for it! 

Whilst swimwear maybe a wish list or perhaps a more indulgent purchase it is worthwhile. Swimwear is also another area that Victorias Secret flourishes in and after mastering lingerie of course its only right their swimwear fits to a tee. All swimwear is incredibly gorgeous and effortlessly sexy. This year I purchased a coral two piece with a halter top and frilled scalloped bottoms. This beach look was a favourite of mine.


Darlings, which are your favourite Victorias Secret products? There are simply too many to choose. Be sure to check out the hottest fashion show of the year. Our favourite Angels know how to slay and provide us with the best inspiration.

Call me crazy | Blogmas


You think that i'm teasing but I ain't go no reason ...
Okay disclaimer I started blogmas with a Beyonce lyric but its appropriateness was just too much to handle so of course it had to go in. I have been a little quieter than usual on social media and Ooohlalaa it's fashion, partially because the word busy can only be described as an understatement but more so as I have dedicated masses of time to Blogmas planning. I was in two minds whether to even do blogmas this year, not because I don't like it but instead because I want to deliver the highest quality original content possible and the pressure of twenty four days in a row can be a little overwhelming ... then I remembered fashion week. I've got this.


                                                                      

Over the next twenty four days I plan to bring you style tips, the highest of glam games and all things festive whether we are talking Christmas party dresses or home decor. Whilst Christmas is my busiest time of year it also brings out the best in people and the best of life- think fashion, food and lifestyle so why wouldn't I constantly want to talk about it? Whilst I consider myself more of a New Year lover than Christmas obsessed it is also the perfect period of reflection. What was the best thing that happened? What could have been better? What have I learnt?
It's time to talk.


Say hello to blogmas darlings
