When Christmas became chic

So darlings, I have been absent for a few days whilst I relaxed, indulged and had a little 'me' time, but I am back. 

I may have been invisible when it comes to my posts but the work still continued and I have spent hours on end planning and creating as we prepare for Ooohlalaa it's fashion in 2015.

I hope your Christmas was as fabulous as mine and your gifts were everything you could dream of.
Here is a little insight into my Christmas week ...

Santa was good to me this year, because what girl doesn't like a little Christmas Chanel?

I spent time with friends and family and made sure my fashion game was on point at all times. 

Festive fashion is a favourite of mine, extra glam and exaggeration.

After working so hard this year I decided it was time to get myself a little Christmas present, a Michael Kors hounds tooth tote that I had my eyes on in Fenwicks french salon.

Trust me darlings it's not very often I treat myself to this level so you can imagine how in love I am with it.

Santa also left a Victoria Beckham shaped present under the tree, lets just say I have the perfect manicure to match my Lulu Guinness pouch! My friend Laura bought this darling gift and I have never been so grateful, Lulu has been on my wishlist forever, as you have seen during blogmas!

I thought I would share a fashion fix from my Christmas (I am not doing this to flaunt my presents, every fashionista gets excited when they are gifted with such luxury and I am so grateful), the candid pieces will come in time.

Watch this space lovelies ... because tomorrow's post is fabulous.

Blazers- The art of tailoring

Blazers are a wardrobe essential, any girl would agree but why?

 Perhaps you are having one of those days where you are feeling comfort over fabulous? Adding a blazer to your outfit not only smartens it but shows you're a complete fashionista all the time although your mood begs to differ.

 Tailoring provokes class and sophistication, success and seriousness which is why your wardrobe should be filled with them. 

This rule applies to every occasion. Imagine these outfits without a blazer ...

a little boring if you ask me! This proves that wearing the most simple outfit can be transformed by this key piece.

Smart casual- Think dinner party, first date or drinks

Holiday time! Travel essentials

Well girlies it's that time once more, time for a holiday! Everyone keeps saying, 'you've only just come back from Ibiza', but to me Ibiza feels a million miles away (not to mention relaxation did not come into play at all).

This time I am jetting off on a family holiday and lucky for me it's a 5*plus holiday in Turkey, I can already see how fabulous it is going to be. I will be blogging a little differently from Turkey. Although I will not be doing a holiday style diary I will be constantly updating you with all my doings!

The time is 22:50pm on the night before I go away and I have not packed which is extremely unlike me, most probably because Ibiza took it out of me. 

Here is a travel checklist of 9 items to make your journey, long or short, a little more glamorous and a little less tedious.

Indulge.

1.  'She's so Jetset' Benefit, £30

This is an absolute must buy! I am so in love with mine. A primer, range of four eye shadows, powder, blusher, lipgloss and mascara all come included in this set. This is your key to looking phenomenal as you step off the plane. Turn yourself into the Victoria Beckham's and Kate Middleton's of the world with crazy airport glamour (although they definitely have help doing this!)

All of these products are travel size and do not exceed your liquid limit.

2.  Earphones: Accessorize, £12

A necessity to block out the noisy background and indulge in your amazing travel playlist. Super stylish.

3.  Eye mask: Holistic Silk, £47

Such a worthwhile investment. You will fall asleep perfectly with one of these and avoid puffy eyes!

4.  Perfume tester

Smell gorgeous without exceeding the liquid limits. I usually take lots and lots of testers on holiday to avoid smashing bottles and I easily get bored of the same scent.

5.  Nail Polish: Nails Inc, £11

A bordem killer and it saves you rushing your mini mani when you have all that packing to do.

6. Face Wipes: Off your face, £4.50

 Feel fresh and look glowing. Essential for those ridiculously long flights as well as early mornings.

7. Tangle Teezer, £10

Have luscious flowing locks. Always.

8. Ipad case: Ted Baker, £49

It is so worth investing an ipad case. The Ted Baker ones are gorgeous and totally chic and can even substitute as a clutch. Michael Kors are equally as great!

9. A Jacket: Topshop, £55

You maybe jetting off somewhere hot and sunny but whilst you're in the air it is freezing. A jacket smartens your outfit up and you feel all the benefits.

Let me know your travel essentials darlings!
