Winter nights........

Winter nights............

Hi Everyone ,

So I hadn't been on a night out in what feels like forever so saturday I got myself dolled up and hit the tiles with thoughts of tomorrow's dreaded hangover plaguing my thoughts before Id left the house. I just can't handle it anymore getting to old.

My white off the shoulder dress is from misguided another steal at £15.00 I loved this dress!! enough for the wow factor but was so cosy!!! I teamed this with my black shoe boots also from misguided at £29.99 and my primark necklace. The shoes where really high I didn't think I'd last the night but they where so comfy....bonus 😃 thoughts of my hangover went out the window as I knocked back way to many jägerbombs how I managed to still be standing at the end of the night I don't know.

People are always asking how I get so much volume in my bob. I just use John friedas voluminzing shampoo, conditioner and spray and blow dry with a big round brush, just a cheapy from bodycare... put in my sleeping rollers while I do my make up and faf about, blast with hairdryer on full heat while they are in, take out, bit of back comb and hairspray and wallah :-) I try not to use to much though because I like my hair to move :) 

Makeup : mac studio fix 25

               Mac deeplove lipstick 

                Mac gold deposit 

                Mac precision slick eyeliner 

  

I needed to show you guys these shoes more my new favs!!! Peeptoe with a tie up back, lazer cut and most of all the comfiest ever for their height!!! 

And of course no outfit is complete without my little black clutch ...... Monochrome :)

Much Love

our last night in malta

My last night in maltas outfit was my little boohoo camel colured combo pencil skirt and cropped strappy top and it matched my deep love mac lipstick perfectly :) I wore it with my primark necklace (you cant really see so much so iv snapped it separate for you guys to) this was also a steal just a couple of pounds and it can be worn all together or as 3 separate  parts and my old faithfuls again from dp,s.

 The outfit came in at £25.00 another bargain!!
The night started off we me throwing a bit of a wobbler :/ why is it no one else can take good photographs? honestly when I snap other people I turn into a professional photographer, get them in the perfect light and angle and produce a damn good pic.......when i ask people to take pics of me que bluryness, dull lighting and me looking like a right twit! 

so thats why you see a lot of mirror pics i still look like a twit but at least I get the lighting right and show my outfits properly :) After my wobbler we went out in search of an indian that we didnt find after strolling around the streets for a good hour and after some maltese escort with the sex appeal of a peanut (i kid you not)  kindly trying to pick up my fiance!! while i was busy snapping away a good bit behind like usual. The minute she spotted me speeding up behind she backed off like a bullet haha these people!!  I actually found it funny and was tempted to go back up and ask what it is she was offering......the obvious....sex or entry to one of the 15 stripclubs that we where surround by on st julians main strip....... but still i'm strangly intrigued by these people I always want to know about there job, if they actually like what they do or if one day they hope to be rescued like Julia Robert's in pretty woman!! Fav film!

Anyway we ended up in some nice little backstreet restaurant that had a real local feel to it. These places are my fav, the staff where so nice with us and the food was really tasty! Even though i only ate pasta and tomatoes in some kind of tomato sauce ...I really need to figure out how to eat more protein on this veggie diet. Having an absolute carb fest every time I eat is going to pile on the pounds in no time anyway a few beers left me as usual waffling  away much to andys delight honestly i never shut up...... I think i can be a bit much sometimes for him......he says im weird.....but all the best people are aren't they ? or is that crazy..... to be honest i'm both anyway so it doesnt really matter :D.

    Restaurant: The Avenue 

    Vegetarian spring roles

    Veggie main :) 

well i,l post this later for you guys because i'm currently around 30,000 feet up im the air on the journey back from malta to manchester and these things don't have wifi....something i'v heard that they are meant to be getting sometime in the future....along with kids play corners!! a saviour for parents as you guys who have flown with your kids will know how hard and stressfull these trips can get!! and little booths where you can pretty much lie down actually can't wait! speaking of kids Can't wait to see my little man missed him soooo much :( going to take a nap now so I can save my energy for when I get my little whirlwind my back :)

Much Love,

Clinique freebies

Hi everyone

Ok so I just remembered this great offer I got the other week from Clinique and wanted to share it with you guys before the offer runs out. Iv always hated my skin ever since I was a teenager and it started to break out on me!! iv always battled with it sometimes going threw stages of full blown acne my last acne attack was quite recent and what made me turn to Clinique anti blemish solutions! I don't know about you guys but acne completely knocks my confidence, I don't want to go out and feel like everyone stares at me!! especially in my job where i'm face to face with customers all day!! I even had one woman say this to me when I went on the hunt for a new product her exact words where "you should go see a doctor you don't want your face looking like that especially when you work with the public all day" charming right!! I mean she was only being honest but she could of put it a bit different and I still walked away gutted. 

But then I found Clinique anti blemish normally nothing works but I never give up hope so I decided to get the little set of this for £25.00 and honestly I could see the difference within a week. It's a cleanse tone and moisturise set and im guessing from the smell of the toner it can be a little hard on your skin but at the min it's working so intend to use it for a few months as I'm still getting the odd break out but nothing like the full blown acne I had a month ago!!! 

I went back into Clinique to buy the bigger set which came in at £56.00 but you get a lot more obviously and if you sign up to ️There beauty  card you for  free you get ten pounds worth of beauty points credited making it more like £46.00 annnnnnddddd you get a lush free set so honestly when you work it all out your getting it for next to nothing I also had a ten pound voucher to put towards so it actually felt like nothing :) I was so excited when I left the shop with my new goodies.

So not everything is on here as I have left my free eye  makeup remover  that I also got at home but as you can see you get a ️cute little makeup bag, mascara, a tub of moisture surge, pink Clinique lipstick and gorge pink duo Clinique eyeshadow that I love and it's the only eyeshadow iv used since I got it!!! And I nearly forgot you also get a big bottle of body moisture lotion that I also left at home gutted because I could of done with that here on hol!! But honestly if the fact that this anti blemish set works wonders on spots isn't enough the freebies definatley are!!! 

The cleanser is a foam wash removes all traces of makeup and feels amazing on your skin!! 

The toner (as you can see I use this a little to much) smells a bit strong and I'm guessing it can't be so good for your skin but whatever is in it this is the stuff that is ️definatley combating the spots the most!!! 

And the moisturiser the moisturiser feels and smells amazing it can seem a little oily but it makes me look refreshed and sinks into my skin in no time :) 

Freebies :-) 

And the ️cute little free makeup bag you also get what's not to love :-) 

Much love

hilton prague

Hi guys, 

So I'm sat here missing my little boy like crazy and remembering the last time we stayed at a Hilton hotel Last winter at thePrague  European poker tournament. Lucas came with us that time so I'm going to add a post about Prague with him in to  make me feel a bit better :D 

Prague was freezing but sunny so picturesque and the Christmas markets where beautiful. Me & Lucas spent the days wandering around the unique town and visiting landmarks watching the street shows, the singers and music players and sadly the homeless that seemed to be on every street you turned.  But it is such a Beautiful place even if you can't  really go outside without wearing at least 15 layers!! 

St Charles bridge Prague 

Someone's being cheeky 

Lucas 

Head to toe in next.

I am guilty of spending a bomb on next clothes but I love it!! They always have such cute stuff and to be fair he does get his wear out of them this red bomber he never had off and it still fits him now a year later (£15.00)  & He,s cute little brown shoes that came in at £20.00 lasted forever to!  The hat, scarf and glove set was the cutest but that didn't last so long all lost within a few months he has a just as cute one now though :) For getting around I just took a standard cheap buggie from Argos. No way I was risking taking the much loved Stokke on a plane! The buggy was ok but didn't recline something I struggled with when Lucas wanted to nap.  

Me 

Coat: electric pearl boutique £25.00

Hat: Topshop £14.00 

Boots : river island £65.00  

The bridge at night 

Christmas markets from the top of the tower you have to pay to get up here but the view is worth it you can see right across the city. 

My little wanderer @ the hilton prague ️xxx 

No trip is quite complete without a mummy, son selfie :D 

 

Old khaki

On the subject of khaki here's a quick post with another khaki colour dress this was took at the end of summer....just before the dreary nights came rolling in and when I'd just had my hair cut to its shortest yet....I think this colour is actually my all time favourite ever I would wear it day in day out if I could khaki the new black 

Dress misguided £25.00

Shoes: dp £20.00 the old faithfuls again 

Black bag: stolen off a friend again (sorry Naomi) 

Moon child 🌚

I'm such a look at the moon person and tonight it's out in full I tried to get some photos in the moonlight but they came out awful! I really need to invest in this camera sooner rather than later. So for this post I'm using the other nights pics I love the dark gothic trend. lipsticks in dark autumn shades and the khaki & purple colours in clothes. I teamed my slinky khaki backless Topshop dress with some gorge primark jewellery £3.00 for the necklace 😃and I think it was £2 for the Grecian bangle that I love!!!! cheaper than a mocha choco latte down at starbucks! I love this look and this colour is my fav of the season :)

   Forgot to put my necklace on on this one but it shows the dress off the best 

 Khaki dress .... Rare at Topshop £40.00 

Jewellery .... Primark 

Lipstick.... Mac deep love 

Lashes .....eye lure in 145 

Black Shoes....Dorothy Perkins a steel at £20.00 

my old faithfuls they literally go with anything and are so comfy!!!! Even at 3am in the morning after a night on the tiles 😃

So below is possibly the worse quality pic I will ever upload to my blog I will for future try be more professional :D but I just wanted to show the moon (not that you can see it much here) and how nice the hotel looks at night plus I am wearing the purple colour I mentioned earlier in my fav maxi dress ️iv had this a while now and it comes on every hol with me its so comfy yet enough to make a statement with the gorge colour long slit up the side and strappy back I will give this dress more justice in another post x 

    Dress miss selfridge £20.00 

    And dinner tonight by the gorgeous harbour I wish my pics could show how gorgeous the moon looked tonight x

Favourite swimsuit

My favourite swimsuit I love love love this and it's a good job I do because the rest of my Holiday wardrobe didn't arrive on time!!! Last time I order last minute!! but luckily Id bought this little number a few months back from Topshop :) I love the print, I love the cut, the colours and I am loving one pieces at the minute. I'm normally a bikini girl but I think I have found a new love with these they just look more classy and you don't have to worry about any lumps and bumps :D anyway here's the few pics I managed to get my fiancé to take before he left me for poker :)

So I would of normally worn black sandals with this swimsuit but seeing as my last minute order never came I brought a pair of old black ones that so kindly fell apart while I was wearing them seriously does this just happen to me??? So I had to go with the only other pair I had.... white.... but the photo is about the swimsuit and the background obviously so can you just turn a blind eye to those  :)

As you can see black sandals before they fell apart :)

Swimsuit: Topshop £28.00 

Black sandals: I don't think we need to know.

White sandals: stolen off a friend (sorry Sarah) 

Much love
