Purchases | Clarks SS15

So for those who don't know, I work at Clarks shoes. I've been there for over two years now and I absolutely love it. It has a stigma for being for children's school shoes or old lady shoes but I can honestly say they've really stepped up their game over the past five years. Collabs with the likes of Orla Kiely and Herschel they've really got it down. I'm forever being complimented on my shoes and when I tell them they're from Clarks, they're shocked. Here are my latest two pairs for SS15, I am in love.

Purchases | MAC Cinderella

I managed to bag myself the sold out MAC Cinderella lipstick in 'Free As A Butterfly' last week, a perfect shimmery nude along with MAC 'Pink Sensibles' quad eyeshadow. When I got an email I couldn't resist! Did you manage to get hold of the long anticipated collection?

Life | Whats In My Bag?

1. Handbag - H&M, 2. Marc by Marc Jacobs purse, 3. Soap & Glory Hand Food, 4. iPhone & Earphones, 5. Inhaler, 6. Compact Mirror, 7. Mac Lipstick, 8. Diary 9. Pen.

This trusty H&M I got for my birthday last year. I love the silver accents on the four corners of the bag making it a lot more stable than other side bags I've had in the past and I don't have to worry about the leather scuffing when I put it down. Its so soft and wide enough that it manages to fit in my big purse as well as all these other items which normally requires a bigger handbag, its great. I don't actually use my inhaler that much, if not at all but you can never be too sure (I am turning into my mother!). I also carry whatever lipstick I have decided to wear that day, today was Mac in the shade Rebel. It is always my 'go to' lipstick!

I always love knowing what other people hold in their bags, what are your essentials?

Beauty | Everyday Favourites: Drugstore Make Up

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

So here are my favourite 'go to' high street/drugstore products. Rimmel has always been a major product for me when I just started out with make up. Sleek eyebrow palette is the dupe to Benefits 'brow zing' which I swear by. I admit, this one isn't as hard wearing but still lasts a good 8 hour day. The sephora foundation is what I picked up whilst in Milan last November after loosing all my make up at the airport (don't ask!) Its such a great foundation and roughly about £15 a bottle. It has medium/light coverage and was perfect for that dewy look. Its the foundation I reach for when I'm not doing much with my day or just popping out for a few hours. Its really quick to apply and I'll be out of the house within 20 minutes.

Inspiration | Interior

images from Pinterest

I've always had a love from interior design, my mama always said she though I would be an interior designer when I was older because I was forever making cushion covers/curtains and even staying on after school sewing clubs. Sam and I have been looking at houses recently, with me graduating this summer and him already in full time work we definitely want to find a place of our own. We currently live with his parents whilst we save but I can't cope with the lack of wardrobe. I need one back in my life. Pinterest always inspires me, its so easy to get lost on Pinterest, especially whilst trying to avoid dissertation! I took these pictures off my interior board and it would seem I have a bit of an obsession with shelves.

Fashion | Favourite Shows at #mfw Fendi, No. 21 and Dolce and Gabbana

Fendi AW15

No. 21 AW15

Dolce and Gabbana

Although there have been many fashion weeks on already. Milan fashion week has always been my favourite week. I visited Milan last November with my girls from university. Its one of the most stunning places ever. Here are a few of my favourite shows over the last week. Milan does not disappoint. Karl does it again with his effortless style as he designs for Fendi. This oozes seventies chic, the combination of tan leather and A line shapes, are what fashion dreams are made of. 

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s collection at No. 21 is by far my new favourite, neutral colours, black and layering and I'm all about the layers, especially during the Autumn/Winter season.  The cropped jackets with the line of fur give it a sense of luxury and cosiness yet effortlessly stylish.

Lastly, my highlight of the week. Dolce and Gabbana with their show dedicated to all the mama's out their, their Viva la Mamma collection included actual babies and preggo mommas! Oh, and the clothes, the stunning floral patterns and classic shapes. If I look anything like these hot mama's when I have children I will be a happy women.
