Tuesday Chats: It's the little things!

Tuesday Chats: It's the little things! - Today I am sharing 30 things that make me smile or just make me happy in general other than my family, Arnie and friends. Just the little things, you know!

Today’s post is short and sweet mainly because the post I was going to talk about will be next week. There was some extra bits I wanted to include but haven’t happened yet so I said I would hold off and post it all together.

Instead today I am sharing 30 things that make me smile or just make me happy in general other than my family, Arnie and friends. Just the little things, you know! Now,…

#OOTD - Jan 20 - 26th

#OOTD – Jan 20 – 26th

Welcome back and Happy Monday! As last week, I have posted my weekly outfits with links below. You will notice, I really do re-wear a lot of clothes I have had for some time and just mix in new bits when I have them. It’s so important not to feel like you need to constantly buy new things. Always take a look at what you have and see where it can be used in numerous outfit choices.

STYLE: My Fashion Inspiration

STYLE: My Fashion Inspiration now it's not my normal Thursday shopping post, but sometimes we just need to take a look at what we already have and start wearing those pieces again.

Quite often I am asked where or who gives me inspiration for my wardrobe and truth be told it definitely changes and I dress a lot based on mood. However, saying that for years there are a few ladies who’s style has always influenced me. I just think more often then not, they get it right and it’s not that I want to dress the exact same but they give me ideas on how I can use what I have already…

TUESDAY CHATS: Is it because i'm getting older?

Anyone who knows me will know, I absolutely love the fashion industry and love to see new trends coming through, old trends re-vamped but I am also not a fan of a lot of trends. This leads me to today's topic.

Today’s Tuesday Chat is a little bit different from previous. As I have said before I will still sometimes take a look back on my previous week, what I’m reading, what I got up to etc. but I also wanted to talk about other things that are on my mind and I really enjoy having discussions about. Anyone who knows me will know, I absolutely love the fashion industry and love to see new trends coming…

January. The first week over. Back in England and well here’s how it’s been…

When I wrote last week’s post, I was in a really positive mindset and was itching to just keep soaring along on a high, but I swear after a couple of days, my mood slightly slipped and I just felt, blahhhhhhhhh. I am well aware that’s not really a descriptive feeling, but you know when you feel in a mood but you’re…

#OOTW - Outfits Of The Week (6-12 Jan)

I don't always share each outfit I'm wearing on Instagram. So i thought a way of letting you see my styling choices each day is to post a weekly round up of my outfits here. That way you can see how I re-wear items each week.

I don’t always share each outfit I’m wearing on Instagram. Sometimes I find other pictures I want to share that day or sometimes I might forget! So i thought a way of letting you see my styling choices each day is to post a weekly round up of my outfits here. That way you can see how I re-wear items each week and different ways I like to style pieces.

Just a note: I will always link either…

SAVVY SHOPPING: TWO COLOURS TO START YOUR SPRING WARDROBE

SAVVY SHOPPING: TWO COLOURS TO START YOUR SPRING WARDROBE - Today I have picked out two colours I think you could easily look out for that you could add to your wardrobe and not feel stuck as to how to pair them with other pieces.

Soon enough we will be seeing less and less winter stock on the rails and we will be met with a sea of Spring/Summer ranges. It can be difficult to know what you should buy that you will give you the longevity you need. I for one like to know I will get my cost per wear out of what I buy. Today I have picked out two colours I think you could easily look out for that you could add to your wardrobe…

TUESDAY CHATS: 2019 My Look Back & The 2020 Vision. Today I am having a full recap on my 2019 year with a full ideas fro this coming year too! Hope you enjoy. X

I can’t say I had the worst 2019 but I didn’t always feel like it was the best year either. Like most people, some weeks I wanted the world to stop so I could catch my breath, other weeks I was living my best life. That’s life I suppose and you just gotta ride the wave as they say. From looking back through photos though I don’t think I fully appreciated all the good times I had this year. I…

George @ASDA - My Winter Coat Selection

The high street is always flooded with beautiful coats every year, but sometimes I think we over look what's under our noses as we do our weekly shop.

The high street is always flooded with beautiful coats every year, but sometimes I think we over look what’s under our noses as we do our weekly shop. It’s no secret to you all that I enjoy a good fashion haul from supermarkets. I think they are massively underrated and can hold them little gems you just NEED for your wardrobe. As a weekly Asda visitor, I start my shopping down in the clothing…

TUESDAY CHATS: I need a Ryanair loyalty card!

Back from Ireland, again! Just another flying visit for my nephew, Jamie’s christening. It’s never long enough but at least I get to go often. I do mean it when I say I should have some sort of Ryanair loyalty card though, how have they not set this up for us frequent flyers. Flying miles need to be a thing for them, right? Anyway, there not, sooo…. c’est la vie!

TUESDAY CHATS: It's been a minute!

TUESDAY CHATS: It's been a minute! It's been a couple of weeks since I chatted about what I've been up to, but i'm back today to bring you up to speed!

It’s been a couple of weeks (give of take a month!) since I chatted about what I’ve been up to. Not that I am ignoring you all, but I haven’t been doing much and honestly my life content wasn’t worth writing about. So I have gathered up a few weeks of what I’ve been doing and here I am, back to share:
