New in: Miu Miu MU52SS sunglasses

This post contains a gifted product/PR sample.

I have a soft spot for pretty designer sunglasses and I have quite a few pairs, but the latest addition to my collection is my favourite yet. I wasn't too sure if I would like this kind of frame, but I am a complete convert and I haven't taken the Miu Miu MU52SS* babies off my head since the day I got them.

A few of my current favourites (ad/gifted)

This post features gifted items (ad/gifted)

I've been very quiet lately, but as you might know, we have moved house recently and it's been very hectic. We're mostly settled now, but there's still plenty of bits and bobs we have to finish. I'm finding my rhythm and hopefully I can get back to my normal routine with the help of some Spring sunshine. I have neglected many areas of my life during the house move, but I'm trying to practice more self care and enjoy the little things. On that note... I would love to share a few things, which bring me joy at the moment.

New spring accessories, beauty & fragrance

(This post includes affiliate links, some of the products featured are PR samples which will be marked with *)

Spring is playing tricks on us and the rain is back somehow, but I am fully in Spring/Summer mode and I am enjoying more colour. I switched up my makeup too and I am using more corals and pinks and my skin is definitely ready to catch some rays and enjoy more sunshine!

Holiday Essentials

I was planning to blog about all my holiday must haves before or during our Summer break in France, but I was super busy packing and then I enjoyed myself soooo much at the villa, that I didn't even open my laptop. Best holiday ever! Now I am back, let me tell you what I packed with me, as many of you are probably going on holiday in August/September.

Our Christmas Eve traditions


Christmas is a magical time in our house. From decorations, festive scents and yummy food, to the atmosphere and little traditions I like to get the kids involved in. One of the most special parts of the celebrations for us is Christmas Eve, as the build up of excitement reaches it's peak level and the kids cannot wait to wake up the next day to find their presents under the tree.

Christmas Gift Guide: stocking fillers & more.

Only one more week till Christmas and here is my final Christmas gift guide! Perfect if you still have some shopping to do. All of these items are available instore and online so you can definitely get them in time. I must admit - I am only half way there with my xmas shopping and I am going to brave the shops on Monday to tick the remaining bits off my  list. 

Gift Guide For Her

This gift guide was definitely my favourite one to put together, as it features my current favourite fragrances, stunning jewellery, accessories and gift sets. I would consider all of these pieces quite luxurious, but I included options for budgets from £25 - £160.

Fashion: A touch of silver with new DW watches

I've been so obsessed with rose gold, that I ended up with a collection of watches in one colour. I realised that it was time to add some silver arm candy to my collection when I was looking for something  to match my rings and I only had one option. Daniel Wellington is my go to brand for watches and these beauties are my recent additions.

New from Daniel Wellington

If you've been a reader of my blog for a while, you will know how much I adore Daniel Wellington watches. They are simply stunning! The brand recently released some new designs, including the gorgeous Classic Petite Melrose and the latest addition - Classic Petite Bondi. I also have the beautiful Rose Gold Cuff to go with both of these beauties. Plus a 15% discount code of all DW products for you!

OOTD: Pink Jacket + Dream Prada Sunglasses

I am such a cliche, wearing pink on Valentine's Day, eh? Well... I bloody love this Lovedrobe Roll Sleeve Safari Jacket*(£40.00) and I just couldn't resist wearing it on V-Day! 

£12 Chloe Faye Dupe

I always carry a big bag with me, but I needed something smaller to take with me when I am out and about, so I had a little browse on ebay and I found this small Chloe Faye dupe for £12! I was worried it might be a complete waste of money, but it is absolutely gorgeous and I love it! After all, I just can't afford to fork out £930 on the real Chloe Faye at the moment, which is stunning by the way!

Classic Black Wrap Dress

Can we take a moment to acknowledge that our British Summer is officially over? Was that hot week back in May supposed to be it? I am wearing black tights, cardigans and ankle boots in July! Yep... We couldn't even take the photos yesterday after I got ready, as it was raining ALL DAY!  Are you wearing Autumn outfits too?

Ted Baker Layally Bag and my thoughts on designer pieces. Worth the splurge?

I featured my gorgeous Ted Baker Layally Bag in many outfit posts, but I wanted to review it separately and share my thoughts on designer bags and if I am happy with my purchase or if I regret it 2 years later. 

OOTD: Summer Vibes

With the sun making an appearance quite often these days, I am finally getting my wardrobe Summer ready and adding some lightweight and colourful pieces, like this stunning tunic by Johnny Was* from Navabi.

Spring Wardrobe Update

When it comes to fashion, I usually stick to what I know best, which means black, black and more black :) This Spring, I decided to add a little bit of colour to my wardrobe, inspired by my two favourite Spring trends - pastels and florals.

The perfect Christmas gift with Daniel Wellington

Watches are quite popular gifts during the Christmas season or for any occassion really. From chunky statement timepieces to simple and elegant designs, there is something for everyone. If you want to treat someone to a nice watch this year, but you're stuck for ideas, make sure to have a look at Daniel Wellington's new Dapper Collection, as it is absolutely gorgeous! They also offer gift wrapping for an extra luxe feel.

Opera Outfit (Carmen)

 My husband and I were kindly invited by Scottish Opera to see Carmen at Theatre Royal Glasgow last night and I thought I would show you what I wore for the occasion and tell you a little bit about the evening. I wasn't sure about the dress code, but I decided to go for something elegant, yet comfortable :) 

Frugi Breastfeeding Waterfall Cardigan Review

When it comes to breastfeeding, it is totally hassle free in regards of 'prep'. No bottles, no sterilising, no formula etc. It does require slight adjustments in the wardrobe department though, but thankfully you don't have to spend a fortune. Investing in a couple of good quality key pieces is all you need and this lovely waterfall cardigan by Frugi* (£55.00) is a great start.

Daniel Wellington His & Hers Watches + discount code

I featured Daniel Wellington watches on the blog a couple of times and me and my husband already have matching ones (see here), but none of them have silver hardware. That's why I opted for a classic black an silver design this time.

Fashion: Wooden JORD Dover Watch.

My evergrowing watch collection has a new member and it is possibly the most interesting design yet. It's the stunning JORD Dover Watch in Zebrawood & Cream* ($295). I just can't stop looking at it and I ordered a slightly bigger size to be able to share it with my husband (I always do this).
