The Autumn/Winer ZARA Wish-list.

It's like the designers at Zara know EXATLY how to tease me. I walk into the store and there's not one thing I wouldn't purchase. Would it be a crime to say I can't wait to get rugged up in my snug winter clothes?!

Holiday Help!?!?

Chow! I'm off to Italy in less than 12 hours! 

In such an excited and manic state of packing, I've gone into toiletry/hair/beauty overload. 

But where better to look your best that Rome?! RIGHT!

Skin Drink - Giving my skin all the hydration it needs and with a little sun safe SPF!

Sugar Scrub - My favorite Lush product at the moment… ( I just had too). 

NYC River Island Perfume - I'm Avoiding a heavy bottle, so grabbed some of this smells which smells totally amazing.   

Smash Box Primer Tester Set - Thought these were a great size for my 10 days away. I may have to treat myself to the bigger tubes when I'm back… we shall see!  

Secret Escape 2-in-1 Hair and Body Jojoba Oil - My absolute favourite summer product. This will be by the poolside with me everyday. 

Palmers Coca Butter - I'm sure you've seen these cute little bottles are all over the drugstores. I always keep one in my handbag and my holiday luggage is no exception. 

 TRESemme Heat Defence - My hair doesn't cope well without a heat protection. I highly recommend this miniature bottle from TRESemme. Its great at keeping hair moisturised and frizz free and isn't it cute?! 

 If you are heading off on your holidays then I hope your as excited as me. 

Anyone who's been to Italy/Rome has any tips and advise let me know?!

I'll see you in the Villa in Luca - Attempting to blog my 10 days!

June (Stolen) Favorites

I couldn't help but think this reminded me of being 7 years old again and sneaking into mum's make-up bag to 'borrow' her expensive blusher. Before scampering back to my room, I'd quickly place all the items back to there original places so she'd never know - I'm sure she did! 

Now, I'm home from University and diving into the bathroom cupboard to see what goodies I can find.  So here are my (stolen) June Favourites so far …

Laura Ashley, Imperial Bloom Body Lotion - This beautifully fragrant lotion with pomegranate extract (my favourite) is leaving my skin silky soft at the moment. Light, thin and perfect to hydrate skin while the summer weather is on its way. 

Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden, Hand Cream - Now that I'm back to work this velvety cream has worked a treat, taking care of my hands and nails. A new favourite brand I think!

Moroccan Oil, Intense Curl Cream -  I left this gem at home when I went to University and forgot just how great Moroccan Oil is! If you've used it you'll know - there is no turning back with any of the product from the brand. Rather than a salt spay this cream gives me great curls without drying my hair out too. No crusty curls, just great bounce and volume!

Vita Liberata, Tinted Self Tan Gel -  Purchase from Boots around the twenty-five pound mark this tan has been worth every penny. It's a perfect golden/brown in colour and I still haven't found a single streak. Applied with with the Solan Mitt this golden bronze glow lasts up to a week! Time to fake it not bake it this summer.

Di Paloma, White Grape - Stolen from my lovely mum (The Fragrance Queen) this perfume is GORGEOUS! Light and summer, its a refreshing break from my usual favourites. I love a change in perfume…. don't you?

L'Occitane Hibiscus Flower Hand Cream & Lip Balm -  I alway hear great reviews on L'Occitane products and these are no exception. Miniature size, these two products will defiantly stay in my handbag for the next few months. Summery packaging print & summery scent…. Gosh, I'm so excited summer has finally arrived - can you tell?

Hope you've enjoyed my first favourites post!

Best Bargain Buy

I've recently purchased the ASOS Collection  Molly T-Bar Shoes in white and I have to say, my best purchase in a long time! I wear them with anything and everything and I'm a little tempted to buy all three colours. (Right photo curtsy of ASOS.Com)

Baby Blue 

 H&M's Balconette Bras with matching briefs. So pretty in such a gorgeous baby blue... Don't you think?

Benefit 

Think if officially become a Benibabe. Once you've tried it you won't go back either. I don't go anywhere without these essentials. Especially my favourite….. the Erase Paste which might as well be a little pot of gold. Or maybe High Beam is my favourite? …. I can't choose!!

My Boy

I've had way too much fun over the Easter break with my lovely boy Tom. I'm happy to be back in Bath for my final term just wishing he was here too. 

Hope you've enjoyed my Bank Holiday 'B' updates.
