UK Beauty Advent Calendars 2016

After attending the Marks & Spencer Advent Calendar event (blog post coming soon), all I’ve been thinking about are Christmas and beauty advent calendars! I really want to fast forward to December, so I can dig into the advent calendar I got from Marks & Spencer! To stop myself from spoiling the surprise, I’ve been looking at other exciting beauty advent calendars for 2016 to distract myself from obsessing over the one that’s currently sitting there waiting to be opened!   There are more than 30 different beauty advent calendars out there and I’m really impressed by the variety of options! I’m…

Building a Luxury Capsule Wardrobe: Accessories Edit

 I’ve been obsessing over luxury items lately and I’ve stopped shopping at high street stores so I can start saving up for a luxury capsule wardrobe! When it comes to building a luxury capsule wardrobe, it’s important to start with the accessories as every designer brand has a recognisable signature feature that’s often more noticeable on accessories than on clothes. For instance, the Michael Kors tag, the Burberry tartan pattern and the Louboutin red soles are all trademarked and unique to the brand.

Fashion Forward Flightwear

  Earlier this week, I wrote a blog post about my visit to the Dressed by Angels costume exhibition at the Old Truman Brewery.

BendTheRules – Exploring the World with HP

Earlier this week, I wrote a post about HP and their awesome laptops that combines style and power. I called the previous post: BendTheRules – Flying High with HP as it goes through how HP rises above other laptops in the market by synergising expressive colours and impressive power. Today’s post is fairly similar, but with slight more details on all the cool things you can do with the Pavilion laptop. As mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been sticking with HP laptops for as long as I can remember because of their technical aspects, mechanical stability and good looks. It’s…
