I am a huge fan of Pam Hogg. Everything about her designs scream that rebelliouness London fashion has been historically known for in the fashion week circles.
Last season, her autumn/winter was all about childhood tales gone a bit wrong and the story telling on the catwalk was just fantastic. Continue reading
Those who know me will know I really blog for myself. It’s something I love. But I suppose getting an award wouldn’t be so bad…
I would be forever grateful if you could nominate So Many Lovely Things for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2015 under the Best Beauty Blog (ambitious, I know).
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the followers, the comments, the interaction with people who share the same love as me, the fabulous brands that believe in me and in what I do.
And oh, the unique ability to inspire, even if one person out there, and to perhaps give them a little nudge to enhance their amazing selves… it is truly priceless.
But my blogging has a more selfish reason to be: me. My passion for beauty, style, fashion – and shoes – that is so huge that leaks out from my small person into these virtual pages.
Most importantly, it has given me comfort when I needed the most.
I never thought that, in claiming my little corner of the internet, I would be exposed to so many amazing things.
It has given me the chance to work with amazing brands, it has exposed me to a wealth of knowledge which is ever growing, backing up my love for the subjects. And the people… I met amazing people.
I feel extremely lucky, privileged and humbled. Oh, and eternally grateful.
However, I take an award wouldn’t go amiss, right? So please (I say again, just in case) nominate me for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2015 in the Best for Beauty category. It’s super quick, and you can do it by filling the form on their page.
You never know, I might even get shortlisted! Should I be, there will be a little post asking you (yes, I always ask too much) to vote for me.
And thank you. Not just for this, but for being here. There’s a lot of love going round.
“An object that embellishes the lips – the beacon of sensuality and organ of communication – has to be fairly amazing”. Well, isn’t it just?
If you know a little bit about me, you know I am not a country loving person. That is limited to not enjoying “long walks”, hiking and camping.
Have to admit that when I got Steamcream, I didn’t really know what it was about. I was really after the fabulous pretty tins it comes in.
Body scrubs are among my favourite body products. The feeling of that smooth to the touch skin is just too fab.
Yes, you read it right. I had the pleasure to blend my very own custom colour of the gorgeous MDMflow lipstick at the Bratz dolls launch event.
If it is ever allowed to maintain a relationship with, and keep loving, a Two Timer, this is the case. This NYX eyeliner is so handy yo wouldn’t believe.
Not long ago I attended the fabulous launch of this feisty new fragrance fro Ghost: Ghost Girl.
Starting with the packaging, it all scream girly fun. I love the colourful writing around it and the darker pink gives it an edge; this is feminine, but by no means sugary.
Its opening notes contain pomegranate, pear, raspberry and bergamot; the middle are orange blossom, tuberose and almond blossom on a base of amber and cedar wood notes.
It is fresh and not too sweet; it’s flowery-frutal, so very light and good for the summer. It develops and lasts quite well.
It’s aimed at girls and women in their teens and twenties, and I do feel it is bang on the audience. It a young and fun scent, with a decent price tag.
The contradictions between sweet florals and muskiness embodies the scent feisty spirit rather well.
For my personal taste, at first instance, it lacks a little bit of depth and warmth; this is how I like my fragrances; I’ve never been a fresh, fruity perfume person. The opening and base notes I really like.
Having said that, it is not something I would not wear. In fact, I’ve been using quite a lot, it is a reliable day scent and it grew on me to become my holiday pick for the beach!
And that’s me having all the fun at the launch party!
Ghost Girl is available in 30ml (£25), 50ml (£34) and 100ml (£46.50) and is available from retailers nationwide.
As you read this post I am getting to the end of my holidays. And I can tell you the Schwarzkopf Got2b Oil-licious Tame & Shine Styling Oil was an all-round lifesaver.
