Product Of The Month

Hi everybody!
And I hope you have enjoyed your first weekend of May !!!!
Today, I will rewind the clock back a little bit into April to discuss my favourite product of April.
My product of the month, or shall I say products of the month for April is actually the New Raspberry Range by The Body Shop.

I have done Product Of The Month blog posts for the last few months and all of the posts were featuring makeup products. I thought I would switch it up this time, although I do have my choice of favourite makeup items in April, and do skincare as it is quite different. Also, I am quite a big fan of skincare products myself.

It is definitely no surprise that I am absolutely in love with The Body Shop's products. I think my insane love for The Body Shop came from when I was still in my late teens, about 17 or 18 and working in one of The Body Shop outlets in town. It was one of my first, if not my first job that had anything to do with beauty which obviously sparked my interest.

Raspberry Range

• Raspberry Shower Gel (£4.00)
• Raspberry Body Butter (£13.00)
• Raspberry Eau de Toilette(£8.50)
• Raspberry Body Scrub (£12.50)
• Raspberry Lotion (£8.00)

I was lucky enough to be given the whole set of the Raspberry Range products to test it out and I must say I love each and every one of them. I think my favourite would have to be the Raspberry Body Butter but that is just my personal taste, and it might have something to do with my addiction to moisturise my skin all the time. I also find the Raspberry Body Scrub does a really nice job at exfoliating the skin and the texture is quite unique. The Early Harvest scent of the Raspberry Range is so beautiful and perfect for spring time as well. Its very fresh and quite light, not too overpowering but just perfect.

Raspberry Shower Gel
This soap free shower gel contains raspberries picked early in the season to preserve their freshness. It has a sweet seasonal scent.

Raspberry Body Butter
The rich and creamy body butter is this season's must-have for silky smooth skin. It contains raspberries picked early to preserve their freshness and Community Fair Trade shea butter.

Inspirational Fashion Godesses

Hi everybody!
For today's post, I thought I would bring up the topic of Fashion Icons, or as I like to call them, Fashion Goddesses. If you read a lot of my blog posts then you may be able to tell that I love sharing fashion ideas with all of you. This is because I find great interest in outfit ideas and new trends that comes out either on the runway, or just on the streets. Most of the outfit ideas that have been posted on this blog is mainly tumblr fashion found on the internet and I do take my own fashion ideas and incorporate them in my own wardrobe. As amazing and inspirational as tumblr fashion is, I find that a big part of my fashion inspiration comes from celebrities and fashion icons. Working in the fashion industry, I get asked a lot about my personal style. I must say, I never have a solid answer when it comes to my style or fashion sense as it changes all the time. I can walk out of the house today with ballet flats and a floral or lace dress and then put on a leather jacket with a smokey eye tomorrow. I have never tried to stick to one 'style' of clothing and what I wear varies with my surroundings, my mood and very often, the weather outside. Being in the industry, I am also very familiar with the trends that celebrities put on and the fashion that they can pull off.

My first fashion inspiration has got to be Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Like many, many, many other young girls out there, I look up to Kendall and Kylie so much and obviously dream to be anywhere near as successful and beautiful as they are. They usually comes out in very casual, easy fashion that I tend to follow. I find taking a few staple clothing pieces like a plain white crop top and some skinny black trousers with black ankle boots the perfect way to really pull off a Kendall and Kylie's style of dressing.

Next is Kate Middleton. This may come as a surprise but one of the things that I love about Kate Middleton's fashion is that she gets her clothes at the same places as most of the commoners in the UK. That makes it very easy to copy her style and fashion sense. I must say, I am way too lazy to come out looking as elegant as she does every single day. However, her classy fashion sense consisting of affordable fashion is definitely an inspiration to me and. No doubt there will always be days or events where you need to bring out the graceful elegance and lady-like royalty in you.

Another one of my favourites is one of the most respected person in the fashion industry, Rachel Zoe. I have looked up to Rachel Zoe since I was about 14 years old. If you are not familiar with her, she is one of the biggest if not the biggest fashion stylist from the US, not mentioning editor and designer as well. Styling red carpet beauties like Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway from head to toe in major gowns from major designers like Dior, Versace and Marchesa, I have loved RZ's work for as long as I can remember. I really love the chic elegance of a Parisian girl that she manages to pull off both in her styling and designing work as well as her own personal styles.

Last but definitely not the least is the one and only, Emma Roberts. I love her work in films and even more when I see her on the red carpet all dressed up and princess-like. Emma manages to pull of a really beautiful chic-elegant style of dressing mixed with a very comforting and cosy-like, easy fashion at the same time. I think over the years, she has matured and her style has matured beautifully and Emma has had a very smooth transition.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog post as I had a lot of fun writing it and sharing my personal likes and interests with you. Don't forget to comment below if you are as obsessed as I am with any of the fashion icons that I have listed above. Also do check out my other social media sties when you will get the chance, all my accounts will me listed below.

Have a great day all! Xx

Spring Fashion Trends 2014

Hi everybody!
I know that this post was supposed to be uploaded sooner than this and I do apologise if I have kept you waiting. To be completely honest, I have not touched my laptop in exactly one week ( not including a work laptop), and for me, that is an extreme amount of time. The usual excuse stands at having over piling work, very long hours and still trying to get a good night's sleep. I was considering to delete this post even though I have completed it last week as it is a long overdue blog post. However, I made a promise to upload it therefore I am doing it today and I hope you enjoy it and it will help some of you.

I hope you are all doing well and I hope you are very excited because spring is here. As we just started the spring season, I thought it would be nice to blog about spring trends. During fashion week of 2014, we saw many designers  not only bring out their own creativity but set trends for spring/summer 2014. Seeing the designers' clothings on the runway was exciting but the fun came looking at the attendees dressed in trendy street-style spring 2014 fashion. However, you can forget about the high end designer prices if you want to, as I have managed to get amazing, trendy spring fashion from stores like Topshop, Primark, H&M and New Look.

Reflective Aviators

Floral headbands

Statement jewellery

Logo tees and crop tops

Sheer fabrics

Embellished sandals

Skorts

Canvas backpacks

Artistic prints

If you are looking to change up your wardrobe slightly for the warmer months ahead then do check out a few of these staple pieces that I promise you, you will not regret buying. These are amazing for everyday outfits and music festivals. Speaking of which, do check out my blog post on the Coachella Music Festival 2014 spring looks to spot your favourite stars and celebrities in amazing spring fashion. If you are looking out for spring dresses looks then check out my Easter Sunday blog post. You can also find some sweet springtime treats there as well. Also, check out my other social media sites that I will list below when you get the chance.

Have a great day! Xx
