An End of Another Year....

An end of another year, yes you heard me correctly. Can you believe it 2014 is nearly over? What a crazy year its been, its had its ups and down but mostly i have learned a lot from my little blog and other bloggers as well as personal things. 

I feel like this year, myself and my blog has really opened up into the bloggers community. I didn't realise how friendly and supporting other bloggers are and have been over the last year. The blogging community really is a great support foundation for bloggers wanting to venture into the Youtube world (i have been thinking about it myself) or just for a good old chat over fashion and beauty! 

Im honestly very proud of my little blog this year, i feel like i know where i am and what i want to do with my blog. I want to go down the more fashion routine with doing more outfits looks, hauls and how to style posts, theses are the ones I've most enjoyed this year and the ones i love doing all the prep for! Saying that i will still be doing the beauty side as well but it will hopefully be more fashion base. I really hope in the next year to grow and expand, honestly just see whats happens as like I've said before its my little happy place, somewhere to remove myself from the real world. 

Plans for 2015: like I've previously mentioned i would really just like to go more into doing more fashion posts, i want to stick to my little plan of uploading three times a week as i know i like to know when the people i read or watch upload! lTo just interact more with other bloggers and get a little deeper into the commintuty as i feel this year i have barely touched the sides. Mostly i just want to enjoy living every day as it comes and take me photos (as i got a fancy new camera for christmas ooooh yeah buddy)

One of the hightlights of this year was when i along with other fashion bloggers got ask to trail out a new fashion app called Styleicona back in the summer, this alone was a massive achievement for me. Just the fact the i was chosen to trail a fashion app like seriously!!! I absolutely love this app and has been properly one of my favourite app of this year. Not only was this a highlight but on the 10th October i was Styleicona of the Day for the app, this was just amazing!! 

I would just like to say a massive thank you for this year and everyone that has been reading my blog throughout the year. I hope you all have a lovely evening and a happy new year! I shall see you in the new year with a skin care post. For now on have a lovely night! 

Much Love

The Christmas Tag



As Christmas is literally a week away now I thought it would be fitting to do the Christmas Tag. I love everything and anything to do with Christmas from the advert calendars to the mince pies! 

Before we get into the tag I would just like to say a massive sorry for the lack of posts lately, this will hopefully pick up as we go into the new year - fingers crossed! 

Lets get on with the tag. Enjoy!!

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?
I love the good classic christmas films the ones we all watch as a family on christmas however my complete favourites are: Elf, Naivety and The Grinch. 

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
Christmas Morning for sure as early as possible - even though we aren't children anymore!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
Properly just everyone having a good time together, laughing, playing with new toys or games. Dad always being the last people to keep his hat on!

4. Favourite festive food?
Everything!!! I love the food at Christmas - Christmas Cake, mince pies, roast dinner - I could go on!

5. Favourite Christmas gift?
Getting a brand new camera when i was little and going around vlogging everyone and taking there photos whether they were happy about it or not!! 

6. Favourite Christmas scent?
For me its the smell of baking, whether that be the christmas cake or little festive cakes. When the kitchen smells like a bakery I know its nearly christmas. 

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Yes we do, ever since we were very little children we would always go and see our local Pantomime and then come home track Santa and see how late our parents would allow us to stay up! To this day we still do the same thing and I think we always will even when we have children ourselves. 

8. What tops your tree?

A very old and very drunken fairy - this year I think she is pretty straight hooray!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

Being the girlie girl I am and wanting to be a princess when I was little properly a horse or a castle! 10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
The best part of Christmas for me is how you can still feel and act like little children for that one day and really appreciated the things in life that we are able to enjoy and of course the food! 


I hope you enjoyed, I would love to tag everyone to do this tag (if you don't have a blog just leave the answers in the comments below) and let me know when you have done it as i would love to read them all. 

Merry Christmas 

Much Love

A Little Weekend Away | Longleat

Penguins, iceskating, coffee and christmas trees. Properly the best winter things that you can do in one day. Some of you may know if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter  that i spend a couple of days last week in Longleat with the family. This was the most cutest christmasy day: we went around the zoo and even got to walk through penguins!!!!! To finish the day we went ice skating in dust and saw a christmas tree singing christmas songs. This was the best way to start the count to Christmas - I honestly can't wait at all!!! 































I hope you enjoyed just some of the photos i took during the day. I would love to know what your favourite thing to do, to start the christmas count down?

Much Love
