The Oscars 2015 - My Top 8 Best Dressed

   The Oscars 2015 took place this weekend and although amidst the London Fashion Week frenzy, I will admit that I keep up with the Oscars more. While I'm not the most up to date with movie watching, I do love some red carpet fashion action. Although I will say that I'm really glad Eddie Redmayne definitely deserved Best Actor because he was incredible in The Theory of Everything. That being said, I also thought that that movie would've won more awards!   With luxurious pearly white gowns, neutral tones, statement necklaces and thigh high slits making a frequent occurrence this time round, I thought I would include my Top 8 Best Dressed - which were incredibly hard to narrow down to by the way...

The Ultimate Guide to eBay Shopping (Auctions)

  
I'm a massive fan of buying things on eBay and have built up quite a collection of my 'eBay bargains'. The two smock dresses from ASOS above were £7 each...that Motel skirt was a mere £2.50! Of course that's just a fraction of what I've bought from eBay! If you look hard enough, you can really find some amazing bargains that can give sales a run for their money - even for brands like Motel Rocks, Topshop, Missguided or Zara. Many assume that eBay equates to second-hand pre-worn items but that is definitely not the case! Some items listed are either brand new, or brand new without tags. Of course, with buying things online, it comes with a few risks. Since I've been buying things on eBay for quite a few years now, I thought I would share my top tips to make your eBay shopping an amazing experience...

Blogger Style Inspiration #1

  I'm thinking about starting this new feature on my blog that will occur every 2 weeks because sometimes, I come across an outfit on my blogroll that I just have to share.

I'm currently finding it so hard to narrow it down to just 5 but...here are my recent favourites...

Belated Primark Haul

  During these past few months, I have been to numerous Primark stores all over the country... I kid you not...I've been to the one in Coventry, London, Middlesbrough, Edinburgh...but I didn't spend that much though. I'm the kind that is perfectly content with just perusing the rails and 'window shopping' However, I did get a couple of 'essentials' and things in the Primark sale. Yes, the only thing that is better than Primark itself - Primark sales.

Valentine's Gift Guide for Him/Her: Against Commercialised Norm

With Valentine's Day coming up in about a week, you might be stuck as to what to give your significant other. I know I am. After being together for a couple of years, what do you do when it seems as if you've given them everything known to mankind? That's where creativity comes in... 

Surviving Winter: Essentials

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful and the fire radiator is so delightful..." 

Yes, I am aware that it's been well over a month since Christmas...but with this weather, I do find myself singing them festive songs. A couple of days ago, I shared the only 3 coats I needed for surviving winter (I know, can't believe I narrowed it down so much) and now, because I have the lowest tolerance of the cold, here are some things that I absolutely can't live without when the temperatures drops to the minuses or I will freeze my butt off...

5 senses: January

  Can you believe that the first month of 2015 is over?! Well I'm in shock.
