I have a weakness for Zara bags. They are the first thing I search for when I visit Zara online (second is coats) & I'm always left lusting after at least two after a quick page browse. Everything about them is always so spot on - the quality, style, colour, size & price. I'd say they are the <b>best </b>affordable bags on the high street. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Mini City bag with zips is the newest addition to my Zara bag family. I ordered it online Wednesday night & it arrived yesterday morning - Zara always has such quick delivery & brilliant customer service. I got it in light pink (I call it dusty pink) & I also spotted it in red & light blue. This little beauty definitely looks more expensive than it's £39.99 price tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thought the light, powdery colour was gorgeous for Spring/Summer but I can see myself using this all year round as it makes a change to my other darker bags. The size is perfect for all my daily essentials comprising of three zip pockets (the small one at the front is an ideal size for a phone), a middle compartment with three different size pockets, & a detachable shoulder strap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This beautiful bag will certainly be getting a lot of use over the next few months & already had its first outing today . . . </div>

FYI my absolute DREAM would be for Zara to do a collaboration (think along the lines of the H&M designer ones) but focus <b>only</b> on bags with the one & only . . . Chanel. Think about it - Chanel + Zara + bags + affordable prices = a very happy me, plus hundreds of others who would appreciate these creations. Seriously it's a collaboration waiting to happen. <i>In my dreams . . . </i></div>

My favourite from the red carpet this year was definitely Lupita Nyong'o. She didn't put a foot wrong with a rainbow of beautiful dresses and her custom made (!) Prada dress she was to the Oscars on Sunday was perfection. I love how she called the colour 'Nairobi blue'.<br />

<br />
<img alt="Rebecca Minkoff" height="400" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/c6/b0/71/c6b071cf3dc9dec7a27aebbec73c55b3.jpg" width="378" /><br />
<img src="webkit-fake-url://5EC43366-D7FF-4034-AE44-4DB5E80DEF6A/imagejpeg" /><br />
1. Rebecca Minkoff Jules Cross Body Bag from Shopbop<br />
I've been browsing the Rebecca Minkoff bag section on Shopbop <i>a lot </i>over the past couple of months waiting for the Mini Moto to come back in stock. When I saw this little gem added to the already beautiful bag filled pages I was won over. I'm also lusting after one of the Mason wallets. I think an RM purchase will be made. <i>Watch this space. . . </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<img alt="kiwi blueberry mojitos" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/9c/29/7c/9c297c076d1ca28678c74d61e62cb5c6.jpg" width="425" /><br />
2. Kiwi Blueberry Mojito.<br />
I love the original mojitos (my <i>favourite</i> alcoholic beverage) & I'm always keen to try variations on this classic. Strawberry mojitos will forever remind me of Ibiza. I'd never heard of this combination before but it sounds goood. The picture alone is mouthwatering. Roll on summertime!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Future living room! Cozy with plenty of cushions" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/74/2d/36/742d36e6bb047a68f2c154f32525a0f9.jpg" width="425" /><br />
3. Interior beauty.<br />
Now this is my dream living room. Candles, flowers, pretty lights, neutral colour palette & cushions. LOTS of cushions. It looks so beautiful & cosy. Major home inspiration!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Gorgeous bathroom" src="http://media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/736x/e7/67/25/e76725482e55515fb49c37107dc120e4.jpg" /><br />
4. More interior beauty.<br />
This bathroom...just wow! That cabinet is stunning, I have a feeling it was once an antique wardrobe. To just have a bathroom big enough for it would be amazing. Again, major home inspiration (for when I have my own house).<br />
<br />
<img alt="Just perfect" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/23/06/f8/2306f8f1023e28d0f26004b08f8cf0f8.jpg" /><br />
5. The Beach Life<br />
This looks perfect. Can I be there right now please? . . .<br />

<br />
I heart skincare. I have for over 10 years & my love is still going strong. So every month when it comes to pay day I usually have a little list of items just waiting to be added to my basket. These range from the basics (cotton face pads, face wipes etc), daily essentials (new moisturiser, cleanser, basically repurchases etc) and any new item I've had my eye on, researched and decided I want to give a go<br />
<br />
On my February re-purchase list - Bioderma Hydrabio and the Origins Ginzing energy-boosting moisturizer. I first saw this bottle of Bioderma on Glamour magazine's Beauty Director Alessandra Steinherr's instagram, which she claimed was better than the famous red topped one. I completely agree! After reading the hype around the original Biroderma I purchased a bottle from <a href="http://www.escentual.com/" target="_blank">Escentual</a> but wasn't overwhelmed by it. I found the cleansing water made my skin feel quite uncomfortable immediately after use and it didn't seem ideal for my sometimes sensitive and dry prone skin. However, the blue topped version is very gentle on my face and eye area leaving my skin feeling moisturized, instead of tight, before going ahead with my evening cleanse.<br />
<br />
Origins is one of my favourite skincare brands and the Ginzing moisturiser has been my go to day cream since last summer after it launched. It's lightweight with a slightly gel-like texture and is super hydrating and refreshing. This is helped by the fact it feels cooling on the skin and has a gorgeous citrus, fresh scent. Used with the Ginzing eye cream, my skin seems to be loving these radiance boosting treats.<br />
<br />
My 'new item' purchase is the Indeed Labs Hydraluron serum which I first read about on Caroline Hiron's <a href="http://www.carolinehirons.com/2012/08/hall-of-fame-hydraluron.html" target="_blank">blog</a> last year. It's a moisture boosting serum packed with hyaluronic acid which claims to significantly increase skin's hydration levels and ability to retain moisture. Over time it's meant to reduce the amount of topical moisturisers needed to maintain skin hydration (which means you use less of what you put on top of this serum). There is a lot of science behind this product and anything you really need to know about it is on Caroline's blog - she sums it up perfectly. Having only used this serum for a short amount of time (1 week so far) means I can't give a fair opinion on it yet but I have noticed my skin feeling significantly softer after using this post toner and pre-moisturiser in the mornings. Everything seems a lot smoother. Time will tell with this one but so far I'm impressed!<br />
<br />
What's next on my 'new item' list? The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum in Oil which promises to replenish and recharge skin with moisture overnight. It sounds right up my street and it's only £12! <i>I'm sold. </i><br />

Having the app on my phone makes me browse through boards almost every day! I find it so inspiring and thought I would share my favorite pins from the month of January (This post is a little late I know, I'm still getting in the swing of blogging regularly again!).<br />

<img alt="Dubrovnik, Croatia" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4c/47/0e/4c470e0f7dd0ba7eee3943519eac93f7.jpg" height="640" width="459" /><br />
<br />
1. Dubrovnik, Croatia<br />
Flights & hotel are booked to visit this beautiful & intriguing city in June with my friend Sophie. Last year Ibiza, this year we chose a city with a bit of everything. To say I'm excited is an understatement...I literally can't wait! Plus Game of Thrones is filmed here (it's Kings Landing!) which makes it even more appealing! <i>Hurry up June 14th</i> . .<br />
<br />
<img alt="Olivia Pope Ferragamo coat. This is truly a beautiful coat!" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/94/ac/25/94ac254e11bb1911e4afdaf4c7aa3df9.jpg" width="379" /><br />
<br />
2. It's safe to say that throughout January I was obsessed with Scandal. <i>Obsessed. </i>I got through the first 3 series very quickly and I've literally told everyone I know about it! It's a show that keeps you completely hooked in every episode, the acting is great and Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington, who is just amazing & my new favourite actress) wardrobe is stunning!! <i>That </i>coat in the above picture . . . wow! Full of soft neutrals, luxurious fabrics and beautiful accessories she really does stand out in the very male dominated political world. <br />
<br />
<img alt="The Small Things Blog: Low Chignon Hair Tutorial (LOVE this blog) So many ideas for ball.. and they're so easy I could *possibly* do them" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/52/6a/04/526a0486b530fc5f8769cf0535dff245.jpg" height="640" width="480" /><br />
<br />
3. Kate from The Small Things Blog - <a href="http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/">http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/</a> , does some of the best hair tutorials (she also has a Youtube channel) I have found. This picture is from the Low Chignon tutorial which I have attempted a couple of times but it hasn't worked out exactly how I imagined. I think the secret is in the texture of your hair so next time I'm going to whip out my Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray & see what happens. Practice makes perfect.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Love this sweatshirt look!!" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ba/bd/dc/babddc8327528fb2b597dbd21006e161.jpg" /><br />
<br />
4. I love everything about this outfit! Would you just look at that Celine bag!! My favourite has to be the Off Duty sweatshirt and I am now on the look for a similar piece! It adds a very casual/cool edge to an outfit which other than that is rather daytime dressy.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake - soft, fluffy, and extra large! Get the recipe at sallysbakingaddiction.com" height="640" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f7/a0/c5/f7a0c5cbfc9ea4dfcf467b606b23deb5.jpg" width="425" /><br />
<br />
5. Not wanting to blow my own trumpet or anything but I do make <i>very </i>good cinnamon buns. It's all down to a recipe my mum recommended from one of her American cookbooks (the name of which escapes me) . My next baking project is to attempt this giant cinnamon roll cake (the recipe of which is also on my Food pin board). Gawwd it looks so good!!<br />

I certainly have, although my moment was more like an hour sat scrolling through pictures of his beautiful collection and daydreaming of what it must be like to wear one of his creations.<br />
<br />
If you haven't done so already then you can watch Elie Saab S/S 14 show here - <a href="http://www.eliesaab.com/#/en/home">http://www.eliesaab.com/#/en/home</a> His past shows are definitely worth a look too for their timeless beauty.<br />
<br />
Three of my favourites from the S/S 14 Couture show are below:<br />

I don't think you could find someone who doesn't like Zooey Deschanel . Men love her. Women love her. She seems as nice in interviews as she does onscreen, especially her character Jess in New Girl. (I am a HUGE <i>New Girl </i>fan. It's definitely filled the Friends shaped hole in my life!)<br />
<br />
So, it goes without saying really that my Best Dressed from last nights Emmy Awards was...Zooey! Her frothy, ice blue Reem Acra gown was just perfection. She posted a beautiful photo on Instagram showing her hair and make up look with someone comparing her to 'a modern day Audrey'. I completely agree. It was so very Zooey; a look that was just made for her. <br />

Another photo she posted on Instagram was of her manicure where she'd had little televisions painted onto her nails! I was hoping she was going to show them on E! Live on the Red Carpet's Mani Cam - a little camera inserted into a box where the stars could 'walk' their fingers down a little red carpet! A great new addition to add to E! already brilliant red carpet coverage.<br />
<br />
Although <i>New Girl</i> missed out on winning an Emmy my other favourite show <i>Modern Family </i>won Best Comedy for the third year running, a directing and two acting awards. If you have yet to watch it I urge you to! It's brilliant!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If there's one person whose been pulling out all the stops in the fashion department its <b>Jessica Biel </b>on her <i>Total Recall</i> promotion duties. This look - Giambattista Valli Couture tailored shirt with a feather peplum and lace pencil skirt - has been my favourite! She topped it off with an incredible pair of Christian Louboutin neon pink heels; the best choice against an otherwise all white ensemble. </span></div>

I am absolutely loving it & have never watched so much sport in my life!! This is a quick post in between watching events on to some of my recent hair and beauty buys . . .<br />

<b>L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil.</b><br />
When I first saw this advertised in a magazine and heard great reviews I had to buy it! I use L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner and I'm always impressed with the way it leaves my hair, so I had high expectations for this product! I've found its results are very similar to Moroccan Oil (which I adore!) although it has a thinner consistency, meaning you can sometimes pump out a bit too much from the bottle! At £9.99 its a bargain too!<br />
<br />
<b>Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polish.</b><br />
These little pots of nail polish are so cute and come in a huge range of colours! I now have 4, with the most recent purchase being shade 09. Diva Coral. I chose it as my 'festival shade' to wear to Boardmasters and Reading this month! Its very pretty - bold and summery, and makes a nice change from my usual nail colour palette of purples, pinks and greens.<br />
<br />
<b>Stylfile S-file</b> from Tom Pellereau.<br />
Created by the 2011 winner of The Apprentice, the S-file is named after its shape and follows the nails natural curve which makes filing quicker and easier. The S-file does exactly what it claims to and I found it much easier to gain my desired nail shape than using a flat file. Although priced at almost £5, its meant to last up to 12 months! There is also an S-buffer and Emergency File (a mini S-file and S-buffer in one) which complete the collection.<br />
<br />
<b>Clinique City Block (25SPF)</b><br />
This daily face protector is one of my favourite ever products! I recently started using it again and will now ALWAYS have it in my make up bag. Its a sheer UVA/UVB formula which can be used as daily sun protection and protect against environmental aggressors. It can be worn on its own and under make up. Personally, its the best primer I have tried and makes my make up extremely long lasting.<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>real Techniques Stippling Brush.</b><br />
After reading many positive reviews of real Techniques make up brushes I have finally bought one! I am so impressed with the way my foundation looks after applying it with this stippling brush. I don't like to wear too much foundation so using a brush is the perfect way to apply it for me. Combined with my Clinique City Block it makes my foundation last for most of the day! Now what brush to buy next . . .<br />

But these have grown on me, they really do look great for day time! I can already think of various outfits I can throw these on with in my wardrobe!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& whats even better, with every pair of TOMS purchased, a pair will be donated to a child in need. </div>

I like to keep it simple...maybe sometimes too simple. Which is why I've recently been drawn to lip colour. In particular, moisturizing lip colours as my lips have a tendency to get <i>very</i> dry meaning I constantly need a lip balm close to hand!<br />
<br />
After recently trying the Revlon lip butters & L'Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks (both of which I love!) I just had to try the much raved about <b>Clinique Chubby Stick moisturizing lip colour balms</b>. Clinique is my go-to make up brand & has been for years so I knew I <i>definitely</i> wouldn't be disappointed.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
There are 16 colours to choose from so it was a hard choice! I was drawn to <b>Oversized Orange</b> as its unlike anything I've ever worn before, is perfect for the summer & will really stand out against any skin tone. The warm orange shade is sheer to begin with but you can build it up by applying with a lip brush or layering on with another shade.<br />
<br />
The colour itself is hard to photograph properly on my lips but I'm planning on wearing it a lot this summer, be that going out at night, during the day or to festivals etc, so I'm sure it'll pop up on my blog sometime in the near future.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, which shade to choose next . . .</div>

Before I get onto the beautifully patriotic cake me and my friend made, I've firstly got to mention the Jubilee Concert which took place last night! I wasn't planning on watching all of it (<i>Revenge</i> at 9, <i>Made in Chelsea</i> at 10 but by that time I had already pressed the R button on Sky Plus) but after watching the first hour how could I not?<br />
<br />
The whole event looked incredible, with the infectious atmosphere and excitement of the 20 thousand strong crowd gathered up The Mall & the fireworks finale was just spectacular! I was only watching it in HD so imagine what it must have been like to really be there!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite moments: Ed Sheeran, Stevie Wonder, Madness & the amazing projections onto Buckingham Palace during their performance, Cheryl Cole standing next to the Queen on stage, Kate Middleton & ... <b>Prince Harry (</b>I think I'm just a little bit in love with him).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So it seems almost every July magazine issue has some amazing freebies at the moment! Glamour and InStyle are two of my favourite monthly magazines so I was happy to see the brilliant make up they were giving away free with the new issues! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instyle has a choice of two The Body Shop make up items: <b>Big and Curvy Mascara</b> or <b>Kohl Eye Definers in Black & Navy</b>. Both are full size and the same as what are sold in store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glamour (which also has a choice of three cover stars) has three sample size products by Benefit: <b>BadGal Lash Mascara, That Gal Primer </b>&<b> The Porefessional</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose the mascaras with both magazines & am looking forward to giving them a try! I've used my friends Benefit They're Real Mascara for nights out recently & been so impressed so I've got high hopes for the BadGal Lash!! I will definitely be hunting down another copy of Glamour with the That Gal Primer to try out too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next to buy is Elle with <b>David Beckham</b> on the cover (!?) ... at first I thought my eyes were deceiving me but its true! Its actually a very good way in getting <i>even</i> more women to buy the magazine (& the free gift is a summery vest top by Reiss!) . . .<br />

<i>The Great Gatsby</i> trailer has finally been released and I could not be more excited! I'm a huge fan of the book, having read it in English Lit at 6th Form and when I found out over a year ago that Baz Luhrmann was making a new (3D!) adaptation of my favourite book with Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby (best casting ever) I was literally counting down the days until its release!<br />

From what the trailer shows, the whole look of the film is so very Luhrmann and completely encapsulates the extravagance and excitement of 1920's New York. Influences from this era have been seen on the catwalks for some time now and this bound to explode by the time the film is released this December. The fashion, alongside the performances and the film in general, are sure to be a huge talking point of the film. </div>

In a slightly unusual but brilliant choice, Jay Z and Kanye West's collaboration <i>No Church For The Wild </i>accompanies the opening voice over of the trailer and achieves in setting the whole tone for the film which is sure to be incredible.<br />
<br />
I <i>literally</i> cannot wait to see this film and if Baz Luhrmann's previous masterpieces (<i>Moulin Rouge</i> anyone?) are anything to go by this will definitely not disappoint! </div>

It was Elise's first visit to this wonderful place, as Sophie and I had lived there for 3 years while at Uni and it was our first trip back since graduation last September! We stayed at Falmouth Lodge Backpackers, a cheap, clean and cosy hostel very close to the beach and town! I would definitely stay there again!<br />

I absolutely love the colour and fabric of this dress! It really stands out against a red carpet full of black, metallic and shimmery dresses. </div>

After trying two different shops I managed to track down the shade I was after: Bluebell. I was very lucky to get it on my third attempt as it was the last on the shelf!<br />

I was attracted to this particular polish because of its violet tones and the fact that its unlike any shade I'd ever seen for nails before. The name is spot on as it perfectly matches the colour of Bluebell's and is perfect for the current season! Its a very soft, pretty, wearable colour and I imagine with a tan it would really pop! </div>

There are three colours to choose from - Power Pink (which I got this morning but have yet to try!), Bluebell and Peach Sorbet. I even received a tweet from InStyle saying that Bluebell seemed to be the favourite shade of the three! </div>

In other news (not nail related!) I made some very pretty vanilla and jam cupcakes for my mum's birthday this morning and just had to share a photo of them! I love the pastel frosting! </div>

PINTEREST. </div>

Oh my god its amazing, I love it, I don't know how I survived without it! Ok so I'm being a bit over the top but seriously its so good! Those of you who have it already know this and those who don't should get it! I find it not only fun but really inspiring. I love looking at photos, especially to get new, original ideas in my life so I knew I had to join as its right up my street!<br />
<br />
Anyway I've been shopping so thought I would dedicate this post to my latest buys! First up is my new Zara bag which I adore!<br />

I have had my eye on it for about 2 months now and finally decided it was time to buy after seeing a photo of Mollie King from The Saturdays with it and I suddenly worried it would sell out! Thank god it didn't because its just perfect, big enough for all my daily essentials plus more so I know I'll be using this all summer!<br />

H&M (like Zara) is another shop which is getting everything right at the moment! I just walk in and immediately see at least five things I want! I bought this skirt and top from the Conscious Collection which launched a couple of weeks ago. The skirt is really flattering and pretty and I'm just obsessed with anything mint coloured right now! The navy blazer I bought a few weeks back and already worn it alot. Its a classic item goes with so in my wardrobe!<br />

I've made a promise to myself to start updating my blog more regularly and taking more photos to share!<br />
<br />
So....this is what I wore last Friday night! The shorts are Topshop & I got them from Ebay for £5!! I was so happy when I found them & even more surprised when I was the only bidder! The cream blouse was £10 from Primark & the wedges are Lousie Roe for Stylistpick (<a href="http://byjessicasutherland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/bardot-wedges.html" target="_blank">see previous post</a>).<br />

We went out in Canterbury to a bar called The Ballroom which has a really great atmosphere and glamorous interior, with an extremely high ceiling, lots of mirrors & chandeliers.They serve this drink called The Teapot which is basically some sort of fruity cocktail in a huge teapot & you drink out of teacups! SO cute! But yeah I didn't take enough photos so next time I go I'll be sure to take loads!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm off to spend the rest of my evening with a glass of Baileys(I know its not Christmas but I love it) & reading Marie Claire & In Style...Two of my favourite people Cheryl Cole & Jennifer Aniston are both on the cover of the latest issues!<br />

It reminds me of a Peter Pilotto dress with the graphic print and zip front detail and the citrus lime colour is just perfect for the summer months. Teamed with the right shoes and accessories its could easily be worn during the day AND at night, which is something I always love my wardrobe items to be: versatile.<br />

Apart from lusting after the above dress, my week has mainly consisted of sorting through mountains of clothes for Ebay, working and buying lots of Body Shop products (I went a bit made when I saw the current 3 for 2 offer). I've also been reading The Hunger Games trilogy. Yes, I'm a bit late on the bandwagon but these books are Amazing! I saw the film last week which was incredible and definitely lived up to the book! Jennifer Lawrence as Katiss is such a brilliant actress and it'll be interesting to see what other film roles she takes on & watch her career develop.<br />
<br />
I'm also really looking forward to going out tonight and with it being bank holiday its sure to be a gooden! I'm planning to wear my new Bardot Wedges and Topshop shorts (which I got from Ebay for just £5!! best find!). I'm hoping to do my first outfit post of the outfit so watch this space...<br />

I've had my eye on these since the collection launched online in February but due to the original conditions of Stylistpick's membership I was somewhat reluctant to buy them. I was therefore very pleased when they recently introduced the new pay as you go option at the check out! I managed to get these wedges for £15.00 (originally £39.95 like everything on Stylistpick) when I used a "valid for one day" code!<br />

The description online calls them "the perfect beach to bar wedge" which I completely agree with! I've already thought of so many day and night time outfit combinations I could team them with and while they are quite high, being wedges, they are still very comfortable!<br />
<br />
Not only was I impressed by the quality of the shoes, the delivery and attention to detail was excellent! After opening the usual cardboard delivery box, I was surprised to see a large black Stylistpick gift bag protecting the shoe box (which had black ribbon tied around it in a bow). Each shoe was then individually wrapped in white tissue paper and sealed with a little Stylistpick sticker.<br />

The rest of the Louise Roe collection is very impressive and I particularly like the Hutton wedges in Taupe (although they are currently sold out) & the Talitha heels in Orange. I may be making another purchase very soon . . .<br />

</div><div>For the first time in four years I was home for Mothers Day so I decided to take my mum to her (and my) favourite haunt in Broadstairs, Oscars Festival Cafe. I'm going to do a blog post dedicated to it soon as its such a cute, cosy place with great coffee, cake and company! </div><div><br />

<div>Now I really recommend buying Cake Days by The Hummingbird Bakery if you don't own it already! There are some of the classic recipes taken from the first book with lots of extras for different seasons and occasions added in! I made my mum a Blueberry Crumble Loaf which turned out very well and tasted delicious! It made a nice change seeing as I usually go for the cookies or cupcake recipes! Next on my list is an attempt at a cheesecake . . . </div><div><br />

I went in during the week to track down this beautiful skirt below which I had spotted in Grazia and came out with a rather big To Buy list! This skirt really reminds me of a Mary Katrantzou print and for £25.99 its such a good price! Its easy to dress up or wear casual and I'll definitely be wearing it a lot for spring/summer.<br />

I also took advantage of free next day delivery at ASOS and ordered this gorgeous navy dress (another to add to my collection) which I wore out last night. Its quite short but very pretty and the sequinned lace trim is an elegant touch.<br />

Its a conditioning, styling and finishing tool which claims to instantly absorb into hair, speed up drying time, increase shine and transform the overall look and feel of hair.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have heard that a 100ml bottle of Moroccanoil Treatment lasts up to 9 months which is very impressive, especially when you consider its £30. However, a 50 ml bottle of <a href="http://organicarganoil.org.uk/Buy-Moroccan-Argan-Oil-For-Hair">Organic Argan Oil</a> (Moroccanoil's signature ingredient) is only £4.99 and a fraction of the price of Moroccanoil Treatment. Both products claim to be multi-tasking & achieve the same results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I want to find out whether its worth investing £30 for a bottle of Moroccanoil or if Organic Argan Oil, the cheaper option, is the way to go. Along with the bottle of Organic Argan Oil, I have a sample size bottle of Moroccanoil Treatment (containing a surprisingly generous amount of oil). I have decided to test both these products (not at the same time) over a time period of 3-4 weeks and see which I think is best. I will be basing my decision on whether each product lives up to what it claims to do, the look & condition of my hair & my overall satisfaction of the products.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From Harrods online description of Velvet Love - carnation flowers envelop oriental notes, giving in to an exhilarating rush of ylang ylang and pepper - it sounds like my favourite already without even smelling it! The bottles themselves look beautifully classic and sleek, bearing an engraved golden plate and colour fabric around the lid. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I came across the collection in last weekend's The Observer magazine and entered a competition to win the whole set worth £720!! If I don't win (which is very likely) <span style="text-align: center;">I would still love to get my hands on one of these beauties but they are currently priced at £120 each. Hmmm I may need to start saving . . . </span></span></div>Jessica Sutherlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08612604169878298022noreply@blogger.com0
