Every summer I go through this endless ‘struggle’ of finding the perfect summer bag. I want something casual, cute and light – but that also fits my laptop (I’m freelancing – so sometimes I like to work out and about) and that can double as hand-luggage if we jet away anywhere. This year, we’ll actually…
6 pairs of shoes I can’t live without this summer
I was in Brighton a couple of years ago sight-seeing with my boyfriend, and I was wearing an adorable (but painful) pair of shoes. It turned into one of those ‘moments’ I knew I was getting older, because I decided (however cute they were and how good they looked) that the shoes weren’t worth the pain….
The best places to find cheap plus size clothing
Looking for cheap plus size clothing? I don’t know what it is about the plus size industry – but it seems to be more expensive than smaller sized clothing. I’m a size 16 myself, so luckily I can hop between high street brands, and plus size brands – which I’m always pretty thankful for. I know that…

One of the reasons I LOVE spring and summer so much, is the dresses. I love dresses. And pretty heels. And bare legs. And a summer tan. It makes me so happy to put on a pretty dress, and to feel pretty in it. One of my favourite brands for finding a huge variety of…
Perfect in Pastels: Gorgeous Pastel Dresses Perfect for Spring
Spring rolls around and suddenly all the dark colours in my wardrobe seem like the most unnecessary items that ever existed. I banish them all the the ‘storage closet’ never to be seen again.

Emma Hardie Amazing Face – Before and After
With my wedding on the horizon (July!) I’ve been paying so much attention to my skin-care and the condition of my skin. I want my makeup to look perfect on the big day, and I know that the better my skin is naturally, the better the make-up will look, and the better the photos will…
How to use concealer, and cover up problem areas
I was relatively lucky throughout my teenage years and early twenties because the only area I’ve ever really struggled with (in terms of my complexion) is my chin. Unfortunately, what no one seems to tell you when you’re going through those teenage years, is that spots and problems areas don’t miraculously disappear once you’re an adult. I…
My Favourite Smoky-Eye Evening Look
With so many special nights coming up this year (my hen-do, our wedding, 2 friends weddings later in the year….) perfecting a formal evening-y style look has been high on my to-do list. I’m no beauty expert (hands up, I’ll be the first to admit it). Actually, beauty is something I’ve only gotten really interested…
My *Dream* Honeymoon Wardrobe
It may just be me – but one of the best things about planning a honeymoon, is planning the outfits you get to take with you. Here are a few of my ideas so far… For the plane? Comfy over-sized jumper (with a cowl neck to collect the plane-sleep drool). Passport (of course), sunglasses (good…
My Favourite Little Black Dresses
My one wardrobe stable, all year round, is the little black dress. With tights and boots in winter, and with pumps or heels in summer. I know when I’m shopping for dresses myself, that recommendations weigh heavily on my mind (and my shopping cart). I’ve purchased many a dress because it looked amazing on a…
