Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, I'm doing a blog post today on something I thought I would never ever do one on...an item of clothing! I'm not even going to use the "F"(ashion) word as there is no way myself and "fashion" or "style" can be connected in the same blog! But.... I bought a top last month from Peacocks and I have had so many comments about it, I thought I'd put all the details down on here if any of you fancied taking a closer look at it!  It's a bargain at £16 too so no guilt needed if it is purchased! So it's really such a simple black blouse but the little details are what really make it such a stand-out top.  It has long sleeves and a frill at the cuff and also a high frill collar.  I'm a massive fan of high necks, they just seem to suit me better than anything low cut, scooped or V-necked. It has two little black buttons at the back of the neck and also a ruffle detail over the shoulders.  The pattern is just beautiful and ...

Hey everyone, We are well and truly into Autumn now and so today I am bringing you my review of the October My Little Box.  I had a few tense days waiting for mine to arrive again but I think my postman is getting used to my crazed looks around the same time of the month! Luckily for you guys I haven't progressed onto You Tube Unboxing's just yet otherwise all you would hear would be high-pitched shrieks! I am in such wonder that My Little Box can produce box after box of such great quality items, but they just get better and better.  The theme this month is "Brooklyn" and the artwork on the cover of the box is of a lady sitting on a Brooklyn side-walk drinking a cup of coffee.  There is also a sticker on the inside of the outer box of a doughnut and the words "Donut Worry".  I love the little stickers - they just make me smile when I see them! The first thing inside is a card with a sketch drawing of Brooklyn and on the back is the idea behind ...

Hey everyone, I've had a constant battle with my hair since as long as I can remember.  I never had long hair when I was little and when I try to grow my hair now, it gets to a certain length just above my shoulders and I end up going back to my faithful pixie cut! This time though it's different (she says!!).  I've given myself exactly a year before I do anything drastic and I want to see how long I can finally get this hair.  I'm going to be having regular two-monthly trims with my hairdresser to keep it in good shape so hopefully I won't find the growing process too difficult.  It's currently growing out of a short graduated bob so the "style" (I use that word very loosely) is looking a little questionable.  I also had the ends dyed "ombre" in May and they are starting to look pretty dry - add this to the fact my hair starts to feel pretty thin the longer it gets... it's not looking good on the hair front at the moment! I saw...

Hey everyone, How are we even in October!! I just can't believe how quickly the year is flying by! I thought I would take this opportunity to gather together a few things that I've been loving in the month of September.  I always find September a bit of a quiet month in terms of make up and skin care as the weather hasn't quite changed and I'm still happy to use my summer products, but here's the ones that I've reached for over and over again... Dr.Organic  Rose Otto Face Scrub I love this range from Dr.Organic.  It's available in Holland & Barrett and I stumbled across it by complete accident at the end of last year.  I absolutely love this face scrub.  It feels quite harsh on the skin when you first use it, but I just use the tiniest bit and rub it gently over my face about three times a week whilst I'm in the shower.  It costs £7.59 and is currently on Buy One Get One Half Price.    Dr.Organic  Rose Otto Lip Serum ...
