Ever get stressed trawling allllll the shops online, looking for all the components of an outfit? Sometimes you just need to get everything in one place and be done with it.  I like a little mission and I've collaborated with my faves at La Redoute and my mission was to build two looks, wearing La Redoute's own brands . If you didn't know, La Redoute also sell tonnes of popular brands like Adidas and Levis and their homeware is also banging - I've got so many items on my wishlist!  Anyway, back to the task at hand! Who wants to see the two looks I put together? Look 1 - A Daytime Look  Need some off-duty inspiration? Look no further! I have taken the cosiest jacket of all time and styled it with some super casual pieces for the perfect daytime look. Now, it's a little chilly at the moment BUT this puffa jacket is like stepping out in your duvet so even with the bare legs; you're good to go. I picked other casual items that you can style in heaps of differe...

As Kristen Wiig famously yells in the film Bridesmaids, "I'm ready to PAAAAAAAARTY!"  Every year I spend the festive period with my family but come New Year's Eve, I'm back in London and it's all about the bubbles and besties! I have absolutely NO idea what I am doing this year but one thing I do know is that I'm gonna look hella pretty! Whether you're going out or staying in, I thought it might be helpful to show you what I plan on wearing and that might inspire you to dress up this NYE. If I could put a bet on what I do this year, it'd be celebrating with a small gang of friends at one of our houses, I'll consume a lot of Aperol and we'll sing, dance and play lots of games - even just writing it makes me smile. I've not gone out-out for NYE in a long time. I love the ones where I end up at a local pub or at my friend's warehouse...wow I really am getting old now.  Whatever you end up doing, I hope you have a fab night and if you d...

1. Those pictures you see on social media don't tell the entire truth. No matter what time of year it is, you're always bombarded with pictures of everyone's perfect life and I'm here to tell you half of it is a load of old phoney! No one captures the moment they had a meltdown in the supermarket or a solo cry in the car or the huge family row or the fact that even surrounded by people; they still felt really alone. Stop comparing your own life to someone else's. Every single one of us is battling our own demons, so just remember that when you think your work mate or best friend is untouched by shittiness.  2. Who gives a shit if you put on a few pounds/half a stone/skip a day or 5 of your shitty diet. Guys, guys...life is too short. Eat, Drink and be Merry. If you're lucky enough to be able to indulge, go for it! My favourite meal of the entire year is my Christmas dinner and I just love looking over and watching my Mum cry without fail as she looks around the ...

There's something about an all-black outfit that just says 'Hello, I ooze sophistication, I'm pretty damn trendy yet I've put in minimal effort.' I think the above is an aesthetic I lean to more often than not. I like to look well put together with an air of, I don't give a f*ck . All-black outfits can be pretty bland if you stick to one fabric type or one trend BUT the real magic of a head to toe black look comes via the attention to detail.  Mix up your fabric types, play around with silhouettes and throw in some fabulous details and you have a recipe for a standout all-black look.    Here are my top tips for turning heads with your jet black look... 1) Wear different fabric types I remember when I would wear a black jersey pencil skirt (Do you guys know the ones I'm talking about? Approx £7.99 from H&M and I livedddddd in them) black jersey leggings and black jersey tops. Looking back, I'm not sure they were my greatest looks tbh... Keep things ex...
