THE FLOWER STAND, CHELSEA

Being someone who wears a lot of black and grey, I really am considering investing in some pink pieces to brighten up my wardrobe. And if I'm not quite brave enough to "pink up" my wardrobe, I will definitely at least be trying the trend through makeup. The Bobbi Brown lip gloss would be a great starting place, and I would also suggest trying some MAC lipsticks, and Barry M nail varnishes to add some pink into your beauty bag!

What are your favourite pink pieces at the moment?

The Very Inspiring Blogger Award

The lovely blogger who nominated me said at the beginning of her post that she'd been nominated for this award, and had totally forgotten to post about it. This was quite a few weeks ago now, and ironically, although I haven't forgotten to post about the award, I have just been too busy at work to post about it! But I now have a few days off work, so I can finally catch up with myself!

The rules are as follows:

Link back to your nominator
Display the award logo
Share 7 things about yourself
Nomiate - and let them know

So, I would like to introduce the lovely Caroline of The Girl in the Yellow Dress blog. Caroline's blog gives a beautifully refreshing view on fashion and life - she loves to discover new things, and is incredibly supportive of others in the blogging community. Her blog is truly beautiful, and she often offers little life excerpts which make her readers smile.

Here is Caroline's link: www.girlintheyellowdress.com - so please so check out her blog and support her.

7 Things About Me:

I work for a Non-Govermental Organisation called Street Child World Cup. We believe that no child should have to live on the streets, and our tournament in Rio de Janeiro next March will provide a platform for the voices of street children from 20 different countries to be heard. To find out more visit: www.streetchildworldcup.org - this is a cause that I am truly passionate about, so I feel privileged to have such a job.
I really love to ski, and am excited to be going back out to the Alps for the Easter Weekend.
I've done Hatha yoga for a couple of years, but in April I'm trying out hot yoga (not Bikram, just yoga in a hot room I think!) - so I'll let you all know how that goes!
I really need a new pair of running trainers... I would love a pair of these Nike IDs... store.nike.com
I have recently discovered Label.m dry shampoo and I just love it! I really recommend it! thebeautybooth.com
My favourite show at the February LFW has to be Burberry Prorsum - it was a beautiful collection, and I just loved Tom Odell's live performance of "Hold Me" (definitely the next big UK music star!)
My next purchase will be the gorgeous new moochers by French Sole - they are just divine! www.frenchsole.com

March Wish List: Top Ten

So, it's been a little while since I've posted. I've not forgotten about my beloved blog, I have just been ridiculously busy at work! As I work in events the nature of my job is that it comes and goes in waves; and unfortunately I nearly drowned in my wave on numerous occasions over the last few weeks! But thankfully I have finally found the time to write my latest post, and I must say I am rather excited about this one...

As you may have noticed from most of my posts, I often like to play it quite safe; but recent goings-on in the industry have inspired me to be a little more adventurous! The items I have chosen this month are all very "in vogue" with the current fashion fascination of luxe sportswear - inspired by the likes of Queen Delevingne (whose t-shirt I wanted to include in this post, but unsurprisingly they have all sold out, however it has been replaced with another amazing slogan tee saying "totes jel of my Chanel?" - if only I actually had a Chanel!). So without further ado, here are my top ten items for March:

1.

FRENCH SOLE

moochers in black dalmatian and ponyhair, with a glitter toe-cap, and neon green trim

£95

ZARA

£89.99

10.

My mood for March is definitely relaxed with a twist of fun. What with all the gloomy weather in London at the moment, we certainly need a few fun (and warm!) items to cheer us up!

What is on your March wish list?

February Wish List: Top Ten

February is one of fashion's biggest months. It is the month of the Autumn Winter shows that predict what we'll be wearing the following winter. Now, to some this may seem a little depressing - why think about next winter when we haven't even finished with this one? But to me it's exciting - the colder it is, the more clothes I get to wear! February is also the month of love, so this month there's a little bit of a red theme running through my Wish List. And I really am in love with the first item of my Wish List.

January Wish List: Top Ten

Happy New Year to all! I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year, and are feeling refreshed enough to take on 2013 with appropriate vigour and enthusiasm! Personally I haven't made any "resolutions" as such - I already exercise regularly, I don't overindulge too often, and I quit smoking 7 months ago - however I have committed to generally improving my time-management so that I can improve on the foundations that are already there. Do you have any exciting resolutions for 2013?

January's Wish List is very much an actual Wish List, rather than a Shopping List, due to funds being incredibly low this month - however I still dare to dream! Evidently there are not many clothes on my list, as many of us are trying to shift those few extra pounds from the festive period, however I have included a trusty pair of jeans. The jeans are from Topshop and they're on the list as not only am I in desperate need of a new pair, but I have found Topshop jeans to be great for my shape and long-lasting. The accessories, shoes and makeup I've included are fun and bright, and are ideal to cheer us up during the bleak January period - I know I need to shake off those January blues, and although it isn't everything in life, fashion is a good place to start!

1.

VICTORIA BECKHAM

two-tone crepe dress

£450

MULBERRY

leather apple keyring

£70

www.mulberry.com

JAQUIE AICHE

double ring with bezel

£85.39

www.shopbop.com

FRENCH SOLE

henrietta galaxi ballet flats

£130

TOPSHOP

10.

BARRY M

£2.99

www.barrym.com

So I hope that my January Wish List has given you some inspiration in what can often be a rather depressing month. The Bobbi Brown glitter sparkle eyeshadow was included as firstly it is gorgeous, but secondly Katie Holme's first campaign for Bobbi Brown was revealed today, so do be sure to check out the Vogue review: www.vogue.co.uk

What's on your January Wish List?

November Wish List: Top Ten

So, as some of you may have noticed, I haven't posted in a while. Unfortunately technology failed me at the beginning of October and crippled my chances of posting... but I am now back, and armed with a brand new laptop!

As is becoming tradition, my first post each month is my top ten wish list, and I'm not one to break tradition, so November will be no different! I'm very much looking forward to the festive season, so sparkles feature heavily (I love sparkles at Christmas time!).
