A great piece of knitwear can be a key item in many outfits, and there’s nothing quite like a chic jumper to make you feel cosy and on-trend this winter. Versatile items, knitwear can look as good worn with off-duty denim as it does layered over a silk slip dress teamed with Converse.

As much as I love makeup, skincare is where I will really spend my time (and money) investing in what’s right for me. Figuring out your ‘perfect’ skincare routine and finding the right products that work for you takes time and patience, don’t expect to see results overnight. Here’s a carefully curated list of products that are currently working for me, but remember our skin is always changing – so when your skin changes what you use will need to change too.

Autumn/winter may be my favourite time of year for dressing as it gives you an excuse to get all of your treasured coats and beloved knitwear out of the deep recesses of your wardrobe. A trench coat is an item that’ll be a lifelong companion and an inevitable wardrobe staple, it took me a long time to find my ideal mate but I believe I’ve found “the one” in this Topshop number.

I love makeup. I don’t wear it as often as I’d like to these days, but I love the transformative properties it has and the endless possibilities it creates. You don’t have to be a beauty guru to appreciate a good beauty find, and below I’ve listed my top picks for 2018. As a beauty obsessive it was really hard for me to narrow this list down, but I did my best and only included one product from each category. So here’s a toast to my best of beauty 2018!

It’s safe to say the slip skirt has made an overwhelming comeback in recent months. Surprisingly versatile and now a wardrobe staple for many, the slip skirt can be worn with everything from ankle boots and trainers to silk blouses and cosy knits. At only £29–£35, Topshop’s version now comes in a range of colours/prints and I’m not ashamed to say I own four of these sell-out skirts!

It’s been a while but I’m back, and hopefully better than ever! 2018 was a rollercoaster of a year for me, and all I can say is I’m glad its over. I definitely had to put my blog on the back-burner in 2018 and focus more on myself, undergoing two operations and focusing more on my family its been a whirlwind of a year. One thing I definitely want to focus on in 2019 is creating the best possible content I can, and seeing where this blog can take me!
