One of my goals this year was to experiment more with beauty, and if there’s ever a time for more is more when it comes to beauty – that time is now. Everywhere I look I’m seeing sparkle; face gems, foil-adorned eyes and glitter… No amount is too much. Big bold makeup and maximalist looks are evident on the runways and in real life, what better time for self-expression and individuality?

Remember back at the beginning of 2019 when I said one of my New Year’s Resolutions was to start introducing more colour and patterns into my wardrobe, well looks like I’m doing pretty good so far 6 months in to the year…

New York City is living in the golden age of doughnuts; and has a number of vastly different doughnut shops from a mix of the old-fashioned old-school bakery, to your local neighbourhood coffee shop, to upscale patisseries, to the artisanal and new. The hand-held sweet or savoury treats are as popular as ever and widely available, making the perfect dessert or even meal (I’m guilty of eating a doughnut for breakfast, don’t judge). If you’ve been roaming those NYC streets for the best doughnut money can buy, look no further.

It’s no secret I’m a fan of graphic tees, particularly those with musicians or cartoon characters on. So its no surprise then that when I saw this Mickey Mouse t-shirt in Metropolis Vintage NYC I knew I was going to be walking out with it and giving it a good home. What I love about a character like this is wherever I wear it, whatever city or country I’m in, everyone knows who the beloved Walt Disney character is that’s splayed across my t-shirt.

Matte or dewy? Full coverage or light coverage? High-street or high-end? Choosing the best foundation for your skin can be tricky, add to this the never-ending foundations out there on the market and its a minefield. Finding the ideal foundation isn’t a walk in the park and can seem an impossible task, but after your epic search when you do find the perfect fit its a game-changer.

I know I know, another one of those Topshop satin skirts you say? When something is this good, why mess with it? I, along with many other fashion enthusiasts, have become a die-hard fan of the satin slip skirt. When something is this easy to wear, it’s hard not to become addicted. And luckily for us, the high-street seems to be replicating the satin slip skirt in new colours and prints nearly every week! Whats not to love…
