Five blogs that I absolutely love;

Hello Lovelies!

I believe it's a great thing to read and show appreciation for other people's hard work, because it gives them encouragement which everyone wants and it makes you known to them so they can reciprocate your love, (it's all very loving).

Since joining Bloglovin' I have been reading quite a lot of different blogs that I find interesting, so I thought I'd share my list of my top 5 with you all!

#5 Circle of Chaos - www.circleofchaos.blogspot.co.uk

Vanessa is a German fashion blogger who has the cutest style and writes beautifully and in detail about all of her finds. She's not like all the other fashion bloggers out there, in my opinion, because she has her own style, which is classy and so elegant. I recommend her post entitled 'Ladylike' - that outfit blew my mind.

#4 Briar Rose - www.thebriarroseblog.com

Megan is just so lovely! When I'm having a bad day I like to read her posts because they're so honest and happy. She is a fashion and lifestyle blogger who talks about her home, her husband Grant (adorbs) and cosplay - all of which she does beautifully! Her hair also gives me envy on another level.

#3 Sincerely Amy - www.sincerelyamy.com 

If you're interested in Theatre, then this is the blog for you! Amy is the resident blogger for the Birmingham Hippodrome, so she gets backstage info on all the top shows out!
Amy's blog is probably the reason I continued writing my blog. I know her personally and her personality is shown perfectly through her words. She's a great girl and her travel vlogs are so fun to watch! Find her on Youtube at 'sincerely amy'. You'll thank me later.

#2 Career Girl Daily - www.careergirldaily.com

If you're an independent woman with your business head on then this is a blog for you! Celina has so many helpful tips and tricks on interviews, pitching and even looking the part so you ace whatever you're applying for! This is my go-to for lots of blog help and my career.

#1 Milk bubble tea - www.milkbubbletea.com

This girl can write! I love her happy and honest style and her little dachshund Oscar (dog envy right there). She writes recipes, hauls and updates about her lovely life. She's definitely a favourite and her blog name is cute too!

These blogs were all found on Bloglovin' and I'm so glad I did because they make life a little less boring when I read from their pages. Now go follow them too and tell them I sent you!

Thanks for reading!

I'm back!

Hello Lovelies!

God, it feels so good to say that again!

I missed this! I've been so out of it for so long and it's seriously starting to make me feel bad, not writing down how I feel, I definitely needed a huge kick up the ass.

I realised how much I enjoy writing and I hope none of you have moved on to greener pastures and have waited eagerly by your laptops, praying for my return.

A lot has gone on since I went MIA, both in the fashion world and my personal life and I will be telling you all about it in time, just let me get back up to speed!

On a serious note, I am eternally grateful to the people who read this blog, who actually have decided my writing was worth it. I still have my doubts as to whether I can write or not and if anyone even takes anything away from this blog then I couldn't be happier. I've had some lovely surprises and made some decisions about my life lately and I hope you guys want to follow me on my journey.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Cya soon,

Book Review: Confessions of a shopaholic

Hello Lovelies!

I've been a bit under the weather recently and today I decided I'd venture, snot-nosed and blurry-eyed, out to do some personal errands in Liverpool. While I was there, I walked past a British Heart Foundation shop with the most beautiful display of books in the window. 

Now there are three things I love in windows; 

Clothes

Make up 

And books.

Being the little bookworm I am, I rushed in heading straight to the book section, eying the shelves for anything that would catch my eye. Cookery books, mind and body books and then finally, the £1 book section. Where the old Mills and Boon novels my gran reads go to die. 

But this £1 book section was impeccable. Shelf after shelf of humorous women's fiction, quirky characters written by women for women. I picked up Dawn French's "A tiny bit marvellous" and Camilla Morton's "How to walk in high heels" (I definitely needed that one, I'm like a baby giraffe in heels) and just as I was leaving, a title caught my eye. 

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.

I'd watched the movie and fallen in love with Rebecca Bloomwood, the ironic financial journalist with an addiction to shopping. I saw a lot of myself in her...maybe too much.

She was a 25 year old woman with serious credit card debt and while reading this book, I had a momentary fear for my future as a shopaholic. I'm only eighteen, but I was told constantly by my parents to never to get a credit card or I'd be spending money I definitely didn't have.

I'd walk past Chanel and come out in more debt than Greece. Exaggeration you say? I don't think so.

As I began reading, I started noticing patterns in her mind which had happened in mine, and although mine were sporadic, there were patterns I knew far too well. 

Let's just say I got halfway through the book and start working about my savings and personal spending for the next term.

However as fictional women with rejected cards do, Ms Bloomwood indeed ends up coming out on top. But I won't spoil it for you...

If you love a girly, pick me up novel then definitely pick up this book!

It is Joanna Christofi PR Girl approved! 

On another note, I am considering starting up a YouTube channel for vlogging of fashion and beauty events that I attend and different hauls and makeup tutorials. If it gets popular I may start giveaways! Let me know on my Instagram and Twitter if that's something you'd be interested in!

Again guys, thanks for reading!
