Bonmarche Summer 2014 Swimsuit Review
The other week I was contacted by Bonmarche, they offered me the chance to review something from their current summer range. Although I’m not going abroad to somewhere where I will need to wear a swimsuit until April, I’m always on the look out for bits and pieces to put away, as the shops will still be stocked with winter wear when I’m on the hunt for shorts and t-shirts! So of course, the chance to review a swimsuit did seem inciting and after a quick browse I saw the perfect one for my first hot holiday post baby. Black Spot Print Detail Swimdress* £22, Bonmarche The lovely people at…

We’re All The Boss with GiffGaff, My Boss Story
When I was contacted earlier this month about the We’re All The Boss campaign by GiffGaff, I was instantly on board as I think it will make such an interesting lifestyle blog post. For the first time in my whole life, I am 100% my own boss. Not just in regards to working from home, but I control my life completely. This is a huge deal for me and at first I was terrified I’d hate it, hate having no one else to make decisions for me.. but I have to admit, I love it. Before this home I had a home with a boyfriend, then an ex student rental…

Brand of the Month – Disney Couture
I’ve been wanting to do this particular brand as a Brand of the Month for a while now, but I couldn’t decide between having it as simply Disney Couture or Disney as a whole. However, after having a look around my house, I decided doing Disney as a whole would be a massive post, so instead i’ve gone for a rather big post about Disney Couture instead. I have been a long standing fan of Disney Couture now since the brand was available to buy in the UK. Over the years I’ve managed to build up a nice collection of 9 pieces and I have to admit they’re definitely the…
