Conquering Curvy: Things I Wish Fashion Magazines Would Stop Telling Me

I'm back again with another Conquering Curvy post. This time though, instead of showing you some curvy friendly outfits, I am going to talk to you all about fashion magazines. Like most young women, I read a hell of a lot of fashion magazines. I've had subscriptions to Elle, Vogue, Company and I am partial to a free Stylist every now and again. I love them all from their thought-provoking features to their beauty tips and look books. However, one feature that seems to come up a little bit too much for my liking is the "how to dress for your body type". Well, I don't know about you but I am sick of it and I thought that the best way to vent out these frustrations would be to talk to you all about them.

Fashion Kick Catwalk*

This weekend I was lucky enough to attend London Fashion Kick. For those of you who don't know London Fashion Kick is basically a fashion project that helps designers, fashion houses or any other fashion professionals market themselves through events like the one I attended.

Conquering Curvy: The Boutique of Molly Edit*

So welcome, to my first Conquering Curvy fashion edit. In this edit I am specifically going to be talking about a fabulous brand called Boutique of Molly. Firstly, let me give you a little bit of background on them.

I first came across this brand when I saw the stunning Lauren from Sahara Splash in the Tara Tunic. I then went on to explore the site and came across two playsuits I thought would be perfect for my Conquering Curvy edits.

First Impression Fridays Featuring Urban Decay

I haven't purchased much this past month, mainly because I am in the process of saving up. However, I did purchase the limited edition Urban Decay X Alice in Wonderland eye-shadow palette. I have wanted this palette ever since I saw it advertised on Twitter about two months ago and I can tell you it really does live up to my expectations.

Nu Skin Blogger's Event*

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Nu Skin press day in London to view all of their latest skincare and make-up products. Nu Skin is an American brand which was founded in 1984 on the premise of anti-ageing. However now, they have branched out in make-up, bath and body lotions, aromatic products and even dietary supplements.

Ioma Lip Lift Review*

Do you all remember the ridiculous Kylie Jenner challenge? Yup. That happened. The things people do to get that desirable , voluptuous, killer pout. But what if I could tell you that you could get considerably fuller lips without stuffing your mouth into a shot glass and potentially rupturing your capillaries?

Berry Pomeroy Castle Photo Diary

I have been going through all of my photographs that I took on my holiday to Devon. There are still so many! I've already done a Dartmoor and Dartmouth photography post. But this week I am going to be showing you my photographs from visiting Berry Pomeroy Castle. It's a fascinating place with so much history. If you're ever in the Devon area I would seriously recommend going. However it is in the middle of nowhere so if you don't have a car it would be pretty hard to get to.

Going On A Skincare Journey With Ioma Paris*

If you know me then you know that I am crazy about skincare. Wherever I go I can guarantee that I'll have some sort of serum or moisturiser in my bag and whenever I go away on holiday my loved ones echo "all of that is for your skin?!". Why yes, yes it is. I am a self-proclaimed skincare junkie which comes with it perks and of course downfalls. That's why when I was offered to visit the Ioma Paris counter in Harrods for a skin diagnosis I couldn't resist.

Dartmoor Photo Diary

Hello there, I'm back again with another photo diary from my holiday to Devon. If you missed the other photo diary in this series, it was entitled Dartmouth photo diary. This post is going to be all about Dartmoor national park. If you have never been I highly recommend going. Myself and my partner spent the whole day there hiking and climbing tors. It took quite a bit of effort which you will see in an upcoming video on my YouTube channel but it was well worth the views from the top.

Hello there!Welcome back to another first impression Friday. This month I don't have too much to show you, mainly because I am trying my best to save some money (If you have any tips please share them down below, I need all the help I can get!). Anyway I have three beauty products to show you all that I have tried and tested throughout the month and here they are...

Dartmouth Photo Diary

Hello! My blog has been pretty dominated by photo diaries lately (Im sorry!). Actually I'm not because, as bad as they may be, I really love taking photographs. I especially love taking photographs of places I've never been before. That's why when I went on holiday to Devon recently I couldn't resist capturing the breath-taking landscapes.
