What's that? A video? Yes! I've finally uploaded new content to YouTube... shock horror! After watching alot of YouTube lately... and I mean alot I have slowly gained some confidence (ish) to upload a new video.... and hopefully this is just the start!
My favourite time of year is here again! Yes, it's time to reach for the gloves, over-do it with the knitwear and purchase 132 pairs of black boots that are ever so slightly different from one another... because, why not? I LOVE Autumn and Winter - mainly due to the fashion, I love wrapping up in a million layers and popping on a favourite pair of boots! Fashion this year is on point so I thought I'd share with you lovely lot the bits I'm ordering, popping into my saved items/wishlist and pretty much just drooling over! #prayformybankaccount
30. Gold Musk & Chocolate Velvet Candle (At the time of creating this post all of these items under £5 or under - these prices may change before Christmas day.)

I have literally been having it every lunchtime - they are so yummy.... I definitely don't think I've been sticking to the recommended 30g portion either, opps.
Taylor Swift Taylor Perfume
I used to wear this perfume all the time but my bottle ran out months ago now. So I was so overwhelmed when I friend of mine treated me to a 100ml bottle that they had lying around. I've been wearing it daily for work - such a lovely fresh scent this is going to last for ages too!
Being Organised
As you may have noticed - when it comes to blogging I have done a totally 360 this past fortnight.
After a couple of months of being totally stuck and in a rut I feel like I'm in my blogging groove again and I have loved being so organised and on top of things lately.
Blueberries
I can't stop eating them. I just wish they weren't like £2 per punnet!
Scream the TV Series
I started watching this when it first came out earlier this year, but once my handy online source went down (naughty naughty) I kind of left it and thought maybe I'd watch it somewhere else one day. Well that day came as it's only gone and been put onto UK Netflix! I'm onto episode 7 I think and I'm loving it - I'm such a fan of the Scream series so it's cool to see a new take on it.
River Island Pom Pom Beanie
You may have spotted this on my Instagram last week - I bought this cute little beanie from ASOS and I LOVE it! I can't wait for cosy winter evenings when I can just chuck this on not have to worry about my birds nest hair!
Beauty & The Beast Nightie
Yes, it's so cute isn't it! I got this from New Look a couple of weeks ago and have been living it in each evening - I just wish I'd had it throughout the summer because right now it's a bit chilly to wear it on it's own!
Bold Lavender & Chamomile Washing Liquid Haha - this is sad isn't it? But I just really like how it makes my washing smell AND it was on offer #winwin Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On
I've been using this on days that I haven't been putting any make-up on and it has given my under eyes such a refreshed feeling. Bye bye bags and puffiness, I'm always so impressed with Botanics products.

Being a reality TV show whore I cannot believe I haven't started watching this sooner - I am obsessed. Like crazy obsessed! This show is awesome - I am currently watching season 1 and season 4 at the same time and I'm sure it won't be long until I'm totally caught up! I LOVE the Bella Twins - girl crush overload!
Holly Madison - Down The Rabbit Hole
I've mentioned this a few times over the last few weeks. I was a huge fan of Girls Next Door and a big fan of Holly - I met her in Vegas and she was lovely! As soon as this book was announced I was counting down the days until I could get my mitts on it! It is soooo interesting, you really do see the other side of Playboy and the famous mansion! I haven't finished it yet, purely because I don't want it to end so I'm making it last for a little while longer! If you want to know all the inside goss I suggest you go grab this while you can! I got my hardback cover from Amazon :)
Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Perfume
You may have seen my post yesterday about this new perfume in my life! New signature scent - I'm in love! (Review here!)
L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara
Ooooo something else I've done a review on recently! I have used this every single day since buying it - it is brilliant for my short stumpy lashes and used alongside my eyelash curlers this really does help to make a big difference! (full review here)
Touch Of Silver Hairspray
After trying out some new do's recently (like here) I've been using alot more hairspray than usual! I want to start wearing my hiar up more so that it grows faster - last time I grew my hair avoiding heat was the best way! This hairspray is amazing! It feels so light and smells amazing (a little like Aussie) - everything I try from this brand is just perfect for my hair!
Ru Paul What's The Tee? Podcast
I have become a total lover of podcasts and Ru Paul's What's The Tee? has been making my journeys to and from work a whole lot better! Not only do Ru and Michelle make me full on LOL whilst walking down the road but they have such much wise life advice that I love taking in!
Crunchy Nut Chocolate Granola
Jesus Christ someone needs to take this stuff away from me. I honestly think I could sit and eat the whole bag in one sitting.
Disney Pixar's - Lava
If any of you have been to see Inside Out yet you would have been greeted with this super cute Pixar short before the film began. I fell in love with it - the song makes me so so happy.
Simple Illuminating Radiance Cream
I've been using this stuff for the past couple of weeks instead of a primer and I have been loving my skin! It works just as well as a primer and leaves me with a lovely - non-shiny/greasy glow! IT's still half price at Boots at the moment - try it out girls you won't be disappointed!
New Look Platform Sandals
Did someone say new shoes? You may have spotted these in my OOTD for the Southampton Bloggers meet up on my Instagram (here) - they were literally the most comfy shoes and even though I felt a little tall compared to some of the girls in flats I loved how they looked with my skirt and top combo... and the best thing?! They are only £12 in the sale - here!
What have you been loving lately?

Why yes that is me - and yes I am wearing glasses, you like?
When I was asked if I'd like to try out a new pair of glasses from Glasses Direct - I jumped at the chance. It's been a loooong time since I picked out new frames and the ones I did have were so dated and made me look like a 46 year old librarian ..... they really weren't great. So being able to try something completely new and giving myself a new look had me really excited! I knew I wanted to go for something a bit bigger than my previous frames, I have a big face (yes I can except it.) so small glasses just don't really do me any favours! I ended up going with the London Retro Piccadilly frames which you can see below in all their glory :)
Glasses Direct are a fantastic website for both men and woman and have a huge range of designers to choose from. It's also great for someone like me who is a little bit fussy and wants things just right - so to help you pick your favourite pair they offer a fab Free 7 day trial. (genius!) Just pick 4 frames you like the look of and GD will send them out to you within 2 days. You can then try them out for real, pick your favourite and the order them! Easy peasy and no awkward ordering and regretting!
I am absolutely loving these from London Retro and definitely think I made the right choice with Piccadilly! They are plain black which I love as they go with everything (unlike my previous red things!) and I love the slight cat eye style. I was also really intruiged to see that London Retro have teamed up with designer Nicholas King to create a limited edition range! This range of statement eyewear is to support the worldwide eye care charity Orbis - who you can find out more about right here. Anything that helps a charity out is all good in my books, especially when you're getting something awesome for yourself at the same time, the range is available exclusively at Glassesdirect.co.uk and all profits will be donated to the wonderful people at Orbis.
So... what do you think of my new look?

Hello you lovely lot :) I'm back again with another fashion based post, I'm finding them alot more fun than I used too you know! With the sun creeping in and out of our lives at the moment it's a struggle to know what to wear from one day to the next which is a total pet peeve of mine! As soon as I see the sun and I'm not at work I love being able to head to my wardrobe and pick out something fun and colourful. I am LOVING kimono's at the moment, I'm not overly confident with my body just right now so I find them so comfortable. The 'mom' jeans are a pair I got in the sale a few months ago and I have really been enjoying owning and wearing something that isn't 'skinny' styled. Also how gorgeous is this necklace? The lovely people at Jewel Street contacted me a little while ago about their site and after spending hours browsing through everything I decided to go for this cute pineapple pendant from Florelli and I'm so pleased with it. I'm a big fan of gold and I know I'm going to be wearing this alot over the Summer, it's a great length too which is always good. I've been wearing it alot with my roll neck top aswell and it goes so well!

Well it's been a while since I uploaded a fashion based post and even though this month marks my 2nd whole year of blogging, it still makes me nervous! Putting my whole self out there is a little bit daunting but I really like doing them so I just have to be brave and hit publish!
Playsuits are a big love of mine, I'm not the skinniest of girls but I feel like they can be really flattering when you have a right style.
This floral beaut is from The Fashion Bible and it is one of their limited edition pieces! I dyed my hair pink earlier this week and popped a photo up on twitter and I think I had just as many tweets about the playsuit I was wearing as I did the hair change!
When I first looked at it I was so in two minds regarding the cut out section.... my boobs aren't my best feature so having them on show isn't something I do....ever... but I was off out with the girls for a few drinks so thought - why not!
I'm not overly confident with my body and it's still a bit bloomin' chilly here so I decided to pair it with some black tights and my favourite lace up black boots. (which I have soooo over-worn but I can't help it... I love them.)
I LOVE the pattern so much, although it's a dark floral it still has those bright pretty colours to help it fit into the Spring season. The fit (size M) is perfect for me, I'm a size 10-12 and it feels really comfy, it is quite short for me (I'm around 5 8") but the floaty material hides this, thank goodness!

I am so so happy this has been picked up by ITVbe! I love Kendra and have done since watch GOTPBM back in the day and when I was in the US last year I saw this season being advertised and was dying to watch. There's only been 1 episode so far so if you want to start watching go and do it now - it's on itvplayer which is a lifesaver for me as I normally go to bed at 10ish on a Monday night due to work!
Rimmel Good To Glow Highlighter
Another new product from Rimmel now - I've brought, what seems, quite a few lately! I have been using this highlighter non-stop since picking it up and am planning to do a blog post all about it very soon so keep your eyes peeled!
St. Moriz Dark Mousse
I can be quite a wimp when it comes to tanning - I'm always paranoid I'm going to look horrendous! I've used St. Moriz for years and earlier this week I used the Dark mousse tan. The results were awesome - I love this stuff!
Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Finale
Well if you follow me on twitter/facebook/know me you will know just how excited I was for the last episode of Season 5 this week! I literally got up and watched it at 6am - what is wrong with me? I even switched off the internet on my phone so I couldn't go online and see any spoilers! I know lots of people are frustrated by it all but I just love it and cannot wait for season 6! We STILL have no many unanswered questions!!
Couch to 5km App
My best friend and I started this this week, It's an app from the NHS which helps you to go from coach potato to running a 5k with ease! You do 3 runs a week and it builds you up slowly, so for instance the first ones you run for 1 minute and then walk for 90 seconds and repeat! At the moment I'm finding it easier but I'm sure as time goes on I'll be struggling!
The Chop
I finally did it! I got my locks chopped off! Eeek! It's definitley going to take a while to get used too! If you want to see I've uploaded a few pictures to my instagram.
New Look Black Platform Heels
It came to my attention recently that I had literally chucked like alla of my heels away (I know... who am I?!) so I ordered these from New Look online. They are plain black so I know they will be perfect for many an outfit and after wearing them on a night out I can confirm they are super comfy!
MAC Lipliner - Whirl
The most awesome shade to go with Velvet Teddy - I love this beauty.
New Dressing Gown
Finally we have my new dressing gown! I actually got this from the Teen section on New Look's website. I always look on there as the sizes actually come up really big! This was ONLY £5 in the sale and it is sooooo soft, I love it!

YAY! I got to see Katy again this past week. You might remember I went to the tour back in May 2014 and last week I hoped on a plane to Germany to go and see it again! This was the 5th time I've seen Katy and have to say she was better than ever! I had so so much fun and I'm so sad it's over! Thank you KP!
Neal & Wolf Silk* & Elevate
These products are my total holy grail at the moment. Elevate makes my hair so soft and sooth and Silk (the newest in my hair routine) is a fabulous blow-drying lotion which I feel like I've used so much over the last few weeks! Having long hair makes me more prone to wash, dry and style when going out, so this is a must! .... I'm considering cutting my hair short - thoughts please?
Make-Up Revolution Kohl & Flick*
This is a product that I had sat in a draw for so long and only discovered recently. I think it's a known fact that I am pants at eyeliner. I always used to stay clear as my eyes are so small and I thought it made them even smaller but I want to be able to do fabulous cat eye flicks so I have started practising with this and it is such a brilliant eyeliner. Plus it's super cheap!
Naked Palette
My palette collection seems to have tripled over the last few months so picking one to sit down and do my make-up with each time I want a snazzy smokey eye is becoming a slight challenge. Recently I picked up my ultimate fav... the original Naed palette from Urban Decay and fell back in love. I found a fab tutorial on youtube to use and really loved the outcome.
Sensodyne True White
New toothpaste alert! I spotted this in my local Boots and had to pick it up.... even those it has a painful price tag of £7.99! I love sensodyne toothpastes, I suffer from sensitive teeth so anything that helps that plus whitens my teeth is a winner for me. So far I've really enjoyed using it.
New Look Mom Jeans
I have finally ventured out of the world of skinny jeans... I know it's a miracle! I'd actually been eyeing these up on New Look's website for a few months so when they went into the sale I nabbed them straight away... for only £10! I wore them to Germany last week and they are so comfortable... although I got a size 12 and they are a little baggy I am so pleased with them and think they are going to get alot of wear during the upcoming Spring months!
Love, Rosie
I watched this on a whim yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised by how much I fell in love with it. Lily Collins is a favourite of mine and her English accent was awesome - so impressed! The story made me laugh out loud and want to sit and cry, such great chemistry with all the cast and a great story... I actually think I'm going to buy it on DVD!
MAC Cinderella Royal Ball Lipstick
Why hello lipstick that I've waiting for for what seems like months on end! The Cinderella collection was finally available online last week and I had all of 60 seconds to grab something as it was at the end of my work break when it went live. It was safe to say that I panic bought and only managed to get a lipstick.... which sucked! (But at last I got something eh!) This is a gorgeous nude and I am obsessed with the packaging - super pretty!

Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days but I've been away in Germany so have been super busy and you know... sometimes actual life comes before blogging #sorry! Three friends and I went to Berlin Thursday - Saturday and had the best time, we actually went to see Katy Perry on her Prismatic World Tour (again) but also found time to do lots of sight-seeing whilst there too, which was great! Today's post is just a quick outfit post of 3 of the outfits I wore when there, I'd put up a few photos on both Twitter and Instgram and actually had a few people ask me where things are from so I thought why not pop it into a post for you all!
Sorry the photos aren't that in depth, I'll be honest and say my blog wasn't the first thing on my mind when away - which was actually really nice as I normally put way too much pressure on myself so it was good to just relax and enjoy everything while I was there - so the photos are just quick shots but hopefully you can get the jist and see everything!
