The Lottery Wishlist

Ever sit and dream what you would buy for yourself if you won the lottery? 

Don't worry, it's not selfish or silly - it's totes normal! So.....what would you buy if money was no object?

I thought it would be super fun to do a totally unaffordable wishlist, yup.... I really would love these beautiful things but... right now - it's not going to happen!

Ugg Classic Short Boots

I owned these until last week and I miss them already! The pair I had lasted for 7 years (amazing right?) but it was about time I said goodbye to them but I am already desperate for a new pair to replace them - if only I had £150 spare eh?

Zoeva Rose Gold Luxery Brush Set

I have the original set from Zoeva but these are just so so pretty - I think they are every bloggers dream!

ghd V Rose Gold Styler

I've had my ghd's for 10 years.... literally 10 years - I got them for Christmas 2004, so it's probably about time I invested in some new ones! These are again rose gold.... jeez I'm so cliche, but they are so pretty!

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner

I have been using the oil from this brand for over a year now and I love it... the only problem is the price! With my hair getting longer and using more and more each time I wash my hair it becomes expensive! Knowing how much I love the oil I would LOVE to try out the shampoo and conditioner versions!

Urban Decay Naked Vault

Could I be anymore cliche and blogger obvious? Yes it's sold out, and yes none of us could afford it but ..... I need it.

Mulberry Daria Wallet

With my Ted Baker purse slowly wearing away, a new pretty holder for my money and cards would be high up on my list after a lottery win! This wallet from Mulberry is a beaut!

Olivia Burton Powder Blue Watch

I've been staring at Olivia Burton watches online for months now - I love the pretty, dainty desgins!

A French Bulldog

I think you all know now that owning a French Bulldog is pretty much a lifelong dream of mine - top of the bucket list!

Charlotte Tilbury The Dolce Vita Look Gift Box

I am still yet to try anything from the infamous Charlotte Tilbury... and it's killing me! Everything I've seen on other blogs and youtube looks amazing so I would definitely have to invest in some!

If you won the lottery what would be some of your first things you'd treat yourself too?

Ralph Lauren 5150 : Sunglasses Shop

Now if you think that sunglasses are only for those summer months then you are seriously mistaken! 
That winter sun can be a totally blinding when it's out (it does happen I promise, it's not always doom and gloom), so having a good pair of sunglasses is definitely a priority of mine even if it's that advent calendar time of year!

Cat eye glasses have been storming the sunglasses scene this past year or so, with celebrity's and high street stores embracing the trend they have been everywhere!

Recently the SunglassesShop asked me if I would like to try one of their pairs of sunglasses, so of course I leaped at the chance!
 Like I said before, sunglasses are something I need all year round and I always like to have pair in my handbag..... just in case that cheeky little sun decides to pop it's head through the never-ending clouds!

These are the 5150 sunglasses from the fabulous Ralph Lauren in the shade - Tortoise Pink Plum and they are priced at £77.

I think sunglasses are one of the few things that I don't mind paying more than high-street prices for. Alot of sunglasses out there don't have the right amount of protection in the lenses and the fit can be a bit rubbish - so you always know when buying designer sunglasses they are going to be a higher quality!

I love the shape of these glasses, I'm a bit fussy when it comes to size as I feel like I have  huge head so need a fairly big frame to suit me and the shade of the lense is lovely too - I don't like it when they really see-through and you can see my beady eyes clearly!

Ralph Lauren 5150 Sunglasses*

Keep your eyes peeled on my instagram and twitter for more photos of these beauts - I wore them the other day and got some lovely compliments, I'm officially obsessed and praying for more sunshine this winter... I can't wait until next year to wear these more!

Make sure you check out SunglassesShop for a huge range of designer glasses at really reasonable prices - they could make the perfect Christmas present for someone.... your yourself!

#BoldInTheCold : Sightseeing In A Storm

Hello, hello, hello!

Today I have something a little bit different for you guys! I'm sharing with you lovely lot how YOU can win win win a fabulous holiday to Dubai for you and 3 friends from the awesome people at Virgin Holidays!

I myself have traveled with Virgin in the past so know first hand how amazing their service is, so to win a holiday for free would surely be a dream come true for most of you!

All you have to do to be in the chance of winning is Go BOLD IN THE COLD!

Yes, it's that easy! Just take part in something flaut-worthy this Winter, either photograph it or, if you're feeling extra creative, make a short video and then share it!

This can be anything from rocking a bikini in the snow to eating an ice cream on the beach in the rain to even swimming in the sea!

 Anything that can evoke the spirit of a summer holiday this winter can be classed as bolding it in the cold and all you have to do is share it on social media!

You never know you could be jetting off to an incredible summer holiday to Dubai with 3 of your besties before you know it!

As you can see from the photos above I was seriously brave and tackled a blooming horrible storm to do a spot of sightseeing on what should have been a beautiful sunny day in the fabulous city of San Francisco!

Even though I have never seen so much rain in my life there was noway that I was missing out on a once in a lifetime opportunity so I 'Bold In The Cold', hopped off the coach we were on and ventured onto the Golden Gate Bridge! 

Not one other person on that coach got off and explored like me and my best friend did, but we didn't care - we weren't going to miss out on this! 

So there we go - an example of bolding it in the cold, doing something summer holiday-esque in blooming chilly weather! 

Now there are so many things you could do to enter - it may have been something you've aleady done, like me, or head on out now and pretend it's August!

My Winter Essentials : Lip Balms

Can you believe it's December already? Advent has started - yay! and it's time for another 'Winter Essentials' post!

Lip balms I think are probably on the top of everyones list as a winter essential! Cold weather, air-con and windy wind make our lips chapped, dry and even a bit gross and flaky!

Here's 4 of my top picks for lip balms  - these save me from getting that awful trip-lip that we all dreaded as children.... you know what I mean right?

Vaseline - Limited Edition Queen Bee

Vaseline is a classic, I'm sure 99% of you either own one o these handy tins or have done in the past. This years limited edition is called 'Queen Bee' - I love the name and the packaing alike! The scent is honey... obvs and alot nicer than I was expecting - another one to add to my never ending collection of tins! 

Carmex with Jasmine Green Tea

Carmex is a product I have used for years and years so when I see they've bought out new version I always want to try them out. You may remember me sharing this on here a few months ago! I'm a huge Green Tea fan so this is a win win for me! (plus it's my Mum's fav!)

EOS Strawberry Lip Balm

I got this in Florida along with a blueberry version and they have become a huge favourite of mine! This is the lip balm that is currently in my hand bag! It's easy to apply, smells amazing and keeps my lips hydrated!

Nivea Blueberry Blush Lip Butter

Nivea Lip Butter's have been something I've raved about for months and months. They all smell amazing and are just as good as vaseline for keeping the lips chap-free, smooth and soft! A total bargain too at only £2.20ish each!

What are your favourite lip balms for this time of year?
