I was really impressed with all the entries to my recent giveaway with Smart Buy Glasses, but there could only be one winner,
and that winner was….
*drum roll*
you can see her entry, entitled “Pre-Holiday Blues” here, I can’t wait to see what she chooses!
Congratulations Lou,
and a big thank you to Smart Buy Glasses for running this.

It seems with the rubbish weather we’ve had lately my lustings for pretty sandals and impractical shoes have been washed away and replaced with something entirely more sensible.
This week my Sarenza shoe of the week goes to these frankly stunning Chuck Taylor Speciality Ox in Silver priced at £68. I think what swung it for me was the baby pink laces against the Silver textile shoe…pricey for Converse perhaps, but these aren’t just your average Converse and will see you through all kinds of variable weather.
Are you a fan of Converse? What shoes have you been living in lately?

One of the best and worst parts of blogging is finding awesome new places to shop; best because, well, I just said it…worst because my budget does not match my desire.

Apologies for the shocking photos that are to follow (reason number one why I am not a beauty blogger/you should always read your camera instructions)
I also recieved The Balm Bronzer Powder Compact- Betty Lou Manizer, £17.99. Reason number two why I am not a beauty blogger is that I have never in my life tried Bronzer before; I am infact scared of it.
As with Hot Mama the texture of this is a dream, an utter dream, and the colour pay-off is impressive; the photo above is one gentle finger swipe worth of colour! It was trial and error getting this to work for my beyond the pale skin but with a light hand and some careful buffing I think I managed admirably for a first attempt
I think both of these products will really come in to their own once I have had the benefit of some Spanish sun to lessen the bright whiteness of my skin; most of the time I love being pale, but sometimes I find it really, really hard work! That aside I really rate these products, and the colour payoff, retro packaging and luxury feel makes them worth every penny of their price tag.
Have you tried The Balm before?
And PLEASE PLEASE give me bronzer/general makeup advice!

Being Mid-June and so say in Summer, I thought last weekend was long enough to have delayed packing away the chunky jumpers and bringing forth some of my Summer wardrobe.
Clearly this was a big mistake as ever since, I’ve been looking mournfully at the clothes hanging in my wardrobe and trying desperatley to work out what exactly I can wear without risking hypothermia.
This dress once again came to my rescue. I call it “old faithful” and bought it at least five years ago from Asda George for not very much money at all.
I have nearly got rid of it several times, but each time I drag it out I remember why I haven’t, I think it’ll be one of those dresses I’m still wearing when I’m eighty.
Even with a cardigan added I was freezing at work yesterday, and it seems S.A.D. may be making itself a year round affliction…
What in your wardrobe has stood the test of time? How are you coping with this miserable weather?
Enter my giveaway for a chance to cheer yourself up with a new bag; I wish I could send everyone a little something in the post to make them smile!
