OCTOBER FAVOURITES

I can't quite believe that October has already come and gone and I'm already buying Christmas presents, eek! Not that I'm complaining, I'm so excited for Christmas this year, it'll be the first Christmas that I'm not at work for three years and I plan on making the most of it - which will probably mean eating far too much food and watching as many Christmas films as possible! I'm getting a little ahead of myself here - can you tell I'm excited?! - so for now let's calm down and talk about what I was loving in the month of October.

FASHION: POINTED BOOTS

 Office Feline Padded Zip Boots

It's that time of year again. The wind, rain and freezing cold is creeping in and before we know it the dreaded 'S' word will be upon us - snow that is. This impending weather means but one thing - boot season! But quite frankly, do I need an excuse to buy another pair of boots?

MARY PORTAS: SHOP GIRL

Last week I went to see Mary Portas talk about her life, from growing up in Watford to working in the glamorous world of Harvey Nichols and Harrods. I've always enjoyed watching her TV shows, particularly 'Mary's Bottom Line' - her passion for what she believes in is contagious.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BARE MINERALS COMPLEXION RESCUE

As you may have seen from my previous face of the week look, you can read all about that here, I'm not really one for base products. Anything heavy on my skin makes me feel weirdly claustrophobic - it's odd, I know - so a lot of the time I stick to concealer on it's own. Last weekend I took a trip to London to celebrate my birthday and I felt like wearing a bit more make up, so out came the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream.
