Holiday Essentials!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week I want to share with you all of my holiday essentials, from shoes and accessories to skincare and beauty, I’m going to give you a run down of it all!

Packing for a holiday can be really stressful so I like to make sure I make a list and include everything I want, I also try to plan all of my outfits so I’m not just chucking random things in!

Let’s start with clothes and accessories-

  1. A maxi dress- can easily be turned from a daytime to night out by changing your shoes!
  2. Playsuits- save space on packing and makes getting dressed super easy
  3. A black or white bikini- perfect to throw under any coverup
  4. Flat sandals- a pair that you can wear for days out and for dinner in the evening
  5. A pair of wedges or heeled sandals- for those nights you want to look extra glam!
  6. A big beach bag- perfect for holiday all of your pool/beach essentials (highly recommend my girl FAB Designs for bespoke beach bags)
  7. Clutch bag- one that matches every outfit you take!
  8. Hoops- hoop earrings can glam any outfit up!!

On to skincare and beauty products!

  1. Suncream & aftersun- these are a must to protect your skin, use a higher SPF on your face for extra protection
  2. The Fox tan spray and lotion- can’t recommend these enough for deepening your tan
  3. A hydrating face mist- always good to have to cool you down!
  4. Aloe vera gel- this is perfect for almost everything (including sun burn)
  5. A body scrub
  6. A hair mask- the sun always dries out hair so prevent it by taking a hair mask with you! Garnier do tester size ones which are perfect for traveling with!

My Designer Wish List!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week I thought I’d share with you my dream designer purchases, they aren’t in any particular order but these are the things I would love to buy in the future.

First up is the classic Chanel bag, I’m not sure what size I would like but I have always wanted to own one. An iconic bag, perfect for any outfit!chanel bag

Staying with bags, I have always loved Louis Vuitton and from a very young age have dreamed of owning Louis Vuitton luggage in particular the Keepall 60. I don’t want a suitcase as I would be worried about it being damaged at airports!

My final bag I would love to own is the Prada Galleria bag, another classic, which I would use as my work bag (when I graduate and get a job!)

Onto shoes, I have 3 pairs of designer shoes I would love to own and the brands they are from are Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin.

From Jimmy Choo I would love a nude pair of Romy 85’s, a sensible height and classic style!

From Christian Louboutin, Fifi Patent 100, again classic and perfect for every outfit from day to night!

A less practical shoe but there was a reason Carrie Bradshaw loves them, Manolo Blahnik create classic styles with added bling, basically my dream shoe! The style I love is Olek in black- simple, classy and elegant!

Prada Shoe’s

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls!

Today I’m going to be reviewing and telling you all about my Prada Shoes!

These were my first proper pair of designer shoes, I have several pairs from good quality brands such as Kurt Geiger but I was super excited when I finally purchased these classic beauties. So let me tell you all about them!

The Shoes

These are the black round toe heels with a 10.5cm/4inch heel with a little platform. I ordered them online which was risky and as I am between a size 4 and 5 (37/38) I went for a 37.5(4.5). They are a little bit big so I have put an insole in them and they are fine so I would definitely recommend getting a smaller size. They are black leather with the classic beige sole and gold Prada logo on the sole.

Price

The shoes retail for £495, which I know is a lot by on the lower end of price range for high end designer shoes. I bought them as a 18th birthday present to myself and decided to see if I could save a little bit of money and after some searching I was successful. I ordered my shoes from secretsales.com for £295 which I was super happy with. If you have been lusting after an item that is out of reach due to the price tag I would 100% recommend looking on secretsales.com as I could not fault their service, especially when I was worried they wouldn’t arrive in time to wear for my party and I sent them an email. They responded by upgrading my delivery free of charge!

What i found inside

Comfort

The shoes have such soft leather and are very comfortable as the heel is not ridiculously high and they have a little platform. I have tried on Louboutins in the past and found for the price that the leather was hard and the shoes were super uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend Prada or Jimmy Choo as a first pair of designer shoes if you are a shoe lover!
