January Favourites 2017

Here are the products I have been loving this month.

I have used so many different fragrances this month, but I have used Vivienne Westwood's Let It Rock three or four times. It's a lovely, warming, spicy scent.

I have been using this Sanctuary Spa moisture rich foot butter. It is quite thick and has a lovely scent. I have yet to find a Sanctuary Spa product that I don't like.

I have been wearing my bunny print scarf a lot this month. I got it from Oasis a while ago and I love the colour and the print.

I have rediscovered this non-retractable lipstick from Avon in the colour Reddy To Go. It is really easy to apply and lasts on my lips.

I won't pretend that I don't still love my EOS lip balms most of all but I have had this Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean lip balm by my bed and I'm pretty pleased with it.

I bought this Ansoka Green Grass candle from Ikea a while ago. I have been burning it this month and it smells amazing.

I have been loving Dead Sea Spa Magik's Salt Brushing. It has a lovely fresh, citrusy scent. It is a great exfoliator and it contains coconut oil to help hydrate the skin. I would definitely buy this again.

I have been wearing my silver one carat aquamarine pendant a lot this month. I love the colour. It just has a hint of blue. I love the simplicity of the design. I also have the ring to match.

The Best Gift Sets From This Month!

Here are a few of the gift sets I received this month for my birthday. I love raiding the shelves in Boots for gift sets in January. You can get some great deals!

I love Impulse. I have had these minis a few times before in gift sets. I love the design of the tin. True Love is my favourite of the three scents. The mini sprays are really handy for travelling or smaller handbags. I carry the full size 75ml Impulse spray in my normal handbag as it is huge.

How amazing is this Hidden Gems gift set. It has a miniature Versace Bright Crystal perfume. I have the full size bottle which has featured in my favourites posts in the past. I love the Tangle Teezer as well and I was considering buying one with a lid just before Christmas. The nail polishes are great. The Nails Inc polish is clear. I look forward to trying the make-up items as well! I find this set has such a great variety of items.

I love this Ted Baker gift set. It comes with 2 body lotions, 2 body washes, a hand lotion and 2 bubble baths. I also have the body sprays to match. They are really nice. I love the rose gold detail on the packaging. 

I love Soap and Glory. Their original scent is gorgeous and I'm impressed with the variety in this gift set. The Scrub Of Your Life is my favourite Soap And Glory product.

Irregular Choice - The Good And The Ugly

I often like to check on the Irregular Choice website to see what they are coming out with. They have a variety of good, bad and ugly shoes at the minute.

I will start with the good..

I really like the colouring on these versions of Hello Ha. I think I prefer the ones with the metallic blue bow.

Lazy River is a really cute design. The pink ones are so bold!

Curtain Call in grey and black is a really nice design with a lovely chunky heel. I love that Irregular Choice are bringing out more chunky heeled shoes. These are very wearable!

I have had my eye on Aurora for a while. These purple ones are lovely. The design is fairly simple, but they still make a statement with the flowers across the front.

The white Lazy River shoes are really cute as well. The iridescent shine is really pretty bringing out pinks, purples and blues. These would be really easy to style.

I love this Peach Melba design with the textured fabric and pretty coloured flowers on the front.

The Lazy River design also comes in green. I think these are really cute. I love shoes with t-bars or Mary Jane straps and bow on the front makes them extra cute.


Now for the ugly...

I actually quite like this Worship design although I can see why some people would find it ugly. I like the chunky heel as well as the over the top bow on the front.

Dreamkiss are some of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. I'm not a fan of shoes being made to look like animals and the unicorn head on the front is awful. The tail on the back of the shoes adds to the tackiness. I'm not a fan of these ones.

Gimme Five are this outrageously designed pair of boots. I actually think I'd like to own these because I'd be interested to see how I'd style them. I don't think they're that bad, just incredibly over the top.

I also quite like this High Hopes design. They look quite old fashioned and the chunky heel enhances that, but I think they're quite cool.

Pretty Poodle is not a pretty design if you ask me. They are easily the ugliest of the lot. They are that awful shade of pink that is neither bright nor pale and with a giant poodle on the front they are the definition of tacky. I'm sorry to anyone who likes them, but I don't!

Lovingly Gazing are another design that I think is frankly awful. The style is not for me, the pattern just doesn't look good and the pink bow is just the icing on the cake. I wonder if anyone in the world thinks these are the best shoes ever designed. I doubt it to be honest.


There are always Irregular Choice shoes that aren't up my street, but other people may think that about their designs that I like. It's always fun to check out their latest designs at www.irregularchoice.com

Louboutin Decisions!

Happy New Year! 

In 2017 I'd love to add another pair of Louboutin's to my shoe collection! I have had my eye on a few different pairs recently for the past few months.

Top of my list are this gorgeous pair. I've had my eye on them since November. They are so gorgeous.

They also come in this stunning sparkly style!

They are just perfect! I love them so much! The black trim look amazing on the sparkly ones!

They have more lovely designs. I think I have included these chunky heels in a previous post. I love chunky heels.

I like these black heels with the gold trim as well.

These black ones with patent lace trim are gorgeous as well. They also make them in grey/white. I don't like the grey/white design as much but I think the design shows better in the photograph of the white pair.

I kind of need those chunky heels. I really wanted the navy ones with the animal print heel, but now I think I want the sparkly ones! Decisions! I hope I get some!
