Q&A A Day - £10.49 This is such a lovely idea for someone who loves the thought of keeping a journal, but doesn't have the commitment or time to write a long passage every day. Each page has a quick question ranging from 'What is your favourite accessory?' to 'What is your mission?'. The best part is that the journal lasts five years, so you can look back on how your answers have changed.

Sensational Deluxe Gel Starter Kit - £55 I had this last year for Christmas and have absolutely loved using it all year. It's perfect for someone like me who, when using regular polish, chips her nails within five minutes of painting them. I found when I've used this my polish has lasted almost two weeks - and considering how much you pay for one gel manicure in a salon this set is a bargain!

Bunny Rabbit Cotton Wool Holder - £10 I spotted this in Boots whilst Christmas shopping a few weeks back. It's would look adorable on a dressing table and makes something as boring as cotton wool cute!

Meow Christmas Phone Case - £8 Not much needs to be said about this one, it's just so cute, and who can resist a novelty phone case?

Ciate Haute House - £22 This is a lovely little gift set. The packaging is so well thought out and pretty which just makes it so much nicer. The colours are all perfect for the party season and I for one would love to unwrap this!

Polka Dot PJs - £19.99 Pyjamas make the perfect Christmas present, I don't know anyone who doesn't look forward to getting pretty new pjs at Christmas time, and this set is super pretty.

Flamingo Candle - £11 I've only recently discovered Flamingo Candles - and I'm already obsessed. The scents are amazing and the gorgeous packaging makes them a perfect Christmas present. My personal favourite is the Pomegranate and White Fig scent but if you wanted more of a festive choice then Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon Explosion sounds amazing.

Bleach London Spin the Bleach Bottle - £12 This is such a cool idea, if you know someone who loves experimenting with hair colours this would be the perfect gift.

And, for the boys... 

Grey Knitted Scarf - £20 I think a scarf always makes a great Christmas gift - you know it's something that's definitely going to get a lot of wear living in England.

Magnetic Gadget Holder - £6.99 This is such a clever little idea for someone who struggles to find a phone holder that sits in the right place on the dashboard (trust me, this has been an ongoing complaint from my boyfriend). You stick a magnetic strip on the back of your phone, satnav, or anything else you want on your dashboard, and then stick the 'hub' disc on any surface that takes your fancy.

Wash Bag - £20 For someone who travels or stays away regularly a new wash bag is a really useful gift. This ASOS one is the perfect size for the essentials.

Apple TV - £79 Allowing you to access iTunes as well as the likes of Netflix and YouTube from your TV, this is a popular Christmas gift this year. Half of the reason I want to buy this is because I know I'll get just as much use out of it as him!

Hudson Tan Boots - £110 For the shoe lover these boots would be a great gift. Smart, but not too smart for day time wear, I know a lot of people that would get tons of wear from these.

Wallet - £25 A wallet is a fail-safe gift for men. Something that everyone uses, a new one is always going to be appreciated.

Daniel Wellington Watch - £179 I am literally in love with this watch. It's such a classic style and I know a lot of people who would be seriously pleased to receive this.

Liz Earle for Men Cleanse & Polish - £14.99 Anyone else notice their cleanser being used at double the rate whenever their boyfriend is around? I know I do, so I'm using Christmas as the perfect opportunity to get him his own so I don't have to share anymore!

That rounds up my choice of last minute Christmas gifts, I hope this has made Christmas shopping just that tiny bit easier for some of you!

As much as I'm determined to hold on to summer for as long as possible, I can't help but get excited for the colder, autumn weather. I'm definitely a summer person, but autumn has got to be a close second, I love all the excitement surrounding Halloween, Bonfire Night and the run up to Christmas! These are a few bits I've had my eye on for the coming months!

A few weeks ago I posted this 'How To Wear Pink - Wishlist' featuring some bloggers wearing outfits that had inspired me to create the wishlist. I really enjoyed writing it, so I started collecting images of bloggers wearing another trend I love - white blazers.
I think white blazers can look so classy and fresh. They're perfect for dressing up jeans and a t-shirt and look amazing with neon colours! I've made a collage of things I'd wear with a white blazer, inspired by the lovely outfits above!

I know Valentine's Day is a controversial holiday, and a lot of people don't like it, but I personally love it! I can't say I ever have or ever will go all out lovey dovey let's skip and hold hands, but I quite like the thought of just reminding someone you're thinking of them with a little gift.
I put together this gift guide, it's probably (definitely) more suitable for girls, the kind of thing you could give to a sister or friend.

1 & 3 - Press on nails. I've noticed a lot of cute press on nail designs lately, these are two that stood out to me. The first set is from Ted Baker, and has a really lovely floral design. The second set, from Elegant Touch, are a lot simpler, but just as lovely!

2 - Homemade cakes/cookies/anything. I think baking or cooking something is a really nice Valentine's gift idea. The thought and effort that goes into making something homemade says a lot, and is a really nice way to show you care.

4 & 5 - Lush Love Locket and Close To You. I always love Lush's Valentine's offerings, and was sad to see they didn't bring back Frog Prince this year! These two kind of make up for it though, Close To You smells lovely and Love Locket fills the bath with heart confetti, what's not to like?

6 - These mugs are so sweet, they say "I love your face (and the rest of you too)". Some might say these are a bit sickly sweet but I find them quite funny, plus you can never have enough mugs!

7 - I love candles, and find an excuse to use them as a gift for every holiday! Pink Sands is a sweet, fresh scent which would be appropriate right through to Spring! I haven't smelt Sweetest Valentine but it's described as "Sparkling Cinnamon & Vanilla Cupcake" which sounds amazing.

8 - This is my type of card, I'm a sucker for a card with a pun. Unfortunately I can't find available to buy in the UK! I couldn't leave it out though, it's so cute! Let me know if you know where I can get one!

I love watches! And an array of pretty bracelets and bangles stacked together look perfect. I came across these photos on Pinterest a few days ago and love how the combinations look.

I love Halloween! I always have, maybe it's something to do with my love for Autumn. The darker nights and the colder weather, the start of the party season and the excitement of being able to dress up all spooky. I'm about 5 years old at heart.



But, asides from the fancy dress, you can always sport a more toned down Halloween look. The Halloween ranges in stores have been really drawing me in lately, and I think you could sport some of this as day time wear (and as fancy dress!)

1- Topshop, 2-H&M, 3-Topshop, 4-YMC, 5-Missguided, 6-New Look, 7- New Look, 8- Topshop

I know, I know, there's only a very short period of time you can actually wear any of this stuff. Pretty much just the month of October, actually. But look how cute it all is! I love the bat print Topshop skirt, and the Halloween themed nail wraps. Topshop never fails to please me with it's Halloween themed pieces, remember THAT JW Anderson for Topshop bat jumper?
I don't know, maybe it's just me who loves spooky-themed everything! After all, we all need to channel our inner excitable 5 year old every now and then!


One last thing! I've been loving this Yankee Candle Candy Corn Halloween candle. It smells lovely, really fitting with the season, and makes the room all cosy and warm. Asides from all of that, how could you resist the themed jar?

One of my favourite trends for Autumn this year is tartan. This tartan skirt from New Look portrays the trend in a perfectly wearable way. I've put together three different ways I'd wear this skirt throughout the Autumn and into the Winter, for a few different occasions.
