Getting a good night’s sleep is the key to feeling energised and productive during the day. If I don’t get enough sleep, I feel dreadful. Of course, there are many factors that can influence your quality and quantity of sleep, such as room temperature, caffeine intake and screen time. (I’ve written about this previously in […]
Lip Print Blouse + Style With a Smile Link Up
What a week it’s been! I’m still recovering from a busy couple of days in London, the highlight of which was seeing AC/DC! I can’t remember how many times I’ve seen them now, but they never disappoint, it was awesome. I got the train to Euston after work on Sunday morning, dropped my rucksack off […]
Silky Green Pyjamas + Style With a Smile Link Up
I had planned to include these photos of my fabulous new silky green pyjamas in last week’s post, but then I thought they deserved a post of their own! Confession time: I have been sleeping in some old raggy pyjama bottoms and a T-shirt for ages now and I seriously needed an upgrade! These are […]
Powder Blue and Green + Style With a Smile Link Up
You may remember me previously mentioning my favourite shop in Funchal, Madeira, where I buy several pieces each time I visit. Well, one of the brands they stock is Elsa. M by May. Over the last few years I’ve bought quite a few tops by this label, including the pink frill sleeve top, the black […]
Stripes and Frills + Style With a Smile Link Up
Outfits with me wearing jeans are like buses – none for ages then two in quick succession! Monday’s Style Not Age post prompted me to go through my stash of denim and try a few pairs on. I realised that I’d never actually worn these before. I wanted to pair this frilly blouse with jeans […]
What You Need to Know About the Safety of Coloured Contact Lenses
In previous posts, I’ve paired colourful outfits with bold eyewear. However, you don’t always need to wear specs or sunglasses. Sometimes you may wish to alter the colour of your eyes for your outfit, using coloured contact lenses. I used to wear them frequently in my 20s (hazel, green and violet were my favourites). However, […]
Animal Prints and Pastel Shades + Style With a Smile Link Up
Finally it’s sandal weather! It feels like it’s been a long time coming. I’ve been eager to test my new sandals from Strive and it was worth the wait! This is my second pair from the brand and they are absolute saviours for my feet. (I’m having surgery on my right foot later in the […]
Neon Check Blazer + Style With a Smile Link Up
It’s already late April and the weather continues to be disappointing. I remember in 2020 during the first lockdown we had glorious warm weather. No sunbathing this Spring that’s for sure. This neon check blazer had me reaching for my sunglasses though! There’s no denying that I have a blazer addiction. They are my favourite […]
Citrus Spring Hues + Style With a Smile Link Up
If you were wondering why I didn’t post the link up yesterday, basically it was the weather’s fault! It tipped it down with rain and hail most of the day, only drying up as the light went. Typical. Today was a much better day, which gave me the motivation to put some nice clothes on, […]
Flowers and Pastel Shades + Style With a Smile Link Up
I hope you all had a lovely Easter! Apart from working yesterday I didn’t do much. Although the weather has been unsettled I wanted to put together an outfit that encapsulates spring. The starting point was this cute smiley face faux fur bag that I found on Vinted. Someone I follow (Faye @charity_shop_gal) has one […]
