If you’ve been paying attention to holiday shopping trends in the past couple of years, you may have noticed that more and more businesses are coming out with customised limited-edition gift boxes. Many of these come with limited edition items as well as fancy packaging that’s designed to be shared on today’s social media platforms. […]
Transitional Dressing From Winter to Spring + Style With a Smile Link Up
Choosing weather-appropriate clothing at this time of year is like trying to hit a moving target; one minute it’s sunny, the next it’s raining. You have to be prepared for the frequent changes, and the way to do that is with layering. I’ve picked out my favourite items from Very‘s Spring range that make transitional […]
Big Collar Floral Print Blouse + Style With a Smile Link Up
I’ve found lots of fabulous things on Vinted over the last few months, including this big collar floral print blouse by Twisted Wunder. As soon as I saw it I didn’t hesitate in buying it, especially as it was only £5! I love both the print and the big collar. The hearts look they’re smiling, […]
’70s Style Stripes and Frills + Style With a Smile Link Up
Happy Wednesday! How’s your week going so far? I’m a day late posting the link up this week because I’ve been struggling with this horrendous cough. I was at work yesterday and I was completely shattered due to the broken sleep. That medicine that was supposed to knock me out didn’t really do anything. I […]

Red Alert! January Style Not Age
bHappy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. It’s the last Monday of the month…finally. January really does drag, doesn’t it? It feels more like two months since Christmas. Jacqui chose the theme of Red Alert! for January’s Style Not Age theme. Red is never not on trend (well, in my opinion anyway!) but […]
Double Leopard Print With a Touch of Red + Style With a Smile Link Up
Yesterday’s post whetted my appetite for leopard print! Today, I’m wearing a different pair of trousers (I know, you’re wondering why I’ve got two pairs of wide leg leopard print trousers!). These are more of an everyday pair in terms of fabric and length. The others are a satin type material and are wider and […]
Yellow Faux Fur Coat + Style With a Smile Link Up
The decorations are gone and January is already living up to its reputation as being a difficult month; my mum moved in with us last week but after only a few days she’s back in hospital. It’s not serious, but certainly not the start we’d hoped for. We’re hoping she’ll be back home with us […]
5 Tips for Tyre Care and Mobile Tyre Fitting for a Safe Journey
