My Perfect Workout Outfit | Farfetch

Hello Again,

Today's post is all about my 'dream' workout look! I say dream because these items are lush and come with a hefty price tag but there's every reason for that because it's all designer brands!! Also please note - I'm not the typical person who spends hours in the gym (if you are one of these people then I commend you) but an arm day for me really involves lifting the chocolate to my mouth then repeat! But when the company Farfetch reached out to me asking if I'd like to take part in an exclusive competition and after looking at their website, of course I said yes! Farfetch is a luxury fashion website and they have so much beautiful things (I'll take it all thanks). So all I had to do was choose an outfit from their Work Out collection which is fashionable yet workable, So here is what I would choose ...

I think I would rock a colour combination, so I've went for all red, grey and black. I personally, need a lot of motivation to work out so when I saw this t-shirt I just knew it had to be part of my outfit! You definitely need good vibes for going to the gym and working out. Now Ladies, I'm going to be honest with you, I need joggers with a good waist band and tier so they don't fall out when I'm working out (now that would be absolutely terrifying for everyone involved).

I am such a fan of trainers now (I think Sam's love affair with bright colourful trainers has rubbed off on me) and these are no exception! I love how it's red on the outside and pink, white and aqua blue on the inside! They're just like nothing I've seen before. 

This jacket looks so comfortable and the colours just separate it from all other jackets (I would also wear this as a jumper over the T-Shirt in the gym, not necessarily just to the gym) I personally also really like the zip because if I was on the treadmill (giggled to myself while typing that because let's be honest, it's been a while since I've been on a treadmill) and got too hot it would be so easier to unzip as its bigger than a normal zip, that's a strange reason for wanting a jacket but it's those things that I look for, does that make me sad? Now this, let's take a moment of appreciation for this Vivienne Westwood Matchstick Swimsuit is such a dreamy one piece! I prefer swim suits like this because I feel it holds everything in better and I (tooting my own horn, toot toot toot) would rock this look, as would a lot of other people!! Yes for Vivienne Westwood!




Being a female, we have certain things that we need to keep under control when working out so a good sports bra is essential! I really like the back of this, keeping it fashionable yet keeping those bad boys in check! 

Next up is Accessories - there was no way I could do this post without choosing some and needless to say when I saw this vampire red leather Anya Hindmarch Backpack, I knew I had to include it! Now yes, the price tag is little higher than your typical gym bag but this isn't your normal standard gym bag - it has eyes!! What more could you possibly want? I love the look of this and the leather looks so soft! Now to go along with that dream bag is this little Alexander McQueen keyring! If you're going all out you might as well go out with a bang! 

If you're looking for a more relaxed workout you could strike some yoga poses on this no-ka-oi yoga mat and just know when you're doing your downward dog everyone is going to be looking at your outfit and wondering where you got it all!

So if I had free rein online at Farfetch I would definitely pick up these beauties! Take a look and see if anything catches your eye and I'm sure more than one thing will! Thank you to Farfetch for reaching out and asking me to get involved and thank you for reading! (Strangely I now want to go workout ... that never happens!)


Interview a Blogger, Dorkface | Blog Series

Hello Again,

Today's blogger that I've interviewed is the wonderful, creative, lovely Jemma of Dorkface! Surely you know who she is, if you don't you must have been living under a rock for ages! Also check out TheGirlGang as she is the creator of it and it's such a great community of people who raise each other up, it's so refreshing!



1. Tell us something about yourself and your blog?

My name is Jemma, I blog at www.dorkface.co.uk and it's my home for all my creative projects! I love to experiment with creative writing, photography, collage and paint. I also chat about my life and share my hopes and dreams with my readers :)


2. How did you get into blogging? Did someone else inspire you?

Yes! I had followed blogs for years but only got around to finally making my own in early 2014! :)


3. What does blogging mean to you and why?

It's my whole world now. It's my career, my friendships, my inspiration and my passion. I love that it's allowed me to go for my dreams!


4. I personally have almost stopped blogging so, What keeps you motivated?

Creating has always inspired me. I can't NOT create. So whether it's writing posts, taking photos, creating artwork, etc - I've always needed to create for myself. I'd be so unhappy if I couldn't, and so my blog never gets boring to me. I'm constantly looking for something new to create! Plus having people appreciate my work means the world to me.


5. Name some (one,two or three) of your favourite bloggers and tell us why they’re your favourite?

http://www.agirlobsessedblog.com/ - Because Mandy constantly inspires me and she writes the bestest posts!
http://www.witchcake.co.uk/ - Holly ALWAYS brings out my creativity and encourages me to be myself, even if it's strange/unusual.
http://www.teapartybeauty.com/ = Hayley because she's HILARIOUS. I'd love to be able to write and brilliantly and naturally as she does, with her personality shining through.

6. What do you do when you’re not blogging?

Painting/drawing takes up a huge amount of my time as I am also an illustrator. Sometimes it's for other bloggers (headers/graphics etc), sometimes small business websites/logos etc and sometimes bigger projects like my upcoming stationery brand collaboration (eek!).


7. What are you most proud of when it comes to your blog?

Everything really, just the blog in itself. I feel confident and proud of it because it's 100% mine. Winning two awards for it last year was probably my proudest moment.


8. Everyone has a favourite and a least favourite post, what are yours?

Oh man! I genuinely think I can't choose! Erm.. I did love this one - http://www.dorkface.co.uk/2015/02/blogging.html - because it explains why blogging changed my life. So maybe that! And I definitely don't have a least fave :)


9. As I’m mainly a beauty blogger I feel like I have to ask at least one beauty question so: If you could only use one kind of beauty product what would it be and why?

Always liquid eyeliner. I NEED my cat eyes everyday. I actually love the Makeup Revolution one, its so cheap but AMAZING. Stays in place all day, great application and JET BLACK :)


10. What would you say to someone who aspires to become a blogger?

Be yourself! Trying to 'fit in' is boring and won't help you! :)




Thank you so much to Jemma for taking part in my Blog Series! Hopefully you have got to know more about her, I know I have! 

Come back next Saturday to see who our next blogger is.



My Product of the week | With HannahHeartss

Hello Again!

Today's post is going to go along side HannahHeartss Product of the week! Hannah features a lot on my blog because she's honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met without actually meeting her!

 We've been speaking about the possibility of this being a weekly thing so we're going to see how this post goes so if you do like it and would like to see it every week from myself and Hannah let us know!

So I've been trying to pin down what product is my favourite from this past week and it was between a few things but I think I've settled on the Loreal Brow Artist Plumper!


I have been a die hard Soap and Glory archery fan and I swore nothing would change that, but I think this have maybe taken over (just a little bit). I actually bought this because I've heard such great things about it mainly from Shaaanxo in her blogs and she always uses this, so I thought 'Why the hell not' and I'm honestly not disappointed! I have medium brown hair so I chose it in medium/dark brown and it's the perfect shade! It's a little spooly that's tapered at the end which is really good for the ends of your brows and you simply brush it through your brows and it (in my case darkens them) and fills them in but it also sets them so they stay in place! - you could go into 40 mile an hour winds and your brows will not budge! (Don't hold me to that). It's even got fibres in the gel to help with that fuller brow look.

I've been using this since I bought it the other week and I love it! Sorry Archery!


Thank you for reading all about my Product of the week. Go over and read all about Hannah's Product of the Week! I know what it is already and she's convinced me to go and buy it (not that it took much convincing).

What's been your top product of the week?

'Till next time ...

Interview a Blogger Introduction | Blog Series

Hello Again!!

Today's post is just going to be a little announcement of my new little project, Interview a Blogger. Now I feel like I have to say this, there's a lot of shade being thrown around especially on twitter about people copying others etc etc. Now I know I'm not the first person to do this (but I'm also not the only person to do a lush haul ..) but I think it's a great idea for myself and others to get to know more bloggers better (plus it's a whole blog post about you and your blog - how could that be a bad thing?).


I've had a bigger positive response than I thought I was going to get so I have decided I will be starting it on Saturday the 16th of January and it will be every Saturday from there until I run out of willing bloggers!! So if you'd be interested in being interviewed send me an email (blogsvlogsetc@outlook.com) I'm so excited to get this started!

'Till next time ...
