As I walk on by, will you call my name?




What I'm Wearing
Sunglasses - Ray Ban
Jacket - Topshop
Top - Annie & The Mannequins
Pencil Skirt - River Island
Shoes - Primark
Bag - Mulberry

This is one of my typical work outfits, I particularly love wearing this though as it's summery and pretty. I have two of these tube skirts from River Island and I cannot express how amazing they are! They are so comfortable and surprisingly flattering!  I am also going through a real coral phase at the moment... so this particular skirt is ideal!

A post close to my heart...

Image from Google

This is without doubt the saddest blog post I will ever have to write and it fills me with deep regret that I have to. My friend Yasmin and her sister are running the Race for Life which raises money for Cancer Research UK on Sunday. They signed up weeks ago wanting to take part for their Dad, Gary, who was diagnosed with Cancer early last year, after almost a year of chemotherapy and radiotherapy it was sadly discovered that his illness was terminal in October 2012. 

Tragically on Monday, less that a week until the Race for Life...  Gary passed away. 

Now, your donation have never ever been so vital and important, I cannot express how much each and every sponsorship means to both these girls and their family. 

Please please please take a trip to their just giving page (here) and donate whatever you can, it would mean the absolute world to them & me! 

Lets beat this horrible, horrible disease for good. 

Thank-you x

The Mulberry Factory Shop




There are hundreds of benefits and great things about living in Somerset, but one of my personal favourites is living 10 minutes away from The Mulberry Factory Shop in Kilver Court. It's the Mulberry outlet store where you can find amazing discounts on previous seasons items. My bag that I received for Christmas 2011 was in there yesterday with £400 off what we paid! Please note that photos are from my iPhone, so quality isn't amazing.





Now, the point of my trip with my mamma was to pick out a present for my 21st which is at the end of the month. I managed to wittle my selection down to the two purses below, I went for the top one in the end as the print is the same as my bag, and I like to match! It's also called 'Tilly' which is my baby name (when I have one) so I felt it was a sign!


If you are after something from Mulberry I really do recommend you have a look here first, they have amazing savings on items that are still gorgeous (even if they are out of season) they also have a tea room so that you can sit and deliberate over what you are going to pick!

Healthy Eating: My Summer Berry Breakfast Smoothie


Hello all, I hope you enjoyed your bank holiday weekend, having some sunshine in England was a very nice treat. Now if you follow me on Twitter you'll know that I have decided to start doing healthy eating/lifestyle posts, so I have decided to start with:

My gorgeous delicious VERY BERRY smoothie recipe!

Now, I am partial to a smoothie I will admit it, but this smoothie is so amazingly delicious I cannot even word it, it taste like summer in a cup! I find that sometimes smoothies can be a little bitter, but this bad boy is really fruity and naturally sweet. The best thing is that with my soon to be not so secret ingredient this smoothie can substitute your breakfast or act as a snack and is only 188 calories per glass.

What you'll need:
A blender! 

1 1/2 cups of Frozen Raspberries
1 1/2 cups of Frozen Pitted Cherries
(you can use fresh, but I find you get so much more when you buy frozen)
4 Satsumas
1 1/2 cups of Almond Milk

4 tbps of Strawberry Protein Powder
(You can use any flavour, but strawberry really compliments the other flavours)

Pop them all into a blender and blend until you reach your desired consistency, the ingredients above will make you a big ol' batch so pop into a jug and keep it in your fridge. Now as this has protein powder, it will for a 'yoghurt consistency' over night, but if you give it a stir you are back on smoothie territory.


Now my now no so secret ingredient to a great smoothie is the protein powder! Once you add protein powder this delicious drink can sustain you as a light snack or breakfast. With normal smoothies, although they are healthy they are high in sugar meaning you will burn it off and very quickly become hungry. Adding the powder will fill you up and keep you going till lunch time. 

Now for the other amazing health benefits:


Cherries don't only add the sweetness to this beautiful smoothie, they are also proven to help regulate your sleep pattern, are anti-inflammatory and are a natural pain killer.


Raspberries are anti-oxidant power houses, they rule the anti-oxidant roost making them a fabulous protector of the body by improving the immune system and fighting free radicals! They are also amazing for aiding weight loss and beating tummy bloating (perfect if you are working towards your bikini bod!)


Almond Milk is low fat, super creamy and rich in Vitamin E which is a god send to improve skins hydration and make your skin more supple. Its also rich in potassium keeping you nice and hydrated, reducing hunger pangs! As well as all that lactose intolerant sufferers can drink as much of this bad bod as they like! Amen to that!

If you try out this recipe, please let me know what you thought of it!

My Ellos Boots





I was sent this beautiful booties a few months ago from Ellos and my oh my were they a treat to keep my tootsies warm throughout the chilly months! 

Ellos is a Swedish brand that is available via La Redoute, all items are high quality and gorgeous but what I like the most about these boots is how wonderfully comfortable they are! They are on a slight wedge to add a hint of edge to your look, but you feel like your wearing flats, the insides are super snug and comfy and boy do these boots keep your feet toastie. They have done me so well through winter and I now have them on stand by as who knows how long this sunshine is going to stick around. 

Have you ever heard of Ellos?
Have a look at their website, its got some gorgeous items!
