300th Post


Hi!
 
So as you might be able to tell from the title, this is my 300th blog post! eeek!
 
I started this blog back in December 2012 after reading Girl With Curves and Forever Fabulous in Bows. I was absolutely blown away by these gorgeous woman writing and posting photos about their love of fashion and beauty. The next morning in the shower I came up with a name and opened up a brand new notebook to jot down all my ideas.
 
It was very difficult at first, I wasn't sure whether to blog about fashion, beauty, life or gardening. I thought that I had to post every day and I didn't even know how to use my camera properly. I finally decided to post about things that I enjoy, those being clothes, shopping, more clothes, beauty and myself and Mr C going on our travels somewhere! 18 months later and I can honestly say this is best hobby I have started and actually kept up with!
 
I want to say thank you to everyone that reads my blog and leaves lovely comments, it really means a lot to me. Even though I am rubbish at replying, I do read all comments.
 
I will be giving away two prizes, the first of which is a £15 New Look voucher and a set of the Real Techniques brushes. New Look is my favourite online shop, there are so many items I am lusting over right now! I have a set of these RT brushes and they are really good. I've tried MAC, Body Shop and various other brushes but these are the best by far in my opinion.


The second prize is a £15 voucher for the Arcadia Group, this includes Evans and Dorothy Perkins. Along with the voucher is a Cath Kidson Make Up bag with some of my skincare favourites.




The giveaway will run until the 25th July and I will choose two winners at random. Prizes will be sent out within a week of the giveaway ending. This is open to UK residents only.

Thank you and good luck!
 
Much Love
 
Natalie

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Style - OMCZ

Hi! Theme 4 - Short(s) Date 25th June 2015 Theme: Short(s) Our next theme is Short(s), feel free to use your imagination for this one and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.  First of all I have to apologise for missing the previous OMCZ challenge, it was the first time that it actually defeated me! I took some pictures but wasn't happy showing my tum so they were swiftly deleted and I never got time to re-do them again! As I purchased some new shorts recently for the summer I thought the OMCZ challenge would be the perfect time to show them! Top - old f21 Shorts - new look  Hat - h&m Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies taking part!

Flash the flesh!

Image
When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super! So this happened once more when a few days ago we were talking about our prefences between mini and maxi and Becky thought that it would be great to create a challenge where the goal was to show a little but more skin and our body(but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so 'flash the flesh' was born! I went outside because a few weeks ago I went out in a dress with tights and some random man decided to shout out that I had fat legs! Since then I have been feeling slightly self conscious about my legs so when the idea of flash the flash came up I thought why not step outside, flash my little 'fat' legs and get my confidence back! It was quite difficult today as it was so windy but here are my pics (and please excuse my wind swept hair!) and I had to put my jacket on after coming out because it was a little chilly! Here are the links to the oth
