Nothing like a lipstick to make you look cute for the Christmas parties. Though I’m a fan of the nude lip, I like to switch it up with a bold matte lip like Mac’s Ruby Woo (aka the best red lipstick of all time) This one looks like a rival for top spot though, created […]
12 Days of Christmas: Vanessa Mooney Ring [1].
To kick off my annual 12 Days of Christmas shopping guide [AKA a list of things I want ; )], Day 1’s pick is Vanessa Mooney’s Unisex Mother Mary Horseshoe ring. I came across her designs last year and not a month goes by without my craving something new from the Los Angeles based designer. […]
12 Days of Christmas: adidas Yeezy 500 Desert Rat [6].
I still don’t own a pair of Yeezy’s. Though I do appreciate the design of the original pair Kanye created with adidas, its all about the adidas Yeezy 500 Desert Rat for me. I love a bulky shoe shape, maybe it’s because I have fairly little feet so they look cute in these kinds of trainers. […]
12 Days of Christmas: Vanessa Mooney Gold Necklace [4].
I’ve always had a thing for layered gold necklaces and finally I’ve perfected the five layer one thanks to Vanessa Mooney’s gorgeous CIELO ROSE & AMOR NECKLACE. It sits perfectly in-between my Lamborghini and MERCER necklaces, which are also gold. Having added it to my collection, now I’m craving the PRAING HANDS GOLD NECKACE, which […]
12 Days of Christmas: Dorothy Print [3].

Lily Loves Alphabet: T is for Tracksuits
Im a certified cosy girl, I enjoy nothing more than being dressed in a tracksuit. It makes me feel like I can be comfortable, do whatever I need to that day, whilst getting through my work, even if I’m rushing. I do love heels, but realistically you can’t do a full days work running round […]
12 Days of Christmas: Google Phone [9].
It’s official, I really want the Google phone, it looks amazing. A lot of people I know received them as gifts when the phone launched and all the pictures they were posting on Instagram came out super crisp! In November I was talking to someone that owns one and she was telling me that it […]
