Shop My Wardrobe!

A quick reminder today, as I still have a load of stuff to sell on my Depop shop! I’m desperate to clear some space in my wardrobe and get rid of some really nice stuff that I can’t wear any more. It deserves a lovely home and to be taken out for fun times! If

Bourjois Smoky Stories Palette and a Video Tutorial

I do love a smoky eye. Before I learnt how to use liquid eyeliner I used to use a variation on a smoky eye look almost every day. Some quick smudgy black eyeliner for an every day rock and roll look, or add eyeshadow and glitter for a more intense evening look. Where as women’s

Outfit: Christmas Corsetry

Yes, that’s right, you can expect the word Christmas in the title of all posts between now and, er, Christmas. Not really, but today is a Christmas party outfit, and Christmas had a nice alliterative ring with Corsetry, so I just ran with it. 10 years ago this year I got married, it was our

Why You Need a Foam Roller

So about 2 years ago I bought myself a super cheap foam roller on eBay and totally fell in love with it. Mr Chick hates it and refuses to use it, because it hurts, but I think it’s a GOOD pain and without my foam roller I’d probably be incapable of moving most days. For

Review – Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit

The way everyone talks about it you’d think contouring had only just been invented. In reality, of course magazines have been advising you to use darker shades under your cheekbones and highlighter on top for a gazillion billion years. What does seem to be fairly new, at least to the average consumer, is this extreme

Glamorous Places & Charity Shop Frocks

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, or indeed read yesterdays post then you’ll know our 10 year wedding anniversary was last week. To celebrate we booked an overnight stay in the same local hotel where we had our wedding reception, the Maids Head Hotel. It’s funny staying overnight somewhere you can walk to
