Retro Chick Reviews: Burt's Bees Beeswax & Banana Hand Cream

I love trying new beauty products, but it can be so expensive to try new products without knowing if they’ll work, or suit you. With this in mind I was delighted when I was approached by Plume Lifestyle to pick something from their site to review. They actually sent me a gorgeous little goodie box

What Are You Wearing? Rain, Rain, Go Away….

Well, what a Bank Holiday weekend! Just over a week ago I was drinking Pimms by the river and now it’s all rain coats and sniffly colds. Though I’ve managed to avoid having to dig the black opaques back out of the cupboard so far. ❀ Dress & Trench - Vintage ❀ Feather Hair Comb-

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend and Free Stuff Alert!

I have to start with a big thanks to Intrinsically Florrie for the heads up this, or I’d probably never have noticed it! Boots are running an offer with Diet Coke at the moment where you can get a free limited edition Nails Inc nail polish with every 2 bottles of Diet Coke you buy.

Double Denim – The Classy Way

You may have noticed that “Double Denim” is a massive look for Summer. No? Where have you BEEN? It seems the entire world is teaming denim jackets and shirts with jeans and denim shorts. It’s a look I kind of like on some people, but I don’t think it’s *me*. I tend to look a
