Glossy Box - Special Harrods Edition

So this morning the postman banged on the door at a new personal best record for early o clock and I had no choice but to partake in a braless dash downstairs (don't worry I was wearing a top)!
It was Glossy Box with their special edition Harrods box of goodies :)
GB clearly chose a simple black and white classic chanel style look for their box this month.



I am a little disappointed with my box as I must admit it's not quite what I was expecting for a Harrods deluxe special edition. 
Perhaps it is because i have already recently had Clarins products in my box I couldn't help but feel a very familiar feeling when opening my box.




I am pleased with the Lancome Mascara as it's an instant full body mascara and my eyelashes always need a bit of a boost.
My initial reaction to the Valentino perfume was "Hello granny!" but actually it smells nice once it's been on for a few minutes and that strong smell fades.
Looking forward to trying the Molton Brown vitalising vitamin shower and bath as I haven't tried any Molton Brown products before.

So overall I think the box would be better suited for someone else. 
For example i'd like to think at the age of 24 I wouldn't need to try anti-ageing and extra firming products let alone buy them. Aside from Lancome and Clarins which I unfortunately have just received I wouldn't really say the brands used are that high end enough for a Harrods box.

Of course with all boxes it's luck of the draw and I have seen some people have received Burberry lipsticks and YSL products.


I have emailed Glossy Box and asked them to remove the spa products checkbox from my account so I don't keep getting similar products so if like me you felt the same might be an idea to check what products your subscribed to.

On the plus side I have a lovely Harrods signature box for storing things in and i'm sure once I test the products they will all be great products.
Reviews will come as and when I get the chance to trial them so stay tuned for that.

What did you think of your Harrods Glossy Box?

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

So sorry everyone for my absence this week I have been crazy busy this week with orders and spending day and night finalising some new little girl hair accessory collections.
I am so proud of them they are so cute and girly can't wait to share them with you. I have tried to incorporate lots of different colours into my ranges as being a mum of a nearly 3 year old I know how hard it is to get accessories for little girls that match a dress you might have bought for a special occasion.
Lets face it all girls no matter how young need to learn how to accessorise.
I'm going to be photographing the product shots this weekend and then hopefully I can arrange for them to be shot on baby models to show the products on. 
Would love to hear what you think when I do put them up on here and my website.

I love making new things and my brain is constantly buzzing away full of ideas the downside of this is that when i'm really getting into designing a range and working until late at night I find it really hard to switch off afterwards and it takes me forever to get to sleep.
So this week comfort food has been my rocket fuel and totally got me through my manic week and tiredness. My thighs will not thank me for it later! :)

Here's an example of my saviour foods this week including a very cute shortbread bunny rabbit biscuit the mister bought back from work one day.
I had a rabbit and little one had a chic, well looked after or what? Lovely little surprise.

Primary rainbow....that's right I googled!

It's not every day you see a mystical beautiful rainbow outside your window! 
The weather has been so weird today raining then sunny, hot, cold you name it all seasons seem to be merging into one here today.
Was intrigued to find out how rainbows are made (science/geography wasn't my strong point) and apparently my rainbow was a primary rainbow, who knew there were different types of rainbows.
I couldn't help but jump up and sprint for my camera when I saw this little beauty though who wants to help me find the pot of gold?


Have you seen anything rare or beautiful today?


Lilly Belle Bow Rings

So you might have guessed I am a bit of a magpie for anything sparkly or girly.

My bow rings always seem to get a lot of interest from my customers, my previous bow rings were more lace orientated and I have now had great fun playing around with more vintage/shabby chic looking bows.

Isn't it funny how leopard print used to have a bit of a Bet Lynch/Kat Slater connotation to it but these days it is really popular!
Here's the result and what is your take on leopard print bet lynch or animal print chic?

Rings are all just £4.99 each click here to be taken to them on my shop.
