My Luxury Christmas wish list 2017

Image
A few ..... I posted a picture on my Instagram about how much I want the new Gucci Bloom perfume and asked if I should write a Christmas wish list.. so after a few people saying YES.. here I am.. Christmas Wish list 2017!! Im so excited to write this post as I haven't done a wish list before and I love sharing my finds and my taste with everyone else :) On The Rox London - Wish List 2017  1. The newly released Gabrielle perfume by Chanel. I am crazy about Chanel and when I heard they were releasing a new perfume I couldn't wait. When I first smelt it I fell in love and drenched myself in the stuff. I knew it was a winner when a lady 10 minutes later in the queue for coffee asked me what perfume I was wearing because it smelt sooooo good. 2. Gucci Bloom  Another perfume because Gucci is also one of my favourite designers at the moment and I am so Gucci obsessed. I love the simplicity of the bottle and the fact its pink would look great on my dress...

My Latest bargain over the knee boots from Zara

Image
If you follow me on Instagram or on Twitter you would have seriously realised I am ALL about the over the knee boots this year. To be honest I love them every autumn/ winter and this is how I have now grown such a large selection of them but I am particularly loving them this year as they have made my maternity look and have kept me feeling like myself yet remaining comfy. Anyway... recently I find myself stalking Zara website.. like seriously stalking and putting items in my basket but not always necessarily purchasing them - DO you do that? Well I had a pair of OTK boots In my basket but decided I really needed to try them on and at the time they were around £49.99 - I went to Zara and I could believe my eyes they had been reduced to £25.99! Hence bargain boots!! These boots slide on with an opening at the ankle for ease. If you have quite skinny legs they actually stay up! They have gold details and actually look much more expensive than their current price tag - trust...

Tale As Old As Time Afternoon Tea at the Town House at the Kensington

Image
Are you a fan of Beauty and The Beast? Yes me too! Earlier this year I heard there was going to be a themed afternoon tea in London to celebrate the re release of Beauty and the Beast. To say I was excited is an understatement. I absolutely love afternoon tea and I love to try ones with a twist. When I first found out the tea was sold out I was devastated but I kept checking the website and seriously perseverance paid off... it was February and I bagged my slot for November! crazy I know but definitely worth the wait. I arrived with my mum on a beautiful crisp cold sunny Monday afternoon greeted by the doorman at our taxi and from that moment on it was truly magical.  The outside was pretty with a traditional old bicycle and on either side of the entrance bay trees and seating for guests to enjoy the gorgeous Kensington surroundings. The doorman didn't mind taking a few snaps for us either!   After a few hundred photos outside we were guided to the lob...

The Jumper Dress Autumn Edit

Image
Its Officially the last weekend of Summer with the clocks going back and last week I heard that the temperature was going to drop - Finally! (Since being pregnant I have felt so hot and have been longing for cooler days and they are finally here) In anticipation of the cooler weather I purchased two oversized jumper dresses and have patiently waited to wear them and all of a sudden I had a Jumper dress themed weekend so decided to write about both rather than create two blog posts. Saturdays Style  This jumper is from H&M and was purchased for under £30. Its Charcoal colour and is available in other colours but I find darker colours are much easier to mix and match and style. The is one of my favourite maternity styles without being "maternity wear". Its just a regular oversized jumper and I have bought it 2 sizes bigger than what I would usually wear. The arms are baggy and it has a loose rolled neck, its super comfy and also not too thick. Items like ...

Black stirrup knee high New look boots

Image
Last year I purchased the most comfortable boots for work from New Look and being a rubber type of heel they only tend to last one winter season (every day use) So I binned last years ones and hoped they re-released a similar pair this year. As soon as boots season started I kept checking and couldn't believe my luck when I saw they had returned. Why do I love these boots so much? Firstly they are comfortable - each day I walk 40 minutes as part of my commute which means comfort is key. Secondly they are part leather look and part elasticated at the back which means if you have slightly skinnier legs they fir much better. Thirdly they are versatile - whist I wear them to work with dresses and skirts they would also look gorgeous at the weekend with jeans and an oversized jumper. My final reason - excellent value for money at just £29.99!!  Since I have bought them I haven't taken them off! I have been wearing them each day for work and its fitted well ...

L'oreal Balmain Lipstick - Glamazone

Image
Every so often L'Oreal release a special limited edition range. Earlier this year I became a proud owner of the L'Oreal Beauty and the Beast range, which I absolutely loved. Now just a few weeks ago L'Oreal released a range in-conjuction with Balmain. Balmain is a popular luxury brand which I am in awe of and I literally couldn't believe they were releasing an affordable range. All the designer houses recently have released a beauty range and the lipsticks tend to be £25 - £29 but the ones from L'Oreal / Balmain are a steal at £12.99. Originally they were only available in Harvey Nicholls and now they can be purchased in Boots!!   I chose 3 - but I have only worn 1 so far. There is a large variety of colours but I went for the dark dramatic colours. This year I have decided to go for a completely out there style, even though I love nude lipsticks and vibrant reds.. something inside me has decided I want a more dark intense look. It may be...

My new autumn work shoes - Penny loafers with pearls

Image
Autumn to me is all about revamping that work wardrobe. I class it like "Back to school" except I'm not in school.. maybe its more like "Back to work" without the 6 week holiday! Instagram and Facebook are no longer fuelled by friends holiday pictures and instead we see proud parents/ friends/ family members sharing their children first day at school pics. Many people have expressed they start fresh in September like children returning to school.. and I want to put it out there - so do I which means NEW WORK SHOES!! At this time of year I love black work shoes..it works best with all weather types and patent is always IN. The Penny Loafers with pearls where a natural choice. I absolutely love the style of these shoes because: - They 100% remind me of Chanel. - Patent is a classic autumn/ winter must have. - They have this seasons "must have" addition of pearls (this has been mine and my mums signature look for a few years now) t...
