Celeb Style | Victoria Beckham in blue wide leg Chloe trousers


Victoria Beckham

Another day, another dreamy celebrity style. This time it is the fashion guru herself, Victoria Beckham. (Warning: Name drop) I've met her quite a few times and I have to say she is absolutely lovely.  As soon as I saw this picture on the Vogue facebook page I was in love, the pastel colour of these pants is just divine, coupled with my favourite wardrobe staple ever.. a simple white tee!






So grab yourself some wide leg pants and rock this style like a true fashion bunny!!

I'm Loving | #RICHKIDS of Beverly Hills




Ok I know it is 'trash tv' but I can't help it, I love this show.  The latest reality series from E! Loosely inspired by the instagram hash tag #richkidsofinstagram you can see the inspiration throughout the program and they talk about instagram and selfies a lot.


The show centres around 3 bffs' Dorothy Wang, Morgan Stewart and Roxy Sowlaty. Who are of course the 'rich kids' and spend a large amount of their time shopping, partying and holidaying on huge yachts in the south of France (as you do).



My fave part of the show is Morgan, blogger at boobsandloubs.com, she is a straight talkin' fun time gal who says what ever is on her mind.  Whether she is talking about her recent toilet trips or trying to find a man for her gal friend, she never fails to make me laugh. Plus she has one of the best wardrobes I have ever seen!!!


I suppose they just aren't what I expected, none of the prim and proper attitude of the 'Made in Chelsea' set and that is what I like about them. Well that and drooling over their handbags!!

Have you seen #richkids of Beverly Hills?

1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp of honey/agave
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp coconut flour

Method:

Set oven to 180

2. Mix in the baking powder and baking soda.
3. Mix in the cocoa powder, then add coconut flour and mix together well.

Birthday Celebrations | MAd HAtTeR TeA Party & More

I literally had the best birthday this year. Not only did I have an amazing mad hatter tea party but it was a huge celebration because I've come so far in the past year, I am around my friends and family and have so much to celebrate.

Birthday Lunch and Dinner 

On my actual birthday my dear friend and business partner Margaret took me for lunch to Banchory lodge. The lodge sits on the river dee and is a beautiful setting. It was very peaceful and relaxing.

I also went for dinner to pizza express with my sister, mum and nephew in the evening. It was really lovely to get to spend this precious day with them. The last time I spent a birthday in Aberdeen was my 21st! Every other year I've been in London, Los Angeles or somewhere else random but not with my family and friends.  It meant so much to me to be here.



MaD HaTTerS tEa pArtY
I don't know What made me choose the theme of Alice in wonderland, it just came to me and I went with it. Everyone made a HUGE effort with their costumes and I was over the moon. The prize for best dressed went to my cousin who looked amazing in her home made Queen of Hearts costume.

We had a huge table filled with yummy treats like spinach and feta pie, pizza, honey and mustard sausages, sweet potato brownies (recipe coming soon) and a huge cake which literally took my sister and I 2 days to make!

I am am avid fan of the cake boss and thought I'd make my own topsy tuvfy cake. We'll let me tell you this is not as easy as it looks. Bloody Nora! It took me an hour to roll 1 bit of icing and even then it wasn't big enough. We ploughed through on the end and although it wasn't perfect I think we pulled it together, just!

After everyone left around 10pm it was just me, mum, dad and my sisters fiancée left so all that was left to do was blare out some old school tunes like Willie Nelson Graceland, Bruce Springsteen Atlantic City and rock out in the kitchen... It was ace! If only they'd let me share the videos (picture my dad dressed as a mad hatter using a broom as a guitar and my sister wearing her slightly slutty queen of hearts costume doing some rather questionable dance moves) I really had the best time :-)

A HUGE thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who helped celebrate my birthday with me. It meant the world to me and this decade is going to be the best yet!!!

Get Ready With Me | Alice in Wonderland Makeup

Hello beauties.

I am very excited to do this get ready with me post because it's a special dress up Alice in Wonderland for my mad hatter's tea party birthday party (that was a bit of a mouthful).

I absolutely love dressing up and was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday dressed as Alice with such great friends and family. So without further a do let's get started...

I had a shower and washed my hair in the morning. The plan was to drive to my sisters (the location of the party) finish the decorations, get everything finished then get myself ready. I ended up having about 45 minutes for this and can't quite believe I managed to do it with 10 minutes to spare.

First thing was the makeup. I searched Pinterest, as you do, for some makeup inspiration.  I love this one below but wanted to make it a little less severe and a bit more natural.

After a root around I found a blue bourjois eyeshadow trio that I had bought a while back to copy a Tanya Burr look and I found a gorgeous bright blue in an old Urban Decay palette too whoop.


I knew I wanted huge false lashes so picked the biggest ones I had by Kiss. I used a large barrel tongs and some serious hair spray to keep everything in place... et voila!
