Valentine's Knick Knacks

Valentine's Day is only two days away and I've decided to compile a list of cute little gifts for both him and her. So in case you are still looking for some ideas and inspiration hopefully you'll find it here. All of the things are under £50 which is always good news. 

And just to be clear on my opinion of this holiday - I absolutely love it!

P.S. This is the 100th post on my blog! Yay! Thank you all for supporting me! xo

Best (and most desired) SALE Items Under £200

Hi everyone! You know how there are sales everywhere now, right? Well I looked through pretty much all of them and selected the most jaw dropping finds. All of them are under £200 and you know what? There's even something from Saint Laurent there! You are welcome and enjoy shopping!

My Personal Shopper

How is it going guys? Hope that first month of 2014 is treating you well and that you've started working on all of your New Years' resolutions.

I am back in London and back in full work mode with almost no time to spare. But I wouldn't be me if I still couldn't find some time for shopping with my friends…without leaving home! Oh and have I mentioned that I also have a personal shopper now? 

Am I confusing you guys? Well, things are actually very simple. This year I have started using MALLZEE shopping app on my iPad and I recommend you try it too. What's so special about it? Well, besides having more than 200 fashion brands, Mallzee works in very smart way by personalising their stock just for me, getting rid of what it knows I won't like and leaving me with options that make my shopping basket burst. And the best thing about it is that I am not doing it alone. My friends are within  a one button click, reviewing my choice and commenting on whether I should go for it or not. Mallzee has absolutely revolutionised my online shopping experience!

If you haven't walked past South Molton Street in London recently, you'd be surprised to realize that the 'king of the coolest' Browns Focus store has relocated from one side of the street to another, joining the rest of Browns chain.

Bikini Season

What makes a perfect bikini? Is it the print, material, brand, price or all of the above? In the ideal world, yes, it would be! And, believe me, this bikini perfect world is not that hard to find. With the amount of current choice (and sales!) you quest for the flattering beach attire shouldn't be too difficult. High-street or high-end, almost every store is full of playful little sets that are begging to be packed into your suitcase and taken to the faraway exotic locations.

Beach Holiday Packing

It's the peak of the holiday season! Well, you know the time, when offices are empty and everyone you know is laying on the beach somewhere around the world? I definitely know the feeling and that is why I am doing it too! Guilty as charged - it's my turn to enjoy the beach and the sunshine! Ever since booking the trip my brain has slowly started to boil overwhelmed by the thought of the packing ahead of me. Well, turns out it 's not difficult at all. My advise to everyone who is planning their getaway at the moment is to close your eyes and imagine your ideal beach self. What are you wearing? How are you feeling? And trust me, the right image will pop straight in front of your eyes. Mine can be described by one word - 'floaty.' Floaty, light, colourful fabrics of dresses and cover ups. Very low-key and cute. And as fun as possible! It's the time to relax and radiate happiness! And I can't wait to start!
