From an embellished statement necklace, paired with a stunning sequin gown, to relaxed tassel earrings for a fun and flirty twist, what you wear says a lot about who you are as a person. Take me, a girl who is often described as a cross between 'Frida Kahlo', and a part-time mermaid and unicorn at weekends, as an example. From bright and bold tassel earrings, to beautiful pearl earrings, glittery chokers, and floral necklaces, my style is a combination of fun, colourful and bold prints, which is a heady mix. Which is why the biggest summer jewellery trends in 2021, is all about identifying who you are as a jewellery 'wearer'. Are you ... read more

A Letter To My Beautiful Angel In Heaven
On the 7th July heaven found a beautiful angel, pure and angelic, a soul whose heart was too pure for this world.

Why I Want A Winning Smile Makeover
From a young age I envisioned a smile christened by pearly white, perfectly straight teeth that glistened in the dark. I wouldn't feel self-conscious when I smiled, and people's comments on my 'winning smile' would seem authentic and genuine. I would laugh without abandon, and feel the world staring at me as I walked, oozing confidence everytime I opened my eyes. Except this wasn't my reality and I would dream of a winning smile makeover, wishing that my teeth weren't crooked, large and yellowish hued. Growing up (as you might know from my 'better smile' post) I would feel uncomfortable when I smiled, worried that I would look goofy when I laughed and that people would poke fun at me - which ... read more

4 Pieces Of Timeless Jewellery Every Woman Should Own
There is nothing more classic than owning timeless jewellery like vintage rings, rose gold mesh watches and pearls, all jewellery trends that have stood the test of time. From pearl earring studs to vintage art deco ring, inspired by the opulence and grandeur of the twenties flappers, it is evident that some jewellery trends have meant business and are clearly here to stay. While jewellery trends like 'tassel earrings' and chokers are often part of my 'jewellery' repertoire, these jewellery pieces are not 'necessarily' what I would call timeless jewellery as they are 'trend orientated' and thus 'dip in and out of fashion' without warning. In contrast metals like 'rose gold' and silver are ... read more
My First Coloured Contact Lenses With Vision Direct
She stood in front of the mirror, lips pursed, eyes wide open, hesitancy flitting through her onyx eyes, dreaming of a day where green eyes would peer back at her. She would be a cat, narrowed slits, green eyes, irises dilated in sensual desire, purring in satisfaction. Framed by heavy thick mascara, slightly cloying, she would pace up and down her bedroom floor, a no longer nervous glance into the mirror perched on her wardrobe door, she smiled slightly. For this would be the start of something new, no longer would she be a sheep afraid of the unknown, cowering in the corner while life passed her by. Oh no, she would become someone else, not her alter ego Jasmine, the character she clung ... read more
