Coffee Table Books You Need In Your Life.

The coffee table book; a book designed for light reading and accompanied with a hella' lot of pictures. 

My favourite type of book. I like books that you can dip in and out of and not have to read back to front, and it occurred to me the other day that I have a lot of coffee table books. So I thought I would do a review on some of my favourites.


Paris in Bloom - Georgianna Lane

This caught my eye in Waterstones, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what I was initially looking at but I was drawn to this. I will admit, I haven’t even read a word of this book, but the pictures in it are just, beautiful, so many gorgeous flowers. If stuck for inspiration this is the go to book to get that spring back into your photography foot. 


The little book of Hygge - Meik Wiking

Erm come on; fun facts about how much confectionary the Danish eat and comparing that to yourself?! What’s not to like? This probably my most 'text heavy' book in my coffee table collect. But it's an easy book to dip in and out of and to flick through. And when its not discussing the Danes Sweet tooth it does a pretty good job of teaching you how to live the Hygge lifestyle.

Pretty Iconic - Sale Hughes 

Sorry guys this has literally been all over my Instagram feed in the last few weeks but its such a good book if you've got a spare 5 minutes. This book could potentially give you that nudge to spend a lot of money. Although its great to see what is deemed ' Pretty Iconic'.


Alexander McQueen - Edited by Claire Wilcox

Omg this book. Its full of the most gorgeous clothing, and is also a great information book.

Women in this town - Gluseppe Santamaria


I love this book just for its cover. When flicking through this you kind of appreciate and wonder how long it took for Gluseppe Santamaria to make this book, he went all over the world to collate all the images, and you have to admire the book just for that. Also there are some hella' stylish women in that book. 



What are your favourite coffee table book? Let me know!

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I...

MOTD and products used.

Hi Everyone I thought Id do a Make up of the day, and show you some of the products I use on a regular and not so regular basis. I'm also going to rate the products out of 10. Close up of eyes and contouring So these are majority of products used (bar brushes and one of my broken blushers) sorry for rubbish photo iPhones ay?  These 3 are my go to products for eyes. Products - Skin Based Illamasqua Hydravei l (black pot image below) Its in lots of my posts and it just helps hydrate and set the skin up for makeup. I love it, and I do get compliments when I wear it so it must be good. 10/10 Maybelline Baby Skin - Instant pore eraser? hmm I didn't hold out much hope for this product as I didn't really like the Baby Lips Maybelline bought out a while back. I actually think this product is pretty good and you get quite a bit for the money you pay. I think it does help smooth skin ready for foundation. 6/10 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - its...

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

Image
As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!  ...
